CNBlue's "FIRST STEP" release information and guerilla concert notice

 

After the first and second teaser clips for CNBlue's upcoming full-length album, "FIRST STEP", were released, their management finally announced the details of their album release.
On March 15th, FNC Music left a message on their official website. It said the following:



"Hello.


This is the person in charge of FNC MUSIC fanclub.


Everyone, on March 21st, CNBLUE's first studio album [FIRST STEP] will be available!


The sensational CNBLUE who swept away the Best New Artist in the 2010 music awards!
Shocking release of first studio album "FIRST STEP"!!


# CNBLUE first studio album "FIRST STEP"
In 2010, CNBLUE received immense popularity from their songs "I'm a Loner", "LOVE", amongst others!
After sweeping the "Best New Artist" and "Digital Music Bonsang" at 2010 MAMA (Mnet Asia Music Awards), Seoul Music Awards, Melon Music Awards, Golden Disk Awards, CNBLUE's long-awaited first studio album "FIRST STEP" will be released.
The meaning of "FIRST STEP" is that the members of CNBLUE have stepped into being real musicians. To prove this, many songs in the album are composed by the members themselves.
In this album, CNBLUE's unique bass sounds can be heard in "직감 (Intuition)", "LOVE GIRL", "상상 (Imagine)", etc. Included in the album are remakes of CNBLUE's Japanese single songs such as "One Time", which reached #1 in Japan's Oricon Indies Weekly Charts, and "I Don't Know Why", which reached #8 on Oricon Daily Charts. It was regretful that the Japanese songs that reached #1 on the Oricon Indies Charts were not released in Korea. Thus, they will now be released as gifts for the Korean fans.


# REAL MUSIC! CNBLUE!
Debuting in Japan with 3 singles, 2 mini-albums, and 1 studio album, CNBLUE will release their first studio album "FIRST STEP" in Korea. Through "FIRST STEP", they proved their infinite possibilities as musicians. Over 100 live street and club performances in Japan improved their playing and vocal skills. In this album, they were directly involved in the composition and arrangement of 9 out of 12 songs. Along with their perfect vocal performances, CNBLUE will introduce their music and take the path as musicians step by step.
CNBLUE has emerged as the new MUSE of the music industry! We look forward to them showcasing their music!


Thank you."


On the same day, CNBlue's management also released a notification on their upcoming guerilla concert. The notice stated:


"Hello.
This is the person in charge of FNC MUSIC fanclub.


On March 21st, CNBLUE's first full studio album will be released, and simultaneously, CNBLUE's live guerilla concert will be held.


CNBLUE's studio album "FIRST STEP" guerilla concert was prepared as an opportunity to get closer to CNBLUE's new songs. We hope that, through the guerilla concert, you will feel twice as impressed by the new songs.
