Revealing, the unexpected audiovisual enjoyment

Although I was a little surprised, FTISLAND members are really very easygoing. When they went up on stage, they stood at their respective places, said "Hello, everybody", and then started to sing. It was so fast that the off-stage Pri didn't even have enough time to carefully observe what FT was wearing, what new changes were in place. Starting from Minhwan's first drum beat, those at the venue who were waiting to scream from their throats were momentarily stunned. What song was this? Japanese new single? Some song from their Korean album? A self-written song? Or was it a translated cover? Although they swayed to the music, the pentastick also continually held up high, quite a few Pri looked at each other, their hearts unknowingly filling with self-blaming emotions. (Eg, I'm not a full-time Pri; I've never even heard of this song before. FT, I'm sorry. *cries*)

I don't know who it was who said, "Could it be the new song?", awakening those who were deep in thought, but everyone started to more or less predict FTISLAND's comeback time. FNC's publicity plan was already understood by all the fans: When CNBLUE released an album in Japan, then FTISLAND will do a comeback in Korea. Vice versa. Considering this, the live atmosphere suddenly went into the state of unveiling of a new song, the fans started to seriously inspect this new music. The rhythm was good, the melody catchy; Hongki even rotated his shoulders and performed sexily - it was good! But FTISLAND members totally did not allow the Pri to enjoy; it wasn't even a minute before the song was changed, they took turns teasing the Pri 5 times! 5 times! (COOL: COOL was even teased to tears.) Although there was mild dissatisfaction, (everyone) didn't dare to think much, afraid that this precious minute would be over with a "whoosh"! After the push-and-pull, FTISLAND members finally officially stood on the stage and greeted the Pri. Everyone was so eager to ask what was just sung, their eyes were all shining!

HK: Hello, everyone. Why don't we begin by introducing ourselves like before. From the way I see it, that section of the audience doesn't really seem to know us.
JJ: Nah, they definitely know me.
HK: (glances at Jaejin) The whole of that section doesn't know you, alright!
JJ: Then do they all know you?
HK: That's why I say we should do a self-introduction.
SH: Hello everyone, I am Song Seunghyun who has recently hit the jackpot because of [Jack The Ripper].
JJ: Hello everyone, I am Lee Jaejin who is very famous because of my appearance.
MH: Hello everyone, I am drummer Minhwan.
HK: That's all?
MH: Yeah.


Appreciating, those things which are said to be uncommon

Hongki's earlier talk portion released a piece of important news: Those five songs just performed were new songs recorded in the new album. Seeing that some of the girls were stunned, some were reminscing, and others screaming, FTISLAND members laughed happily. They've already debuted for five years, but FT is still the picture of mischief not unlike kindergartners; because of this little prank they pulled, they were so happy. The three songs,「Life」,「That Person From Shinsadong」and「I'll Love Everything」were sung passionately, the atmosphere gradually moving into a sad story with a rock-and-roll style which was irresistible. I have to say that in "Immortal Song 2", Hongki sang「That Person From Shinsadong」into perfection, an immortal song. Having been through this year's Summer Tour Japan, Hongki's voice seemed to be a little tired, but he still upped his stage at "Immortal Song 2" by 120%, and there were even Pri who cried. Listening to this song live is even sadder than listening to it many times over on the computer. I felt like I could really understand the auntie who stood offstage crying nonstop, and the original teacher who had a pleased expression in his eyes.
