I am terribly sorry about this late spam post—I was at work and well, although my work doesn’t worth a brag, I am still trying to take it seriously because it increases the amount of allowances per month that I have, and in this case, increases the chance for me to buy the DVD and CD that I have listed in my wish list earlier this month. Okay, enough about my ridiculous wish list; it is now time to spam as much I could about our beloved Five Treasure Island and their new music video for their official Korean comeback, 사랑사랑사랑 (Love, Love, Love).
Let me be honest—I have waited this since 08:58 a.m. since there are some news that the full music video will be out at 10:00 a.m. in South Korea time (Malaysia is GMT+8 and South Korea is GMT+9, so in South Korea it is one hour faster) but it doesn’t come out until 09:20 a.m. And good gracious, the music video and the song it self are worth the wait and the anticipation.
Okay, now let us all talk about the music video first. God knows how I love the teaser it self and now that FNC Music gives us the four minutes of pure perfection—what more can I say? I freaking love the concept and I freaking love the whole music video, and this is true because throughout the whole music video, I can’t find anything that makes me want to yell or scream in hate. Despite my longing for the overly dramatic music video (that includes someone beaten up, someone died, etc.), I found my self totally immersed in this music video. Frankly, I could say that I love this ten thousand times better than their previous works—바래 (I Hope) MV, Flower Rock MV, Love Letter MV (although this should have been an exception because it consists of FT Triple), etc.
The dark and gloomy atmosphere of the music video, plus the amazing coloring and filtering and the heart-wrenching storyline beats out any music video that shows nothing but boys dancing around like monkeys and riding luxurious cars or swinging their asses like crazy. This complex and dark simplicity totally brings out the emo FT Island we all know and miss. I have been highlighting about the angst that I hope to see in this music video and well, let’s just say that I am freaking satisfied—although no one dies or hurt, but the storyline of the two puppets broke my heart. Ah, even puppets want to be in love.
Oh god, the song. I am glad that it isn’t some cheerful pop and I am even happier that FT Island goes back to their prime days of performing emotional angst rock-ballad (although I can’t categorize this song in either rock-ballad or just rock). I love the rhythm and it is hell addictive. You could sing along after just one listen—like I am right now. Hongki’s vocal sounds incredibly good and surely, it emphasizes his huskiness. The rap—oh god, I was surprised when Seunghyun starts to rap. The rap parts usually gets annoying but not in this song. It fits so well, it adds the angst and harshness to this melodramatic song. I love it, and I am off to search for the translation.
I think that I am getting used of Hongki’s hairstyle—despite my hesitation about it, I guess I have learn to like it. One thing that really bothers me from this music video is the lack of Jonghoon, Jaejin and Minhwan. There are just too much exposure of Hongki and the puppets plus, a tiny bit of Seunghyun—just because he does the rap parts. Okay, I need to emphasize this; FT Island has five members, so please equally show each and every one of them in the music video. FT Island isn’t just about Hongki. Though, I love the concepts that the boys opt—nice and simple boys in neat suits don’t hurt at all. Thumbs up for the style but still, hands down for the hairstyles. I guess Jaejin and Jonghoon rock their hairstyle but not Hongki and perhaps, get rid of that wavy off Seunghyun. I love it better if he has his Missing You days’ hairstyle—the dark shade and messy—rather than darker shade and wavy. But still, they are five freaking gorgeous boys in no matter what hairstyles they have.
This is random. Someone just points out to me that the flashing walls—the awesome flashing walls that I hope I could have in my bedroom—features this artwork called ‘The Temptation of St. Bernard’ by Dali and you could point it out too if you focus at the flashing walls and found an animation of something with sort of long pair of legs. Even the male puppet seems to resemble Dali in a way or two. Yeah, that is what I am talking about. Well, I could have said the director of this music video is pretty creative but I still want the flashing walls—I want the flash on my walls to change every second.
And no, you will not find FT Island as puppets in this music video. They don’t even wear the same clothes as in the teaser so don’t look for FT Island puppets. They are alive and gorgeous—totally not five freaking gorgeous puppets as we have fall in love with in the teaser.
Come to think about, would it be necessary for me to make a different post regarding the songs from the mini-album Beautiful Journey? Or should I just keep my opinions to my self because no one freaking care to know?
On the other hand, I guess Hongki and Jaejin now both have Twitter, as Jonghoon followed them—so that kinds of verify that both accounts are genuine. Go ahead and follow them. Both have quite interesting usernames.
