Uehara Takako (SPEED) and Naoto Takanaka to star in Rain’s upcoming drama Fugitive

Uehara Takako, a member of the popular Japanese girl group, Speed, is officially set to appear as Rain’s lover in the upcoming KBS drama Fugitive.

After debuting in 1996 when she was only 13.5 years old through Speed, she as well as the group members quickly rose to fame and helped spark the Japan girl idol group boom.

After Speed disbanded in 2000, she later debuted as a solo singer commenced acting activities as well. In 2005, she acted alongside the Hallyu star Ryu Shi Won in a drama special called Much Ado About Love. Speed reunited as a group in 2008 and is currently still active, having released a single this past April.

Uehara Takako plays the role of Japanese best artist, Keiko and shares an affectionate love with Ji Woo (Rain’s character). This will be a love triangle; Lee Na Young and Uehara Takako fighting for the love of one man, Rain.

The famous actor, comedian and director Naoto Takenaka will also star in 도망자 and will play the role of Keiko’s father, Hiroki, in the drama. He has already made numerous appearances in the Korean entertainment industry, being an actor representing Japan, as he starred in 100 movies and 10 dramas, such as 700 Days of Battle: Us VS. The Police, Shall We Dance, Water Boys, and This Sunday.
This highly anticipated drama will air towards the end of this year and will be about the events that unfold after sudden reappearance of an astronomical and uncountable amount of money that was long lost after the Korean War.


Oh my God~
I can't believe it. SPEED IS HERE! YEAH!

I have being waiting for ages for SPEED to enter KPOP industries. Its like forever. I mean forever. Until now, I still in disbelieving they are here. Honestly, they are really farmous in JPOP. I am not kidding over here. They had being the legendary "Girls Band". But now you can only watch them through their "LIVE CONCERTS". They always use their real voice to sing in all concerts. They are still very energy ever now. I LOVE SPEED. Since 1998, SPEED has given me the energy that I needed. Their songs are always full of soul and power that makes you feel "ALIVE". After they disband, I was so shocked and after a few months my llife was missing of something. Following down the years, life wasn't the same. There wasn't any song or girls bands or artists to replace them, except for BIG BAND (I still like them. They are digital guys). Searching and waitiing for surch a wonderful band is so hard. I must tell you, I have not bought CDs since then.

Here is a PV of SPEED "Body and Soul  speacial " ENOUGH~

and their lastest  single, "Himawari ~Growing Sunflower~" PV I just Love their Smiles

Rain appears in court personally to clear his name

The sudden cancelation of a concert landed a Korean superstar in a fraud case. The concert organizer demanded through court for a compensation of US$40 million from the singer and his previous managing company.The hearing was held in Hawaii on Wednesday and Rain appeared in court to give his statement.Few days before his Hawaii concert on Jun 15, 2007, Rain suddenly announced that his concert will be canceled. The reason given then was that the stage design done by the organizer was not up to his expectations. The organizer, however, believed that the reason the concert was canceled was because Rain had terminated his contract with his then artiste management company JYP; they felt that finding an excuse to cancel the concert is an act of fraud.Though the case was previously trialed in Korea and Rain was found not guilty, the organizer felt that they had been interfered by Rain's representing lawyer at that time and thus requested for him to be in court personally for the trial in Hawaii. The court hearing is currently ongoing till Mar 18. According to reports, Rain has also freed up early March to attend court personally, hopefully the court will clear his name and end the two-year case.

Rain’s Canceled Concert “Cost $1.5 Million”, Saturday March 14, 2009 Korea

In a Wednesday trial at a Hawaii court, President Lee Seung-su of Click Entertainment, who is battling in court with the singer, said a Rain concert that was canceled cost his company $1.5 million.He cited damage both financially and in regards to reputation, but that Rain and his aides did not apologize even once, calling such an attitude embarrassing and dishonest.Click purchased the copyright to the concert slated for June 2007 and argues that Rain and his former agency JYP canceled the show just one month before the concert date, taking $500,000 in copyright fees. Click filed a suit in Hawaii requesting $40 million in compensation.In the Wednesday trial, a Click spokesman said, “Rain and his 90 group members didn’t properly file for a visa, meaning they had no intent to perform in Hawaii. Rain took issue with the stage facility, but the stage set met all requirements stated in the contract.”Lawyers for Rain and JYP said, “Click signed a deal not with us but with Revolution Entertainment, which owned the copyright to the concert. The suit should not target us.” During Rain’s world tour, JYP sold the right to Rain’s North America concerts to Revolution.Rain’s attorney said, “The stage facility didn’t live up to the level of Rain’s performance. He needed huge LED backdrop lights, a waterfall, fireworks, a protruding stage and five elevators. Rain is a fine singer but he needs the appropriate props.”The Hawaii concert to be held at Aloha Stadium was planned as the first leg of the “Rain’s Coming” North America tour. It was canceled abruptly just days before the even, to the disappointment of Rain’s Hawaiian fans.

K-pop Stars Go Overseas

As record sales continue to drop, it is no wonder why Korean pop stars are increasingly going overseas to find new markets for their music. Male pop stars Rain and Se7en, as well as female singers Lim Jeong-hee, Min, G-Soul and Yangpa are preparing to debut in the U.S. Super Junior and Fly to the Sky are holding overseas concerts, while Big Bang and SG Wannabe are making their debut in Japan this year. Boa and TVXQ, known as Tohoshinki in Japan, have concentrated on activities in Japan last year. BoA is one of the most popular J-pop singers, while Tohoshinki is attracting many Japanese fans. According to Japan's Oricon charts 2007 year-end rankings, Boa's album ``Made in Twenty'' ranked 31, selling 340,093 copies. Tohoshinki's album ``Five in the Black'' sold 37,686 copies in Japan (ranked 294). Both albums are also available in Korea. Tohoshinki's album sold 28,484 copies in Korea, while Boa's sold 17,482 copies. Because Tohoshiki's album is considered a ``foreign album,'' it was the second best-selling foreign album in Korea in 2007.

JYP Thinks Rain is a Failure?

The Clouds are up in a storm because of Park Jin Young's (JYP) recent interview with GQ Magazine where he showers Rain (Bi) with negativity.The Clouds (Rain's fans) were upset when JYP said, "If you compare the Wonder Girls vs Rain, 1/3 of Wonder Girls music income is more than half of Rain's music income." He continued, "Wonder Girls profits are high with low promotional costs and they have a hit song. On the other hand, you have Rain with high promotional costs and no hit songs at all."The Clouds are thundering JYP with expletives and are labeling him an egomaniac. What makes matters worse is that today is Rain's 26th birthday.It's a Wonder, if this will strain the relationship between the two bitches Girls. Musically, both Rain and the Wonder Girls are at the bottom of the barrel. At least the Wonder Girls are SO HOT... well at least Yoobin.
