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.

ELLEGARDEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
誰より悲しい顔を見せるように
疑う心やさまよう指先
迷った分だけ先へ進むんだ
後になってこうだって気づくまで
何度だって奪い合って
朝になってくるまって見上げたら
窓に射す外光
悲しい記憶を許せないように
わかったふりなら出来なくていいさ
笑ったぶんだけ先へ進むんだ
後になってこうだって気づくまで
何度だって奪い合って
朝になってくるまって見上げたら
窓に射す外光
My name is Jack
Just tell me you are ok
My name is Jack
I've been standing next to you

The lyrics to ELLEGARDEN's song "Ash" are rather ambiguous in meaning and can be interpreted in several ways. The song seems to be about a person who is struggling to move on from the past and seeks comfort in the company of others. The opening lines suggest that the person is being dismissed or ignored by someone who uses "beautiful words" to hide their true emotions. The chorus emphasizes the importance of moving forward, even if it means making mistakes or losing things along the way. The singer encourages the listener to embrace pain and sadness as a natural part of the human experience.
The second verse introduces a character named Jack, who seems to be a close friend or confidante of the singer. Jack is portrayed as someone who can help the singer break free from their emotional turmoil and move towards a brighter future. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer has finally found hope and is ready to face the world with a new sense of purpose and resolve.
Overall, "Ash" is a powerful and emotional song that touches on themes of loss, perseverance, and hope. The lyrics are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation, but their underlying message is clear: no matter how hard life gets, we must keep moving forward and never give up on our dreams and aspirations.
