Rain's video message during one of the bridges in his Saitama Arena Love concert on Jul.18, 2010

<Rain's voice>

I see my own image (in the mirror) with my stage clothes on before going on stage.

I ask myself whether I'll try to do my best before going on stage, whether I'm enjoying this moment when I've hit this stage.

I'll remember each of the crystallization of my hard work from head to toe before going up on this stage.

I'll try not to become lazy and not to flatter myself in order to keep all your support and love I received in my heart.

I'll never forget such tension on my first debut stage, so the moment we met first should never be forgotten now.

Do you happen to know the number of people gathered on the day we first met?

Cable TV tvN's 'Real Story' - One foreign new singer's comment about Rain'

Why have foreign born members of idol groups chosen Korea?

Foreigners who try to make their dreams come true in Korea that's not theirs.

- Japanese 'Kenske' (facing is debut as a singer) -

"Dongbangsinki, Boa, Big Bang, etc. are very popular in Japan.

But Rain has been my role model.

He is great, so I wish to be like him."

RAIN LOVE TOUR 2010 in japan fashionTVｰ1

]

1:21~1:26

I've been controling my condition for my concert.

I had a nice dream last night.

1:31~1:52

At that time when my hollywood movei was filmed on location in Europe, smokey eyes makeup was in fashion there. I tried to apply its unique and androgynous image into my album jacket, wearing false eyelashes that are long.

1:56~2:15

I chose small concert venues, because I wanted to come to my fans myself.

I'm thinking I'll perform as if I date with my best friends.

2:16~2:35

Saitama concert may be a splendid and variety show on a large scale like before.

6:14~6:16

Hello, everyone. This is Rain.

6:28~6:59

Up until earlier this year, I had showed a concert which has a dazzling array of performing, but I wanted to meet my fans on a smaller scale than before through this Zepp tour.

So I'm going to play a concert tour, traveling Japan's cities such as Osaka, Tokyo and so on.

I'll have a concert tour where my fans can feel comfortable as if they are with their best friend.

7:06~7:31

My dress designer and I make my own stage clothes.

I try to wear stage clothes suitable for each of my songs, and many fashion journals are helpful in making the clothes.

I think clothes are important for every stage, and I'm trying to set the trend.

7:43~7;59

I think I should feel cozy and have confidence, when I wear clothes.

I'm dressed like this, because these clothes I'm now wearing are very comfortable and I like the color.

8:11~8:23

White is just one of my favorite colors rather than a concept.

My favorite colors are black and white, so I tend to use those colors in preference to others.

Today, I didn't intend to wear white color clothes, I just happened to wear these.

8:36~9:05

I like adidas & Cloche style, and designer 'Yohij Yamamoto'.

Whenever I walk around the Harajuku' area of Japan, all the multi shops without exception seem to be great since almost every designer in that country is extremely talented.

9:15~

I think New York city is at the center of fashion in USA, and each of countries in Europe also has its number one in fashion, while the youths' fashion style of Tokyo to spread all over the country is number one in Japan.

0:05~0:13

I love all the cultures of Japan, particularly, I like its food culture.

So, every time I visit Japan, I have some expectations of something good.

0:14~0:33

On arriving in Japan, I go out for eating sushi or ramen.

Each dish seems to be surprising and delightful at any conveyor-belt sushi restaurant.

0:44~1:18

I like each of the songs in my album, because I gave to finish my work with all matters of the heart for one year.

I think Japanese fans will like 'Love Song' most among the songs since it seems to appeal to that country's sentiment.

5:54~6:13

Hello, everyone, this is Rain.

It's been so long.

I've finally come to perform my Zepp tour through my album and concert, and Saitama concert will be held soon after.

I hope to get a lot of support from you.

Please be healthy and happy, and give F TV your interest and supoort.

Thank you, and I love you.
