[Rain]&[KMC] : Rain & KCM's The Desire To Speed!

[Rain]: It seems to be colder than it had been two years before.

[KCM] : Feelings of how you feel cold seem to depend on how you feel.

[Rain]: Today is December 2nd. We're certainly having wintry weather today.

[KCM] : It's cold in winter, but please don't just crouch inside the house because it's cold outside.

[Rain]: Please warm up while listening to this show.

[Rain]: You can send your stories and song request to us through SMS #0967 or its Twitter (https://mobile.twitter.com/speeding967) or its message board

[KCM] : Particularly, foreign fans can send their stories and song request to us by email : speedingradio@hanmail.net

[KCM] : When I had trained hard last year at this time, I was anxious for time to move on. I am amazed that I finally made it after all that chaos.

[Rain]: One year has already passed since you completed the course.

[KCM] : That's right.

[Rain]: Congratulations!

[KCM] : Thank you.
----------

04:38~07:07

[Rain]: Listener #9753 - "Something good has happened to my acquaintance these days. She had her third baby in her later years. The baby is a girl. I request Lee Su Young's 'You Were Born To Be Loved'."

Her acquaintance seems to support the national policy in a situation where the low birth rate has recently come to the fore as a serious social issue. Her family is my ideal family. I need my future wife who can have three babies for me. (laughs)

[KCM] : Your ideal woman will appear soon.

[Rain]: Thank you.

[Rain]: I kept singing only 'You Were Born To Be Loved' on the backing track when I was just enlisted.

[KCM] : I think you got treated to Chocopies after the song, right? (laughs)

[Rain]: Never! Who do you think I am? (laughs)

[KCM] : I used to get treated to Chocopies after the song. (laughs) I prefer Chocopie to Mongshel Tongtong because the taste of Chocopie long remains in my mouth. (laughs)

[Rain]: Anyway, I hope the baby will grow up healthy, and I look forward to meeting you (the baby) in ten years time, and I want to be your eternal oppa. (laughs)

(Plays Lee Su Young's 'You Were Born To Be Loved')

-The Song I'd Like To Share-

[Rain]: It's the time to listen to nice music which can help you calm down. This segment is a smash hit, thanks to me. (laughs)

[KCM] : I am at a loss for words. (laughs)

[Rain]: Please introduce The Song I'd Like To Share segment.

[KCM] : The Song I'd Like To Share segment is comprised of three parts. In the first part of the segment, Rain and KCM's songs will play, in the second part, the songs Rain and KCM would like to share will play, and in the third part, the songs listeners would like to share will play.

*Part 1 - Rain & KCM songs *

[KCM] : My 'How Much I Love' about a love affair is recommended.

[Rain]: My 'Him And Me' is recommended. Dynamic Duo participated in it as rappers. This song is one of my favorite songs. It is about three people in a love triangle.

(Rain's 'Him and Me' is played followed by KCM's 'How Much I Love.')
---

[Rain]: I've always been disdainful of KCM, but the more I see of him, the more I like him when he sings. (laughs) I think he has more remarkable singing skills than I thought. (laughs) The distinct singing style KCM has is incomparably better than that of singer Kim Tae Woo who acts big every time he drinks, but in fact he is nothing. (laughs) I hope KCM will show his singing talent by singing songs on TV shows like 'I Am A Singer' or 'A True Classic', etc. after his discharge from the army.

[KCM] : Please don't make me blush. (laughs)

[Rain]: You (KCM) are a singer as good as Park Hyo Shin, and I often saw you showing off your singing ability, waiting my turn during Consolatory Train concerts. I think I've taken no heed of you. (laughs)
We may look shabby (laughs), but if we are dressed up, we can look cool. (laughs)
---
*Part 2 – Songs Rain & KCM would like to share*

[KCM] : Turbo's 'My Childhood Dream'is recommended.
The release of the song created a huge sensation at that time.

[Rain]: Kim Sung Jae's 'So To Speak' is recommended. Kim Sung Jae is my hero forever. He was well-rounded in many fields. It was Kim Sung Jae that first moved me to go solo seriously.
[Rain]: I never get tired of listening to that song.**

(Turbo's 'My Childhood Dream' & Kim Sung Jae's 'So To Speak' {Deux's song/Kim Sung Jae member of the duo are played.)

** {Kim Sung Jae & Lee Hyun Do were the duo known as Deux that sang hip hop in the 1990's. The duo broke up and Kim Sung Jae released his solo album "As I Speak" on November 19, 1995. He did a "comeback" performance on SBS and died the next day, November 20, 1995, at age 23. Originally ruled to be death by heart attack due to overdose, his girlfriend was arrested under suspicion of murder but was later acquitted. The case surrounding his death continues to be known as an unsolved mystery.

It has been noted that during Rain's performance of "Hip Song" on M!Countdown and Music Core in May of 2010, Rain's costume for the performance was similar to that worn by Kim Sung Jae during his performance from "As I Told You." It initially caused controversy until the mother of Kim Sung Jae came forward and publicly thanked Rain: ""The reason of my son's death has been perverted by some media reports and netizens, so it has remained in our family's minds as a bruise, but Rain trying to become a major world star has renewed my son and made a deep impression on my son's fans once again. Many thanks to Rain." [Info on this ~ Credit: TV Edaily || brief translation by rain bird || Source: The Cloud }

*Part 3 – Songs listeners would like to share*

[Rain]: Listener Hasegawakeico - "Hi, Rain and KCM. You two DJs always have such a funny show, which makes me feel better. It is getting colder and colder in Japan. I think the weather in Korea is colder than that in Japan. Please be careful not to catch a cold. I request 2AM's The Best Love."

O-genki desu ka {オゲンキデスカ // How are you?}

[KCM] : Arigatōu gozaimasu! (ありがとうございます) (Thank you) {or thank you very much}

{Uncertain but sounds like Rain tries to teach KCM the proper pronunciation for ogenki desu ka}
---

[KCM] : Listener Kwon So Min - "I feel a bit down today from the gloomy, which ironically reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. I request Mate's 'I Love You'."

[Rain]: Jung Jun Yil is a member of Mate. He appears shabby next to us (Rain and KCM) (laughs), but I think there is no one who can match him in his ability in composing and singing.

(2AM "The Best Love" & Mate's "I Love You" are played.)
----------

16:52~20:49

[KCM] : Listener #9651 - "What do you really like to eat when you are hungry?"

[Rain]: I have a hankering for beef-bone soup or soondae soup or spicy sausage stew, etc. this afternoon. And, adding garlic and spring onions to your food makes it taste better.
---

[Rain]: Listener "Small Eyes R" - "I think your voices relieve my fatigue from the day's work."
---

[KCM] : Listener #3352 - "I didn't know where the remote was this morning. So I'm listening to the radio, instead of watching TV."
---

[Rain]: Listener "Suo" - "I saw members of a volunteer organization making kimchi for the winter in the park near my house. The pungent smell of kimchi made me feel like a starving child."

[KCM] : I know my mother is now making kimchi for the winter, but I'm worried over her illness.

[Rain]: If she is ill, then she must stay in bed.

[KCM] : Maybe my elder sister is helping her.

[Rain]: Hearing what you’re saying, I feel an atmosphere of happy domesticity. My family can't make kimchi for the winter because my mother has passed. Sometimes my father tries to cook, but I hope he doesn't cook because he is bad at cooking.

[KCM] : However, speaking to your dad is the secret to happiness. It is impossible for me to do so because my dad has passed.

[Rain]: There are two inheritances my father hasn't left me. One of the things is my eyelids which don't have creases, and the other one is secret.
---

21:37~24:46

[KCM] : Listener Yasda Akico - "I'm upset because my 13-year-old son is quite naughty and hates studying, but it's a comfort listening to music. I think music has the ability to transcend barriers like nothing else. By the way, What was your childhood like? "

[Rain]: Your son should develop habits of study as what is learned in the cradle is carried to the tomb. You should help your son develop habits of study for two or three hours a day.

[KCM] : I heard you (Rain) were by far the best student.

[Rain]: Actually, I did badly at school, but I began studying hard when I was a sophomore in high school. I was required to study hard for releasing an album from JYP before I debuted as a singer, so I bought excellent reference books in preparing for school examinations in bookstores and memorized the whole contents of the books, but I crammed for the exam. Anyway, I got well over 300 out of 400 in the college scholastic ability test.

[KCM]: My CSAT score is secret. (laughs)
---

[Rain]: Listener #2035 - "I met a long-lost friend by chance in the bus. We promised to keep in touch. But, suddenly I think I wish she were a man."

25:36~29:15

-Talk About Music With Kim Tae Wan-
{Kim Tae Wan aka C-Luv}

[Rain] : Welcome, Kim Tae Wan. I read an article about you who are working on your album.

[Kim Tae Wan]: My album will hit the stands next February.

[Rain] : I really look forward to it.

[Rain] : I think the current trend of music has been changing. The age of the people who have particular tastes in music is on its way. Actually I planned to work with Kim Tae Wan soon after my discharge from the army, but I'm surprised he's already signed with a record label. (laughs)

[Kim Tae Wan]: I can move to delay its decision as to whether I will plan to accept my contract until Rain's discharge. (laughs)

[Rain] : You can do what you will. (laughs). If there is a better chance for my next album, I hope you'll participate in it as a composer. (laughs) I worked in close collaboration with Kim Tae Wan on my song "Love Song."

[Kim Tae Wan]: It only took us ten minutes to complete the song.

[Rain] : This was my first time to complete a song in ten minutes. (laughs)

[Kim Tae Wan]: I never knew that Rain was such a man of impeccably musical sensibility when he was singing the song.

[Rain]: I had to be enlisted while composing a song, and I wanted to collaborate on my new album with Kim Tae Wan. Anyway, I congratulate you on the release of your album, and I hope you'll hit it big.

[Kim Tae Wan]: Thank you.

[KCM] : Congratulations!

[Rain]: Well, how have you been?

[Kim Tae Wan]: I've been getting along OK, working on music.

[Rain]: I think the age of Kim Tae Wan will begin next year.

[Kim Tae Wan]: You're very generous with your compliments.

[Rain]: By the way, could you participate in KCM's album as a composer? Almost every composer tends to be reluctant to talk about how he will participate in KCM's album. (laughs) If you apply your musical style into KCM's singing style, a great synergy effect can be created.

[Kim Tae Wan]: Anytime if KCM needs me, I'll do so.

[KCM]:You’re (Kim Tae Wan) always welcome. And, I understand Rain has created a song for me.

[Rain]: KCM is urging me to give my own to him. (laughs)
---

29:16~

[Rain]: Who is the star of the day?

[Kim Tae Wan]: It's Usher. Usher's "Call Me A Mack" was released in his rookie season. Before going solo, he joined a team called "Nu Beginning" but he was removed from the team due to a shameful thing considered as a bad thing.

{Article read by CloudUnite cites Usher's mom as saying she took him out because, according to her, it was a "bad experience." Unable to find any other information related to what may have occurred.}

After years as a vagabond, he met famous producer L.A. Reid through a TV audition program and passed the audition, and his mother acted in her capacity as his manager. Usher formed a partnership with L.A. Reid after he participated in the OST for a famous movie starring singer and actor Tupac {Shakur}.

[Rain]: At that time, Usher was incomplete and not properly certified.

(Usher's Call Me A Mack is played. {This song is from the OST for "Poetic Justice."} )
---

[Kim Tae Wan]: Usher's real name is Usher Terry Raymond IV, and he was born in Texas in Dallas, 1978. During his childhood, he turned a tune {sang} in church.

There was such a clamor from his grandma that he moved to Atlanta to be a singer. His father left home when he was one year old, and he passed away in 2008.
Usher started working with the famous producer Jermaine Dupri who he had known for a long time, and alliance between the two generated a significant synergy effect. As a result, his album "My Way" was released on September 16, 1997, and his first single "You Make Me Wanna.." from the album had a great resonance with the wider public. Energized by his second single "Nice & Slow's" tremendous popularity, the album sold over six million copies. He has been successful since then.

(Usher's Nice & Slow is played.)

[Rain] : I like to hear him sing, and this song (Nice & Slow) is one of my favorite songs.

[Kim Tae Wan]: After Usher was on board for the opening acts of P.Diddy's concert, he gave his own concert "Live" for the first time in 1999 and began working as an actor at that time. He landed a small part in the 1998 movie "The Faculty." In 2001, Usher began dating a good-looking female Chilli {real name Rozonda Ocelean Thomas}, a member of pop group TLC for about two years. But he got caught while he was getting a little on the side and broke up with Chilli. After that, his single "Pop Ya Collar" was popular in the UK. His breakthrough came on October 7, 2001 with the mega hit album "8701," and "U Remind Me" and "U Got It Bad" from the album were big hits and he walked away with Grammy Awards.

(P.Diddy's "I Need A Girl - Part 1" {Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy, Puff, Puffy and Sean John - real name Sean John Combs} - Usher participated in it as a rapper)
---

[Rain] : I was keeping listening to this song (I Need A Girl) when it was released.

[Kim Tae Wan]: Me too.

[Kim Tae Wan]: In 2007, Usher married his stylist and girlfriend Tameka Foster who is senior to him by ten years.

[Rain]: KCM, is it possible for you to marry a woman who is senior to you by ten years?

[KCM] : Um...

[Rain]: I can marry a woman who is senior to me by ten years or who is twenty years younger than I am. (laughs)

[KCM] : You wolf! (laughs)

[Rain]: I think my strenuous efforts should be properly rewarded and I richly merit such a distinction. (laughs) Sorry. (laughs)

[Kim Tae Wan]: Usher's wife Tameka Foster was a single mother with a boy, but he had two boys with her after their marriage. The couple announced in December 2009 that they were divorcing a few months after she suffered from complications after liposuction was performed on her, and he planned to file for custody of his two children but he settled a custody fight with her over them.

(Played Omarion's "Ice Box : remix version". Usher participated in it as a rapper.)
---

[Rain]: I think Omarion is in a slump recently, but Chris Brown has surmounted some difficult problems and is now doing well. (laughs)

Usher discovered Justin Bieber and helped his debut as a singer, while Scooter Braun working with Usher has been helping Psy move his career as a singer into foreign countries.

[Kim Tae Wan]: Justin Bieber was introduced to Usher by Scooter Braun, and Usher released Justin Bieber's first album in November 2009, giving Justin Bieber his unqualified support. Usher has made a lot of money since then.

[Rain]: Justin Bieber is not only an exceptionally good-looking guy, but he's also an outstanding singer and has a lot of pull, which conditions his success.
Those who have the word "B" in their name, always succeed in whatever they do. (laughs)

(Usher's DJ Got Us Fallin` In Love" is played.)
---

[Rain]: I heard there were a few bad and good aspects about Usher.

[Kim Tae Wan]: Usher's 11-year-old adopted son was brain dead due to an accident on July 8, 2012, but the son died on July 21, 2012. After that, Usher was down and out.

But Usher released his 7th album "Looking 4 Myself" in collaboration with Jermaine Dupri in 2012, and participated in a singer's album as a composer.
Usher has accumulated great wealth by recruiting singers since he signed a contract with a new record label and by partially owning a basketball team called Cleveland Cavaliers.

(Usher's Scream is played.)
---

[Rain]: Thank you for coming in today.

[Kim Tae Wan]: I've tried hard to live up to the listeners' expectations, but I wonder whether I've been good.

[KCM] : You've done very well. Thank you so much for coming today.
----------

[Rain]: I think we've had an enjoyable day.

[KCM] : Today seems to be a very meaningful day for us.

[Rain]: Small gifts will be provided for #9753, Kwon So Min, and #7786. Please leave your phone numbers, names, and addresses in private on our homepage.
----------

[Rain]: This has been Jung Ji Hoon.

[KCM] : This has been Kang Chang Mo. Thank you!
