FT Island’s concert DVD topping charts in Taiwan and Japan

Recordings of a boy band FT Island’s sixth solo concert last year topped the DVD chart in Taiwan after it topped charts in Japan a week before.

The band’s concert dubbed “Take FT Island” in September at Olympic Park in Songpa, southwestern Seoul, was recorded and released in a DVD format.

Taiwan’s music chart operator G Music said it was the most popular DVD in the first week of this month. Another chart, Taiwan 5 also ranked the group’s concert recordings No. 1 for the same period.

At the September concert, the band saw fans coming from all across the world including Denmark, Spain, Italy, Poland and elsewhere.

The group plans to release its 10th Japanese single album “You Are My Life” on March 27 in Japan. Prior to the release, it will hold an official fan meeting on March 17 in Tokyo to promote its new album.
