ELLEGARDEN’s classic and popular songs (51–60)
Mountain TopELLEGARDEN
A four-piece rock band that influenced countless other bands in their first decade and has continued to enjoy overwhelming support since their return, ELLEGARDEN released this digital-only single in 2022.
It was a lead track ahead of their sixth album and, as the band’s first new song in 16 years, became a major talking point.
The arrangement delivers both the sound fans expect from ELLEGARDEN and a sense of evolution, and together with its lyrical melody, it’s the kind of track that boosts your spirits just by listening.
It’s also great to sing at karaoke—a number that embodies the timeless cool of rock.
Strawberry MargaritaELLEGARDEN
“Strawberry Margarita,” a track included on their sixth album The End of Yesterday—their first album in about 16 years counting from before their hiatus—kicks off with a tension-raising intro that features a hefty yet textured guitar sound.
The all-English lyrics and brisk tempo feel challenging in true ELLEGARDEN fashion, but the melody itself has a narrow range and little inflection, making it quite approachable for karaoke.
It’s a refreshing, high-energy tune whose wistful melody feels great to sing.
WinterELLEGARDEN
ELLEGARDEN, affectionately known as Ellegarden or Ellegarden (Elre), broke roughly a decade of silence to restart in 2018.
Among their songs are ones that perfectly fit each of the four seasons, and, as the title suggests, “Winter” is a track I highly recommend for the wintertime.
The crisp, dry drum sound really captures a winter vibe.
The moment when the rhythm shifts into the chorus is irresistibly powerful.
Their other winter song, “Santa Claus,” is also essential for any winter playlist, so be sure to give it a listen!
Jitter pugELLEGARDEN
ELLEGARDEN, a band that’s been loved for years under the nickname “Ellegar,” has a signature song called “Jitterbug,” which is hailed as a classic that left its mark on Japan’s punk rock scene.
Its simple, straightforward structure makes it instantly catchy and easy to remember.
It’s also popular among cover bands and has influenced a wide range of artists.
ELLEGARDEN’s classic and popular songs (61–70)
Lost WorldELLEGARDEN
The song “Lost World,” included on the 3rd album Pepperoni Quattro.
It opens with an ear-catching guitar riff and moves into an arrangement with a driving, brisk beat that really boosts your energy.
While the overall tempo is fast, the melody is relatively relaxed and the vocal range isn’t very wide, so it’s easier to sing than you might imagine.
There’s an English section partway through, but most of the lyrics are in Japanese, which also makes it easier to tackle.
It’s a rock tune I highly recommend choosing for karaoke.
Lost & FoundELLEGARDEN
ELLEGARDEN, which left an indelible mark on Japan’s rock scene since the 2000s, went on hiatus in 2008 and was spoken of as a near-legendary presence.
In 2018, however, they resumed activity, delighting both longtime fans and younger music lovers who became fans during the hiatus.
On December 21, 2022, they drew attention again with the release of their long-awaited new album, The End of Yesterday, their first in about 16 years.
Their first-ever documentary film, ELLEGARDEN: Lost & Found, has been streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video since November 25, 2022.
It’s packed with valuable footage, including the background leading up to their return, remarkably candid and in-depth content, and heartfelt interviews from other prominent artists about their love for ELLEGARDEN.
For fans, it’s unquestionably a must-see!
My Friend Is Falling DownELLEGARDEN
It’s included on their second album released in 2003.
True to ELLEGARDEN’s style, the lyrics are in English, and they’re about comforting a friend after a breakup.
I felt the melody is simple yet a very straightforward song that pierces the heart.
