■ Lee Hongki（from FTISLAND）／1st Solo Album『AM302』Interview（2/2）part 1
Lee Hongki (from FTISLAND) introducing memorable behind story and episodes during FTISLAND’s national tour “Autumn Tour 2015 “Where's my PUPPY?””
Beyond FTISLAND’s tour. Memorable episodes.
For the tour this time, we get to visit a lot of places in Japan, so I think its really a good thing. One by one, everything becomes a whole experience that becomes our power. Fans in various regions have been waiting for us too, I feel really thankful. When we go to cities that we often go to, everyone properly memorizes the lyrics of our upbeat new songs too. But when we go to a city that we havent visited for a long time, or a city that we visitede for the first time, they didnt even know our songs, nor memorize the lyrics. It is different with each city that we visited, so its interesting. I would be like, “Yep...(the lyrics of the song).. ah you dont know”, I would tell them directly like that. (laughs) “I’m sorry, we will come again next year! So that by then we can sing confidently!”, In cities that we often visit, its more like, “well, you guys know this song”, but in cities that we havent really visited, its a feeling like, “you guys, listen to this song”, something like that. The way they respond is different in each city, so I think its a fun thing.
The inside story of the members’ Halloween costumes during FTISLAND’s Final Tour in Nippon Budokan.
For that cosplay, Funi (Choi Jonghoon / Gt,Key) had to rent everything from somewhere, they have various kinds of them. Thats why, he was really donned up in great details. But I refused to do it, “Animation (character costume) is impossible”. That morning, I had to make the sound effects (FX). After Primavera, we were supposed to make a Halloween atmosphere. Until morning I’ve made another song (for that part?), but then I suddenly remembered that I had to make the FX. Right after I arrived in Japan, I asked our Japanese staffs to prepare for it. Since the FX would have a horror atmosphere, I thought, indeed, it wont do if people wouldnt feel scared, right?And the members have picked cute costumes, if even I wear Transformer too, wouldnt it be strange? (laugh) And thats why, I thought, “ah I would just pick Zombie”, and so thats how I ended up doing a zombie cosplay. Wa.. I was really tired that night, I think I passed out afterwards, I couldnt remember anything else after that. (laughs)
