小さな体で おおきな木 登っていた
空に近づけば 会えるような気がしたんだ

この世に生まれる ずっと昔から
守ってくれたね 誰より

幾千の時代(とき)を超え あなたの瞳に映った
この碧い ひとつ ひとつ達を
あまりにも薄情で 悲しいこの世界に
一筋の光りを下さい

消えてしまいそうな夜には 今でもまた
数少ない星 見上げては打ち明けるよ

あなたが言葉を 話せるのならば
何かを教えてくれるの?

もし奇跡 起こるなら この想い届くのなら
いつだって 僕たちは 唄うよ
はがゆくも灰となり 散りゆくこの世界に
永遠の至福を降らせて…

幾千の時代(とき)を超え あなたの瞳に映った
この碧い ひとつ ひとつ達を
あまりにも薄情で 悲しいこの世界に
一筋の光りを下さい

Every Little Thing

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.
