FTISLAND (FNC Entertainment)
Five-member boy band FTISLAND will sing the closing song of animated film “Toriko,” which will hit cinemas in Japan on July 27, the entertainers’ agency said Thursday.
The song “Shiawa Seoli” will be released as the group’s 11th Japanese single cover on July 24.
“Toriko” is based on a comic with same name released through Shonen Jump magazine since 2008. It follows the journey of Toriko, a gourmand, in search of the best ingredients around the world. The comic book was made into a TV animation film and aired through Fuji TV in 2011, where FTISLAND sang the ending song, “Satisfaction.”
The band members also participated in the voiceover for the film.
