Meme, #2




“It’s Raining” by Rain from the CD “It’s Raining”. This Korean pop star’s childhood dream was to be like Michael Jackson (musically, that is. I don’t think anyone dreams of being such a freak), but Rain's name seems to be a subtle reference to Prince. Rain is one of the most famous heartthrobs in South Korea and recently played two nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City. K-pop (Korean pop music) has crossed over to Japan and China as well. Ever the Asian student, Rain wants to improve his English before breaking into the U.S. market. Some songs in English, some in Korean. Same with liner notes.

Black Feline: Yeah, I got the impression he's put on a good show. Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about the NY concerts. I even looked at NY Times online that weekend.
