As if the title “Rainism” wasn’t bad enough. Rain is re-releasing his album “Rainism” with a new title - Rainism Recollection. What is so different you ask? Simple, it’s just a bunch of different versions of the original songs already on the album. We’ve got “Love Story” in Japanese, Mandarin, and English, the acoustic versions of “12th September” and “My Woman,” and an urban mix of “Fresh Woman.” There’s also a DVD which comes with the 35-minute movie of “Love Story.” 35 minutes? I don’t think I can really sit through that. The music video was hilarious as it was already. I didn’t understand the plot much at all except the fact that Rain played a freeloader in some poor girl’s apartment. How that’s going to stretch into 35 minutes… Well, we’ll just have to see.

But Rainism Recollection does have its perks. Besides the two discs with 22 songs and the 35-minute movie, there’s also a photobook. If there’s one thing Rain is good for it’s having a sexalicious body so that’s something to look forward to. I’m not so sure about the cover though. I’m not feeling the whole white outfit with the bowtie. Also there’s the fact that it’s just him with water and a random boat in the background. Come on Rain, you can be more badass than that. I don’t want to have to go through another poster hunt only to find that there was only an abundance of Rainism posters again.

Since Rainism Recollection is a limited edition CD, there will only be 30,000 copies released on March 5th. Well, if anyone wants that photobook badly, you better go get it. I don’t see what else is really that interesting about it.
