Wheesung is awesome <3 Never get tired of listening to him belt out some songs XD Though, at the moment, I'm back in Fly to the Sky mode. Their 6th album is awesome. Those two never let me down ^^ It still amazes me how they get even better with each new album. I would sell my soul to see those two live @_@ Haha XD

Sorry I have none. I didn't take my camera since I thought we weren't allow to. But Im still happy I went. Im in so much pain My Throat, chest, ears, and Head is hurting. I was sitting close the music was soo loud it took a tone on my head and ears. But I could tell you one thing when he first came out everyone got HYPE. And when he started to sing It's Raining I think that is when I lost my voice Every was standing and screaming "Rain I love you" or "Go Rain Go Rain." XD I was soo funny because even older like in thier 30's - 40's were like "Marry Me Rain." I was kinda funny to me.



The Concert was good and Rain was acting soo Cocky when he danced. But that just drove the females wild. Rain was soo tired you could here him breathing on the Mic I thought it was kinda cute. The most exciting parts to was when he sung It's Raining, Song for his mother, and the water scence. Rain ripped his shirt off and had water poaring on him like Rain His body looked sooo HOT! And everyone was Screaming including me. He let it go on for a while too so we all got to watch which was like forever. XD



Now when he sung it's raining everyone was on their feet screaming "GO RAIN GO RAIN." or Chanting his real name. I think that was when I lost my Voice since I was screaming as well. He danced very well an hyped of everyone I even seen Guys Chanting and Screaming. I never seen so much glow stick and that korean rain thing I my life. I guess that was suppose to be the Signature song. After it was over people were chanting "Sad Tango" but he didn't preform it.



Then there was a time when he had to look at the moniter and see all the countries he went to do tours I was sorta like Rep where your from to me. They was people was cheering I mean. Japan, Korea, China, Taiwan and NYC. Apparently Korea had the most Cheers til they Showed Taiwan. Last was NYC and everyone went NUTS XD.



As for his mother..... It had me soo broken up and I couldn't stop crying. He decided to talk about how he misses her and he thinks she is watching over him. (If You Don't Know Rain's Mother Died) Afterward he sung a song for her then paused for a minute or two. I assumed a tear fell because put his head down and pulled he hat down more. I was fine til I saw the message on the screen. I can't quote it but it went something like this. "Rain was asked if we could use his mother's picture in the backround for this song.................But Rain sighed and replied.................. I have no pictures of my mother since our house burned down years ago. I only have a picture of her in my heart" I felt soo bad after seeing that and just cried for him.



What PISSED me off was that the people who worked at the Garden was talking about his english. They were saying things like "Why even try he sounds stupid" and "If you don't know it stick with your own language." some just laughed when he spoke. I said "Atleast he is even trying" and some Korean Women cursed them out.



**edit:

If you want to know more I will be glad to tell



P Diddy(Puffy Daddy/Puffy) Was there as well as Jojo They were Guest stars. Diddy just came out the say that he admired what was going on and it into Asian music/culture. He also hopes for it to break out more in the U.S.A and it can start with the us. He wil try to expose it more and he just hired Rain as a model for his clothing line. Im not sure if Rain is going to model Bad Boy or Sean John. But Diddy said Rain is the first and only asian model on his line.



For those who don't know Bad Boy is the urban line and Sean John was changed to sweaters and etc.

their was alot of press. I remember being asked to take many photo's and lots of others. Then went around to people video taping them and etc.


I posted about the Concert in the Korean Music thread.

It was great! Akurei and I saw it the same night -- it was just like Akurei said. The theatre was really intimate, so even though I was way back in the 2nd to last row, I had a really good view. The show was great -- couldn't believe P Diddy was there (I'm prety sure he said Bi will be modeling for the Sean John line). And Jojo was adorable. I'm pretty sure she said something about she and Bi working together this year -- maybe a duet? Between what Diddy, Jojo, and JYP (Bi's producer, who also performed and emceed a lot during the show) said, I have a feeling he's gonna try to release an album in America soon. My friend and I got stopped by a woman from Taiwan after the show, some 60-year old fan, and she said she was certain he is releasing an English album. I myself was very surprised to hear him speak so much English during the show. It sounded really good, too; it annoys me to hear how the MSG people were talking of him, but they were really rude in general. After the show, my friend and I got stopped in the lobby by the camera crew and reporter from MBC and got interviewed for Korean TV! It was so awesome. I took 10 or so photos, and I'm having them developed this weekend. I'll post them when I get them back!

good. I can show my mommy

[AyuGAME]

wow..he was pretty famous..i don't like him at all
i think ayu can make a concert outside japan for sure..like in taiwan, Korea, australia, hongkong, malaysia, singapore, bangkok and my country indonesia. and US for sure..but i don't know she didn't do it =/

[midnightblues]

wa~ i nearly cried when I read the part about his mom....wad a nice guy
it's no wonder we love him so much.

[Nauxus]

Thanks for that Akurei ^^ I heard about the P. Diddy and Jojo stuff from soompi...But no one really went into detail about the show...They just kinda posted crazy stuff like 'OMG hE wuz soOOoOoooo HOT a;lskdjf;asldkf' ^^;;;;;

Awww...He cried? T.T It's sweet that he sang a song for his mom *^^*

Bah...I hate when people make fun of his English. I think his English is great >.< Well, what I've heard of it, anyway...Hehe. And another thing that ticks me off a bit is that Bi is the first and only Asian model for Diddy's clothing line. And how long has it been around? That doesn't seem right to me...-.-

I'm gonna stop now because I think I'm just babbling XD

[MsMiyabi]

Sean John has been around since 1999. And the girl on Soompi who said she went on stage Im having trouble believing her and her friend. I mean if he took photos of him during the concert then when you went on stage wouldn't your friend take photos of you them? Since they clam it you know what I mean. I wont believe til I see more photo's of her.

[HvnSntGurl]

Ya'll make me wish I could go. I would have loved to see it. It's so sad he has no picture of his mom. It makes me feel bad that I rarely look at pictures of my dad. I can't wait to see him in some Sean John ads. I'll be looking out for those. I hope he and Jojo have a duet. There voices would go so well together.

Rain did 2 concerts in Japan and sold out both.

As for Sean John here is a idea of what Rain might be wearing.

[ayuayu]

I was just wondering but did anyone else see the Rain special in New York on MTVChi?! I was sooooooo~ excited! He performed in that place where they do TRL and they said that he was the first asian to perform in Madison Square Garden! I wish i was in NY for that T_T *poo~ I think the best thing is that he is gonna try his luck in the US. They said that at his last performance p.diddy, jojo, and omarion showed up and are supporting him. Omarion even came up during the show and called Bi his "brotha from anotha motha" haha ;p n they mentioned that they would hav surprises for us in the near future! maybe a collaboration?! *uuuuuu ^_____________________^ yay
