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.
So Sad
ELLEGARDEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I took you home and you slept next to me
In the morning I could smell the eggs you cooked for me
We were sure it'd last until we die
You asked me if I'd ever leave
I was meant to be next to you always
That was my reply
And you are never coming back to me again
I'm dreaming of you and I still think you're mine
I'm waiting for you and I never give up
No matter who appears I won't forget
I wish you knew that I'm yours until I die
I woke up to the sound of the doorbells ringing
One thing I know is it won't be you
Something I have done has split us apart
And you will never come back to me again
I'm dreaming of you and I still think you're mine
I'm waiting for you and I never give up
No matter who appears I won't forget
I wish you knew that I'm yours until I die
Today I found the photograph of you and me
I'm so sad
Can I rewind all our time
And put it back to the palce we were meant to be
The song "So Sad" by ELLEGARDEN is a heartfelt ode to lost love. The lyrics describe a dream that gives way to reality, where the singer wakes up next to their lover, feeling content and happy. They reminisce about the intimacy of their relationship, recalling little moments like the smell of breakfast and the question of whether they'll ever leave each other. However, this happiness is short-lived when the reality of the situation sets in. Something the singer has done has split them apart, and they know their lover will never return.
The emotional weight of this realization is palpable in the chorus as the singer dreams of a reunion with their lost lover. They promise to wait and never give up on them, even as others come and go in their lives. The lyrics convey deep sadness and regret, with the singer wishing they could turn back time to the place where they were meant to be.
The song's poignant lyrics are accompanied by soaring guitar riffs and a driving beat, which give the song a palpable energy and urgency. The combination of intense emotions and rock instrumentation make "So Sad" a powerful and deeply moving track that speaks to anyone who has ever lost love.
