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 ↴
君を僕は眺めているよ
時を止めるための魔法さ
ティダ・ラ・バダ
We get it, get it, go
あの角にあったチーズケーキ・ファクトリー
二人で行ったホラームービー
たまにふっと
あとになって思い出して
いまの君と探す旅へ
あれからずっとそのままで輝いてる
路面電車のレール蹴って
今日はどこを探検しようか
夢が続くための祈りさ
ティダ・ラ・バダ
We get it, get it, go
あの角にあったチーズケーキ・ファクトリー
二人で行ったホラームービー
何もなくって笑った日を
たまにふっと
あとになって思い出して
いまの君と探す旅へ
あれからずっとそのままで輝いてる
そこに行けば咲いている
名前のない花
今夜は摘んで帰るよ
窓に飾ろう
まわれまわれ 僕らを置いて
君と僕の時は止まるよ
ティダ・ラ・バダ
We get it, get it, go
この角にあったチーズケーキ・ファクトリー
二人で行ったホラームービー
何もなくって笑った日を
たまにふっと
あとになって思い出して
いまの君と探し出して
あれからずっとそのままで輝いてる
The lyrics of ELLEGARDEN's song "Cheesecake Factory" paint a vivid picture of nostalgia and bittersweet memories. The singer reflects on a past moment with someone special, symbolized by the image of walking ahead slightly and gazing at the person they cherish. There's a sense of longing to stop time and preserve that magical connection with the line "for the sake of stopping time, Tida La Bada." The repetition of "We get it, get it, go" hints at the urgency to hold onto fleeting moments.
The mention of the Cheesecake Factory on the corner evokes a specific memory shared by the singer and their companion, perhaps a date filled with laughter and simplicity after watching a horror movie together. The lyrics convey the sentiment of looking back on those carefree days and fondly remembering them from time to time, as they embark on a new journey with the present version of their companion, shining brightly in their memories.
The imagery of kicking the rails of a tram and contemplating where to explore next reflects a sense of adventure and spontaneity in the relationship. The reference to prayers for dreams to continue serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of cherishing each moment together. The repeated phrase "Tida La Bada" reinforces the idea of seizing the present and moving forward.
The lyrics culminate with a mention of a nameless flower blooming at a specific location, symbolizing beauty in unexpected places. The act of picking that flower to adorn a window signifies a desire to preserve and cherish the transient beauty of life. The closing verses bring the narrative full circle, emphasizing how the shared experiences at the Cheesecake Factory and watching horror movies continue to shine brightly in the singer's memory, capturing the enduring essence of their bond.
