1st Album - N001
|
He sets the big difference from an ordinary new singer and he appeals a great deal of Oriental images with unique charms. He's the newcomer who has a professional mind.
The title song, 'Bad Guy', has the hard Hip-Hop sounds & the powerful vocals. This is a song of 'Park Jin-Young' who is known as the best hit maker. You can feel the heart and soul he put into 10 songs as the prodution period took 2 years. It starts with a woman's sad and near screaming narrations, and followed by the orchestra's tragic sounds and Rain's charismatic voices with a strong Hip-Hop rhtym based on heavy R&B. The exquisite harmony between the greatest powerful masculine image through the strong beat with the harsh breath and the girl's sob sounds makes this song sad and heartfelt.

2nd Album - Rain; [Ίρ]
|
Rain's soft charisma is revived. Rain's 2nd album is going to show the expressive acting with his sensuous voice that couldn't be seen from the 1st album, and also is going to show his unique dance using glasses & clothes.
Rain 2nd's title song, 'Running Away from the Sun' is the splendid Hip-Hop R&B style that has the repetitive code with groove rhtym. The words of this song are very impressive. The sun is illustrated to a woman who broke up with him but he couldn't forget. He wants to forget and avoid her, but still can't erase his memories of loving her. No matter how much he runs away from it, the sun still shines him.

3rd Album - It's Raining
|
The title song, 'It's Raining' is a dance music combined with the Hip-Hop beats of tremendous energy and the analog tone of strong techno sounds. If 'Running Away from the Sun' of Rain's 2nd album is near tender and sensitive R&B, 'It's Raining' is a strong Hip-Hop only for Rain's magnificent stage. It will capture the eyes and ears of the audience with a new powerful dance that Rain developed with his heart and soul for a long time. Park Jin-Young is also quite impressive with his new upgraded sounds and music through the advance into America.

The star on his chest is a symbol of 'war, peace, pain, hope, and love'. Through these conflicating words, he expresses the corrupted world and suggests the curing method.

5th Album - Rainism
|
It takes guts and sheer determination to alter your life trajectory, especially when you're at the top of the game. But that's exactly what Rain did. In November of 2007, Rain left his longtime nest JYP Entertainment and started his own company, J. Tune Entertainment. And now, after establishing worldwide fame through his much publicized 2007 world tour and Hollywood exposure in films like Speed Racer and the upcoming action flick Ninja Assassin, the multi-entertainer returns to home base to release his long-awaited fifth album poignantly titled Rainism. By adding "-ism" to his name, the title promotes a new ideology and concept that capture the essence of who he is and what he represents. Taking full control of the album's entire production, Rain reveals his true colors through his own composition and choice of lyrics, in particular Love Story and September 12th. Composed and arranged by Choi Hyung Joon of V.O.S, Love Story is a pop R&B number that talks about the ugly side of love, surprisingly coming from the singer's own experience. In the song's music video which features actress Ha Ji Won, Rain extends his talent net by orchestrating the full storyline. Moreover, the star upgrades his dance moves by collaborating with world-famous choreographer AJ who previously worked with stars like Usher and Justin Timberlake.

2nd Single - Free Way
|
Asian star - Rain's Japanese Original Single 2 'Free Way'.
He's expanding more into Japan. He collaborated with the R&B artist, 'AI', on her single called 'Too Much'. We can taste two Rains through this album. It's because each song has a different flavor. The first song is the title song, 'Free Way' of Imai Ryoske. 'Free Way' is Rain's J-POP style song. Rain wanted the song to be an easy-listener that people can sing, dance and enjoy together. Therefore he focused on the popularity of the performance. In Korea, he has shown the R&B and Hip-Hop styles, but strong J-POP style like this first try. The performance has a concept of dancing and enjoying with his dancers because the song's cheerful. If 'Sad Tango' appealed with the total body movements, 'Free Way' appeals with his smiling face & his gaze. Pay attention to this J-POP song that brings out Rain's individuality. Another duet song, 'Feel so Right', was an alternate song for the last year's release. This strong R&B song is different from 'Free Way'. 'Feel so Right' evokes a fascinating atmosphere.
Like these, you can feel two sides of Rain.
