[6.30.2010] Love concert in Fukuoka and Osaka from the eyes of a New York Cloud

Love Concert in Fukuoka and Osaka unforgettable parts for me:
Zepp Fukuoka – The birthday cake battle in Fukuoka was unforgettable. The cake was prepared by Cloud Fanclub. Cutting cake part was the last part. All dancers and Baekga were invited on stage. After Rain made the birthday wish, one dancer started the cake battle. Haha, the scene was so funny! Anyway, the cakes and cream were throwing here and there. Suddenly, one dancer (I think Song Hong Shi) was holding the cake and pushed Rain’s head into the cake, and then others started to use cake cream to do facial treatment for our prince—haha. After all, Rain’s face was full of cream; he held still and asked someone to give him towel to swipe cream off.
Later, he asked camera lady to take pictures for him and all dancers. Then, he turned around; audiences become the background and [he] took pictures again. The final part was dance off. The strong beat dance music started, Rain asked dancers one by one, group by group, danced off on stage. Dance movement like flip over, Baekga did one arm hold up side down body position. Rain looked so concern when Baekga did this move on stage. Baekga received brain surgery around 6-7 months ago. He looked fully recovered. Thanks Lord!
Zepp Osaka – The MY GIRL part, Rain used the camera to scan over fans as previous Love concert. Then he chatted with one fan on the first row. She was a mother and came with her daughter (I think 24 years ago). He decided to select that mother fan and sang MY GIRL for her. The 1st Osaka night, he picked a teenager fan (16 years). Mother fan was so happy, Rain held her hand and walked on the 2nd level, and placed her on the chair. (Cuckoo guess Rain probably didn’t want us to feel jealous, he intentionally selected a mother fans, and he believed it was safe but he didn’t expect mother was also an aggressive fans as well–hahaha). Mother fan kept using her handkerchief to swipe his sweat, front head, face, front and back of his upper body…haha, Rain felt so embarrassed and kept laughing and called Mother (in Japanese). But mother didn’t stop moving her hands over his body. Rain couldn’t stop laughing or singing. He was so smart. He gave a bunch of flower and doll polar bear to her. (So, she had no hands to play around).
In 2 night Osaka Love Concert, Rain danced excellent at the final part dance battle. I extremely enjoyed his powerful jumped and kicked. He danced and sang with Baekga for “Instead of Saying Goodbye.” On the 2nd night, our prince said his zipper of pant was broken, so a jacket tied around his waist to cover (but I doubted if it is truth or he tried to joke fans–haha). When he sang Sept 12, he sat on the left and right corner steel bars on 2nd level stage or sometimes on the staircase between main and 2nd level. The atmosphere was so romantic.
There was a technical problem, Hip Song couldn’t run successfully until the 3rd time. Or, this is a plan of our naughty prince, it was so cute seeing him to make mistakes and did 3 times or more. The first night he wore blue and the second night was orange costumes. During Hip Song, he kept playing with other dancers. One female dancer gave me a naughty face, our little prince could hold to smile. Captain and Song gave him a push, he laughed again.
All these scenes made me feel warm; just want to say You must live happily! Stay healthy!
See you in Nagoya!

For Legend of Rainism Yoyogi (this past April), they were $129. to around $200. For the Dream Concert in May, those tickets were less than $5. The Love Tour at Saitama Super Arena coming up in July will be about $129. as well.
I think I remember Terri telling me that regular LoR Vegas tickets were around $125., but as we didn’t go, I’m not sure. Does anyone else recall Rain show ticket prices either here or abroad?
