The 5 members of the Korean band F.T Island released a new single in Japan on October 21st called “Raining.” This will be the band’s 3rd Japanese single and to get things started they will be held special in-store events to promote the new single and yours truly was there to catch a glimpse of the action!

Over the week the boys have been promoting with fan meets and special lives all over Tokyo. I got to see these boys rock at the special live at the Apple Store in Ginza on Saturday. Over 200 fans showed up in this small space to cheer on armed with glow sticks and all. F.T.Island sang 3 songs one which included Raining. HongKi wasn’t with the boys in Japan so Jae Jin did a most of the singing and I must say he did a pretty good job. HongKi is currently filming the drama Minami Shineyo (You’re Beautiful) back in Korea. The group expressed their feelings about HongKi and how they miss him because hes been very busy filming. They said this will be the 1st and only live they will do without their lead singer.
After the band finished their performance there was a short Q&A. Fans asked several questions. One fan expressed her feelings about the new song Raining and how it made her cry. F.T.Island explained that the lyrics were very poetic and that they tried really hard to come up with a melody that complimented them and it really did pay off.
After the Q&A they gave away a signed copy of their new single to a lucky fan. And how was this fan chosen? Through a game of rock paper scissors.
Check out the photos from the event!
