ELLEGARDEN Lyrics
I was what I thought
That's what I thought I was
Nothing's very new
But who cares about that now
Mankind
Tower lift
Not giving up the faith
My head is so unplugged
I just don't get this
※Just don't bring me down
We have to get through
We are not trying to get it right
We are just dying to hold it tight
Just can't give you up
We have to get through
Nothing I can give in now
What a good day※
Ash
Dust
Beautiful face
Tied up both of my hands
Breaker falls too soon
But kind of boring now
Mars falls
Devastate
And over-cooked bacon
My head is so confused
I just can't get this
(※)
Now I want to be out here
Stupid wise
Proud ashamed
Well you know
How much it will cost you getting back
Unnecessarily jumping around like a frog
If something's going wrong
It's none of your concern
The water is about to blow
Unsocial smiley face
There's nothing I can do
I just don't get this
(※)

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.

YO YO
I was what I thought
That's what I thought was
Nothing's very new
But who cares about that now
僕は自分が思っているような人間
それが自分で思ってた僕だった
特に目新しいことなんてないよ
でも誰が今更気にするってんだ
Mankind
Tower lift
Not giving up the faith
My head is so unplugged
I just don't get this
人類
タワーリフト
理念を捨てないでいる
僕の頭はコンセントが抜けてて
こんなの分かんないんだよ
Just don't bring me down
we have to get through
We are not trying to get it right
We are just dying to hold in now
Just can't give you up
We have to get through
Nothing I can give in now
What a good day
これ以上落ち込ませないでくれ
僕らはなんとか乗り越えないといけない
何かを正そうなんて気はないよ
必死にしがみついてるだけ
君のことが諦められないんだ
僕らはなんとかやってのけないといけない
屈服はごめんだね
なんていい日だ
Ash
Dust
Beautiful face
Tied up both of my hands
Breaker falls too soon
But kind to boring now
灰
塵
美しい顔
縛られた僕の両手
ブレーカー落ちんの早すぎ
でもなんだか飽きてきたね
Mars falls
Devastate
And over-cooked bacon
My head is so confused
I just can't get this
火星が落ちる
荒れ果てる
焼きすぎたベーコン
僕の頭は超混乱してる
こんなの分かんないんだよ
Now I want to be out here
Stupid wise
Proud ashamed
Well you know
How much it will cost you getting back
こっから出て行きたい
馬鹿な賢者
誇れよ恥知らず
なぁわかってくれるだろ
戻ってくるにはすごいかかるんだ
Unnecessarily jumped around like a frog
If something's going wrong
It's none of your concern
蛙みたいに不必要に跳ね回ってる
なんかがおかしくなったって
あんたが心配することじゃない
The water is about to blow
Unsocial smily face
There's nothing I can do
I just don't get this
水がいまにも吹き出しそう
社会性のない笑顔
僕に出来ることはなにもない
こんなの分かんないんだよ
Just don't bring me down
we have to get through
We are not trying to get it right
We are just dying to hold in now
Just can't give you up
We have to get through
Nothing I can give in now
What a good day
