*** RAVI is a rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer. He had a duet with RAIN in one of the OST's of "Diamond Lover", RAIN's C-drama. It is his song Marilyn Monroe in Chinese and renamed for the OST. Ravi was featured as a rapper in that song. It dominated one of China's top music sites in K-Pop category of QQ Music Chart.  He also collaborated with RAIN in ASTER's song, Champagne.  This song features Rain's vocals and was apparently collaboration between DJ Aster and VIXX's Ravi.  

 

 

I know that the Chinese versions of both Marilyn Monroe and September 12 as OST of Diamond Lover topped the music chart in China, but of course I still love the Korean versions so much more  

 

I miss Rain on the small screen so much will have to re-watch Sketch

hnfragile,  I like this song, too although, it's quite a very sad song. It shows your pain about the girl. The lyrics were written by RAIN. Regardless if this song is sung in Korean, Japanese, Chinese or English, it still has a sorrowful feel to it. The MV is also NICE. This is under his Rainism album, the sixth album, 2008. This is the first album since his departure from JYP Entertainment. Here's the lyrics (English Translation)

Translated by Cin @ RainLegend

 

September 12th

Regardless who are facing the split
We could not become very honest
I am also like this
Heart is like shredding
Had made the reply with clenching teeth
Let’s broke up….I did it according to your words
I disclosed my words for my leave in a graceful manner
Go find a better guy than me…..I said like this in the surface
I cried while still waiting for you
The days we pass through together
At that time, my memory of that bed still there
If I let the door open, maybe there will be a day you come to look for me
Because you are my everything in my life

In my memory, September 12 that day
You said some words that I could never forget
If we trust each other then let’s start and try
I could never forget that moment

I cried while still waiting for you
The bright smile at that time
Even though I am unable to show it right now
I am sincere
You are my only one at that time
In the World only you to me
I’m not saying wanted you to come back
You must live happily!!

The tears you dropped because of me always flow through my heart
Please be happy!!
I cried while beg for forgiveness
I must made you feel pain right?
I look like a fool right now
I wanted to give my regards to you again
I am still your man
Had loved you entirely!

Oh now I see that the tweet actually came out alright, it didn't last night on my laptop screen for some reason and I kept trying so many times until I got so frustrated. Thanks for the instruction I must have missed your post on the back pages.

 

Yes, @willenette, September 12 is heart-breaking We're going into the festive season so no more heart breaking stuff let's listen to Sunshine

hnfragile, hahaha - ye, we move on to Sunshine. “Sunshine” is a track, which was just released last December last year under My Life album, his 1st mini-album. Of course, the lyrics is different from September 12. Here's the Sunshine lyrics :  (English Translation) 

 

 

My heart pounds
All of this makes me happy

I don’t know since when
But feels like I have everything
I can’t fall asleep because of the butterflies
Everything feels like a dream

You are a light in my life
That was once tired and exhausted
You’re my paradise
You erase all of the bad memories of the past

You’re my Love
After a long wait
There’s only one sunshine
Shining under the sun
This start is for you

Was it you?
That made me like this?

From A to Z
I like everything about you

I’m so happy, I could fly
Everything feels like a dream

You are a light in my life
That was once tired and exhausted
You’re my paradise
You erase all of the bad memories of the past

You’re my Love
After a long wait
There’s only one sunshine
Shining under the sun
This start is for you

Let’s get on up, alright
Smile for me
Show me yourself

Let’s get on up, alright
Let’s start now

This feeling today
I wanna share it with you forever

You’re my Love
After a long wait
There’s only one sunshine
Shining under the sun
This start is for you

Am retyping it the person shares as pictures, I also want to add some screen caps. The translation is of the first 15 mins of the trip (at the airport then a bit on the plane) and 15mins of the first night and then not translation but explanation of some events during the trip. Perhaps I will be done by the weekend

 

I love Rain on variety shows because I can see him smile and laugh a lot

Carefree Travelers Ep 50, aired on 29 November 2017

Hosts: Jeong Hyeongdon (JHD), Kim Yongman (KYM), Ahn Junghwan (AJH), Kim Seongju (KSJ)

 

 

1^st day, 6:30am, Incheon Airport

1:15 KSJ: Today we have a very special guest!

All: Yes we have seen the news!

1:18 KSJ I was in shock, when I heard it!

1:19 AJH He never traveled like this

1:20 JHD His baby has been born very recently and he is already doing this! Is that even possible?

1:25 KSJ Isn’t he doing a world tour?

A:27 But why he is not here? Couldn’t he go through another entrance?

1:32 KSJ I have been really suspicious – what happened to this friend that he wants to go out to travel with us like this?

1:57 Captions: Rain (real name Jung Jihoon), special fact: fresh father of a newborn baby; weak point: can’t stand being hungry.

2:01 Newspaper articles: “On November 6 Rain takes part in the recording of the Carefree Travelers in Taiwan, leaves his wife Kim Taehee and his daughter for 3 days and 2 nights”; “Rain takes part in The Carefree Travelers, on November 6 goes to Taiwan”; “’Father’ Rain goes to Taiwan for Carefree Travelers”’

2:14 Newspaper articles: “Rain and Kim Taehee tied the knot after give years in love” […] “9 months after the wedding gave birth to a daughter on October 25” …

2:26 Caption: First public appearance after the birth of his daughter.

2:32 KSJ First of all I am curious what he will be wearing at the airport

2:36 JHD Now we need high resolution! Ah!

2:43 AJH Jihoon-ah! Long time no see.

2:50 KYM We are all very curious about you now!

All: yes so curious!

2:56 KSJ I have a lot of curious questions about you!

2:59 Rain There is nothing to be curious about!

3:00 KSJ We won’t ask anything else, just this question.

3:02 Rain Don’t ask, ok?

3:04 KSJ Shouldn’t you be on a world tour? Why are you here? No world tour now?

3:09 Rain In fact, I am a big fan of this program! I am not sure if you know about it, but I’ve always wanted to go somewhere with you.

3:17 KSJ Oh really? We didn’t know about that! They didn’t tell us! You suggested it yourself?

3:20 Rain Yes, really. Now I am preparing for my comeback with a new album, but in fact, taking part in this program doesn’t make much difference for the promotion of my album.

3:29 KSJ You wanted to go with us to promote your album?

KYM Shouldn’t you choose some music program instead? We cannot help you with this!

3:36 Rain But I really wanted to go! Just for these couple of days.

3:42 AJH Is it because we are so good or you just wanted to escape from home?

3:45 Rain Let’s talk about this alter!

3:46 Isn’t he just like us!

3:50 AJH To tell truth, we also sometimes wish not to think about what’s happening at home!

3:54 Rain Sometimes when I open my eyes I imagine I can move as a bus.

4:01 KSJ I know this.

4:03 Rain Really, I will say it once more, I am a real fan of this program.

4:10 KJM But you do not match into our [way of] traveling.

4:12 Rain No … I…

4:12 JHD Your clothes look too fancy for traveling with us.

4:15 Rain It’s not like that! I was afraid that you would say that, so I want to explain why I’ve dressed like this.

4:22 Rain As soon as we get off the plane, it is going to be very hot in Taiwan. I am not sure if you know this? So later there won’t be an opportunity to wear this. When we get there, this coat will be a bit too much, right? I have short sleeves (under it).

4:37 Oh he has a short sleeved T-shirt under it! So you are going to take the coat off after we arrive there and you will be wearing just this?

4:41 Rain This [pants] looks very thick, but if you touch the material (everybody touching) …

4:45 Wow he allows us to touch! Everybody wants to try!

4:48 Rain Very breathable! Therefore I thought that it would be a problem, what kind of coat to wear.

4:53 This one is too thick … Looks very warm.

4:55 KSJ So now you will be all in black.

4:57 Rain Yes but you know why? Even though the clothing may be a bit more casual, it still has to be according to the etiquette. Therefore I decided to wear black.

5:06 KJM You gave a lot of thought even to your outfit!

5:08 JHD It quite makes sense!

5:11 Rain He likes to talk a lot!

5:13 You seem to be well prepared for the trip, right?

5:14 Rain Of course!

5:15 KYM You seem to know a lot about the Carefree Travelers and about Taiwan too.

5:18 Rain Yes

5:19 You did a good research!

5:20 Rain Yes, I did!

[showing later parts of the show, when they do the rock-scissors-paper games and Rain lost most of the games]

5:27 Rain No!

5:29 If you don’t show anything, you’ve lost. Rock-paper-scissors!

5:31 Rain I want my revenge now! Rock – paper – scissors!

Losing, losing, losing …

5:37 Are you mad?

… Losing ten games out of ten …

Yes!

5:43 Rain Why are you doing this to me?

5:47 KYM Anyway, congrats on your marriage!

5:48 Rain Thank you!

5:52 We all wanted to congratulate you, but we couldn’t …

5:55 KSJ Now it is a bit too late to congratulate you to the wedding! You have even the baby now.

6:00 So congrats to having the baby too.

6:02 Rain Thanks.

6:03 It’s a daughter, right?

6:04 Rain Yes, a daughter.

6:05 Oh, how sweet!

6:06 Who does she look like?

6:07 Rain First of all …

6:10 Does she resemble her dad or her mum?

6:11 Rain First of all, she has double eyelids.

6:13 She has double eyelids? So she took after her mother!

6:18 Rain I am not gonna say more.

6:20 You said already a lot for the beginning.

6:23 Rain It should be enough.

Ok.

Really long time no see!

6:31 (To KHS) What are you doing?

6:33 JHD Searching for my passport. I want to get it ready.

6:36 KYM Jihoon-ah, have you brought your passport?

6:37 Rain This is the difference, I’ve got it ready.

6:38 Oh, he has it here already! You are really different!

6:41 Rain Of course, I’ve prepared it ahead.

6:42 KYM Are you going first?

6:45 He can’t wait! Look at his happy face! He looks so happy!

6:50 JHD It’s because he has the change to get away from home. Oh, these married men …

6:53 KYM Jihoon really likes traveling. I can tell.

6:58 KYM Don’t you have insurance?

7:04 JHD I thought that when we travel with this friend, there will be crowds of screaming fans.

7:08 Yes. I expected everybody will be excited to see him, not like this.

7:10 JHD “Oppa! Oppa!” Shouldn’t it be like this?

7:12 KSJ From now on it is not “oppa” but “appa”. And maybe it is like this (quiet) just because he has already become “appa”.

7:17 Rain I am in a wrong place, right?

7:22 KYM What is the baby’s name?

7:23 KHD He won’t tell us! Don’t tell us the name, but can you just tell us the symbolic meaning (of her name)?

7:26 Tell us the meaning, it will be enough!

7:27 Rain In fact, when I tell you the meaning, you would know everything.

7:30 No way! If you just say like there is “grace” in her name.

7:33 Rain Well… well… uhm… ok, it means something like superior.

7:30 Superior?

7:41 KYM If it is this, it surely includes the syllable “su” (splendid or outstanding)

7:44 KSJ So it would be like “wol” (exceed/superior). Jung Suwol? Jung Woowol? Our “Wori appa”…

7:57 (Rain has the feeling that this trip won’t go too smoothly)

7:59 JHD Hey, let’s exchange the money!

8:02 Rain It is a “package trip”, we shouldn’t spend any money!

8:05 JHD Shopping!

8:07 Rain We will go shopping?

8:08 KYM Also in many places you cannot pay with credit card. And there can always be some unexpected expenses.

8:14 Rain Oh, I see… In that case hyungs will pay for me, right?

8:16 KYM Of course… what? Hey!

8:19 Rain I know that you like to pay for the others!

8:21 KYM What? Me?

8:22 Rain Yes. If I need something, you buy it for me, ok?

8:23 KYM Me?

Rain Yes. You just buy it for me.

8:27 KYM In fact, this depends on who will go with you.

8:29 Rain I am very simple and I am going only with you.

8:35 KYM Ok, then change as much as you want.

8:38 How much do you want to change? Rain: 500,000 won.

8:39 (everybody booing) Hey! It’s not enough! Aren’t you going to buy something for your girl? Do you have some (financial) problems?

8:45 Rain Just give me for 500,000 won.

8:46 No way!

8:47 Rain Anyway, drinks are paid by Yongman hyung. And other things can be paid by Seongju hyung.

8:53 Rain Give me for 500,000! And give me a receipt, please.

8:57 Why do you want a receipt?

8:59 Rain I want to remember it when I change the money.

9:05 Is it for your wife?

9:06 Rain No!

9:07 It really looks like you have some problems! You even have to refer about it!

9:10 Of yes. I know! We know you well!

9:13 Are you in debit now? You need to take the stickers too!

9:17 Ah, this man! They are always giving the receipt anyway! Why would you ask for it?

9:21 KYM Is your wife short of money? Our sister?

9:43 (with his broad shoulders the seat is full)

9:47 (Hyeongdon on the left, Yongman on the right)

9:48 Rain What is it here? I need to fill it out.

(filling out the arrival card)

9:51 KHD I need to take a look at it. It isn’t in English, is it?

9:58 (writing the data from his passport)

10:00 KYM Oh, you need to remember your passport number!

10:04 Rain But I change it too often!

10:06 KYM What?

10:07 Rain I change my passport too often.

10:09 KYM He is even cooler than we are!

10:10 JHD Why do you have to change it often?

10:13 KYM He wants to say that he travels often abroad.

10:14 Rain Yes, I have many business trips.

10:15 JHD Ah, you know how to brag!

10:17 Rain Really!

10:18 KYM Let me see! (taking his passport)

10:20 JHD How many passports have you had?

10:22 Rain This is the third this year. Or second?

10:28 (Yongman is looking at Rain’s passport)

10:29 KYM Looking good on this photo! Is it photoshopped?

10:35 Rain No, it isn’t.

(looks so fine as if it was a drawing)

10:39 JHD I want to look which countries you have been to. You have two passports in one year? Cambodia?

10:47 Rain Because I have accumulated a lot of (frequent flyer) miles…

10:54 JHD Oh, you have a diamond card!

10:55 KYM Where did you get this cell phone case? It’s good!

10:58 Rain It was made by my friend.

10:59 KYM Ah, it’s custom made?

11:00 JHD And the passport case?

11:02 Rain Just ordinary passport.

11:04 KYM It’s different from ours.

11:06 KYM What do you have here? So many things! (looking into Rain’s bag)

11:08 Rain Speaker.

11:10 KYM Speaker? Do you think you will have time to use it?

11:11 Rain It is every popular now.

11:13 KYM What is this?

11:14 Rain Sunblock

11:17 KYM And this?

11:18 JHD Is it a lipstick?

11:19 KYM Car keys?... Perfume… Nothing special. And what about this?

11:26 Rain This is for making more new keys from my new home.

11:32 JHD In that case we will take one!

11:36 KYM We will go to your home to have some fun! Have you already moved in?

11:41 JHD We need to take it, if it’s from his home… He has it for his friends.

11:44 KYM Will you give me one if there is surplus one?

11:46 Rain You can come any time! Our door is open for you!

11:48 Rain I have a lot of pills, do you want some?

11:50 KYM What is here?

11:53 Rain Something for regeneration.

11:58 Regeneration?

11:59 Rain Yes.

12:01 KYM We won’t sleep for 6 hours (after taking the pill)? We will be there by that time.

12:06 Rain I need to use this (a neck pillow for sleeping on plane).

12:11 KYM It looks good! Where did you get it from? Is it latex? It’s different from what we have.

12:17 Rain It is like this. (showing) Very comfortable. Try it! How is it? Do you like it?

12:31 JHD Oh, hyung! (to KYM) It feels like leaning on someone’s shoulder!

12:31 KYM But this one is also ok!

12:36 JHD Hyung, just try it! It is really different!

12:38 KYM All are the same! What difference there can be?

12:40 JHD It is really different!

12:43 KYM Hmmm! Very comfortable! Feels so nice. Can I try how this smells (perfume)?

12:57 JHD Isn’t it too much?

13:00 KYM I have the same at home, but I haven’t taken it with me.

13:04 JHD I’ve lost exactly the same one (ear phones)!

13:08 KYM Oh, it is great! You’ve just found it!

13:15 Rain NO. This one is unbreakable.

13:17 JHD What is it written on it? Hyung, this is unbreakable!

13:20 Rain Hyung, be careful with it!

13:25 We are trying to break it! Let’s play with it!

13:25 Rain If you try really hard, you will break it.

13:27 KYM So it can be broken?

13:28 Rain It is not easy, but you can.

(teasing Rain with it for a long time)

13:40 KYM What are you going to watch?

13:42 Rain Dark Tower.

13:44 It’s not fun!

13:47 Rain Why have you turned it off?

13:50 KYM Cars 3. It is really good! Have you seen it?

13:58 Rain I’ve seen it already!

14:01 JHD Seen it? But not in Thai language, right? Let’s watch it in Thai!

14:04 KYM But there are not so many dialogues.

14:05 Are you not going to sleep?

14:09 Rain You are really driving me crazy!

14:12 KYM Go to sleep!

14:13 Rain Hyung, you can sleep when sitting? I can’t.

14:17 JHD If you lean on the seat, it is quite ok.

14:20 KYM Have you just said that you cannot sleep when sitting?

14:22 Rain Yes, just can’t.

14:23 KYM I think that we should edit together all those parts where you will be sleeping on the way. Right after what you said.

(lol)

 

[During the trip, Rain actually slept a lot while sitting on the plane and on the bus]
