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.

There ain't no hope
There ain't no right
There ain't no wrong
Just make it loud
Just make it loud
Just make it loud
I feel no touch
There ain't no fate
There ain't no thoughts
There ain't no rules
Spoken words
Broken hearts
Instant dreams
Just let it slide
Wasting time
Just keep it goin' and goin'
Just let it slide
Wasting life
Just keep it rollin' and rollin'
Just make it loud
In your room
Just make it loud
No one cares
And just let it slide
There ain't no pain
There ain't no help
There ain't no doubt
There ain't no name
Just make it fun
Just make it fun

Carry on
There ain't no hate

Empty bowls

Wasting time
Just keep it goin' and goin'
Just let it slide
Wasting life
Just keep it rollin' and rollin'
Just make it loud
In your room
Just make it loud
No one cares
And just let it slide
Now I hear it snows
This year is getting colder
How I feel inside
Losing my concentration
Now I need more time
Somehow I'll make it through
I just need more time
Just let it slide
Wasting time
Just keep it goin' and goin'
Just let it slide
Wasting life
Just keep it rollin' and rollin'
Just make it loud
In your room
Just make it loud
No one cares
And just let it slide

高校の学園祭のライブで聞いた時に雷に打たれたような衝撃を受けてからずっとメロディが忘れられなくて、ずっと探してたけどタイトルが分からなくて見つからなかった。でも今日何気なく見てた日テレのMUSIC BLOODでたまたま流れててやっとタイトルが分かってここに辿り着いた!
@user-fw3tw5qb3c
何年かかった?
@konomaeunko
探索能力低すぎだろ
@sancapivara6365
中学1年生のときにこの曲に出会って、かっこよくて雷が落ちたみたいな衝撃だった。10年以上たってもこれを超えるかっこいいに未だ出会っていない。
@theblackandwhite5016
めっちゃ分かります❗😀僕は大学のときにこの音楽が中古のCDショップから流れてきて、一緒に歩いてる友達に「この曲聞きたいからちょっと待って!」とお願いして一緒に聞いた思い出があります。そこの中古のCDショップも中古なのにそんなに安くなってなかったりして、そういうのもあって印象に残ってます。
@magj56
ほぉ
@tohmakazusa7549
雷が落ちたみたいな感覚、凄く共感できます!
@user-mc4cc3ft4v
僕も中一で出会いました。もうあれから14年以上立ちますいまだに色あせない曲です👍
@Andre-md7jb
自分も中1の頃に初めて好きになった邦ロックがこれ。青春が詰まってて今でも大好きな曲
@st-bf6ql
当時中学3年の時にCDTVで初めて聞いて衝撃を受けた。
高校卒業したらライブ行くぞって思ってたらまさかの活動休止。
30歳になった今でもずっと大好きでハイエイタスやモノアイズなどはライブで見たがエルレはまだ生で見たことが無かった。
活動再開してようやくLost Songs Tour2022のチケット当たった!
やっと見れるー!😂
