Although I forgot to post this like on Friday, March 9^th, like I should have when I first returned, being the lazy and distracted person I am, I give you CN Blue and FT Island’s “Stand UP” Concert 120309 photos. . . .and a bit of videos~!    

The anticipation of waiting was really killing me. . . .And my heart would not stop beating. I was incredibly happy and excited. I was about 30~40 seats from the stage on the right side of the theater which was like right next to the screen. LOL!!

I could not stay still in my seat for my life! I also brought binoculars . . . but they were no use. Plus is didn’t really need them xDDD Once the lights dimmed down and a light show began, the screen in the picture? Yeah that came down and revealed our first performers, CN Blue.

They started out with “직감(INTUITION)” to begin a wonderful performance for the hour. They played a song after the other from “직감(INTUITION)” onto “Love Girl” then “사랑(Love)”  and smoothly moved to “Now or Never”,  bringing out “Tattoo” then “One Time” [FANCAM] 씨엔블루(CN Blue) - One Time 'Stand Up' Concert 120309 

and of course they would need to play “외톨이야)(I’m a Loner)”. [FANCAM] 씨엔블루(CN Blue) - 외톨이야(I'm a Loner) 'Stand Up' Concert 120309

Between the songs, they played some of their Japanese hit songs and rocked out. If you would have gone, you would have noticed Yong-Hwa’s voice. He screamed partially while singing but still his voice shined~! I noticed some penalties but he just smiled so I couldn’t say anything! And dang, the members of CN Blue. . . .O.O why Min-Hyuk? LOL. CN Blue said L.A. a lot of times (but not as much as FT Island), but their English wasn’t that bad. They tried and they made an effort and they performed the best concert!

Every now and then, Yong-Hwa threw his picks into the crowd! So lucky! At the end, every band member threw something into the crowd, like picks and even a drum stick! A little towards the end of their stage, they asked us if we wanted FT Island? Some screamed but I guess we were louder when they asked if we wanted them. There was a lot of half-half action screaming going on. But they played their last song (I’m a Loner) and left the stage.

But some people noticed that Jung-Shin sang Jong-Hyun’s parts on songs while the said latter sang some of Yong-Hwa’s parts; it kind of baffled people. And Jong-Hyun’s mic wasn’t the best when he begins his parts even though there were confused faces but most didn’t notice since they were spectacular~! ;D

There was a ten-minute intermission, which ended pretty fast and again the lights dimmed revealing red lights as the members of FT Island walked across the stage to our endless cries of joy and got ready.

Lee Hong-Ki was the little ball of energy he is and did some stretches and got himself ready on stage with his back towards us and the front people went while when he touched his toes and stuff. LOL! They finally started their stage with “헬로헬로(Hello Hello)”  but when Hong-Ki walked down the aisle into a crowd, most thought he was drunk because of the way he swayed but once we heard his voice, we realized he wasn’t drunk ‘drunk’ but was high on adrenaline for his fans.

But it was acceptable since the other members looked a bit stiff. His dancing and operatic voice never seizes to amaze us when he received answers and singing from us when he pointed the mic towards us! Though the maknae of the group, as well as drummer Choi Mi-Hwan, received many cheers whenever he appeared on the screen. I believe it was because of his large muscles. LOL!

Once they got their opening done, they made their move with introducing themselves. This is what Hong-Ki said to us, “Enjoy song, LA. Welcome. Enjoy.” He was the brilliant energy that made the internet talk about his performance for quite a few days. It was really enjoyable and funny to see him.

They gave more love towards us fans as they played “사랑앓이(Lovesick)” and moved onto “사랑, 사랑, 사랑(Love, Love, Love)” and sailed into “바래I Hope” then moving onto their newest hottest single in Korea (which Jae-Jin himself stated after the song ended), “지독하(Severely)”. [FANCAM] 에프티 아일랜드(FT Island) -- 지독하게(Severely) 'Stand Up' Concert 120309

They even played “빙빙빙(Bing Bing Bing)” and “Flower Rock (Kor. Ver.)” [He was real into this song and the mood ^^;; he began with flipping the audience and telling us to 'get the f*** out' but he meant it in a good way.^w^ Oh Hong-Ki oppa~] [FANCAM] 에프티 아일랜드(FT Island) -- Flower Rock 'Stand Up' Concert 120309

and ended fairly with a hot extended play “새들처럼(Like Birds)”. [FANCAM] 에프티 아일랜드(FT Island) --새들처럼(Like Birds) 'Stand Up' Concert 120309 

They even played some Japanese hot singles in between. [FANCAM] 에프티 아일랜드(FT Island) 'Stand Up' Concert 120309 

(I’m sorry that i do not know the name of this song! >.<) But I can say that this was after a part when he asked a fan to translate for him. It took him many tries to find someone, and I could have taken the chance but I missed out! >.< So sad; I should have run up on stage. The fan he picked was on my side! The light even shined on me! Darn! I so totally missed it. *Laughs*

But once he did find someone, the fan only translated “Have fun” which Hong-Ki replied to saying, “That’s not it! I could’ve said that too! But thank you~” in Korean. And then he said something about ‘two-east’ or something and began to perform (the video). . . . .but the dance was good xDD

Once they finished “Like Birds”, it was time for our FT Island wonders to walk off stage and end the night. But once they did, they came back as quickly as they left.

“I forgot we had one more song we had ready for you that we didn’t perform,” Hong-Ki stated in Korean to the much delight of many fans.

“This is really really last song. Enjoy. Last. Lots of words I want to say, but don’t know that much English, sorry,” Seung-Hyun stated in the best English he could which was still wonderful. But there was a special guest on the stage with them. It was Jung Yong-Hwa of CN Blue coming up on stage rocking out to the end of the show.

Once FT Island and Yong-Hwa exited the stage, on backstage Hong-Ki yelled everyone to head out to say their good-byes. They came in the bunch of playful boys they were. Some were carrying each other and once they came down the aisle, they put in the hands together lifting it off in the count of three. They once again faced the fans and said their final good-byes stating they would be back in L.A. once again~! ;]

May I say, that seeing them on stage was very emotional for me although I didn’t cry, I couldn’t calm down my heartbeats xDD It was the best night I had in my years of living. . . .well you know what I mean~! ;D It was really beautiful and amazing; my only regret is the translating thing and not taking more pictures and videos.
