The Yellow Ribbon for Rain Brigade is still growing. (HUGE thanks to the suave SooBong for continuing to sport a Cloud USA Yellow Ribbon For Rain on his Twitter in support of his little brother in the military. That’s how you do it kostyle! ♥) Our dream of a stronger foundation of support for JiHoon is coming true. His dream of true world stardom that opens the door for those who come after him is at hand. Let’s keep on keeping on!
You can see JiHoon’s first letter to his Clouds and fans HERE, in our previous post. There are two options for sending snail-mail to JiHoon presently. For information on where to send handwritten cards and letters to him, please see our previous post HERE (military). For cards, letters, and gifts, do see our post HERE (office admin).
» Office admin Rainy Entertainment has a brand new Twitter.
» JiHoon was a guest on DJ radiojumam’s show on 96.7 Friends FM radio on Monday. He has officially reached the 6-month mark in his mandatory military duties. Oh, halleluia!

HEADS UP! Cloud USA will be mobile later on this week, as we will be getting our action-on at ActionFest 2012 in Asheville, North Carolina. More on that later!
SONG OF THE WEEK: “Same” (똑같아 / pronounced “ttoh-ggah-tah”), Track #4 on Rain’s Back To The Basic mini-album (2010). Rain and C-Luv put this little ditty together, and I feel that it should be more popular than it is. It’s a really cute song with a really cute vibe. If you’d like to take a look at the lyrics, » check out this video on YouTube. People’s hearts are originally the same like this, yes the hearts that love are all the same…

Just bear in mind that those nooks and crannies have lots more nooks and crannies of their own. And that there is more to come. So have fun. 🙂

For Cloud USA’ers that are going to be in S Korea next month, sweet soul R & B performer Eric Benet will be in Seoul on 5/19 @ Olympic Park and in Busan on 5/20 @ MBC Art Hall.
I’ve seen him in concert and his voice is smooth as silk!

Thanks, Vicki, for letting us know!
Hopefully, one of our Clouds in Korea can make it to his concert.

This is one of my absolutely favorite songs. I would have his playlist playing at night as I went to sleep and this song always seemed to creep into my head. There are no words to describe how much I love this song. I wish I had an english translation to it, but then I kinda don’t because there is not one thing I would change about it. I NEVER get tired of hearing it, it is as beautiful to me as it was the first time and will always be. This song is priceless. SAME…. yes.

I loved Same from the moment I heard it.
