Asia broadcast, 5/28. Cue dread pirate/patriotic/asiad theme… Cue hip hop/down with O.P.P. sub-theme… and let’s get started!

We’re still rehearsing for Rain’s ADIEU! 2010 New Year’s Eve show, but we’ve changed locations. We’ve seen Sun Music Studio, and the concert venue stage, and now we’re in what looks like a gymnasium. It’s giving me flashbacks to senior high, for real. Well, blow me down. Right off the bat, we have the Man playin’ (but not slayin’… sorry, Rain *grin*) on one of those fancy-shmancy TouchPads, as one of the Crew is zooming about on roller skates… roller skates. Looks like fun—I wouldn’t mind giving that a try myself (the Touchpad, I’ve got the skating down).

Jump, jump! in a really fly parka. Nice look, 비! Is it me, or is Rain just cute as all get-out here? He’s just… CUTE. It must be cold as heck in there, because everybody is bundled up like they’re on a frozen tundra. Granted, this is happening between Christmas and December 31, so I expect it to be that cold outside… but inside? *shrug* Maybe it’s necessary for the equipment this go-round. Maybe this is a last-minute location and there was no time to heat the building before they got there. Maybe there was no heat in the budget. Whatever. No one looks particularly pained about it, so it’s all good.

And so, everyone takes it all from the top one more time, in anticipation of having everything dead-on perfect for ADIEU. Watch Rain as he works straight through the concert rundown, and please tell me, if you can, how in the world a Man all zipped up in a big @ss coat can still make his movements sharper than a tack? How? In Rain’s own famous words, it’s amazing.

Ah, and we get to see that cool head-banging break that comes right before “Touch Ya.” 😀

“You… you make me crazy… Round two—” Oh CRAP, my throne’s way the hell up THERE! *run, run, run, run, collapse in chair* ROFLMAO

Okay, that “Harudo” extreme close-up at minute marker 7:42 just about killed me. Wahhh. He’s finally getting a bit warm from all that jumping around and the parka comes off. LOVE that black sweater! Oh—the black sweater comes off too… LOVE that Hollister Cali shirt. Such a fashion plate, even during rehearsals, aren’t you, Hoonie?

(As you can see, this is a straight run-through that doesn’t stop for anything, even when he almost destroys a microphone. The thing was only half-working anyway.)

Goodness. Hollister shirts and Rain chest-pumps go together like bacon and eggs, yo. Nice. (Y’all know I just about passed out laughing when I saw that he AND the Hollister dog were identical poodle-heads. I mean what were the odds of that. ♥♥)

The countdown clock says Happy New Year!, Rain does some silly foot-shuffling in celebration, flashes that gorgeous smile, makes a funny, and we are out of there until next week. See you then, fans! 🙂
