Ellegarden formed in 1998 and disbanded in 2008! (T.T)
And is by far the best
Japanese punk rock/alternative rock band i have ever heard!!!!
it will always remain my #1!!!
=D
The band included four Japanese members:
Takeshi Hosomi
DOB: February 22, 1973 (age 36)
Hirotaka Takahashi
DOB: October 29, 1975 (age 33)
Shinichi Ubukata
DOB: September 30, 1976 (32)
Yuichi Takada
DOB: July 23, 1976 (age 32)
Takeshi Hosomi recently appeared at PunkSpring 09 with his new band
the Hiatus.(sound familiar???) and it is said that on May 27th 2009 the CD will be out. i personally have been wanting to listen to his stuff but will have to wait till the CD is out because i've done my research and havent been able to find anything online yet!!! His website (
http://www.takeshihosomi.com) is of no help because its all in Japanese, but from my understanding he'll start to tour with his band in June!!!???
As for the other members... umm i really have done much research but i know all of them have joined/formed new bands. Hirotaka Takahashi is now the drummer of
Scars Borough, Shinichi Ubukata is now part of
Nothing is Carved in Stone along with Takanori Ookita and Hidekazu Hinata from Fullarmor. As for Yuichi Takada i am unsure of what he is up to!
