The Rain!

Went to Las Vegas to see Rain, the Legend, in his "The Rain - Legend of Rainism" performance at Caesar's Palace.

It was my second K-Pop concert and we were worried that he might cancel at the last minute because he has done that a few times before....and didn't refund the ticket money!!! So, we held off on buying tickets until the day before when we came back from LA.

When we got to Caesar's it was really funny to see all the asian/asian american's looking at us really funny! It was much worse when I went to see Shinhwa in Japan but it was still quite obvious that we were one of the few white people around...lol! When we went to find our seats the usher said "Are you Rain Fans!"...he was asian american and seemed bemused more than anything else but we just went with it.

I don't know what I was expecting but I really impressed with his voice! He had such a strong voice and was a great performer. The main annoyance was the fact that he kept getting onto his hands and knees and panting after/during some of the songs, like he was about to pass out...lol. I guess he isn't as fit as he was when he was training for Ninja Assassin! Well, i suppose I will give him a break...like I'm fit in any way.

He spent more time on his slower tempo R&B stuff and skipped over some of his best stuff but I will forgive him because overall it was great.

My next goal is to get to a kpop concert in Korea...don't know what my chances are but I'll give it a go eventually...when I'm not broke!

Here's my favourite rain song for you!
