J. Tune Entertainment has announced on the 19th that Rain will be releasing a special album this April. According to J.Tune, this special album will consist of 4 - 5 songs. There are also plans for Rain to release a full-length album latter this year in October. This will be Rain's new work in 1 year and 6 months after his last album, Rainism. Rain had been unable to work on his music in 2009 due to filming and promotion commitments for his Hollywood movie, Ninja Assassin. A J.Tune representative expressed,

"Recording has already been completed for some songs and we are still in the process of collecting songs. The title song will only be decided after we have finished recording all the songs."

Releasing an album in April is a first for Rain. It was revealed that Rain wanted to release the album in April to mark the feelings that he had when he initially debuted in April 2002. So to Rain, this is a pretty meaningful album. As for future plans, the representative added,

"Rain has already completed his Asia tour in January but there are plans for an encore concert elsewhere. We are also in the process of choosing drama scripts for Rain's return to the small screen in the latter half of 2009."
