Every Little Thing

Released: December 18, 2002

ただ声が聞きたくて
電話したあの日の夜のこと
そっけない話し方
それだけで無表情だと気付く

心と心が離れたら
そこには何が残るだろう
「繋いだその手間違っていた」
と思えなくて

ひとつひとつ育んで来た
この愛に教えられたこと
信じる強さと思いやる心
そして…孤独さえも

あぁ泣きそうになった
こらえていた想いがあった…

ただ声が聞きたくて
電話した最後の夜のこと
「一人じゃない?」
そう悟った
勘の良さヒドク憎んだのよ

背中合わせでも
お互いの体温は伝わっていた
こうなる前に解り合えたなら
ヨカッタヨネ

四六時中共に過ごした
この部屋に残されたものは
あなたの匂いと動けない心
今日も抱いて眠る

あぁこらえてた想い
溢れ出してこぼれおちた

ひとつひとつ育んで来た
この愛に教えられたこと
信じる強さと思いやる心
そして…孤独さえも

あぁこらえてた想い
忘れる日が来るだろうか…

Every Little Thing (エヴリ・リトル・シング), often abbreviated as ELT or elt, is a Japanese pop and soft rock duo who originally debuted as a trio in August of 1996 with the single Feel My Heart. At the time of debut, the members were Mitsuru Igarashi, Kaori Mochida and Ichiro Ito.

The group was originally formed because Mitsuru Igarashi, who was a producer for avex trax at the time, was searching for a female vocalist for a duo. Kaori Mochida, who was a student and former member of the group The Kuro Buta All-Stars, had sent in a demo to Mitsuru and he had been so speechless by Kaori’s vocals, had asked her to join the group he was forming and she willingly accepted. Ichiro Ito on the other hand, was a friend of Mitusuru’s who conveniently, plays the guitar, was asked to help play the guitar for the first single; the track did so well that Ito decided to stay in the group permanently. However, by the time the trio released their third single, Mitsuru had decided to leave in order to produce songs for other artists under avex, and, as such, ELT became a duo, as originally planned.

Since Mitsuru’s departure from the group, ELT continued to release content as a duo and continued to succeed on the charts.
