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 ↴
The good days I was in
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
I was meant to be
Next to you always
That was my reply
But something I have done has
Split us apart
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 place we were meant be
The lyrics of ELLEGARDEN's song "So Sad" are about a longing to go back to a time when the singer and their significant other were happy together. The song begins with the singer waking up from a dream of a happy time, where their partner cooked them breakfast, and they were sure that their love would last forever. However, something the singer has done has split them apart, and they are now longing for their partner to come back to them. They dream of their partner and still believe that they belong together, and they refuse to give up on their love, even if someone new appears. The singer discovers a photograph of themselves and their partner, leading to sorrow and a desire for their relationship to return to the place where it was "meant to be."
The singer's voice conveys a deep sense of sadness and regret, as the lyrics showcase the intense emotions and thoughts of someone who wishes to undo their past actions to have a chance to be with their partner again. The song's theme of longing for a time when they were both happy demonstrates the pain and regret of losing someone they still love. This feeling is amplified by the chorus, where they restate their wish to be with their partner even "until they die."

I woke up from the dream of
I became aware of the reality from a blissful sequence of events I wished to be true
The good days I was in
The period of time when everything was perfect
I took you home and
I brought you with me to my place
You slept next to me
You lay down beside me, providing me comfort and warmth
In the morning I could smell
I could sense the aroma of
The eggs you cooked for me
The dish you prepared for me as a kind gesture
We were sure it'd last
We had faith that it would endure
Until we die
For the rest of our lives
You asked me if I'd ever leave
You inquired if I would abandon you
I was meant to be
It was my destiny
Next to you always
Beside you for eternity
That was my reply
That was my response to your question
But something I have done has
However, a mistake I made, a choice I took, a word I said has
Split us apart
Separated us from each other
And you are never
And you won't ever
Coming back to me again
Returning to my side again
I'm dreaming of you and
I still have dreams with you in it and
I still think you're mine
I still believe you're mine
I'm waiting for you and
I'm still hoping for a chance for us to be together and
I never give up
I won't relinquish my pursuit
No matter who appears
Regardless of who comes into my life
I won't forget
I will remember
I wish you knew that I'm yours
I long for you to know that I belong to you
Until I die
Until my last breath
Today I found the photograph
Today I discovered a photo of us
Of you and me
Of when we were together
I'm so sad
I'm feeling a deep sorrow
Can I rewind all our time
Can I go back to the past and redo everything?
And put it back
And restore it to the way it supposed to be
To the place we were meant be
To the time and place where we were destined to be together
