November 28, 2013 Love it!FTIsland never disappoints me, this is one of the reasons I'm still a Primadonna, more than 6 years later. The fact that the album consists of all self-composed songs that sound amazing, shows they've grown as artists and are not merely pretty faces. My favourite songs from this album are Try Again, Memory, and Always With You.
Also, I must thank YesAsia for bringing autographed albums. I'm more than willing to pay a little more to add another autographed album/dvd to my collection.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
FTIsland Remake Album - Memory in FTIsland
FTIsland Remake Album - Memory in FTIsland
(1)Our Price: US$13.99List: US$18.99Save: US$5.00 (26%)November 9, 2011 I LOVE FTI!I love this album, and whoever chose these songs to remake, did a great job!
Of course, Hongki sang the songs really well, and I think Jaejin has improved.
Unfortunately, I had a problem with the packaging.
Something about the outer box made it difficult to remove the book inside. At first I struggled a bit trying to pull the book out and it wasn't coming out so I thought I would have to rip the outer box apart. But eventually I pulled it out without ruining the outer box. The packaging is nice and different and I wouldn't mind if they reuse this packaging for future releases. However, if they do reuse this packaging, I hope there will be small adjustments so the contents inside can be removed without damaging other parts of the packaging.
The book inside is nice although the images are in black and white. There's about 3 - 4 individual pictures of each member. For the lyrics, instead of the lyrics all at the back of the book, it's a member's photos, then the lyrics, another member's photos, then lyrics again, etc. Also, be careful when you're opening the book because the CD is attached to the book like how Cheerful Sensibility's CD was attached to the book. It's not very sturdy.
Once again, I am satisfied with YesAsia's service.
Standard shipping took about 2 weeks to arrive as they've stated on their site. I will continue to purchase from YesAsia as long as they continue to sell FTIsland products.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
FTISLAND Tour 2011 Summer Final "Messenger" (Japan Version)
November 8, 2011 Love it, but expensive..I was really excited when I received the package because I wanted to see the mini card. I opened it and found Hongki's card again but this time it's the size of a postcard! Such a beautiful postcard! ^^
The packaging is the same as their other Japanese DVDs. The photobook seems to be the same size as the other photobooks for their other Japanese DVDs, I didn't count the pages this time. Pages inside are not completely glossy therefore the finger prints are not as noticeable.
Downside is the price. This has to be their most expensive DVD so far.. The second DVD only includes 5 more songs, an ending, and special features for about $20 more than their other DVDs! Even their 2010 Hands up!! tour DVD that included 31 additional features on the second DVD was cheaper than this when I purchased it here in 2010. Unfortunately YesAsia has since increased the price for that DVD.
Overall, satisfied with the product, not the price. But, YesAsia's service was great as usual.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 30, 2011 Beautiful!This arrived in the mail this morning along with their new Japanese album. I always enjoy opening the package for their Korean releases becauses they are often packaged very nicely rather than in regular jewel cases or plastic boxes. I would like to see more effort put into packages for the Japanese items especially since the limited edition versions of their singles often costs more than an album.
The packaging is designed like a pamphlet, which isn't anything new because they've used this design before, In the Editorial Description they wrote it comes with a 40-page photobook. But it is only 40 pages if you count one page double sided, as two pages. If you were expecting a thick photobook, you may be disappointed. However, the images inside are nice and coloured. Entire package is matte, so you won't have to worry about leaving visible finger prints behind like you would with glossy packages.
I haven't watched the contents on the DVDs yet so I can't write about that. But if you've watched any of their DVDs before, this shouldn't be anything too different.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

(2)Our Price: US$36.99List: US$48.99Save: US$12.00 (24%)December 24, 2010 Amazing, must have item!This is a must have for any Primadonna, especially the Hongki fans who loved him with the blond hair because all the pictures of him in this photobook is with his blond hair. ^^
Its been a while since I last wrote a review.
I didn't get the purchase their other photobook (released November 2010), because it was out of print extremely quick, but I'm glad I purchased this, money well spent!^^
Why this is an amazing and must have item?
Its a really thick 200 page photobook, the images are in colour, and the images included are simply beautiful! The photobook includes pictures of them on stage performing, but also many up-close and beautiful pictures of them from photo shoots in the different countries, behind the stage and rehearsal photos, photos of them eating, at interviews, and even a few pictures of them in their dorm room. Example, Minhwan blow drying his hair.^^
Purchase your copy today and you'll be able to see these lovely pictures too!^^Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

July 16, 2010 Looks different but nice :)The packaging has changed again!
The photobook size is the same as Rock Prince, but nonetheless still filled with lots of beautiful pictures of each member from the tour =) Though, I wish they would go back to the packaging of the first DVD because it came with a separate photobook and a lot more pictures. Compared to Rock Prince this only comes with 1 DVD, so it's half the size. I guess that's why this one costs less. I haven't watched the DVD yet, but definitely looking forward to watching Jonghun's performance of "Livin' La Vida Loca" =P
Anyways, if you love FTI but didn't get to see them in this tour, this DVD is something you should purchase. Even if you went to the concerts, you should purchase this. Add it to your collection, show your support to our hardworking FTI =) I hope this helped for anyone interested in packagings. I'll end it here so I can watch the DVD! =)Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Beautiful Hits for Asia (CD+DVD) (Taiwan Deluxe Version)
Beautiful Hits for Asia (CD+DVD) (Taiwan Deluxe Version) DVD Region All
(1)Our Price: US$28.99List: US$37.99Save: US$9.00 (23%)March 13, 2010 I love this!I can't read a single word of Chinese, but that didn't stop me from purchasing their Beautiful Hits for Asia. ^^
I bought this about a month ago, and I absolutely love the packaging! I've never loved any CD/DVD packaging as much as I love FT Island's because all of them are different and beautiful. The contents inside are beautiful as well - a booklet filled with lovely pictures of all 5 members, then at the back it includes the lyrics in Korean to the 8 songs included on the CD. On a separate sheet they have the lyrics to the 8 songs translated into Chinese. As well, in a separate envelop they have included a group post card (same as the cover), and an individual postcard of each member with their message to their Taiwan fans, and on the back is their profile in Chinese, plus a postcard which lists their tour dates, album release dates, and appearances on Music Core, etc., (I'm not 100% sure because I'm only guessing from reading the English parts available).
Although, I'm not sure if there was a mistake with packaging mine because mine came with 2 Jonghun postcards while only one of the others. Would've preferred to get 2 of Hongki's postcards though. =P Did this happen with anyone else? I would like to know if it was a packaging mistake. >__<''
As for the contents, the CD includes 8 songs and the DVD includes the music videos for the 8 songs with Chinese subtitles. This wasn't anything too special, or new for me since I already have their albums which includes the songs and the music videos. But it's another item for my growing FT Island collection. ^^
Overall, another great purchase and I would recommend all Primadonnas to purchase this whether they understand Chinese or not since we'll be supporting our lovely FT Island. I hope this helped, and I am definitely looking forward to their future releases - 2 items (tour DVD, and new Japanese single) will be releasing within the next 2 months!
PRIMADONNAS LET'S CONTINUE TO SUPPORT FT ISLAND!
** And if anyone with this product can translate each member's fan message to English/Korean, that would be great! ^^Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

March 13, 2010 I love it!Mine was shipped on February 2nd, and when it arrived I quickly opened it to watch it. ^^
I was disappointed that my poster was poorly folded, but nevertheless it is a lovely poster.
The photobook is beautiful and filled with lots of pictures as usual. The post cards were lovely too. I would've preferred if the pictures were colourful rather than mostly black and white, but I will take what I can get.
For the contents on the DVDs, I enjoyed watching the individual interviews, etc., though I am not likely to watch them again. I just purchase them to collect and support the lovely FT Island. ^^ Of course, Wonbin wasn't included much in the DVD, not only because he isn't part of the band anymore, but because these DVDs included clips from their more recent activities, all of which Wonbin wasn't apart of (not to mention the cover includes Seunghyun. Basically, if you were planning on ordering this to see Wonbin again, then you'll be disappointed.
Overall, this was a good purchase!
If you haven't purchased this yet, you should do it quickly - less than 2 months and it's already out of print.
Now I am looking forward to purchasing their "So Long, Au Revoir tour" DVD, and their upcoming Japanese single. I definitely want to get 2 copies of the single since the limited edition ones both come with something different. ^^Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 29, 2009 LOVE IT~Another well packaged release.
I ordered this back in May, but forgot to write a review.
As usual, they've included a thick book filled with beautiful pictures. I have to be extra careful when flipping through the pages because I'm afraid the book may rip. The package opens up like a pamphlet and behind the CD and DVD, there's a beautiful picture of the group in their Rock Prince outfit. Where as their 1st Live (Korean version), the booklet and the DVD came separately. I can't compare with the Japan version of 1st Live because I don't have it yet. The 2nd one is well packaged, but I like the 1st one because it included more pictures.
I loved the "Girls Don't Know" MV because it focused on HongKi ♥
Overall, I've only watched the concert once, and haven't listened to the CD yet because I don't want to constantly take them out of the package since I want to keep them in excellent condition. But its definitely worth every penny! If you didn't get to see their live performance, watching this on full screen almost makes you feel like you were part of the audience!
I still need to get their 2 latest DVDs (2008 Livehouse & New Year Concert), and if I have enough, their 1st Live Japan version. But they are releasing their 3rd album at the end of July.
The Primadonnas who haven't ordered this, or their other releases yet, GET TO IT.
I will continue to support FT Island, and I hope all Primadonnas will too. ^^Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

May 2, 2009 I ADORE THEMI love their "I Believe Myself" song, unfortunately I haven't watched the DVD yet.
But I got Minhwan's card again (2nd one). Not a bad thing, but I would love to get HongKi's card for a change. I love the pictures in the booklet, such lovely pictures of HongKi. (:
But this obsession is costing me a fortune! They have 3 more DVDs releasing within these 2 months.
And I am unable to get the "FT Island Five Treasure Days Graduation" photobook because I don't live in Japan. =T
I'm just waiting for the day they come to Toronto for a performance. (:Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 30, 2008 AMAZINGMine arrived today.
I got the Choi Min Hwan card.
I don't mind since Choi Min Hwan is my 2nd favourite.
He's such a cutie ^^
Though I do wish I could get Lee Hong Ki.
My HongStar :)
Its limited edition - 10,000 copies released only!
Since it was released more than 10 days ago, I wonder how many copies are left. =S
If you haven't ordered yours yet, GET IT NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
For the people who already have a copy, who's card did you get?

Anyways, this mini album is nice. Though I don't really like the cover, the wonderful songs and the very creative and nice packaging with their handsome pictures makes up for it all. :D My favourite song would have to be "Heaven". Its a sad song, but I really love their rock ballad sound. "너를 사랑해.." is a happy song and its cute. ^^Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 30, 2008 AMAZINGMine arrived today along with part 2, The One and First Island concert :D
Though the cover is quite plain and their faces are not on it, the packaging is very nice. Their products always comes with so many pictures and is always packaged more creatively than ALL the other CDs/DVDs that I own. And their music, of course its wonderful. After listening to their debut single "사랑앓이" I was hooked! I love their music style, rock ballads. FT Island is always coming out with great stuff, and I am glad I found out about this wonderful group, and managed to buy everything. Though it has been said many times, Lee Hong Ki's vocals are really amazing. I can't wait to see what they'll come out with next!!

Along with Colorful Sensibility, Colorful Sensibility (Part II) and The One (Limited Edition) :D !
I went to watch it right away.
The DVD was absolutely amazing.
It felt like I was actually at the concert, and with front row seat tickets too.
I was able to see each member so clearly and upclose.
Thats $40 well spent :)
Like many other Primadonnas who were unable to see the concert live, I had to buy the DVD.
I wanted to be able to watch it in perfect quality.
Plus the packaging is nice because it comes with a thick booklet filled with pictures.
If you want to watch the concert as well, then add this to your cart for your next order :D !Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

December 24, 2008 AMAZING !I haven't received it yet, but the songs are available to listen to online.
I REALLLLLYYY LOOVE the song "You'll Be In My Heart" :)
Lee Hong Ki will always be in MY heart :D !
Well, I'm just hoping that random card that mine comes with, is Lee Hong Ki.
Wasn't happy when I got Lee Jae Jin for Prologue Of FTIsland.
Not too happy with the free desktop wallpaper with this order either.
I thought it'd be something nicely designed but its just an image large enough to fit the screen.
Not to mention Lee Hong Ki wasn't even in the center! xD
Along with ordering this, I also ordered Colorful Sensibility, Colorful Sensibility (Part II) - FINALLLYY
AND, First Island Concert DVD :D
I already have Cheerful Sensibility, The Refreshment and Prologue Of FTIsland a long time ago and I'm veryy happy that I will soon have everything I can get of FT Island since this is the only way I can support them.
I wish they would have concerts in Toronto, easier for me to go to. :(Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
August 10, 2008 Another great release
Though I don't really understand Japanese, it didn't stop me from buying their mini Japanese album. I bought this album about 2 months ago. However, this mini album was more expensive than Cheerful Sensibility and The Refreshment, and came with much less things. This mini album only came with a regular booklet with some pictures and a random mini card of one of the members. The card I received was Lee Jae Jin, though I would've much prefered to have a Lee Hong Ki card because he's my favourite of the 5. :D But I still bought their album because I want to continue supporting them and let them know they have fans in Toronto who would love to have the chance to see them in concert.
Their 2nd Korean album is set to release on August 23rd 2008. Its confirmed the title is 'Colorful Sensibility'.
Lets hope YesAsia will allow us to preorder soon because I am counting down the days til its release date, and its only 13 days away. I want to receive my copy shortly after the release date :DDid you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

August 10, 2008 ExcellentI ordered this album back in December. Though its a special album with only 3 new tracks, it was definately worth the money. The 3 new tracks are great and all the pictures included in the thick booklet, plus the 10 postcards are more than what I expected to get. Not to mention they each autographed a picture. As well, there's the Music 2.0 program which allows you to play around with the sound of the songs. So even though I already bought Cheerful Sensibility back in August, I still bought this special album. And without a doubt, I will continue to support them and buy their upcoming albums and some other things they'll release in the future. They should think about producing merchandises of each member seperately, and sell them. Like bags, stickers, etc., because I would love to have some merchandise of Lee Hong Ki :D Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
June 23, 2008 Yet another amazing album
Mine finally arrived today :)
I ordered it nearly 18 days ago.
I don't like that they randomly added a card of 1 of the members into the album. I didn't know they would include that either.
Well, I got a Lee Jae Jin one.
I don't hate him, but I prefer one with Lee Hong Ki :)
Maybe next time they could do that.
Allow the fans to choose the one they want.
Have a popularity contest or something :)
Overall, I like the songs and the pictures.
I'll be waiting for their new album.
Not sure when that'll be, but I'll order it :D

Just looking at the album cover makes me more excited;;
Although its a special album, its still worth the money.
I love the 3 new songs .. especially '너 올 때까지 -- Until You Return' :)
Looking forward to seeing the 60 new pictures.
Their new music video, was another amazing video ~~~~~!! :)
I'll forever be a fan, and forever support FT Island.

I was hoping for an autographed bag, but I still love this one. The pictures inside are amazing. Especially HongKi's pictures. ^^ The robot inside guiding you through the pages is cute~~~ The part that says "Would you like to go to FTIsland with me?", I loved it, and of course, I'd love to go. ^^ Anyways, this album is the BEST one I've bought for this price. Actually, its really amazing that I'd still buy it if it were more expensive. Its probably too early to be thinking about this, but I can't wait to see their 2nd album. Of course, I'd buy that too,, The members are all amazing and talented.
