Rainism - Rain (Album)

This is Rain's 5th full length Korean album. Seriously, what's with singers & newly invented words as their album title these days?? *thinking of TVXQ's "Mirotic" & Lee Hyori's "It's Hyorish"*

Anyway, the "ism" of "Rainism" promotes a new ideology and concept that capture the essence of who he is and what he represents that Rain wants US to believe that he's the "CHOSEN ONE" to lead us in kpop enlightment. It kinda explains his lack of modesty probably because he's like, being chosen as "Time Magazine's Most Influential Person In The World" TWICE in a row!!

There are 3 singles off this album, "Love Story", "Rainism" & "Only You". The song "Rainism" is written AND composed by Rain himself. OK, despite the mean responds people are giving to him, say like "the lyrics are cheap" or something EVEN HARSHER than THAT, I actually LIKE the song. Especially the lyrics of the opening of the song "I'm gonna be a bad boy, I'm gonna be a bad bad boy~~~" You've gotta give that man credit for his effort!!

While the other single "Love Story" is an awesome pop R&B that showcases the ugly side of love. The MV featuring Korean actress Ha Ji Won is equally great. The MV is soo good it's like the only Asia song Channel [V] broadcasted recently besides S.H.E's new MV. (Damn Channel [V], when will you get to your senses & put up TVXQ's Mirotic??!)

It's official that Rain will begin promotional activities for the R&B dance track, "Only You” & the first stage performance will be introduced on November 21st on KBS Music Bank.” (Note to self: gotta watch that!!) Already back with a comeback special stage, and appearing on top ranked programs, now with "Only You" Rain plans to ensnare audiences with a much more mature singing ability and charismatic dancing.
