SONG OF THE WEEK: “You”, Track 7 on his Vol. 5 album Rainism (2008), the song that South Korea banned back then because they couldn’t handle what the brotha was trying to say (» see our Lyrics Page 4 HERE and scroll down). But that was okay because China, Japan, and the rest of Asia certainly didn’t mind it. Here is an extended version performed at Rain’s SixToFive Fashion Concert stop in Hong Kong.

Rain is Eternal. Where clouds stay gathered, rain will always come. It is inevitable.

Ah ha ha ha!

Psy’s new music video, “Gentleman” got banned from KBS because he “abused public property.” LOL. In the video he kicks a traffic cone.

So funny. I still remember when Rain’s “Love Song” MV got banned because he ran down a street in “flagrant disregard of traffic” or something like that.

LOL. So moronic.

- That’s funny, I thought Korean media was the morality police. I’ve seen the new video once and it seems to be fraught (I like that word) with innuendos and such. So the video being banned for public property abuse of a traffic cone, seems so silly. If they saw all the graffiti laden buildings over here they’d pass out. LOL!

  - Yeah, that too, BiAlamode. Videos and music are just as likely to be slapped down due to supposed immorality too. Like Rain’s Rainism CD which dared to mention his magic stick. Gosh. He was just talking about his magic cane. *wink, wink*
    
    Lee Hyori came out with a music vidio about the same time that Rain came out with his “Love Song”, and her MV was banned too. All because she got into a truck and didn’t put her seatbelt on. LOL. Silly Korean government-owned television network.

FYI:

I and other bloggers on WordPress have complained to WP about the HIDEOUS blue eBay ads that are now covering up some of the content of videos embedded from YouTube.

WordPress says that it is something they are testing out for running ads in “sensible, limited places”, and bloggers are like, “Nice try, you’re covering up CONTENT.”

And so, we’ll see how this turns out. They need to take that crap down and try something else. THAT is unacceptable.

Just letting y’all know.

Rain must be really happy with this trip!! The possibility to know the Obamas and to get out of Korea for a while, humm, hell yeah! Kekekeke I hope he can make the trip and enjoy it. Love the pictures, as always he looks awesome! The video is great, love the beat of this song and the fact that Rain is taking a long, hard look to every model in that show! Lol!!! ^.^

- BiAlamode,
  
  It’s true (unless things change, of course), but we just heard the news and haven’t had time to post about it.
  
  And we’re not all that sure about all of the details yet. You know us, we like to wait for all of the facts before we spout off.

- I saw that earlier! Boy, is THAT exciting! If it is actually going to happen, Rain will be able to fulfill his wish of meeting the Obama’s. I was just excited to be in DC at the inauguration, so I can just imagine the vibe of getting to greet them on a personal level. Wow……..

- Yep, we show where you subscribed over two years ago, and also about half an hour ago. So no, there shouldn’t be a reason why you haven’t gotten any thread emails.
  
  Although I will say that we’ve had to complain to WordPress (our host) several times in the past because of some subscribers disappearing here and there without unsubscribing themselves. I’ve never been satisfied with their answers about it… It’s quite irritating.
