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.

She answered on the phone
"Thanks for the invitation, but I don′t remember you"
"It's been a while"
He answered on the phone
"I am so sorry, but I don′t think I can go"
All right
You buy your house I will buy my guitars
Now I don't trust anyone but us
Nothing more to say
Not to be superstitious
Don't trust anyone but us
Nothing more to say
Just don′t be superstitious
I am still fighting
I will never say
"I am dying cause you are not coming" or
"I am dying cause you don′t hear me" or
"I am dying cause you are not here to see me"
I don't trust anyone but us
Nothing more to say
Not to be superstitious
Don′t trust anyone but us
Nothing more to say
Just don't be superstitious
Don′t trust anyone but us
Nothing more to say
Not to be superstitious
Don't trust anyone but us
Nothing more to say
Just don′t be superstitious
I am still fighting
The lyrics of "Don't Trust Anyone But Us" by ELLEGARDEN are about the strong bond between two people, who have each other's support, even in difficult times. The song talks about a phone conversation between a man and a woman, where the woman doesn't remember the man, and the man declines an invitation to something. The song then goes on to say that they will continue with their own pursuits, such as the man working while the woman sings her songs, and they will trust only each other. The repetition of the phrase "Don't trust anyone but us" highlights the deep trust and reliance they have on each other.
The chorus of the song focuses on not being superstitious and putting faith in their own abilities and their relationship, rather than relying on external forces to determine their fate. The lyrics convey a strong message of independence, as they refuse to depend on anyone else but themselves for their success and survival. The final line, "I am still fighting," suggests that the couple has faced challenges and obstacles, but they continue to fight to overcome them, together.
