Juniel - Illa Illa

Lately, there is a song that I like to listen, repeatedly. The music is very refreshing, a little bit melancholic, but has sweet melody. It's good to listen during free time, and unlike most Korean song that utilise techno and auto-tune technique, this song is composed using guitar, with a little touch of piano (I guess), but overall it is sweet to listen.



따스하게 부는 향기로운 바람 볼에 스치면
Ttaseuha-ge buneun hyanggiroun baram nae du bo-re seuchimyeon nan
Oh, when the wild, unknown flowers bloom hidden on the streets

사랑했던 그대 얼굴이 떠오르죠
sarang-haet-deon geudae eol-ku-ri tteooreujyo
I think of your face that i used to love

길가에 숨어선 이름도 모르는 들꽃이 때쯤엔
Oh ~ gil-kae sumeoseon ireumdo moreuneun deul–ggoti pil ttaecheumen
Oh, when the wild, unknown flowers bloom hidden on the streets

기억 편에 감춰 그대가 떠오르죠
giyeok jeo pyeone kamchwo dun geudae-ga tteooreujyo
I think of you, whom i hide away in my memories


My baby illa illa illa, baby illa illa illa, baby illa illa illa
Never forget love

첫사랑은 아름다워서 첫사랑은 꽃이랍니다
Cheotsarangeun areumdawoseo cheotsarangeun –ggotiramnida
Because first love is beautiful, a first love is a flower

봄이 오면 활짝 피는 눈이 부신 꽃처럼
bomi omyeon hwahlchag pineun o~ nuni bushin –ggotcheoreom
Blooming widely when spring comes – dazzling like a flower

첫사랑은 어린애처럼 첫사랑은 서투릅니다
Cheotsarangeun eorinaecheoreom cheotsarangeun seotureumnida
Like a young child, a first love is inexperienced

사랑을 아낌없이 주고 갖질 못하니까
sarangeurakgimeobshi ju-go kajjil mothanikka
Because you can’t unconditionally give and take love


Illa illa illa, illa illa illa, illa illa illa,

나의 사랑 good-bye
nayesarang good-bye
My love, good-bye



까만 밤하늘에 그려있는 별이 그대 추억 불러오면
Kkaman bamhaneu-re keuryeoi-nneun byeo-ri geudae chu-eok bu-lleoomyeon
When the stars drawn out on the night sky bring up your memories

오랜 일기장 속에서 그댈 꺼내봅니다
oraen il-gijang so-geseo keudael kkeonaebomnida
I take you out of my old diaries

My baby illa illa illa, baby illa illa illa, baby illa illa illa
Never forget love

첫사랑은 아름다워서 첫사랑은 꽃이랍니다
Cheotsarangeun areumdawoseo cheotsarangeun –ggotiramnida
Because first love is beautiful, a first love is a flower

봄이 오면 활짝 피는 눈이 부신 꽃처럼
bomi omyeon hwahlchag pineun o~ nuni bushin –ggotcheoreom
Blooming widely when spring comes – dazzling like a flower

첫사랑은 어린애처럼 첫사랑은 서투릅니다
Cheotsarangeun eorinaecheoreom cheotsarangeun seotureumnida
Like a young child, a first love is inexperienced

사랑을 아낌없이 주고 갖질 못하니까
sarangeurakgimeobshi ju-go kajjil mothanikka
Because you can’t unconditionally give and take love

[Illa illa illa] 그땐 어려서
[Illa illa illa] Keuddaen eoryeoseo
[Illa illa illa] I was young back then

[Illa illa illa] 그땐 몰랐죠
 [Illa illa illa] keuddaen mollat-jyo o~
[Illa illa illa] I didn’t know any better

 [Illa illa illa 나의 사랑 good-bye] 이젠 같은데
 [Illa illa illa nayesarang good-bye]
ijen al keot gateunde
[Illa illa illa illa, My love, good-bye] Now i think i will know


그댈 그리며 불러보죠 illa illa illa illa, illa illa illa
Nan geudael keurimyeo bu-lleobojyo illa illa illa illa, illa illa illa
I call out to you as i draw you out illa illa illa illa, illa illa illa


[illa illa illa illa] Never forget love


첫사랑은 아픈 보면 첫사랑은 열병입니다
Cheotsarangeun apeun geol bomyeon cheotsarangeun yeolbyeon-gimnida
Seeing as a first love is painful, a first love is like a fever

정신 없이 앓고 나면 어른이 되니까요
jeongshin eobshi arhko namyeon o~ eoreuni dwehnikkayo
Because after you are mindlessly sick, you become an adult

첫사랑은 안되니까요 첫사랑은 미련입니다
Cheotsarangeun andwehnikkayo cheotsarangeun miryeonimnida
Because a first love can never be, a first love is lingering attachment

너무나 많이 사랑해서 갖질 못하니까
neomuna manhi sarang-haeseo kajjil mothanikka
Because you can’t have it since you loved too much


Illa illa illa, illa illa illa, illa illa illa, 나의 사랑 good-bye
Illa illa illa, illa illa illa, illa illa illa, naye sarang good-bye
Illa illa illa, illa illa illa, illa illa illa, my love, good-bye

Illa illa illa, illa illa illa, illa illa illa, 나의 사랑 good-bye
Illa illa illa, illa illa illa, illa illa illa, naye sarang good-bye
Illa illa illa, illa illa illa, illa illa illa, my love, good-bye


[p/s: This song depicts one's first love as a wild, unknown flower, called Illa. The flower blooms beautifully, but hidden on the street, nobody notices, until it is too late. This clearly shows in the music video, when the girl did not realise the love until it is too late, but till then, she still keep the feeling, hoping that he will realise the answer to the confession made by the boys. The love story symbolises as the unrequited first love due to misunderstanding in youth life or inexperience in love. Well, that says it, but this is just my interpretation; it was just difficult to interpret it literally and generally. Till then.....]

Which Will Be The Next Singer To Win in Music Chart??

Lately, there are many idols debuted, and not little of them won the music chart. Meanwhile, there are several group/singers that do not win any music chart show (excluding the real time chart, digital chart, etc.) until this article is written. Therefore, shall we predict which singer/group will win the music chart show, as recently, there are some moves to abolished music chart show, as opposed to the current format [click here]. It may look like a prediction, but let's just read my suggestion.


EXO-K



Group Name : EXO-K
Debut : April 8, 2012


Another project by SM Entertainment, and their project is always satisfying. Consists of two subgroup, EXO-K and EXO-M (k for Korean; M for Mandarin), this group enters the scene with several trailer posted by the company. Sleek performance, as well as strong fanbase gathered even before their official debut, this group may promise you some excitement; it could be to reminisce the golden age of DBSK, one extravagant group ever produced by SM Entertainment, currently holds the record for most registered fans in Korea; almost 800,000 in Seoul only.


Juniel




Real Name : Choi Jun Hee
Debut : April 29, 2011 (Japan); June7, 2012 (Korea)


Another hottest rookie emerged, giving a different feel in music style. She was occasionally associated with nation's younger sister IU with her guitar playing skill, but unlike IU, her acoustic music is her main genre. Already made names in Japan after winning Japanese audition program "Niji Iro Supernova", she will be the singer expected to win music show sooner.



Ailee



Real Name : Lee Ye Jin
Debut : February 8, 2012


Spend much time of her life in New York, she was not called "Scary Rookie" for nothing. Deep inside her cute, innocent personality, lies her strong, sensual voice that even shatter some of the powerful vocalist in the nation. Only with her debut song "Heaven", she already compete head-to-head with Big Bang for winners of KBS Music Bank K-Chart, which eventually goes to Big Bang. The alarming potential of hers was already noticed when she participate in Chuseok special show held by MBC, "Singer and Trainee", along with her mentor Wheesung. With her cover of Beyonce's "Halo", she mesmerise the viewers and even fellow contestants with her sultry New Jersey style of singing. She will win that's for sure; it's just a matter of when it happens.


B1A4




Group Name : B1A4 
Debut : April 21, 2011


It looks like these boys gained much recognition, thanks to their latest album, "IGNITION". Their lead single, "Baby I'm Sorry" sparked shockwaves along the fans, which composed and written by one of their member, Jinyoung. They might be new, and there is a long way to achieve the winning feat, but as Beast and Infinite, they will follow the suit too.


U-KISS




Group Name : U-KISS
Debut : August 15, 2008 (Japan), August 28, 2008 (Korea)


This group remains one of the oldest boy group that never ever won any music chart show, until now the article is written. They are at a generation of 2PM, SHINee and 2AM, yet they still do not win any. Many hit singles that they have released, such as "Man Man Ha Ni (Am I That Easy)', "Round and Round", "0330" and "Neverland", but neither of them have won. It is hope that they will end the winless streak in music chart, and I believe they will, soon.




[p/s: That's all for today. There are many band that have potential to win, but i just too tired to type anymore. So see you then, and thanks to all the viewers that have encountered across this page. By the way, my post "The 90's Line" have achieved 2570 viewers in just 3 months, and that is an all-time record in my blog, as my post about girl group and boy band idol, which was posted more than 2 years ago, only reached 2467 viewers. Thanks a lot, and what a feat!!!]
