Ellegarden – TV Maniacs

ELLEGARDEN is a four-piece rock band that has had a huge influence on rock bands in the J-POP scene since the 2000s and continues to stay at the forefront.

“TV Maniacs,” included on their fourth album RIOT ON THE GRILL, gets your adrenaline pumping with its straightforward rock sound that kicks off with a powerful guitar riff.

The tempo is quite fast, and the drums in particular can make or break the overall quality of the track depending on whether the beat remains steady to the end, so take care.

Also, since the lyrics are entirely in English, vocalists should thoroughly learn the song before band practice so they can keep up with the ensemble.

ELLEGARDEN「Marry Me」

The band’s song is captivating for its storytelling, which vividly portrays the feelings of a man attending a couple’s wedding.

With a blend of heartbreak and resignation, and a deep undercurrent of love woven carefully into the lyrics, it strikes a chord with listeners.

This worldview is captured on the album “RIOT ON THE GRILL,” released in 2005, which won over many fans.

Its straightforward lyrics and approachable sound are sure to resonate with anyone troubled by love or suffering from unrequited feelings.

It’s a perfect track not only as background music for weddings, but also for everyday listening when you want to reflect on yourself.

ELLEGARDEN – Mountain Top [MUSIC VIDEO]

A song that marked ELLEGARDEN’s restart, it stands out with a calm tempo yet a powerfully resonant tone.

Incorporating techniques like palm muting and power chords—the very foundations of rock—it’s a perfect piece for practice.

Since the playing approach shifts clearly from section to section, be mindful of how the resonance changes with each phrase.

If you clearly express the difference between single-note lines and chords, the contrast in sound will make the power stand out even more.

My Favorite SongELLEGARDEN28rank/position

ELLEGARDEN – My Favorite Song Lyrics and Translation

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.
