I called the Love Tour “Close Encounter of the Rain Kind”, twisting the name of a movie. Thanks to my friend who acted as my personal translator, I was able to follow the conversations of our prince tonight, and enjoyed a very sweet, memorable Rain encounter indeed.
Our prince was in talk mood and play mood tonight. His performance was top class. I don’t need to repeat that. I would just capture what he said and some funny scenes. Please excuse me if the sequence was not in exact order.
Prince Rain started by saying that he had held 7 concerts (got ya prince, should be 8) and only Sapporo was left. He thanked the fans who followed him for the tour. Instead of age statistics, he asked fans who were from Sendai to put up their hands, then Tokyo. He then asked who was from Saitama! And he smiled with almost disbelief to see fans putting up their hands. As he walked along the stage he saw my light board and said “Ar, Hong Kong.” Many fans called from the floor “Osaka”, so our prince greeted them in soft Japanese way “Ah, Osaka, Osaka.” Someone must have called out “Hawaii” as I heard our prince repeating that. I shouted with my friend “Taiwan.” Diversified countries, diversified age groups, such was the magic power of our prince!
Our poor prince said he hadn’t tasted the ramen in Sendai yet. At about 5:30 am this morning he felt an earthquake, and he shook his body to demonstrate the effect of the quake. He then asked fans in which country they had felt earthquake before. Somebody mentioned Kobe, and my friend mentioned Taiwan. I tried to ask (had to shout) our prince if he was scared. He did not hear me, but he continued to say (jokingly) that he was frightened that he might end in Sendai. He still had so many things to do: album, CF, drama, movies, and he still wanted to eat a lot of good food!
For “My Girl,” again our prince wanted to choose someone from the second level, but after zooming for a while he decided to choose an 11 year girl on the first row on the floor. At the end of the song, the girl asked him to sign on the white teddy bear toy. I didn’t know what our prince had written, but the white bear had quite a lot of black marks on its head and back, much more than just a name.
I could not remember which songs now, but our playful prince decided to change his voice. He would sing one line in his usual gentle and sweet voice, and then the next line he changed to a deliberately low, flat voice. He clearly enjoyed this new talent and creativity, and it proved to be very entertaining and fun. He was happy, we were happier.
And then we had a really long talk. Our prince thanked us for our love and support. He was very sincere. He told us that he had many dreams and thanks to us, all his dreams had come true. He said he liked to plan his dreams as he went to bed. When he just debuted, all he dreamt was to be able to release an album. When that dream was realized, he dreamt of winning an award. After the award, he dreamt of movie, and then a movie award. He thanked us again for making him realize his dream with the MTV award. He was now dreaming to have a concert at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and in the U.S.A. [Yes, my US sisters, let us all give a collective scream! 😀 — Stephe ^@@^] He joked to us that it was OK if we did not buy ticket for those concerts. When we pretend to disagree and gave him a thumbs down, he pretended to be misunderstood and hurt and asked, “What do you want me to do? I know the ticket will be expensive, and I don’t want you to spend too much money!” Oh dear prince, you certainly have us totally in your hands!
Prince Rain also mentioned that even if he felt weak, as soon as he was on the stage he was full of energy. Then he mentioned about losing weight, and I could not remember how and why, he showed us that he had a belly by trying very hard to form a round belly and held it for a while.
Some fan gave our prince a paper fan. He looked at it. Asked jokingly if it was expensive. When the answer was yes, he quickly put the fan inside the pocket of his pants.
Another fan gave him a very cute hair band. He put it on, looked at himself at the screen, and laughed. He was so cute and adorable with the hair band.
He then said we could ask him questions.
A fan asked if he would hold a concert in Korea. Prince Rain explained that he was busy with the shooting of the drama, but perhaps at the end of the year that might be possible. I asked “What about Hong Kong?” He heard me this time and said “Hong Kong?” I believed he said he had plans to have concerts in China, and that he would travel to many places in Asia.
Someone asked if there would be a DVD for his love tour. His reply was that he was uncertain about this!!
Another fan asked if he would sing “Love Song” in Korean at the concert instead of Japanese. At first our prince said the decision was made by the producer. He then took the opportunity to ask us to thank his production team. After second thought he commented that perhaps he could sing “Love Song” once in Korean and once in Japanese. Loud cheers roared from the floor.
Even louder cheers when our prince indeed sang the song in Korean, followed by Japanese! Again he has us in his hands!
Baekga appeared for the encore “Instead of Saying Goodbye.” They cheered for each other to perform a solo dance. He blew us a big kiss before he disappeared.
