9 Oct 2009 - Talking + 'Not a Single Day' song on the first day
my show is almost finished.
Is it interesting?
While staying in foreign countries, I am so lonely, but since I've come to hold my concert at the place where I live, I gain strength and feel so good.
Sometimes I achieve success and sometimes failure, but I have my doubts about the reason why I have to work
hard like this at whiles, and therefore there is a lot to lose that way.
And to conclude, the reason why I work hard is...(His finger has formed a ring - that means money)
It's just a joke ! (shaking his hand with laughter)
Anyway, thanks for giving me your love. )
10 Oct 2009 - Talking + 'Not a Single Day' song
Are you all getting along well?(all the audience cheeres)
Did you miss me? (Yeah!)
Is it interesting? (Yeah!)
My concert has been held in 3 years, right? (Yeah!)
I wanted to hold my concert, but I think I was delayed because I had been too busy doing a lot of work due to my filming, an so on.
I have some symptom of allergic coryza (excusing himself from the audience due to his snifling)
(He pretends to throw his towel toward the audience)
Anyway, thank you for your coming for my Legend of Rainism concert, and I hope you to enjoy the concert all the time and to find it interesting.
Do you understand what I mean? (Yeah!)
Talking+ partial 'Handshake' song
I think I always have to do my best not to disappoint my father and my late mother in heaven and my younger sister I love, my fans, 'Jin Young' Hyung(JYP) who has brought me into here, those who have bent over backward to help my concert, and myself who have done all the hard work for the concert.
I believe I would rather be sure to have to do than to have no choice but to do.
The dice is cast.
When Ninja Assassin will be released about November 25th, I think all my efforts will be paid off.
If things will work out very well, I think I can show a lot of shows or dramas or movies to you, so please support me a lot.
Instead of finding the reason for my hard working, overcoming myself seems to be the biggest problem for me.
Sometimes I achieve success and sometimes failure, but I believe I've won, because I, meanwhile, have gone further in that direction of success.
My work has ever turned out crabs on a false charge, however, since I'm thinking I have to shoulder even that as a problem which must be overcome, I hope you to encourage me a lot.
You'll never be let down by me.
* 'Jin Young' Hyung (JYP) : Rain addresses JYP as the title of Hyung because JYP is older than Rain, and Rain once belonged to JYP's company.

11 Oct 2009 - Rain Wows Fans in 'Legend of Rainism'
Korean pop star Rain has been busy with his own clothing line and a Hollywood film produced by the Wachowski brothers. But he didn't forget his roots as a singer, gratifying local fans at his Seoul concert ``Legend of Rainism'' held at the Gymnastic Stadium, Olympic Park, Friday.
This was the singer's first concert in Seoul in three years, and he somewhat successfully proved that, despite his busy schedule, he still had the time to rehearse and work on a three-hour show with 25 songs.
New group MBLAQ from Rain's agency J.Tune Entertainment opened the show and impressed with their powerful stage presence. The five-member group, who were dressed in black-and-white with dark-eye makeup, sounded nervous as they greeted fans, but enthusiastically encouraged them to enjoy the show.
Rain finally appeared on stage clad in a floral print velvet jacket with a black-sequined vest and bow tie. He opened his three-hour performance with ``My Way.''
The 27-year-old didn't save his bag of tricks for the end, surprising fans with fireworks throughout the show.
With only a pin-light illuminating him, he sported a black fedora and offered the famous ``Billie Jean'' dance by the late Michael Jackson, who he said was his spiritual mentor and the reason he started dancing when he was young.
``Hello, I missed you all. I so wanted to hold a concert, but I have been busy doing other things, such as filming movies, and so that was why I had to postpone performing for a while. But I'm back now, and I hope you all enjoy the show,'' he said.
The singer changed into a total of five different outfits, making vests the focal point of his wardrobe. From the sequined black vest to a silver metallic and biker black leather one, Rain showed off his muscular arms and lean figure throughout the show.
Not only is Rain popular for his songs around Asia, but he has also made a name for himself as one of the best male dancers in Korea. On Friday he showed why. The singer constantly danced to the beat, jumping from the second floor of the stage to the first, stomping his feet and punching his fists to the music, all carried out without losing his breath. New moves were also added to the famous dance routines, some resembling martial arts to others, while others were more energetic.
``When you live abroad, you get lonely easily so it feels great to be back in my home country. Sometimes when I'm busy, having both good and bad times, I lose my sense of direction. But I have to say I am always thankful for the love and interest you show me,'' he said.
One section of the show was a special treat for his fans, as Rain stood on stage alone moving to the beat without backup dancers or colorful stage lights.
He then stood in the middle of the stage and an installation in the ceiling opened up and rain literally starting pouring down on him. Ripping off his black sweatshirt with his hands, he sang in the downpour, with fans screaming and the screens focusing on his tight abs. While many enjoyed this particular scene, it was nothing original.
His finale in a silky white suit was a smart finish, as he sang ``Love Story'' and ``Friends,'' waving to his fans and disappearing from the stage.
After giving four encore numbers, the singer once again vanished into the dark, waving and thanking fans for supporting him.
Indeed, Rain was back, but it was hard to ignore the fact that the show was not much different from those by local stars. The club scene, pole dancing, mask dance and even the pouring rain was nothing new, and although his presence as a singer and dancer may have made a difference, the overall content of the concert lacked creativity and spark.
Nevertheless, the concert was a perfect chance to watch how much Rain enjoys performing, and also how much support he has as one of the most popular Korean stars in Asia.
