I enjoyed reading the fan acct of FT Island Zepp concert in Japan, sharing here -
post by vic8 at soompi.
I went to the Zepp Tokyo performance it was awesome... SInce no one has added a fan account I thought I would try to write one. It's my first one so it mite be kinda...sucky but yeah i'll try my best!!! I couldn't understand their japanese so sorry about that

Hong Ki oppa's voice was amazing and enchanting as usual, Jonghun oppa's hotness raidated as usual, Jaejin oppa's calming voice was lovely as usual, Minhwan oppa and his aegyo!!! keke, Seunghyun oppa's japanese skills.

The show started at around 7:15pm...just 15mins late but it was worth the wait! The first song that they sang was FT Island, Let's Go! It was really lively, and the audience was really into it. Hong Ki oppa jumping up and down really gave us energy.After the first song Hong Ki oppa introduced the group in English and then Japanese and then Korean! His english has improved!!! keke. Hong Ki oppa talked about the destinations of their tour and Minhwan oppa showed his cute aegyo *screams* After each of the members introduced themselves talked about what they had been doing and preparing they went on to their second song. (sorry i can't understand japanese so i had practically no idea what was going on besides picking up a few words here and der)

If my memory serves me right, their second song was Troublemaker Again superb ...Third song, TV Radio. there were images of TV's and Radio's in the background. we were in the standing section so it was nice to jump along to their songs...Fourth song was Barae ...Hong Ki oppa's voice was really vibrant and radiated through the crowd.This was one of their BEST songs...tho in my opinion all of them are FAB *biased* Fifth song was bing bing bing :)Hong Ki oppa's cute butt shake as usual and Jonghun oppa, Jae jin oppa and Seunghyun oppa twirling around in circles....hee hee :)I'm not sure if it was here or some time else but Seunghyun oppa accidentally kissed Hong Ki oppa on the cheek and Hong Ki wiped it off dusgustingly in a joking way it was adorable. 6th song was One word from the On air ost. but it was really sad cos they dedicated it to Park yong ha sunbae and Hong Ki oppa slowed down the song...it was very touching. People around were all crying and Hong Ki oppa himself was crying as well :(7th song was um...Raining i think ... the vocals and instruments were in a really nice harmony ...8th song was I believe myself...9th song was Soyogi? yah ...
...I'll try 2 continue l8r...hav 2 go now sorry its not d best :/

post from vic8 at soompi - continuation of fan account at the ZEPP Tokyo FT Island performance, sharing here.

I've finally got around to finishing this fan account keke. I hope you enjoy the last bit of it I dun think there will b any fancams tho as ZEPP doesnt allow any cameras or phones within the hall. The japanese fans are all very law abiding so it will be quite difficult to find videos :/

Encore bit:

The japanese fans began chanting "En-co-re" hoping and yearning for the oppas to show themselves again! Obviously they would, after all the lights were still out! The fans chanted um...so very softly and gently. Compared to Jang Geun Suk oppa's fan meets in Singapore and Hong Kong they were practically whispering! Even compared to FT Island's January showcase in Singapore, these fans were really REALLY soft though they were 2000 people in comparison to 800+. The oppas eventually appeared dressed in the concert t-shirt. The shirt if you guys haven't seen one is a baby blue with pink words and stars on it. It's pretty girly so it was quite amusing to have them wear it. But they looked good anyway! Jaejin oppa, Seunghyun oppa and Minhwan oppa also had the concert towels around their necks. Hong Ki oppa however refused to wear the shirt! Instead he wore his typical black singlet, but tied the shirt around his shoulders. and was holding on to the towel.

For their encore, they performed um...3 songs! They first performed 'The One'. It was really touching and sad cos Hong Ki oppa went into the dark side of the stage for some reason...and he didn't really smile. *curious to know* The rest of the members seemed to enjoy the performance more tho. Jonghun oppa's english improved...lol. But seunghyun oppa still has the issue of pronouncing "long" as "wong" their konglish is cool. Hearts from the ceiling began to float down. everyone trying to jump to grab one

The second piece they played was Treasure from the new single. It was really nice. Hong Ki oppa's voice in the beginning was AMAZING. All of the members sang and they all did REALLY REALLY WELL!!! Maybe, they've been practicing...or maybe they just always had the talent but was neva able to show it. The last song performed was Primadonna...AS USUAL it was dedicated to all the fans and it was really sweet. All 5 of them began singing and got off their instruments and jumped along to the song with all the fans. After that song they all stood together and bowed and said thanks in Japanese. Hong Ki oppa used his towel and wiped his underarms before throwing it out to the fans! I don't know if you think of that as either DISGUSTING or SO CUTE! lol. Jonghun oppa rewarded a very lucky girl with a handshake. Seunghyun oppa, Jaejin oppa and Minhwan oppa threw their towels as well.
thats the end then thanx for reading!

These videos are focused on Hongki most of the time so don't expect to see Jaejin, Seunghyun or Minhwan. Hongki has been a blond for a very long time now, I think I forgot how it feels to see him with his black hair Let's hope there'll be more fancams wherein we could see all the members
