So, me posting Rain’s “Move On” music video and dedicating it to Lotte Duty Free would be jumping the gun, then? *confused* Okay. *shrug*

Depending on how many Rain concerts you’ve watched over the years, fans, you’ve seen all kinds of glow sticks and light signs and Rain LED signs waving in the darkness in an endless sea.

Now, it’s a brand new era. Rain has added another TIME notch onto his belt and is transitioning into new maturity. And Benamoo, Rain’s super fan club/cafe in South Korea and our sisters in Rain, are updating their cheering tool of choice and making it available to any fan across the world who’d like to have one.

Oh, how cute is that? Heart “R”.

Way to go, Benamoo. We hope to see your new signs waving at BEST Macao! 😀

There’s only one thing to say about this clip. And that is…

Jung JiHoon is a man of compassion and character. That is why we are his Clouds. Point blank period.

I can just imagine what was going through his mind during this experience (and you know what I’m talking about). It had to have been so difficult for him, even after it was over and he was on his way to wherever… Oh… *shaking my head, speechless* ♥

(Brief English summary by rain bird @rain-eu.)

Actor ‘Aun Joo Won’ appeared on SBS TV’s entertainment program ‘Strong Heart’ aired on 10 May, 2011 and said about Rain’s good deed.

Actor ‘Aun Joo Won’ said as :

About 4 years ago, actor ‘Yun Kye Sahng’, Rain, and I were vacationing at Chungpyung resort at that time when Rain came back home after wrapping his movie Ninja Assassin.

On our way back home after our vacation, we found a woman lying unconscious on the shoulder of the highway while a man who seemed like her husband was pulling over. This made her husband so embarrassed that he just stood there without knowing what to do. We later found out she had diabetes.

We instantly stopped on the hard shoulder and called an ambulance in that confusing situation.

While we were waiting for the emergency crew, Rain protected the patient against obstruction of the airway, splashing her hair with mineral water, and then shouted at passing cars and stopped cars to ask the drivers for some chocolates. Rain knew that chocolate can be necessary for some diabetics in an emergency.

While we were helping Rain figure out the quick fix, she was roused from the swoon, and then ambulance arrived and brought her to the hospital.

I wanted to describe to people how circumstances were at that time, how Rain did such a good thing for the patient and showed us what to do in case of an emergency, albeit belated.

As aired on May 9. Looks like the new album has been pushed back some months, and that’s all right by me. I’d rather it be released RIGHT than him rushing it and it not be up to par as a result. This is his career we’re talking about, and he’s got to be careful.

Please enjoy this, fans. 🙂

ทันข่าวบันเทิง 09.05.54 Part 02. (Credit: ehot News / ehotnews @YT)

(brief English translation by rain bird @rain-eu.)

0:50~1:02
Rain : For the past four years, I’ve been doing so many things as a singer and actor, releasing my albums, acting in Hollywood, shooting a drama, etc.

1:10~1:13
Rain : It will be an eco-friendly and more upgraded concert, compared to what it used to be.

1:39~1:55
Rain : I’ve started my concert after a preparation period of about a six-month. There’ll be a special laser show during this concert, and this was especially a time consuming job.

2:12~2:34
Rain : Global warming has caused changes in climate worldwide. In fact, there are many things you can do to preserve the environment. Even planting and looking after a tree can be an effective way of protect the environment.

2:43~3:03
Rain : My new album will probably be released in September or October of this year. I’ve currently been filming a movie, and there are lots of surprises in store for my fans looking forward to me working as a singer and actor.

By the way, that green laser dance break turned out pretty darned cool!

All of that green laser practice that Rain was having fun with during the last 40 seconds of RAINY DAY Season 3, episode 3, was time well spent, in my opinion. The results (the laser dance break that he inserted at the very end of “Rainism” for ADIEU! 2010 and BEST Rain 2011) look pretty spectacular and add a surprise to a song that he’s done the same way for a long time. What a s-w-e-e-t idea.

Actor ‘Kim Sung Soo’ said about the most memorable moment while shooting “Flight: Close to the Sun” starring Rain. (old title : Red Muffler)

Actor ‘Kim Sung Soo’ almost fell into a faint while doing the 9G acceleration drill, a training program which is even very difficult for skilled pilots to complete, whereas Rain passed the drill. But, Rain wasn’t able to stretch out his toes after a day of going through the hard training.

Asia broadcast 5/7.

Oh! As I hit “play”, we pick right up where we left off last week—in the middle of the Presto-Change-o-Clothing Teaseroo. Works for me. Let us continue to watch how the ADIEU! 2010 with Rain concerts, that took place this past New Year’s Eve, came to be.

(Hair rehearsal! The Hair contracted with J.Tune is also being tested. Sling it around, JiHoon. Make it bounce. There you go. ♥)

First up is working out the details for “I Do”— the two chairs being set up at center stage are a dead giveaway. As Rain strolls around half-singing, casually taking care of whatever issue and/or multitasking, it seems that he’s decided to take it easy (after all, he’s done this song and all his others a ga-trillion times and could do them in REM sleep). But we know better, don’t we, fans? We know that, in actuality, Rain’s sharp senses and mind are trained on every single thing that’s going on around him, even when it looks like he’s not paying attention, right? In fact, I dare say that because he’s not singing here, his mind is seriously honed in on something, listening to it, feeling it, and if whatever it is hits him wrong at any moment, we’ll know. Because he’ll say something. And it will be fixed.

Oh ho. Two seats become one, so this must be where “My Girl” comes in. Yep—here comes the self-cam/Rain-fancams-the-fans section… haha. That was one of the cutest parts of the Rain Loves ZEPP tour, wasn’t it? 🙂

Hoookayy… so, either someone made a quick run out to the nearest HMart, or— LOL what’s up with the shopping cart, folks? The little bitty bear could be a stand-in for the actual whopping big bear that gets given away, but… The. Shopping. Cart? Rain is like, Duhhhh for real?? keke. SungTak and Company are probably just trying to get the Man to smile and loosen up a bit, and I don’t blame them. He seems awfully preoccupied… probably worried about ADIEU going off without a hitch.

I’m used to seeing SungTak hyung “all up in the KoolAid” (because let’s face it, he’s a lot more than a dancer when it come to Rain) but in this episode he seems even more involved, and I’m glad. I’m really glad that Rain has him for help, for assurance, and just to bounce ideas off of anytime, anywhere.

Aaaah. The piano intro for “Love Is” is lovely. And before long, it’s time for a retro-fitted, Discoed-down “Fresh Woman” rehearsal with “left-side”, “right-side”, and roller skates… roller skates.

With that, we’re out for this week! I’ll see if a translation has come down the pike… See you all next time. 😀
