Record number of fans attend FT Island’s Mezamashi Live event On August 9, 2011

FT Island recently topped a record previously set by Big Bang as their popularity sky rockets in Japan.
On August 7th, FT Island made their first appearance on Japan’s Mezamashi Live Event hosted by Fuji TV and has set a record for the number of people attending the event. The maximum capacity was set at 2,000 audience members but nearly 40,000 fans came to see the boys of FT Island perform.
This concert garnered even more interest because the number of audience who gathered for FT Island’s concert had topped the record audience number for Big Bang’s concert.
During the concert, FT Island started the performance with their newest single, “LET IT GO” and followed it with songs such as “FLOWER ROCK“, “Brand-new days“, and “Boom Boom Boom“.
FT Island has been setting many records in Japan such as being the first foreign artist to become number one on the Oricon weekly charts with their first debut album and selling out in all five cities in a matter of days after announcing their concert tour in Japan. Their tickets for Budokan solo concert also sold out in just 2 minutes after going on sale.
Meanwhile, FT Island is planning their Asia tour after holding their concert in AX-Korea on August 20th and 21st.
