Shortly after noon, Rain arrived at NHK safely. I was just thinking, "Rain is now busy with his movie. I wonder if he is tired?" At that moment, I saw Rain greeting the crew members with his usual bright smile. Has he been training during this period of time. He looks fitter than the last time he visited Japan. Looks so energized. The moment he entered the studio, he started rehearsing immediately. Rain has memorised every single word and pronunciation of the lyrics as well as dance movement for his song. All of us were shocked. Turned out he didn't want to disappoint his Japanese fans, so he only slept two hours last night just so he can do a final run-through for his Freeway performance. The people at the TV station were all very concerned about Rain. After this, they immediately travelled to the TV Station for his rehearsal and performance. There were many rooms prepared for Rain, but in the end, he still ran off to the smallest resting room to chat and joke with his dancers. After that, they set off again for NHK. In the resting room, Rain was having sushi, ramen, bento, eel fish cake and continued his rehearsal all the way until it was time for his performance. As Rain was the second last to go on stage, he saw many artistes with their different styles. However, he was actually very nervous, "I wonder if my fans will come today?"

The performance was early by about 10 mins. When it was time for his performance, when Rain stepped onto the stage, the cheering from below the stage was so loud it was never heard of before. Actually, the fans who have come to support Rain today have only heard the teaser version of his single's second song. Cheering him on should be pretty difficult. But who knew the cheers fror Rain would be so loud? After his performance, he expressed happily, "I'm very happy today. Really looking forward to the arrival of next month". On the way back, he started taking photos of himself making funny faces on the bus. He then showed them off to his dancers, and everybody had a good laugh. When the bus was on the roads of Aoyama, he saw a big scooter. He was inside the bus looking out the window like a kid, "Ah...That bike is so cool", "Ah...I want one so much!" and they all started to get all excited in the bus. After this, they had a good dinner at a Japanese eatery and went back to their hotel.
