It is known that since the release of this single in the 2000s, the song AKU MASIH DISINI is still loved. Therefore, they decided to recycle the song with a different nuance.

"Apparently, this song still receives appreciation on various digital platforms. AKU MASIH DISINI is a song that was created in 2006 as a single from Tahta's first album," Phewe said.

"With a concept of a music video set at an airport and telling the story of a man hoping for a woman's love," Phewe added.

2. Consistent in the Pop Genre

In the latest music video, Tahta tries to continue the story by portraying a woman who reappears and comes to a man who has long awaited her.

The band, originally named Kanaya and later changed to Tahta, remains consistent with the chosen pop genre. However, there are some changes in terms of style and fashion among the Tahta members.
