ELLEGARDEN “Jitterbug” Music Video

The third single “Jitterbug,” chosen as the ending theme for the music program CDTV, is a track that won broad support with its positive lyrics and driving ensemble, earning the band their first No.

1 on the indie charts.

Since the lyrics are in Japanese, it’s easy to remember, and the catchy melody makes it a good choice to try at karaoke.

However, there’s a leap in pitch from the low notes in the pre-chorus (B-melody) to the chorus, so be careful not to go off pitch—especially if the key is at the edge of your range.

Featuring Takeshi Hosomi’s clear vocals and a powerful melody, it’s a popular number frequently performed live.

ELLEGARDEN「Make A Wish」

ELLEGARDEN’s “Make a Wish” is a song that shifts from a slow, stripped-down intro to an exciting, high-energy climax, and among fans it has a strong image as the perfect track to close out a live show.

The acoustic guitar at the beginning resonates with the heart, and from there the tension shoots straight to the max—something that won’t change even when it’s a karaoke pick.

English lyrics often get avoided as hard to sing, but this one is short and simple, making it easy even for those who aren’t comfortable with English lyrics.

How about using it as the final song to wrap up your karaoke session?

The Autumn SongELLEGARDEN4rank/position

The Autumn Song

When it comes to autumn songs in 2000s Japanese rock, many people might think of this classic.

It’s a track by ELLEGARDEN, a band that led the rock scene of the ’00s.

The song was included on the compilation album “Figureheads Compilation,” released in July 2007, and later featured on the best-of album “Ellegarden Best (1999–2008),” which reached No.

2 on the Oricon charts.

While its energetic punk sound is striking, woven into that sense of speed is a somewhat melancholy melody reminiscent of an autumn breeze.

It’s a rock number that blends wistfulness with exhilaration—perfect for those moments in the season when you feel lonely for no reason and want to sink into a sentimental mood while reminiscing about your younger days.

ELLEGARDEN, who sadly went on hiatus in 2008, broke their 10-year silence to make a comeback in 2018.

Influenced by North American pop-punk and punk rock, their tight, energetic sound has continued to captivate rock fans.

In August 2025, they provided the opening theme for the Egghead Arc of the TV anime One Piece.

The song came to fruition because vocalist/guitarist Takeshi Hosomi is a huge One Piece fan, making it a landmark track as the band’s first-ever anime tie-in.

If you perform its punchy rock sound as part of an entertainment segment, it’s sure to send the venue’s energy skyrocketing.

It’s a surefire pick not only for the ELLEGARDEN generation, but also anywhere One Piece fans gather!
