ELLEGARDEN is a punk band that announced a hiatus in 2008 but resumed activities in 2018.

This song is included on the album “BRING YOUR BOARD!!,” which is considered the most consciously Japanese among the band’s works, despite their many English lyrics.

Incidentally, “Jitterbug” refers to the jive dance, though some say the name was taken from a fishing lure product.

The first single from the rock band ELLEGARDEN, whose popularity could now be called legendary.

While many bands sing in katakana-style English, they delivered rock with English lyrics in precise, polished pronunciation—seriously cool.

It was used as the commercial song for TOYOTA’s “Young Campaign TOYOTA HEART LABEL.”
