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 ↴
また明日 それじゃね
何度もつぶやく 繰り返しつぶやく
ちょっと疲れたよ
眠っていいかな
ちょっといかれてる
ぐらいがいいんだってさ
明日は少しだけ
君ならなんて言うんだろうね
さよなら おやすみ
また明日 それじゃね
何度もつぶやく 繰り返しつぶやく
明日は少しは ましだと思うから
シーツにくるまって 少し眠るよ
It's not that big deal
I'm just waiting for you
to call me up
To tell me I'm not alone
To tell me I'm not alone
ただ
捨てれば楽になるなんて
聞くんだけど
君ならなんて言うんだろうね
さよなら おやすみ
また明日 それじゃね
何度もつぶやく 繰り返しつぶやく
さよなら おやすみ
また明日 それじゃね
ベッドは広くて 外はもう明るい
The lyrics of "oyasumi" by ELLEGARDEN are about bidding goodbye and goodnight, with the hope to be a better person the following day. The first and second lines of the song translate to "goodbye, goodnight" and "see you tomorrow, bye" respectively. The singer then starts to utter words to himself repeatedly, feeling tired and wondering if he can go to sleep. He wonders if he's a bit crazy, but he thinks it's better to be a little crazy. The following day, he hopes to be a better person and wonders what the person he's talking to would say. Despite everything, he's waiting for a phone call to assure him that he's not alone.
The singer then talks about how people say that they could feel relieved if they just throw away their problems, but he's not sure what the person he's talking to would say. He concludes by saying goodbye and goodnight again, and describing how his bed is vast and the outside is already bright.
Overall, the lyrics of the song convey a sense of fatigue, confusion and loneliness which are relatable themes. The song describes the desire to be a better person, but the fear of failing, which is a common struggle for many people.
