Singer Rain to Work with Top American Star Omarion
2006-02-09
Singer Rain, a "star of Asia," has recently knocked on the door of the American
music market with his concert at the Madison Square Garden Theater in New
York. He will likely work with top American star Omarion, who is dubbed "the
second Usher," to produce a joint album and act together in a film.
During Rain's concert in New York on Feb. 3, the second day of the scheduled
performances, Omarion displayed his impressive dancing ability onstage. During
the concert, Rain once again called him onstage, hinting that he was pushing
forward with a secret project with the American star.
Since both of them have singing, dancing and acting abilities, fans, journalists and
those from the entertainment industry who filled the concert hall to capacity that
day, showed extraordinary curiosity about what they were planning.
On Feb. 9, an official from Rain's agency, JYP Entertainment, raised public
expectations about their joint project, saying, "These two young men, who can
dance, sing, and act well, can work together to release a duo album or act
together in a film."
Park Jin-young, Rain's producer, has already finished writing two songs for
Omarion's new album at the latter's request. Some people cite the possibility of
Omarion singing one of these songs in a duet with Rain.
The introduction of Omarion's new songs will reportedly be conducted by P.
Diddy, "the Midas of American hip-hop" who made Rain's first-day concert shine
by his appearance onstage, and Teairra Mari, a rising American R&B star.
Omarion used to be the lead singer of B2K, a popular group of young singers, and
debuted as a solo singer in 2005. His debut album "O" sold more than 1 million
copies, causing him to attract media attention as a "next-generation Usher." He is
a now a hip-hop superstar who has also been recognized as an actor after
starring in the film "You Got Served." He was praised for having displayed his
dancing ability in the film.
An official from JYP Entertainment said, "Rain and Omarion immediately bonded
because of each other's ability and modesty, and promised to be friends. They
are on such friendly terms that they have exchanged their cellphone numbers."
Rain said, "I like Omarion's modesty and warm personality. I hope to work with
him and build a good friendship."

That is such a boost to Rain's success if he gets to work with Omarion.

aww I wish I had heard it..
but wow I'm really impressed now. JYP must be doing something right bc Bi's been getting a lot more coverage than I expected. I just hope Bi takes his time and improves his English so his crossover will be successful!!

Rain's Interview in Cawaii! Magazine, Vol.22, Feb 2006. (Thai mag)…
RAIN'S VALENTINE
Get to know about the Valentine's Day of the hottest guy in Asia!
Who's this month ? This time round, especially for our beloved Cawaii!'s readers, we have got an interview with Rain, the Korean hot guy who is expecting a big concert in Thailand this month. And to celebrate the Valentine's Day festival which is coming, we'll ask him what everyone wants to know about his Valentine's day. Only available here at Cawaii!
Cawaii! : Say something to Cawaii!'s readers, please.
Rain : Hello all the readers of Cawaii!
Cawaii! : This will be your first full-scaled concert ever in Thailand. What do you feel about it now ? Any pressure or any expectations ?
Rain : Not any pressure. ^^ I only feel excited to be meeting fans and it's the first time that I open a concert there. I've been to Thailand a couple of times but never really meet up with all of my fans. I hope to have a good response from fans over there. When I had to do a surgery at the beginning of last year, I received a lot of best wishes from Thai fans. So I hope this concert will get supports and good responses from Thai fans as well.
Cawaii! : What's your latest works and what's next ?
Rain : I've got a drama, "Ijugil Nomui Sarang" (A Love To Kill) which has just ended. On Feb 2-3, I will have concerts in New York. And I've got a new single , "Sad Tango" which I sing in Japanese. And the last one is Feb 25, which I will come for "Rainy Day In Bangkok".
Cawaii! : You work so hard. Then, what do you usully do to regain your freshness. Any drinks or dishes especially ?
Rain : To me, sleeping is the best way to regain my freshness. Because I usually work very hard so when I've got some times, I will sleep as much as possible. And then, a cooled Pepsi can would be good enough to make me fresh again and ready to go on working for my fans.
Cawaii! : Can you describe your music's progression now ? What would you like to add or what would you like to try ?
Rain : On each album, I have got my share of creativities on it. For example, I've got my share on the melody (beat ?) of the songs 'cause I have to think about my dance steps along with it. And if I've got a chance I'd like to be a producer too.
Cawaii! : You've been to Thailand several times. Anything you especially like?
Rain : Probably food, 'cause Thai food tastes different from others. Especially "Pad Thai", I still like its taste even now. As for favourite place, I like "Phuket" 'cause it has a beautiful sea there. I went there to film Full House and still impress with it until now. And I also like Thai people, who're generous and always welcoming me so I feel warm everytime I'm there.
Cawaii! : Cawaii! is a magazine about Japanese fashion. What about your fashion ? Have you got any favourite fashion ?
Rain : Actually my style of clothing is like youngsters out there. I like normal & easy cloths. But I'd like to collect shoes and cloths too, which I have pretty a lot. Don't know if they're called accessories or not. (??)
Cawaii! : Don't forget to travel to Thailand, when you have time. We will always welcome you.
Rain : If I've got a chance, I'll certainly visit there 'cause there're a lot of attracting places there that I've never been to yet.
LOVE & VALENTINE
Cawaii! : Could you share your experiences of Valentine's Day with Cawaii's readers ?
Rain : My valentine's day is more like kid's. Something like falling for a pretty girl with red cheeks and giving her a piece of chocolate. Nothing much special. Maybe because I grow up working in this field so I haven't got much time for that.
Cawaii! : Do you like watching movies ? If you do, could you tell us which is your most favourite ? And which one do you think is most romantic ?
Rain : Actually I watch every kind of movies. I don't have the most favourite genre. As for the one I think is most romantic... hmm...I don't know... I think I'm more romantic than movies. (Laughs)
Cawaii! : In your opinion, "what" can make a girl pretty and what kind of women do you usually "fall for" ?
Rain : Pretty face is not so important to me. But I like to look at women's eyes. I like women with beautiful eyes & long hair. If she's good-minded, generous, and be a proper lady, I will like her more. And the most important thing , we have to get along well in every issue. Taking good care of me will be great 'cause I work hard all the time.
Cawaii! : If you fall in love with someone, how will you tell her about that ?
Rain : I will walk toward her and whisper at her ear that....I love you. (Laughs..) Just kidding! ^^ I'll probably use a song to represent my love for her.
Cawaii! : If you ever write a song for your lover, what will you name that song as ?
Rain : "Beloved".. with a short but meaningful word 'cause she's my beloved.
Cawaii! : If you're an "ordinary guy" , what do you think you will plan for Valentine's Day ?
Rain : Actually, I am one ordinary guy. But only that I'm known to many people. Yeah I used to think about what if I'm a normal guy. I'd like to drive my lover to a garden. Must be a beautiful garden,.... quiet and fresh-aired. And I have my lover sitting by my side. Just that...is able to make us have good times and romantic moments.
P.S. : Rain's concert entitled "Rainy Day In Bangkok" will be open at Impact Arena, Muang Thongthani on February 25 at 20.00-22.00. Tickets are available at Thaiticketmaster, on sale from February 4.

Does anyone know the address were we can send gifts to Rain?
I would join the Korea Fanclub, but I am a US Citizen. So, I can't!
They need to start a US FanClub.

that's exactly what I was thinking
Bi gets so many presents from his fans... I doubt he receives all gifts =/
edit: Yeah! I own page 25!!
