I hope they're just taking a break....because they're awesome!

"Kaze no Hi" is my favourite song of theirs.

I play Good Morning Kids every morning before I go to school :D
lifts my spirits, makes me think i can beat down the man!!!

ellegarden inspiored me in so many ways best hopes for them

I know this is bumping a two-month old thread (with my first post on this site, ha...), but Ellegarden is far and away my favorite Japanese band. Kaze no Hi is also one of my favorites, along with Yubiwa, Monster, and a lot more. I don't know Japanese beyond common phrases that I hear in anime (which I just recently got into in the last year or so), so I really appreciate the fact that they can convey the right emotions through their sound rather than solely by their lyrics.

So what are the members of ellegarden gonna do now stop playing all together or be in different bands?

"We want to thank everyone who has supported ELLEGARDEN from the bottom of our hearts.
In order to once again create new music as ELLEGARDEN, each of us wants to work on our own personal growth and development.
Thank you for everything."

That's what it said on their myspace, so I'm guessing they're going to go solo for a while and then get back together...

That's how it seems to me.

Well then that answers my question.
