Because of this, I think I need to track back everything that I knew and had not known yet, about Taru. Swear my deduction skill has highly increased after all the hangul.
Can you believe, I started to know Taru because Micky Yuchun, the JYJ boy, made public his current playlist around 1 year ago? His playlist leaded me to one of the artist in How to Fall in Love: When Pastel meets TVCF album. And then it leaded me to Taru, one of the artists in that album with her song Love Today. Since that I have been following Taru, and always interested in every song she put out.
Taru is the vocalist of a trio band, The Melody. The Melody was formed in 2003, and released its 1st full length album in 2007, 1st 집 The Melody. This band made some of OSTs for Coffee Prince 1st Shop, K drama airing in the same year with 1st 집 The Melody album release. Goodbye, one of the OSTs, is included in 1st 집 The Melody album. But you should check the other Coffee Prince 1st Shop OSTs by The Melody, Polly and La, La, La, It's Love. They are good! They give away the light breeze vibe, if you know what I mean J I think partially because of the unique Taru’s voice (or my K drama obsession bias :P )
Talking about Taru’s music, I always had this kind of thought that her music is electric pop. Her singles before 100 Percent Reality album (I have not listened Taru’s 1st full length album yet) always sound fun and cheerful plus with the lyric adding the fun. I just love them. Check Love Today and its lyric. Oh no the song is talking about me? (lol). Her single Bling Bling gives me the inspiration for my blog description : D (Bling, Bling, can you believe? The shine from Tokyo to Seoul …) with a little bit twist. And 예뻐할께 I'll Be Pretty single reminds me my K drama bliss (a sort of).
And another interesting fact is she sings many television commercial film (TV CF) jingles. Bling Bling is for LG Lovely Pink cell phone commercial film. Many people like the song, thus Bling Bling digital single was released. Love Today is for 연꽃씨차 우연, an anti aging tea commercial film starred by Sung Yuri (Romance Town, Hong Gil Dong, Snow Queen). 사랑에 빠진 딸기(sarange ppajin ttalgi) I Love You, Missing Strawberry is for Baskin Robin Ice Cream commercial film, it is just perfectly match because with Taru’s voice the song sounds cutely childish. And not forget The Melody also has several TV CF song under its belt. Its song Remember is a song for Danish yogurt commercial film. In fact the whole album of How to Fall in Love: When Pastel meets TVCF is intended for the artistes under Pastel Music label who ever sing for TV CF. Maximilian Hecker, Sentimental Scenery, Humming Urban Stereo, Yozoh are among the artist in the album. I think some endorsement, one or two, three TV commercials are important for Korean artist, pop or indie. It can double up their income or even bring bigger income than record selling or music performance. So if k pop idols can sell their image and popularity for advertisement, these indi artistes can sell…..their music. Good strategy. How to fall in Love: When Pastel meets TVCF contains 5 CDs, and it is good, you should check that one out too J
Back to Taru, so I was a bit surprised with 100 Percent Reality album. It is “pure” pop and ballad, through and through. No fun electric pop song? I feel like I deconstruct my perception about Taru’s music. It contains 11 songs. 여기서 끝내자 (Yeogiseo kkeutnaeja) Let’s End Here, in which she duets with Zitten (짙은) is the title song of the album. I get that it’s title song, but does it have to be 4 version of the song in one album? *rolling eye* It is like the “reprise” version songs from Urban Zakapa latest album. The songs are different but not that much different, and I don’t get the “reprise” meant (Having looked the dictionary and googling too just check if I miss something). And 여기서 끝내자 has the original duet version, band version, solo version, and radio edit version. She does another collaboration with Sentimental Scenery in 이슈 Issue. 아이스크림가게, 팬시보이Ice Cream Parlor, Fancy Boy is one I like the most, it is just fun, fun, fun. And my second favorite is the title song, ha, ha, ha in solo version or emm I have to figure the version out yet :P Except 아이스크림가게, 팬시보이Ice Cream Parlor, Fancy Boy, all the songs in the album sound a bit sad to me. Is it 100 Percent Reality title all about? 1 fun, 10 (a bit) sad? We all know how the reality is.
And the lyrics, let's sing!

난 그대에게 빠졌죠.
Nan geudae ege bbajyeotjyo
I fell for you
ice cream parlor fancy boy

하지만 깊어질수록
Hajiman kipeo jilsurok
But the deeper it grows
우리는 실망하게 되겠죠.
Urineun silmanghage dweigetjyo
The more we get disappointed
떨어져있을 이유를 찾으며
Tteoreo jyeoisseul iyureul chajeumyeo
Looks for reason to go away and
말을 하지 않겠죠.
Mareul haji ankejyo
Not to say a word
난 겁이나요.
Nan geopinayo
I get scared
but i need love you
every day & every night
but i don't know you
every day & every night
but i need love you
every day & every night
but i don't know your
every day & every night
The lyric isn't that happy heh, 0 fun, 11 (a bit) sad, 100 Percent Reality then ;)

난 너 때문에 자고, 너 때문에 깨고, 너 때문에 웃나봐.

참 신기해 사랑이란 medicine
Cham singihae sarangiran medicine
Sorry because my limited Korean, I can't translate the last rap part. I have tried. but when I read again, it didn't look so well, so I left it untranslated. This is the longest lyric, I have ever translate *pyuh*
