ELLEGARDEN’s classic and popular songs (41–50)
Sliding DoorELLEGARDEN
It’s included on their first album, “DON’T TRUST ANYONE BUT US.” The introspective lyrics and the strained, anguished vocals leave a strong impression.
From the opening guitar arpeggios to the heavy full-band sound, it’s a track that lets you enjoy a dynamic contrast between quiet and loud.
Mouse MoldingELLEGARDEN
It’s included on their second mini-album, “My Own Destruction.” A track with a thrilling sense of speed and a catchy melody that feels great.
The lyrics are entirely in English, but they’re packed with jokes that will make you chuckle, so I recommend reading the Japanese translation.
ringELLEGARDEN
This is their second single.
It’s a heartrending song about thinking of a former lover.
A ballad characteristic of early ELLEGARDEN that invites careful listening.
The melody line is beautiful, and vocalist-guitarist Takeshi Hosomi’s emotive singing resonates with poignant sorrow.
FlowerELLEGARDEN
“Hana” is a track included on ELLEGARDEN’s debut album “ELLEGARDEN,” released in 2001.
It’s a love song tightly packed with a sense of heartache.
The melody is gentle and matches the title “Hana” (Flower) well.
The lyrics are sung with thoughts of someone who is no longer here, and they also portray a perspective from an unnamed flower that always sat by the window.
BRING YOUR BOARD!!ELLEGARDEN
This is ELLEGARDEN’s second album, released in July 2003.
It became their first work to enter the top 100 on Japan’s Oricon album chart.
It features many enduring fan favorites, including Jitterbug, Venus, and No.13.
Its positive, energetic vibe grabs listeners and never lets go.
It’s an album we highly recommend even to younger listeners who may only know their 2022 release, The End of Yesterday.
Alternative PlansELLEGARDEN
This song builds a distinctly ELLEGARDEN-like form, combining a warm melody reminiscent of a Christmas tune with an intense band sound.
People can’t help but think, “If only I had done this back then,” but this is a warm number that stands beside those feelings.
After all, there’s no such thing as another life.
CuomoELLEGARDEN
It is included on their second album, “BRING YOUR BOARD!!” The title was taken from Rivers Cuomo, the vocalist of Weezer, whom vocalist and guitarist Takeshi Hosomi greatly admires.
There’s also a story that when Rivers appeared on Hosomi’s radio show, Hosomi revealed the existence of the song to Rivers himself.
