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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
興味すらないよ
争いのわけや 勝利の行方
僕が知りたいのは
そんな大それたことじゃなくて
僕らの両手はどこまで伸ばせば
誰かに触れるかって
運がいいだとか 僕が悪いとか
この星の未来 生きていく意味
僕が知りたいのは
そんな大それたことじゃなくて
そんなありふれたことでもなくて
僕らの両手はどこまで伸ばせば
誰かに触れるかって ねえきっと
僕らの右手はどこまで上げれば
誰かに見えるかって それだけ
何一つ知らない僕らは
ただひとりじゃなきゃいいんだ
僕らの両手はどこまで伸ばせば
誰かに触れるかって ねえきっと
僕らの右手はどこまで上げれば
誰かに見えるかって それだけ
僕らはただ
ひとりじゃなきゃいいんだ
The lyrics of ELLEGARDEN's song "Migite" reflect a profound contemplation on the complexities of human relationships and the pursuit of meaning in life. The opening lines express a disinterest in labels of good and bad, emphasizing that what the singer truly seeks to understand is not grand notions of conflict or victory, but rather the simple act of human connection. The mention of stretching one's hands to touch another person highlights a yearning for genuine connection and the acknowledgment that luck or blame hold little significance in this pursuit.
The lyrics further delve into the theme of existential questioning, as the singer considers the future of our world and the meaning of living. Again, the focus remains on the desire for connections that transcend the trivialities of success or failure. The repetition of the imagery of extending one's hands to touch someone emphasizes the fundamental human need for companionship and understanding, underscoring the significance of even the most ordinary gestures in fostering bonds between individuals.
The lines "何一つ知らない僕らは ただひとりじゃなきゃいいんだ" (We who know nothing, as long as we are not alone) encapsulate a sense of vulnerability and the shared experience of uncertainty and loneliness. The singer articulates a longing for companionship and solidarity in the face of life's mysteries and challenges, suggesting that the presence of others is a source of comfort and reassurance amidst the unknown.
In the final repetition of the chorus, the lyrics emphasize the simplicity of the desire to be seen and touched by others, highlighting the universal need for connection and acknowledgment. The closing lines, "僕らはただ ひとりじゃなきゃいいんだ" (We just want to not be alone), encapsulate a poignant truth about human existence – that amidst all our questions and uncertainties, the presence of others to share in our journey is what truly brings meaning and solace to our lives. ELLEGARDEN's "Migite" conveys a heartfelt message about the power of human connection and the beauty of shared experiences in navigating the complexities of existence.
