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.
Bored of Everything
ELLEGARDEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One thing I crave weekend without computer games
Pull the trigger and kill the zombies
Sorry I'm done
So many things I have let go
No doubt, wanna do something else
I need to find something before I'm bored of everything
No doubt, wanna be someone else
I need to find something before I'm bored of everything
Before I'm bored of everything
Voicemail is full, I know she calls me at home
How much is my car and how much is my gift
Pull the trigger kill the zombies
Sorry I'm done
So many things I have let go
No doubt, wanna do something else
I need to find something before I'm bored of everything
So many things I left undone
No doubt, wanna be someone else
I need to find something before I'm bored of everything
I still can believe when you say "It's not true"
I stlll can believe when you say "It's not too late"
I still can believe when you say "It's not real"
I still can believe when you say "I'm not too late"
So many things I have let go
No doubt, wanna do something else
I need to find something before I'm bored of everything
So many things I left undone
No doubt, wanna be someone else
I need to find something before I'm bored of everything
Before I'm bored of everything
ELLEGARDEN's song "Bored of Everything" is about the feeling of being disillusioned and unsatisfied with the mundane routines of life. The opening line, "Wake up, stand up, I know but for what," highlights the lack of purpose and motivation felt by the singer. He craves a weekend without computer games, suggesting that he's become tired of escapism and yearns for something more fulfilling. The repetition of the phrase "pull the trigger and kill the zombies" could be seen as a metaphor for breaking free from monotony and taking control of one's life. However, the singer ultimately feels defeated by the realization that he has let go of many things and left so much undone. He fears becoming bored of everything and is searching for something to reignite his passion and sense of purpose.
The chorus repeats the sentiments expressed in the verse, emphasizing the singer's intention to find something new and not become complacent. The lines "I still can believe when you say 'It's not true'" and "I still can believe when you say 'I'm not too late'" suggest that he is searching for some kind of hope or inspiration to break out of his disillusionment. By the end of the song, he is still on this journey of self-discovery and change.
Overall, "Bored of Everything" is a relatable anthem for those struggling to find their place in the world and seeking to break free from the monotony of daily life.

RIOT ON THE GRILLからの和訳
起きろ 立ちあがれ
分かってるけどさ 何をしたらいい？
僕が欲しくてしょうがないもの
それはコンピューターゲームをしない週末
引き金を引いて ゾンビをやっつける
ごめんよ もうたくさんだ
たくさんやり過ごしてしまった
マジでなんか違うことをやりたいんだ
全てにうんざりしちまう前に何か見つけなくちゃ
たくさん中途半端にしてしまった
マジで違う人間になりたいんだ
全てにうんざりしちまう前に何か見つけなくちゃ
全てにうんざりしちまう前に
メッセージが溜まってる 分かってる あの子の電話だよ
僕の車はいくらとか 僕のプレゼントにいくらとか
引き金を引いて ゾンビをやっつける
ごめんよ もうたくさんだ
君がこれは本当じゃないって言ってくれるなら信じるよ
君がまだ遅くはないって言ってくれるなら信じるよ
君がこれは現実じゃないって言ってくれるなら信じるよ
君が僕はまだ手遅れじゃないって言ってくれるなら信じるよ
たくさんやり過ごしてしまった
マジでなんか違うことをやりたいんだ
全てにうんざりしちまう前に何か見つけなくちゃ
たくさん中途半端にしてしまった
マジで違う人間になりたいんだ
全てにうんざりしちまう前に何か見つけなくちゃ
全てにうんざりしちまう前に
