ELLEGARDEN Cheer Songs & Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]

The song “Kaze no Hi,” included on their first album “DON’T TRUST ANYONE BUT US,” is an enduring rock tune that drew attention again in 2023—21 years after its release—when it was featured in Lion’s NONIO commercial.

Although an English lyric appears right before the final chorus, most of the lyrics are in Japanese, and with a simple melody and a not-so-wide vocal range, it’s packed with elements that make it easy to sing at karaoke—highly recommended.

Its relatable, positive lyrics and robust sound will lift your spirits; it’s a number that simply feels great to sing.

This song is recommended for high school students who love rock bands! Originally it’s a track by the rock band the pillows, but the version I’m introducing today is the cover by ELLEGARDEN, a group very familiar to high schoolers.

The best part of this song is, without a doubt, its lyrics! When you’re losing confidence in yourself, listening to this song will affirm all the effort you’ve put in so far and gently encourage you, telling you, “You’re the one who will make your dreams come true!!”

This song is one of ELLEGARDEN’s signature tracks, included on their 2003 album “BRING YOUR BOARD!!,” and it’s also a popular live anthem.

If someone asked, “What kind of band is ELLEGARDEN?”, this is the song you’d want them to hear—it embodies who they are: straightforward, exhilarating, catchy, and irresistibly singable.

At the same time, when you look at the lyrics, you can feel a message that says, “It’s okay to take detours—just keep moving forward step by step,” which gives you the confidence to start walking your own path.

ELLEGARDEN – My Favorite Song Lyrics and Translation
My Favorite SongELLEGARDEN

One of ELLEGARDEN’s staple songs, beloved across generations in the Japanese rock scene.

It’s a track I’d love you to listen to on a morning when you feel like, “I really don’t want to go to work!” That said, the lyrics actually tell the story of a protagonist who oversleeps and ends up spending the day surrounded by the things they love.

In reality, it might be hard for you—reading this article—to skip work like in the song, but if you think, “If I get through a day of work, a lot of things I love are waiting for me!!” it might give you the push you need to make it through today.

SupernovaELLEGARDEN5rank/position

Among ELLEGARDEN’s songs, Supernova is especially popular.

It’s a cool track with a striking, exhilarating, fast-paced guitar riff, but the lyrics are actually very heartrending.

Though the entire song is written in English, when you look at the meaning line by line, it depicts the helpless sorrow and regret of a man who’s been dumped by his girlfriend.

However, despite those sorrowful lyrics, the song’s intense tempo might lift your spirits a little and help you face forward.

In 2018, ELLEGARDEN, a four-piece rock band that thrilled fans across Japan, announced their return to activity after a decade.

Their first new song in 16 years, the digital-only single “Mountain Top,” is an emotionally charged yet powerful band tune with a deeply satisfying sound.

Its message—singing of the resolve to not be defeated by hardship—will surely move your heart along with its melody.

Even if you don’t fully grasp the meaning of the English lyrics, the sound itself is guaranteed to give you courage—an undeniable rock anthem.

Released in August 2025, this work was produced as the opening theme for the TV anime One Piece.

It’s also the band’s first anime tie-in, made possible because vocalist Takeshi Hosomi is a huge fan of the original manga.

True to their style, the track features a rugged, high-energy sound.

It’s sure to resonate with students worn out from chasing their dreams every day and those who’ve faced frustration in their clubs.

A powerful number that gives you the courage to believe in yourself and push forward—don’t miss it.
