Rain sings "Too Much" with popular Japanese singer AI

Rain will be presenting a duet with popular Japanese singer, Ai. This is the second time he is participating in a friendly collaboration after his last project, "Perfect Interaction", with Taiwan singer Lee Hom.
JYPE, the agency which Rain is under expressed on the 17th this month, "Rain appeared in popular Japanese R&B singer's album launch party, 2006 AI Odyssey", at a certain club in Tokyo on the 16th." AI introduced Rain as Asia's mega-star from Korea during her launch party. And invited him onstage. Rain and AI are presently the top stars in Korea and Japan respectively. On the day of the launch, they performed their new duet, "Too much", which is written by JY Park, and may be released in AI's single.

According to JYPE, Rain recorded the song, "Too Much" with AI under the supervision of producer JY Park when he was in Japan for his promotional activities in January this year. "Too Much" has a strong beat to its melody and reminds one of the song "Scream" sang by the Jackson siblings.

Rain says, "AI is a very straightforward singer. She doesn't even avoid questions about whether she has a boyfriend or not. We've agreed to have more musical interactions starting from this collaboration. AI loves Korean food, and I've promised to find a n opportunity to fry Korean pancakes (me: I뭢 not sure about this dish) for her."

AI responded, "Two years ago, I saw Rain on a music channel and was deeply attracted. Last year, when Rain came to Japan to attend the MTV VMAJ 2005 event, I was happy to be able to present him with an award. It's my honour to work with him this time round."

AI is an R&B singer with mixed heritage. Her mum is American while her father is Japanese. She has many fans in Korea. The song "Too Much" which she sang with Rain will be released in her single on the 19th next month.

At the same time, Rain will be rushing back to Beijing, China on the 17th for his endorsement activities for Japan cosmetic brand, DHC.
