Asia broadcast 2/5. Yes, fans, this is unfortunately the end of the road for RAINY DAY’s second season. But we did get 52 episodes just like with Season 1 (it was 51 or 52 eps, I remember), and boy has it been a long ride.

And here’s another bit of interesting trivia for you—Episode 1 of this season premiered exactly one year ago almost to the day, Saturday, February 6, 2010  (remember how anxious we were?). So we, in effect, have had an entire year’s worth of RAINY DAY this go ’round, every single week (except for one that had to be skipped).

Thanks, JiHoon! Thanks, Mnet! 😀

Thanks, Terri, for filling in for me last week. *hugs* And now on with the show.

We pick up at ZEPP Osaka Hall where we left off last week, after “Don’t Stop” (which I LOVE and Terri can’t seem to stand, but whatever LOL) where Rain closes the song out as the Final Dancer In Fluorescent Orange, then takes the stage to catch his breath and hobnob for a moment with his ZEPPers. Baby Boy is dead tired (and of course he would be, putting on a concert tour, making it to umpteen photo shoots and umpteen interviews, AND filming a 20-episode drama all at the SAME time), but I think there was nowhere he would rather have been in that moment. A stage surrounded by fans is his pulse, his life blood, the thing that really makes his heart sing. He lives to see the pleasure on our upturned faces, and to catch the shouts that we throw him through the air. That’s not to say he loves acting and his other activities any less… he doesn’t. But immediate gratification is a powerful thing, and that’s what JiHoon gets with he’s with us in the flesh. Interaction. Reaction. Love in the air.

ROFL! Okay, there comes a point when self-camming gets too much of a workout—like when you amuse your own self by how well you can do nostril tricks. And ye old fish face. LMAO! I mean, what possesses the Man sometimes, I just don’t know. LOL! What a crack-up. Aaaaand… Asia is missing another big white teddy bear, as JiHoon has kidnapped yet another one to give to “His Girl.” (They’ve got to be on the endangered species list by now.) Awww… the fan is so cute, and she interacts with him so naturally. Good girl! Rain is hilarious. I really enjoyed this one. ♥

(Yeahhhh… let me just say this. For a “My Girl” in the U.S., there better NOT be a teddy bear in sight, yo. Best to drag one of those sexy sofas out like Usher, my Man, and do the thang. OR keep it up in the band, like you did for Legend of Rainism… because the sexy sofa just might unleash a stampede. Just sayin’.)

Wooooo-wooh!!! Haha! Give-it-up, give-it-up! Hip Song’s rocking hard tonight. Wah! And I love seeing the Women throwing Hip Song with the Men in the Crew. *high freakin’ five* And we hit a “Fresh Woman” note, which is oh so appropriate with the Women up there on stage.

Good grief, look at the density of that ZEPP crowd as our Mazinger superhero pauses for another sort of tête-à-tête with his “dates” for the night. Ahhhh… the “No Chocolate” conversation LOL! (he was kidding about the diabetes, please don’t freak the heck out) And boy does he continue to lay the the charm on thick. “I love you, I love you. I love you. I love you!” *heart symbol* “I love you.” Here, let me let this girl say something…

And some English! “—get married?”  “I’m sorry?”  “She said when are you going to get married?”  “Married?”  *kehhhhhh* (thinking)  “Right now.”  *heart symbol* ROFL!! LMAO Well that started up a whole world of trouble for him, didn’t it? Let’s move right along to the next song, JiHoon, which happens to be…

“Love Song” …in Japanese, with rolling abs. A deadly combination. Oh, my JESUS. ♥ ♥ ♥

Ah, looks like we’re bringing it on home with encore footage compiled to “Instead of Saying Goodbye” and the big balloon drop. And Japanese subtitles that seem to announce the end of Season 2.

I have really enjoyed this season to the fullest, and I hope you all have too.

Thanks, JiHoon, for keeping us so close to you in 2010. It’s truly been a pleasure, and we hope for more of the same in 2011. Here’s to a future RAINY DAY Season 3! Fighting!
