This is the highest chart position FT Island has reached in Japan since their debut in 2007. “Satisfaction” is also the ending theme song of Fuji TV’s animation program, “Toriko.” This single album, also containing pop tracks “Friends” and “I Want,” is FT Island’s fourth consecutive single to rank in the top 10 of Oricon Charts, following last year’s “So Today…” which took the 6^th position on the daily chart.  In the mean time, Lee Hong Ki, the lead vocalist of the group, has been cast as the lead role for new TBS drama “Muscle Girl,” so the group’s popularity in Japan is only expected to grow.
