New projects from Ellegarden members

With vocalist Takeshi Hosomi going solo and guitarist Shinichi Ubukata announcing a new band last month, news has now rolled in regarding the other two members of the on-hiatus rock band ELLEGARDEN.

Bassist Yuichi Takada has formally joined the metal band MEANING, which includes U.K.L. vocalist Hayato Hidaka. Originally formed in 2004, the band’s previous bassist Mami quit the group at the end of last year. Takada’s first official show with MEANING was on Sunday.

Meanwhile, drummer Hirotaka Takahashi recently formed a new group called Scars Borough. Besides Takahashi, the group features vocalist KYOKO and bassist MARCH (both from minimal Hugg), along with Shin Hongo of THE TRANSFORMER. The band’s first mini-album goes on sale April 22.
