FTIsland Concludes Mini Album Promotions & Departs For Japan


5-Member band FTIsland is wrapping up their 3rd mini album promotions, to prepare for their upcoming Japan tour.

Their management company, FNC Music, revealed on the 15th that, “FTIsland is ending their mini album promotion on next week’s SBS Inkigayo. They will embark on their Japan tour which starts on the coming 29th, lasting for a month. They will leave for Japan on 28th after Hongki completes his recording for Immortal Song 2 on the previous day.”

“The members have been practising for their Japan tour on days without music shows. Though it’s unconfirmed, there are plans for an Asia tour after ending their Japan tour.”

FTIsland will depart for Japan on 28th for their first concert stop at Nagoya on 29th. The “2011 FTIsland Summer Tour Messenger” will also be held at Osaka, Tokyo and Fukuoka, with a finale concert at Tokyo Budoukan on 29th July.

Budoukan is one of the most notable concert venues in Japan. Top stars like Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and Hallyu stars like Dong Bang Shin Ki, Big Bang, Ryu Siwon as well as the late Park Yongha have once stood on this stage before.

On the other hand, FTIsland have been actively promoting their 3rd mini album “RETURN” with the title song “Hello Hello” since 24th May, after almost a year since their previous comeback.
