Controversy

On November 24, 2008, The Commission of Youth Protection judged Rain's album, RAINISM, inappropriate for people under 19 years old because of the song "RAINISM".[2] In "RAINISM", the lyrics (translated from Korean) "Trembling inside your shaking body is my magic stick/Feeling the impassable limit of the body shake" became a problem, as "magic stick" would remind of a penis.[3] Rain has re-released a "clean version" of "Rainism" shortly after,[4] but instead of changing the original album's contents, he has labeled a sticker that deemed "Rainism" inappropriate for those under 19 years old.[citation needed]

Releases

RAINISM was released in various formats throughout Southeast Asia. The album was released with a new cover.[5] Each version was released with the original tracklist as well as international versions of his two singles, ″Love Story″ and "RAINISM", in English, Japanese and Chinese.

The album was later re-released in South Korea on the 3rd of March. The album was retitled, RAINISM Recollection and packaged as a limited edition album with new album art.[6] The album was packaged as a three disc album. The first disc containing original track listing (removing the original version of RAINISM and replacing it with the clean version), the second disc included all international versions of his two singles, "Love Story" and "RAINISM", in addition to several bonus acoustic tracks and a remix of the song Fresh Woman. Disc 3 was a DVD including the music video for the first single Love Story.

Singles

Rain released Love Story, as the first single from the album, shortly followed by the single, RAINISM. Both songs were re-recorded in four languages and served as that version for the appropriate country (an English version was issued to SE Asia radio). It was stated that Fresh Woman would be released as a single, but proof of this has not appeared. Rain did start to perform the track, Only You, in support of the re-release of RAINISM in South Korea. However, Only You, is not an official single.

Reception and Sales

Rain finally came back with his fifth album after dedicating himself to a booming movie career. The album sold 300,000 in South Korea and 1.500.000 + All Asia

To promote the release, Rain went on a world tour. The tour started in Seoul and included stops in Japan, China, Singapore, Indonesia and more, for a total of 28 concerts in 9 countries.
