Five Treasure Island And Its Satisfaction.

This is actually a surprise—FT Island has releases the music video for their latest Japanese single, Satisfaction on April 5. I remembered that the teaser was released just a little less than a week ago. Anyway, I am not going to complain about it because I like my satisfaction to be sent in early too.




The slow-motions scenes in the music video of Satisfaction must have been the slowest yet the best slow-motions scenes I have even encounter in my life. These slow-motions scenes give a fan girl the perfect moments to stare at the perfections of these five gorgeous boys. Although I have to unwillingly agree that the music video is a bit dull and slightly too simple, but—God saves me—the boys have never look as awesome as they are in any other music video but this one.

Satisfaction—the song is a better improvement than their last Japanese single, So Today—which has to be my least favorite Japanese single from them since their major debut in 2010. I am sorry but I don’t really have So Today as my daily dose of FT Island. I would skip that song most of the time, sorry. But this has a nice anime feeling to it and considering that it is an ending theme for an anime currently, who would argue about that. I love the amazing beat and the flow of the song from its beginning to its end. One thing I particularly like about Satisfaction that it has fair flow of the voices from amazing vocalist Hongki, Jaejin and my absolute bias Seunghyun. I like his rap parts; it adds some edge and funkiness to this song. It gives somewhat an energetic feel to it.

I do not do Japanese translation because I have ditch my Japanese lesson years ago so I will not complain much about the lyrics. Based on observation though, I hear not much of English words but the word Satisfaction in the rap part. I like that it does not have some random English lyrics here and there (in reference of Flower Rock and my favorite Brand New Days).

As for the appearance and the eye candies of the music video, I would have to say that this has to be the most normal yet absolutely amazing appearances of the boys of FT Island that I have ever see. I like this, simple yet it brings out the awesomeness of each member. Although I am missing the blonde on Seunghyun lately, I could not agree more than his current black makes him looks younger by five years. I love his blue jacket, someone please buy one for me. I also like what leader Jonghoon is wearing, it brings out the leader charisma—of which I do not know why I feel it that way. I approve Hongki and his hair, with no extra rant attach.

Jaejin makes putting on a jacket looks so amazingly sexy in the slow-motion scene. It is not easy to make something easy looks sexy but Jaejin pulls it off. I was staring at the screen of my laptop like crazy over the slow-motion scenes. I already expect Seunghyun to do something no one else will—jumping. But hey, he must be the coolest person to jump and looks good simultaneously in a slow-motion shot. Good job, my favorite guitarist. One thing to rant though is the lack of drummer Minhwan and Jonghoon in this amazing music video. Come on, directors tend to have this flaw from one music video to another. Why can’t you satisfy all us fan girls?

Now that I am complete head over heels for this song, I am considering the option of buying the single. Although with the news that FT Island is going to release a Japanese full album—with their previous hits and new song s include in May—I am also thinking about just buying the full album instead. But if I could stare at the perfect album cover of Satisfaction all day long like an insane fan, why would I take the time to wait anyway? I believe FT Island will have it big with Satisfaction, now that it reflects their awesomeness plus it is featured as the ending theme for anime Toriko. Good publicity never hurts, and they are awesome in their own ways anyway.
