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 ↴
You were the sun to me
I don't know why you're so changed
You were so sweet to me
I wonder why things are not the same today
All I ever wanted was to stay with you till the end
I cleaned up your closet
House holding Mouse molding
I'm messed up
Wash yourself dick
I don't mind no matter what you weight after marriage
I dont' mind no matter if your paycheck is small
I wonder why things are not the same today
You know all I can't bear is your fuckin' attitude
I cleaned up your closet
I washed your dirty cloth too
House holding Mouse molding
I'm messed up
Wash yourself dick
I cleaned up our bedroom
I washed your stinky socks too
House holding Mouse molding
I'm messed up
Wash yourself dick
You were the one I was dying for (only in the past)
You were the one I always wanted (but that's over)
You are pretending to hear me now (alone in the house)
You dont' seem to love me no more
So I don't care about you too
I cleaned up your closet
I washed your dirty cloth too
House holding Mouse molding
I'm messed up
Wash yourself dick
I cleaned up our bedroom
I washed your stinky socks too
House holding Mouse molding
I'm messed up
Wash yourself dick
The lyrics to ELLEGARDEN’s “Mouse Molding” paint a picture of a deteriorating relationship. The singer is struggling to make sense of what has happened to their once loving partnership. The first stanza laments the transformation of their partner who was once their sun and so sweet to them. There is a sense of confusion as to why things are not the same and the singer expresses their desire to stay together until the end. The second stanza seems to indicate that the singer is the one who has been left to do all the work in the house, cleaning up their partner’s closet, washing their clothes and cleaning up the mouse-infested house. There is a note of frustration as the singer tells their partner to wash themselves before using the derogatory term ‘dick’. The third and final stanza reveals that the singer is no longer interested in trying to fix the relationship as they feel their partner no longer loves them.
Overall, the lyrics to “Mouse Molding” describe the breakdown of a romantic relationship, with one partner changing into someone unrecognizable to the other. The frustration and disappointment of being left alone to do everything and being treated with a lack of respect is palpable throughout the song.
