It includes drummer Hirotaka Takahashi, vocalist Takeshi Hosomi, guitarist Shinichi Ubakata, and bassist Yuichi Takada. As of May 2, 2008, Ellegarden's leader Ubukata Shinichi announced an indefinite hiatus of the band. All previously decided shows (including shows not yet announced) up until early September 2008 will still be performed. Though they are on hiatus, the vocalist, Hosomi, has repeatedly stated that they will not be breaking up anytime soon, and will be back on the stage performing again in the future.
Soon after the hiatus began, an official announcement was made on the website declaring that all activities of the band had been indefinitely suspended
They are also referred to as ELLE.
ELLEGARDEN has a sound strikingly similar to some American Pop Punk bands, and sings in both Japanese and English. Their English lyrics (mostly written by Hosomi) are usually grammatically correct and generally very well pronounced. In the Summer 2006 issue of American J-rock magazine purple SKY (p.24), Takeshi was quoted as saying his English skills were improved by the time he spent working as a computer engineer in first Oakland, California, and later in Japan where he had English speaking co-workers.
ELLEGARDEN has been compared to famous artists of similar style, most notably Sum 41 (ELLEGARDEN was the band's opening act on February 2005 during the Sum 41 Japan Tour 2005), Blink 182 and Good Charlotte. Their popularity comes from the sounds that they bring and the strong emotions they express. Despite these similarities however, they have a wide range of sounds that don't quite fit into a single style, but encompass a decent range of rock sounds.
In 2006 ELLEGARDEN performed in numerous Japanese Summer Music Festivals, such as FUJI ROCK, SUMMER SONIC, NANO MUGEN FES and RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL.
Their final tour of 2006 features the American band Allister - the bands became friends during SXSW 2006.
It is difficult to get their tour and live tickets because they become sold out in a very short amount of time.
With the international release of their newest album "Eleven Fire Crackers", Ellegarden is quickly growing in popularity - no doubt aided by their recent U.S. gigs.
In 2018, Ellegarden announced their first tour in 10 years, ending their hiatus. The tour, titled "THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN", is to begin in August at Shinkiba Studio Coast, the same venue as their send-off concert.

How We Used To Be
ELLEGARDEN Lyrics
You said you are my match
But I don't think you are
I don't think you get me back
Why don't you see
I have the smallest
interest in you
I don't blame you
for getting mad
You want me so bad
That makes you crazy
But it doesn't matter
'Cause it does not
make any difference for me
Hey break me if you can
You are someone
I don't love until I die
I did but not anymore
Hey break me if you can
You are someone I don't mind
Can't remember how we used to be
I don't think you can imagine
You can't even guess how hard
How hard it was to get over you
You're the one who departed
I was just a kid to believe
Whatever you promised to me then
Now you want me so bad
That makes you sick
So what
Is that my fault
It does not make
any difference for me
Hey break me if you can
You are someone
I don't care until I die
I did but not anymore
Hey break me if you can
You are someone I don't mind
Can't remember how we used to be
It's over
We're done now
Disappointment was
all you gave me
you're gone that day
I felt I died
I burned all your photographs
Are you gonna kill me again
No Way
Hey break me if you can
You are someone
I don't love until I die
I did but not anymore
Hey break me if you can
You are someone I don't mind
Can't remember how we used to be
