GOT THIS TODAY. Weeks before it was schedule to arrive. This is a new artist for me to listen to. I like the sound whether in Korean, Japanese or English. A very enjoyable CD. FAST SONGS GREAT TO DANCE AND RUN TO. Love I do - very happy. Liked the DVD short sweet and fun. THIS IS THE SOUNDTRACK FOR MY WORKOUTS ALONG WITH SOME OF HIS OTHER MUSIC.I just discovered this artist when I was introduced to Korean Dramas. I was able to find the translations to the lyrics. I do believe things get lost in translation. However this Cd is really wonderful. A nice book came with it and a DVD with a photo shoot of the artist. That was a pleasant surprise. He is an actor, a dancer, a model, and a singer. I'm really enjoying discovering all the movies and music he does. I like this CD the music is really enjoyable and for the price I'm more than satisfied.
The album fades in and out with tracks 1 & 15, which have the same melody as track 14. Here's the break down. #1 - a brief piano intro that sounds like Tracks 14 and 15 #2 - It's raining - good song but has a definate Pop music feel to it #3 - I do - nice upbeat song, check out the music video on Youtube #4 - Familiar face - very soulful #5 - 11 days - slow, kind of sad #6 - Quiz - another good upbeat sounding R & B song #7 - My groove (feat. Epik High), really cool song, danceable and Epik High rap very nicely. #8 - Korean title - very slow, my least favorite song #9 - Biggest thing - very nice R & B song, one of my favorites from Rain. #10 - Wanna talk (feat Juvie) - cool, danceable, kind of pop #11 - But I love you - good R & B song #12 - Korean title - I really like this song alot. Soulful song with some rap. #13 - No no no - slow, he sings nice and has some male back up singers. #14 - To you - slow with piano, nice melody but too slow for my taste. #15 - I love you - continues with the same piano melody as "To You" as it fades the album out. I have all 5 CDs by Rain and this one is my favorite from him. Lots of good songs with some english mixed in. Soulful with some rap and danceable melodies. His album "N002" is my 2nd favorite but good luck finding it on Amazon. You can find more of his music on Amazon by looking under Bi Rain or Pi Rain.
This CD was hard to come by but so worth the effort. Even if you don't understand Korean, you will want to learn after hearing Rain's voice. The passion and intensity of the music and lyrics is like no other. This is a favorite...Outstanding arrangements. Crank up the sound in your car to feel the beat as you sing along, even if you don't know the words. But check them out since the lyrics are so expressive. Love his music and performance..anything from Rain will NOT disappoint.
Rain (Bi) is an all around performer, he is my best Korean R&B singer. I listen to Rain music all day everyday, I can not get enough of his music, he has a wonderful voice and his stage performances are outstanding. This product is packaged really nice, I love the extra photo books that comes with his CD's I now have all six of Rain's Korean CD's I highly recommend his music to anyone. Move On is one of my favorites on this CD and I really love the photo Album.
