Asia broadcast 8/28.  Continuation from last week… Rain runs his rehearsal at ZEPP Tokyo Hall, and he means business.

First it’s all about getting the It’s Raining performance tightened up and completely ready.  I do so love having that live mic, and catching Rain going in and out of song at a whim.  His voice is so beautiful, even when he’s only rehearsing and paying half-attention to some other detail.  Mm.

And then we move on to— oh, excuse me!  Oh, oh, oh!  That sexy back!  And sexy backside!  Nice going, camera man.  *clearing throat* Er, as I was saying… and then we move on to the fine-tuning of Handshake, that beautifully magnificent song, as well as Escaping The Sun.  Sing it, Rain!

LOL! Okay, we’ve seen Ji-Hoon “accidentally on purpose” poke himself in the eye with his sunglasses many times for the camera, during the Love Story era in particular.  So when it appeared that he truly accidentally did it here, the look of disbelief on his face cracked me up.  He is freakin’ hilarious.

Have much fun with these visuals, Clouds. — Stephe ^@@^

Hey! (his assistants) you should have put a mike in here.

1:07
Once again.

1:20
Rainism music has to be played soon after its prelude.  There shouldn’t be any gap between the beginning of Rainism music and its prelude.

1:40
Yes, well exactly!

1:45
You can do it like this.

1:46~1:58
My stand mike was suppose to be up on the upper stage by now.  Please play the last part of ‘It’s Raining’.

2:14~2:34
The stand mike should be going up while the lights go out.

2:42~
Please play the music where ‘Stop’ comes out.

4:23
Female dancers should go up to the next level.

4:51
I’ll rise to my feet.

5:01~5:07
I’ll climb the stairs during the last phase, taking it easy.  I’ll cue the director where I’m supposed to climb the upper stage.

0:01~0:16
My stand mike was supposed to be up on the upper stage by now.  Hyung! (director), please go ahead without paying attention to me.

0:21~0:22
Please mark this spot with blue tape so I can check it out again.  Also, somebody should tell me not to come here just below this spot when I climb up here.

0:44~0:55
Please cue me soon after the lights go out.  I’ll go to the back when the lights are ready.  Please play the music when I raise my hand in this way.

1:41
There is a lyric that goes, ‘You Know’, I’ll keep using the hand mike until that part.

1:57~2:32
I need the interpreter’s help.  He has to interpret for the audience whenever I speak Korean during the concert.  Please bring him a hand mike.  This is when the interpreter begins to interpret, and he should keep on waiting for a chance to interpret.

2:41~3;14
” ‘Love’ is like that. I’m doing my best although I’m not very good at Japanese.  I’m sure you know what I’m going to sing next time.” (where interpretation is needed)  Please play the music right when I wear sunglasses after finishing speaking.

3:17~3:35
Good job! Thanks a million.  That’s the shots.  If you could do that again tomorrow, I’d appreciate it.

Would you mind seeing what we’re doing? (to other staffs looking at the rehearsal)

Do you think I’ve put you in an awkward position? (The staffs : No, not at all.)
