Rain kicks off 2009 World Tour

Rain_090715

With the U.S. lawsuit behind him, Rain is finally licking, er kicking off his “Legend of Rainism World Tour” in Tokyo, Japan at Saitama Super Arena on August 29th and 30th.  Of course, where else would the concert start?!

But not to neglect his Korean fans completely, the chubbierMagic Feet” will have a “Global Fan Meeting” in Suwon on July 26.

As for other city dates, no word yet. But what we do know is that Rain will start promoting his 2nd Hollywood movie, “Ninja Assasin” at the end of the year.

Ninja Assassin is expected to fly into theaters in Korea on November 25th.

    What happened to Rain? I wonder if he got fatter or if he got buffer and that outfit is just not doing him justice. Patiently waiting for Ninja Assasin. I love you Rain!!!!!

      he got buffer…not fat…its from all the Ninja Assasin workout/training that he had to do…hopefully he’ll just not work out for a while, or do cardio so he slims down.

    looks like Rain is packing some lbs. He isn’t a skinny guy anyway. i thought “Ninja Assassin” was coming to the states?

    Rain trying to be sexual is goofy.

  7. 9 Caroliya July 15, 2009 at 1:59 pm

    he looks fine to me… =D

    I really wouldn’t be surprised if “Ninja Assassin” gets a limited release or just goes straight to dvd. Its release date has been pushed back so many times, I have no idea. Shame too, cause I’m a big fan of Naomie Harris.

    The US lawsuit is behind him? What happened to the L.A. lawsuit? Was that settled out of court?

  10. 12 cindy July 15, 2009 at 3:56 pm

    it’s a great news . i have to plan my trip to japan .

  11. 13 tiffany's genie ^^ July 15, 2009 at 4:26 pm

    i would lick his balls^^

    snsd fighting!

  12. 15 Beckbeck July 15, 2009 at 4:27 pm

    Oh DARN! I won’t be in Japan, I’ll be SO sad (note my sarcasm…)

  13. 16 Sada July 15, 2009 at 5:20 pm

    Often entertaining stars get flabbier before kicking off a tour. I think it usually has much to do with the fact that you will be dancing non stop and really working out and putting much exertion on the body. So by the time he gets done touring, Rain, should be toned back down and sexy again!

    • 17 my_everything July 16, 2009 at 11:49 am

      Now i see… Like someone here mentioned before that Rain isn’t a skinny guy, which i’m agree to it..
      His bone structure seems bigger compared to other Asian guys..

  14. 18 koolcucumber July 15, 2009 at 5:26 pm

    Rain is sexy but him licking his hand is not.

  15. 21 kelli July 15, 2009 at 5:32 pm

    this pic is kinda gross. i like him, but rain trying to be sexy is always weird. like when he feels up and down his body or tries to show off his stomach.

  16. 26 pinya July 15, 2009 at 6:27 pm

    Woow Rain world tour! that’s the most I looking forward to. I still remember he did the great concert last 2 year
    I miss his concert.

  17. 27 gammelbraut July 15, 2009 at 8:02 pm

    this pic looks wierd… why he has to licks his hand? He better licks my cheek *lol*
    Where are the other tour dates? 2 concerts is not a “tour”!

  18. 28 gabryska July 15, 2009 at 8:44 pm

    I wish I colud come…but no holidays this year

  19. 29 Deajay July 15, 2009 at 9:20 pm

    It’s the pants their way to tight plus their leather.

  20. 30 YG July 15, 2009 at 9:44 pm

  23. 33 fraulein July 15, 2009 at 10:55 pm

    Note to self – stop dissing the weird way he dresses himself, from street urchin to biker wannabe.

    I wanna know if South East Asia stops are included. I have difficulties getting any time off work but I really, really wanna see him.

  24. 34 Susan C. July 15, 2009 at 11:35 pm

    Oh my gosh…
    When I found out Ninja Assassin was coming out on my birthday, I was screaming…
    Man, I wish I was in Japan right now…
    Either way, he still looks so damn fine to me right now… *drools at his performance of Rainism at the 2008 Korean Awards*

  25. 35 A fan from England July 16, 2009 at 12:06 am

    I won’t be able to see him in Asia but hope to see him at the Premier of Ninja Assassin at the Leicester Sq London.

  30. 43 seoulroks July 16, 2009 at 2:47 am

    Rain should stop in Orlando on his tour. that would be good. we have the Amway arena, it’s big enough, we can fit, someone can sit outside. ya know its funny, almost nobody stops in Orlando on a tour, forget me not…

  31. 44 jin July 16, 2009 at 5:04 am

    D:<
    HE IS NOT CHUBBY.

  32. 45 S T A R R ** July 16, 2009 at 10:11 am

    :| he’s hot!

  33. 47 tadu July 16, 2009 at 3:21 pm

    can anyone tell me if i must buy tickets or reserve something because i want to go to the fan meeting.
    anyone please?

    thanks ^^ *hoping*

    Rain is definitely not sporting his own clothing line in the above picture. Also, he keeps changing his look as though he cannot settle on the image for himself post-movies.

    Rain shares an interest in the skulls and bones motif with actor Bae Yong Jun. What’s going on?

    Hopefully, Rain figures out a grooming routine for his hair so we don’t see messy hair for his promo tour for Ninja Assasin.

    • 50 tjrachel August 21, 2009 at 10:36 pm

      I’m wondering too why he’s not wearing his own clothing line and what’s w/ the skull and bones? It seems not him,and same w/ the curly hair.

  35. 51 Vilrain July 17, 2009 at 11:21 am

    Whatever you say RAIN is hot! He is on TOP THAT’S WHY SO MANY ARE ENVIOUS OF HIS SUCCESS.

  36. 52 yuli July 17, 2009 at 9:08 pm

    won’t this entry be better if its tittle is “Rain licks off 2009 World Tour” hehe

  37. 53 soju July 18, 2009 at 2:53 am

    seems like he’s been licking too many toppings off those pizza hut pizzas.

  38. 54 MyWildestDesires July 20, 2009 at 12:44 am

    The tour is probably gonna be called ‘Rainism’ ..obviously~

  39. 56 A fan from England July 21, 2009 at 12:27 am

    Regarding the above article about ninjas, i think people should also read this before deciding, hopefully things will clear up a bit about what Rain actually said.

    at the end of the day Rain wants to conquer the whole world a step closer to crown King of south Korea. hardly a day pass without Rain hot news, gossips, rants, raves flowing like laevae from volcanoes. Rain generating huge publicity internationally, will he be more famous than MJ thus replacing king of pop? possibly his current ambition & what about puting his finger in every pizza or pie? no doubt he’ll replace Bae JY as richest korean celeb b4 he reach 30!!

  41. 58 bob August 9, 2009 at 12:04 pm

    that looks nasty..licking his damn paw. and why is his ass so damn big? how much weight did he gain? i guess he’s off the chicken breast diet.

  42. 59 tjrachel August 25, 2009 at 7:14 pm

    Rain kicks off his 2009 world tour and it’s kicking off to a good start…Japan concert already sold-out!
