■ Album | FTISLAND’s Past 10 Years, And Another Beginning
On June 7th, 2007, teenage boy band FTISLAND appeared in the K-Pop scene like a comet. With their debut song ‘Love Sick,’ they won #1 on a network music program just 55 days after debut, ranked #1 on weekly music charts for 8 weeks, and took home all of the rookie awards of that year.
10 years later on June 7th, 2017! FTISLAND released their 10th anniversary album ‘OVER 10 YEARS.’ This album looks back on FTISLAND’s past and looks forward to FTISLAND’s future that extends beyond 10 years.
“We didn’t settle. We kept trying to evolve. Because we didn’t fear that change, we were able to endure for a long time” say FTISLAND members about the past 10 years. FTISLAND didn’t settle with their immediate popularity and took on new challenges! By trying music of broad spectrum for the past 10 years, FTISLAND grew as a band with their own color.
FTISLAND expressed their long musical journey with various genres in their10th anniversary special album ‘OVER 10 YEARS.’
■ Recommendation | Hidden Classics As Recommended By FTISLAND
1. PRAY / FTISLAND - I WILL
It’s meaningful because it’s the title song of FTISLAND’s first album only with self-composed songs, and it’s about their worldly troubles at the time.
2. Even If It’s Not Necessary (꼭은 아니더라도) / FTISLAND - Cross & Change
Love the lyrics. Love it’s message that I won’t rush towards you but wait because you would remember me at least once.
3. Meeting (마중) / FTISLAND - The Refreshment
It’s a really great song. Rather than rushing to love, the song is filled with emotions from the old days. You can feel the beauty of waiting as you hear about waiting and falling in love on your own.
4. I Even Lost A Friend (친구마저 잃었다) / FTISLAND - GROWN-UP
I could really relate to this song when I went through my first one-sided love. If I listen to it now, I remember how young and innocent I was at the time. I laugh and think about how cute that was. But at the time, I found comfort through this song.
5. Memory / FTISLAND - THANKS TO
This was our first self-composed song to promote on air. But our promotion period was short and we had many regrets about the album. So we definitely want you to listen to it again!
6. Take Me Now / FTISLAND - FTISLAND 6th ALBUM [Where`s the truth?]
‘Take Me Now’ is the title song of our second all self-composed official album ‘Where’s The Truth?’ It’s strong sounds stand out to the point that the music video was shot in fire. It’s an awesome song that lets you heat up your already hot summer.
7. Don’t Love (사랑하지 마요) / FTISLAND - Colorful Sensibility
All of our ballad songs have really sad lyrics. This is one of the saddest. It’s one of the best songs that described the sadness after a breakup. If you are sad after a breakup, I hope you listen to this song and let out all of your sadness.
8. Lose / FTISLAND - FTISLAND 6th ALBUM [Where`s the truth?]
It’s one of the songs that our fans really like. It makes an amazing sound with strings and shouting. If you haven’t heard it yet, we want to recommend it to you.
9. Black Chocolate / FTISLAND - I WILL
It’s my first self-composed song that came out the way I wanted it to. It’s especially meaningful because it was included in our first self-composed official album. It’s a good song. Please listen to it!
10. To The Light / FTISLAND - I WILL
For those who want to listen a song that’s like a novel, we recommend ‘To The Light!’ From the clock sound in the intro, you will be able to meet a dreamy FTISLAND that you couldn’t find in other songs! Please pay a close attention to the lyrics!
