Because Japan is known for their large rock scene, famous Korean teen-rock band, F.T. Island, has plans to cross over. After their continuing tour (that started late December over 10 regions in Korea) finishes in March, the band will further their tour plans. On the agenda are four months of intense Japanese studies of music and language.
But what will happen to their Korean activities? The five-member group has had an amazing 2007; it’d be a waste for them to hold off their career like many others have mistakenly done. Fortunately, the boys have some brains and will squeeze in the release of their second album around Autumn of this year.
Having won many awards last year, F.T. Island stated, “Last year was just the beginning. It was a start to express our music to whoever listened. Until our second album releases, until the true colors of our music are seen, we’ll try our very best.â€
Like any rock band, the boys answered, “We think it’s because we’re always trying our best, no matter what. It’s like we’re drunk off of music,†when asked why they were so popular.

Feb 20, 2008 - 11:51 AM
I think they go big in Japan, but not really big like BoA or TVXQ
Feb 20, 2008 - 12:31 PM
i dont think the guitarists do anything..they jsut act like they be playing
Feb 20, 2008 - 01:41 PM
Crossing over to Japan has become the new “it” thing for boybands. Lol.
Feb 20, 2008 - 01:52 PM
F.T. Island is a rock band?? O.o
I thought they were all ballads. Hahaha.
Man, it’s true! You do learn new things every day.
Feb 20, 2008 - 02:33 PM
They look like 12 year old kids.
Feb 20, 2008 - 04:03 PM
anystar12 , you’ve got that right.
I don’t really like them… Honestly, I think TRAX is way better (even in Korea).
And Japan’s got some REALLY great Jrock/Visual Kei bands… They’re not gonna do so well (in my opinion).
Only reason why DBSK did well is because Johnny Entertainment sucks, and the amount of “good” JE boy groups are dwindling.

Apr 24, 2008 - 01:15 AM
actually..
the guitarist and the bass player and drummer do play..
if u watch any of thier live shows, u’ll see that they have solos…
and jong hoon plays the piano too~

The Trax is very good, in my opinion.
They just aren’t popular.
Maybe F.T Island will make it.
I mean, they have the looks.
The talent? Maybe, but Japan has a hell lot more.
Aren’t they really young?
The oldest was born in ‘90 and the youngest in ‘92?
I’m pretty sure at least.

@ jinheex: Yeah, they’re pretty young. Luckily, Japan has no problem with youngsters… Hey! Say! JUMP, anyone? xDDD
Anyway, I like their mini album. Great songs, a strong debut. And I’m glad they’re coming back to make another album in Korea, too. It wouldn’t be the first time a group would’ve neglected their home country if they had decided otherwise.
