99 Things Guys Look For in Girls
1. Guys don't actually look after good-looking girls. They prefer neat and presentable girls.
2. Guys love flirts.
3. A guy can like you for a minute, and then forget you afterwards.
4. When a guy says he doesn't understand you, it simply means you're not thinking the way he is.
5. "Are you doing something?" or "Have you eaten already?" are the first usual questions a guy asks on the phone just to get out from stammering.
6. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.
7. When a guy really likes you, he'll disregard all your bad characteristics.
8. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
9. Guys will do anything just to get the girl's attention.
10. Guys hate it when you talk about your ex-boyfriend.
11. When guys want to meet your parents. Let them.
12. Guys want to tell you many things but they can't. And they sure have one habit to gain courage and spirit to tell you many things and it is drinking!
13. Guys cry!!!!!!!!
14. Don't provoke the guy to heat up. Believe me. He will.
15. Guys can never dream and hope too much.
16. Guys usually try hard to get the girl who has dumped them, and this makes it harder for them to accept their defeat.
17. When you touch a guy's heart, there's no turning back.
18. Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?!..uh...never mind!" would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking.
19. Guys go crazy when girls touch their hands.
20. Guys are good flatterers when courting but they usually stammer when they talk to a girl they really like.
21. When a guy makes a prolonged "umm" or makes any excuses when you're asking him to do you a favor, he's actually saying that he doesn't like you and he can't lay down the card for you.

51. You have to tell a guy what you really want before getting involved with that guy.

74. Girls who bathe in their eau de perfumes do more repelling than attracting guys.
75. Guys are more talkative than girls are especially when the topic is about girls.
76. Guys don't comprehend the statement "Get lost" too well.
77. Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions but still love them more.
78. When a guy gives a crooked or pretentious grin at your jokes, he finds them offending and he just tried to be polite.
79. Guys don't care about how shiny their shoes are unlike girls.
80. Guys tend to generalize about girls but once they get to know them, they'll realize they're wrong.
81. Any guy can handle his problems all by his own. He's just too stubborn to deal with it.
82. Guys find it so objectionable when a girl swears.
83. Guys' weakest point is at the knee.
84. When a problem arises, a guy usually keeps himself cool but is already thinking of a way out.
85. When a guy is conscious of his looks, it shows he is not good at fixing things.
86. When a guy looks at you, either he's amazed of you or he's criticizing you.
87. When you catch him cheating on you and he asks for a second chance, give it to him. But when you catch him again and he asks for another chance, ignore him.
88. If a guy lets you go, he really loves you.
89. If you have a boyfriend, and your boy best friend always glances at you and it obviously shows that he is jealous whenever you're with your boyfriend, all I can say is your boy best friend loves you more than your boyfriend does.
90. Guys learn from experience not from the romance books that girls read and take as their basis of experience.
91. You can tell if a guy is really hurt or in pain when he cries in front of you!
92. If a guy suddenly asks you for a date, ask him first why.
93. When a guy says he can't sleep if he doesn't hear your voice even just for one night, hang up. He also tells that to another girl. He only flatters you and sometimes makes fun of you.
94. You can truly say that a guy has good intentions if you see him praying sometimes.
95. Guys seek for advice not from a guy but from a girl.
96. Girls are allowed to touch boys' things. Not their hair!
97. If a guy says you're beautiful, that guy likes you.
98. Guys hate girls who overreact.
99. Guys love you more than you love them if they are serious in your relationships.

I went to Seoul from saturday morning, and from my place it takes around 5 hours trip to Seoul. After meeting with my friend, i went to the concert location at evening. And i went there alone, because among my friends nobody besides me knows this band.
I arrived around 2 hours before the concert started. The attendants were about 1000 persons, almost filled the venue's capacity. They kept the balcony for VIP guests, where i spotted FT Island among them. My spot was in the backside due to my late decision to come to the concert. But it was actually not to far from the stage, maybe around 15 m and i still could clearly see them.
The concert finally begun at 7 pm, and i sorry i didnt remember the songs sequence. After 2 songs, ONE OK ROCK, finally greet and introduced their selves. What was funny is that they tried to greet in Korean language, but by reading the text from the monitor below the stage. Maybe because Korean is not easy for them, they read it awkwardly except Taka. He said in smooth Korean "Yesterday I came to Korea, ate Budejige and today i ate Sundubu, they were so delicious, hell yeah!". And people then laughed. But later on, most times Taka used Japanese, and sometimes english.
During the performance, all people were astonished. They jumped, rocked, and head-banged together. There was a funny moment when they played Jibun Rock during the encore. Taka felt they didnt play synchronously a while after they started. So he stopped and shouted "what the f**k" couple times while pointed to Ryota and Toru. After making apologize they re-started the play.
I enjoyed very much their live performance, but i have few notes.
The sound quality was mediocre because it was simply loud and not giving likewise 3D effect. The lighting was also standard and without large screen, probably due to the place was not too big.
The band members were not too interactive to audiences, maybe because language barrier. Lucky me, i can understand bit of Japanese.
Talking about the crowd, these people behaved too good for rock concert. They should be more naughty.
And yeah, i expected a bit of surprise like they would play "the beginning" 
or at least they played some variations of song like they did in Yokohoma live. But those were only hope.
Anyway, despite of those, i concluded their performance was awesome. It may sounds so subjective, but what else would you expect from a fan's opinion?
update:
playlist at the concert:
Lost and Found, Never Let This Go, Kaimu, Re:make, Seken Shirazu no Uchuu Hikoushi, Answer is Near, Mr Gendai Speaker, Liar, Wherever you are, C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h, Let's take it someday, No Scared, Koi no Aibou no Kokoro no Cupid, Kanzen Dreamer; Encore: Jibun Rock, Naihi Shinsho. · close

Most likely if you fall to his trap, he will ask you to transfer amount of money and give you false hope/promise. You may think, how on earth there would be someone who will believe that? but in fact, there are many people who become victim. And in worst case, not only risk in losing your wealth but also life.
