The group also confirmed it would be setting off on an arena tour from June to July, with plans to make stops in Nagano and Shizuoka for the first time ever, as well as Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and Miyaki, on the six-city, nine-concert tour.

Lee Hong Gi said, “We’re preparing to give off more of a rock feel for this arena tour. It will be a show with a summer feel.” He continued, “We’re nervous because we’ll be going to Nagano and Shizuoka for the first time, but we want to create a show that many people can enjoy.”

The fans also surprised the members with a special event, singing happy birthday for Lee Hong Gi and leader Choi Jong Hoon, who celebrated their birthdays earlier this month on March 2 and March 7, respectively.

FT Island most recently took the top spot on Japan’s DVD chart with its live DVD 2012 TAKE FTISLAND in Seoul, and fans are patiently awaiting the release of its tenth Japanese single You Are My Life on March 27.
