Every Little Thing

Released: March 22, 2001

家までの道のり近い距離ではないけど
足どり重くていつもよりも遠くに感じた
遣り切れぬ想いに苛立ちが止まらない
でももうすぐあなたに会えると思った瞬間に

ゆるやかな坂道もスキップに変わるよ
あらためてあなたという人の大切さに気づくよ
私には“帰るべき場所"があるからこそ
「明日もまた、がんばろう」とこの胸の中に響かせてく

うれしそうな顔で「おかえり」を言われたら
たちまち私は磁石となり吸い寄せられてく
疲れた体にはどんな薬を飲むより
ホラ不思議ねあなたと居れたら元気になってくよ

何げない微笑みに何度癒されただろう
暖かな夢の中で満たされてしまう心ごと
いつまでも“帰るべき場所"があるといいね
ゆっくりと進む時間(とき)をこのまま大切にしてゆこう

ゆるやかな坂道もスキップに変わるよ
あらためてあなたという人の大切さに気づくよ

ケンカをしてしまっても仲直りをしても
最後にはやっぱりココに戻ってくるよ素直な気持ち
二人には“帰るべき場所"があるからこそ
「明日もまた、がんばろう」とこの胸の中に響かせてく

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.
