FTISLAND is sharing a special connection with its Japanese fans.
On September 17 at midnight, FTISLAND released the full tracklist of its 10th Japanese studio album, “INSTINCT.” This marks its first Japanese studio album in about six years, since “EVERLASTING” in 2019. The release carries even more meaning as the group celebrates the 15th anniversary of their official Japanese debut this year, drawing strong interest from fans.
The new album “INSTINCT” resonates with both the weight of time the band has walked through and the unchanging drive that continues to fuel them. The title “Instinct” reflects the idea of creating music that flows not from reason, but from the heart, songs chosen through FTISLAND’s pure musical instinct, capturing the group’s “present.”
The album includes a total of 10 tracks: the lead single “Monochrome,” pre-released earlier, along with “F-R-I-E-N-DS,” “Door,” previously released singles, and brand-new songs. The lead track “Monochrome” stands out as a powerful rock song, with lyrics expressing the wish to remain true to oneself even in a monochrome world. Since its pre-release, the track has been well received, heightening expectations for the album.
Starting September 23, FTISLAND will continue their Japanese activities with a tour named after the album, “FTISLAND AUTUMN TOUR 2025 ~ Instinct ~.” The tour will kick off in Osaka on the 23rd, followed by Sendai on October 17, and Yokohama on October 25–26.
An Asian tour is also on the horizon. After reuniting with fans in Seoul this past August at the “2025 FTISLAND LIVE “MAD HAPPY”” at Blue Square SOL Travel Hall, FTISLAND is set to extend the tour to Macao, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong, further demonstrating their dynamic global momentum.
