Rain Invited to Perform at Manchester United's Game

Singer Rain has been invited to perform at the pre-match show of the game between the British premier league team Manchester United and Japan's Kashima Antlers on July 28 at 7 p.m. at the Tokyo Yoyoki National Stadium. Some 50,000 spectators are expected to attend the match.

Manchester United, which comprises some of the world's top players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, recently came into the spotlight when Korean soccer star Park Ji-sung joined the team. Rain is likely to meet with Park at the match.

Both the match and the pre-match show will be broadcast live throughout Japan by Fuji TV. The match is expected to record high viewer ratings as Manchester United created a sensation during its previous visit to Japan.

"It is quite rare for Manchester United to hold pre-match shows at goodwill matches. Many top Japanese artists expressed their willingness to perform at the match, but the players and the team's senior officials chose Rain", said JYP Entertainment, Rain's agency.

Rain said he is honored to have the opportunity to perform at the match of Manchester United, as he is a fan of the team, and will do his best to stage a superb performance that will be broadcast to Japan and Europe.

The singer will hold his first solo concert in Japan, entitled "Rain Day In Japan", on July 30-31 at the Tokyo International Forum and Aug. 3-4 at the Osaka Pension Hall.
