Asia broadcast 4/9. We continue on from where we left off last week—at Sun Music Studio, rehearsing for Rain’s ADIEU! 2010 concert in Seoul.

It’s a typical day in the studio—if any day with JiHoon could be called typical, that is, and “You” is being fine-tuned by the Man when all of a sudden we get to see him launch into an almost a capella intro to “Not A Single Day/Harudo” … Doesn’t matter how many songs you’ve heard Rain sing over the course of your own personal fan journey or how many times—the sound is simply mesmerizing regardless, rich and hypnotic, even during a simple rehearsal. How does he open his mouth and produce such beauty on the ears? And is it just me or does the sound get even more rich as he transitions into grown-manhood?

Awww.  Mr. Perfection. He’s going to do it as many times as it takes to get it right for his fans. ♥ I hope someone was taking plenty of notes because The Man was being as detailed as all get-out. He knew exactly what he wanted when, where, why, and how.

(Gori is still teasing me with that awesome Warhol t-shirt. It would serve him right if I just snatched it off of him and went about my business.)

OMG! *gasp* It’s “One” in studio. “One” in studio, y’all! Pop it, Rain. Back him up, Men! You know this has got to be the hottest version of Musical Chairs on the planet. Aiiiigoooooo. Of course, they try a couple of similar intros. And do we care which one they eventually picked? That would be a hell-to-tha-naw. (NO.) Heh. You’ve got to grin at those little mini-grinds they did, being in polite company and all. 🙂

Hongshi was in rare form, yo. LOL! Dude looked like he was at a rodeo come grind-time (ride’em cowboy), not to mention the Yawnnn… hyung’s so tired, I’ve gotta stretch really big, all the way over into Hoon’s face incident. And of course that could not stand, no one is allowed to usurp Rain’s jokester title under any circumstances, and so he goes around the room reclaiming it. Haha. (Huh… was he singing with a Southern twang just then? “I’m yo maaa-yan, yeur mah guu-ral…” And did he almost miss the chair and land on his @ss? ROFL! )

Okay, by a show of hands… who wouldn’t mind Rain teaching them the choreography for “One”? (don’t anyone dislocate their shoulder throwing that hand up, now)

And then it’s time to rehearse “Escaping the Sun”… if people will lower their conversations and stop cutting into his concentration. How rude. 😦 Things do get going after it’s quieter, we get a taste of the song beautifully retooled for the changes in Rain’s voice, and then… we’re out! Until next week!

Terrific episode. Enjoy!

0:53 Rain : Hyung! I’ll sing this song (Not a single Day) to just the background music soon after I say, “You know this song?”

 

1:34 Rain : Let me do it once more.

 

1:41~2:01 Rain : Please turn on the background music while I make a comment. “Hi, everyone. Are you fine? Nice to meet you. Thank you for coming to my Adieu concert. You know this song?”

 

3:10 Rain : At this very moment, my chair has to come out.

 

3:20~3:56 Rain : At this point, the rhythmical beat of the drum has to be played. When the piano is played, the chair is already supposed to come out.

 

8:23 Rain : What’s the next?

Staff : In the first part of the show, there is your comment, but in the second, there is a countdown.

8:40 Rain : I’ll make a comment, so please turn on the background music.

 

8:45~9:12 Rain : Are you now recording this?

Recordist : Yes.

Rain : The edited soundtrack will be sent to them tomorrow? I think the work is coming along very well, thanks to the recordist. The recording is going on, right? If the soundtrack hadn’t been recorded, I’d have started again from the beginning.

Dancer : It could have been a disaster !

 

Rain : I’m doing it once because of the recordist.

9:15 Rain : Let’s try to do it anyway. (He makes a comment before ‘How to Avoid the Sun’) There is one of my favorite songs. it is ‘How to Avoid the Sun’
