What I've been waiting for this last three months of 08

↑ Moumoon's Single Release
↑ A new FT Island album (yeah, better late than never)
→ Big Bang's new album release (but Haru Haru is enough for me in my opinion but can they TOP that?)
→ YUI's I'll be | From 『MY SHORT STORIESã€

And let me just swoon for a minute:
O-M-G-!!! SO it's Jaejin! The additional (and very cool) vocals is the pretty boy bassist! ☺ Thanks ciré eonni, for noting that. Jaejin and Wonbin's vocals at first sound alike in Cool vs. Pretty; but in "I'm worried when I don't see you" his voice floats amazingly (even better than Wonbin's, if I may say so, and Wonbin is my favorite!!!)

Ok, let me go back now.

Christmas is fast approaching. But I have to survive November before I can finally breathe.
→ Lift Off! Kids concert >> this sunday
→ HEY JESUS! Anniversary concert

Right now I just finished the two studies for the *trial* album cover. I don't know why deviantArt is ditching up on me, but maybe I'll just post them when things get cleared up.

Anyways, I found this animation of GD. Aww, look how adorable he is!!!
Reminds me of how I miss his old hairdo...
Hehehe, the little dork.
 

Here's TOP's latest from the Big Bang NII photoshoot.
Haha. The mouthcover. ♪♫ ♥ Looks like he's a hold-upper. Stealing things. Hearts maybe?? Haha. Here we go again ^^; 

Heaven & Loving you are new songs for me. I don't think they're included in Colorful Sensibility. Are they?
 

Heaven starts off as another typical FT Island MV-- the one which includes a love triangle. However, this one focuses not on the love story but on a game. A man discovers Honggi's skill and asked to train him, but the boy, who was too much focused on the girl he liked (but unfortunately doesn't retunr his feelings) didn't pay attention. Later he learns that she likes someone else--Jonghun, his friend. But then after the girl's accident accedent, Honggi finally accepted along with his band mates and they're set out for a game that will change their lives.

Another thing that's first? This time, Honggi didn't get the girl
 

Loving you is another rock ballad song. Well, this time a cute love story is formed with Jaejin and the girl's nuna, who owns the shop. (Aww Jaejin is SO cute)  However, when the girl gets to be kidnapped, Jaejin risks his life alone to save her from a brutal criminal. 

It was a really sad ending. Lesson? When some taxi drivers asks you to give a push, don't leave your girlfriends in the car!

Carisu Says: FT Island had grown up, so far. We could see that Wonbin had his hair REALLY long and Jaejin's one sided does fit him (after a long stare). The only thing that bothers me is Jonghun's curly hair... he really looks like a pretty girl. Honggi looks manly now. I loved Wonbin's mouthcover, hadn't I said that before? Hehe. Oh, I didn't see Minhwan that much!

Honestly, I was pretty disappointed. I read that it was supposed to be *rockish* and *energetic.* By Honggi's smirk, I was hoping for a Troublemaker or Train (or something as bouncy) but that didn't turn out to be. Anyways, both are interesting PVs. I especially loved Jaejin's because he was the one who didn't get a role in their Cheerful Sensibility MV series.

Overall, a good new release, loved the songs as usual-- Honggi never fails me. I just hoped for a more livelier MV, because after all, they're still boys! :-) 

 

Who says Bassist can't rap?
Jaejin the rocker.
Has totally amazed me.
By taking on Wonbin's part on After Love (사랑후애)
The three of them (Hong-Jong-Jae) goofing around the studio was love! Honggi's vocals is just amazing.

I don't know why WB was out, but they say he was sick.
I hope he's feeling better now. :-)

Meanwhile, just recently, FT Island did Seo Taiji's 울트ë¼ë§¨ì´ì•¼ (Ultramania) on MNet Countdown.

Look at the boys' new style.
Honggi is starting to look like G-Dragon!
Heavy eyeliners, punk clad shirts and well, that emo look.
Here are some shots.

And well, one of my friend like him best, (and I've told somebody I'll take this boy and adopt him, haha)

I'm glad FT Island is getting their popularity back in Korea (but not as muchas they left it, still many Pris love them). I mean, even as now, many boybands are sprouting out of nowhere and are gaining attention too! But Ft is Ft, and I hope to hear more from them soon... like... some big show?

Keeping fingers crossed. FT Island fighting!!!

Yesasia says: One of the rarest gems excavated by the K-pop industry in recent years, F.T Island returns with their much anticipated sophomore cut Colorful Sensibility, exerting more power and energy than ever. The popular quintet became a household name after Sarang al ee, their mid-tempo ballad from the debut album Cheerful Sensibility, hit the airwaves in 2007. The song became an instant smash, clinching the #1 spot on both online and offline charts, subsequently earning the group the year's Best New Artist award.

FT Island is BACK!
The boys return with the second blast of their rock-ballad music in their latest album Colorful Sensibility. Finally!

Although their first hit is usually the first track, I'm giving you off their final track, Train, for that happy rock feel. Please take a listen and enjoy!

Carisu notes: I don't think these tracks match with the ones I first posted though, but I am still pleased with this release. I haven't listened to all of the tracks though, maybe I'd give a review later...

Their official launching is tomorrow, Aug. 23 at Melon Ax Theater.

Lee Chae Won, Jaejin's sister visited the crew of FT Island in their music video filming set...

With her pet.

Such sweet sister, supporting her (totally cute) brother!

Carisu says: Honggi's reaction was hilarious! (Aww, that cute thing, with the red accessory on its back... ) Wonbin laughs really... strange (but it's a funny laugh) Hehe. Jaejin has large earrings . He and his sister are very pretty people.

Only, what a weird thing to have an armadillo as a pet.

And they've got something for every Pri's out there...

FT ISLAND

Coming out this August.

Venue: Melon AX

 

Look, they're even shooting a new MV for the album!

Everyone's got a new hair do...
I love Minhwan's look... anyways why is he the only one in black? Honggi looks more like a boy now. (Back then he was like a pretty girl)

Oh, speaking of Honggi, vote for him in MNet's HOT younger boy 20's Choice! << #12

This is just pure ♥

Primadonnas, do you remember when Ft Island looked like this?

They all kinda look...messy, ne?

Well, their hairstylist probably decided to get busy and gave them some new look.

No more blonde Minhwan!

And check out Honggi's much shorter hair...

What do you think of their new looks?

PS: Watch out for upcoming FT Island Vol. 2 release!!!!

♥ carisu

Just watched FT Island Hanggul Island Episode 7 where Wonbin and Minhwan gets to cook. The two are arguing while cooking and the other three members are waiting for the food.

kkkk..
Minhwan is like putting up everything in their dish and big brother Wonbin is "Why are you messing up?" Owww... T_T

Poor Chef Wonbin. And he's to cook Ramen too!!! Minhwan is SOOOOO stubborn. But still cute.

And the taste test...
Honggi is ALWAYYYYYSSSS complaining. Haha! He's always teasing his bandmates! Jaejin is always in his cool. I think he's too hungry that's why he'll eat anything.

There is also a part where they have to make wishes to a darma. Everyone wished for success and good health, and they must draw to one eye and until their wishes comes true, they can draw to the other eye. Didn't get what I mean? Just watch.

 

 

Wonbin, you are a skillful cook!
No matter how aegyo Minhwannie spoils it for you!
Just one thing, the shirt... uh

 

Sometimes, mischief brings joy to my life.
(big grin)

And seeing some pretty boys to laugh to.

FT Island's Hangul Island

Oh, and Honggi, you make my day brighter.
But pelase don't act so gay. (=_=)
Wonbin might have felt embarassed from those dances. They look like idiots there.

Aww, poor boys got left out. (@_@)
Ahahaha~! You got to excercise your Japanese, boys! Go by the place yourselves...that's your challenge!!!

This is just the first out of 7 episodes aired for their show Hangul Island. I think its purpose is to share Korean Language in Japan. Well, right now, many Japanese are knowledgeable of Hanggul, and vice versa. Koreans keep sending students to study there. ^^

Watch out, there are 18 more! More Ft Island for you!!!

"Even while our love is ruffled...
in seasons of vivid colors..."

FT Island's Full PV for ãよãŽ, FINALLY! I've been waiting for this. There were more than a minute cut from the other PV launched, but this time, I'm telling you, you'll be missing some good parts if you hadn't watched this yet (looks at primadonnas)

Carisu says: How long does it take Minhwan to tie up his shoes? (^^;)

I will protect you
I will give you my all

A voice echoes in my heart
Always loving you...
