Released: August 9, 2006

廃屋の色に染まる
僅かな色めき
君は 彩りだす

なよやかな白い指先
たどる景色は
外に降る雨

「もう何もいらない」と
頼りなく笑う
君の隣りで
ぼくは 何ができただろう

倒れたら
すぐ駆け寄って
ぼくなりの強さで
守りたいと思ってるんだ
雨の鳴る夜を
浮かべて 想い耽ては
いつのまにか 眠りについた
ぼくの最後の
記憶のかけら

ここはぬくもりの地
君と どれだけ
過ごしてきたかな

おかまいなく戯(じゃ)れるときは
心が今にも
泣きだしそうなとき

もう何もできないよ
ぼくがいなくても
この先もずっと
しあわせで いてもらいたい

躓いたら
見あげてほしい
ぼくたちの いのちは
ずっと 結ばれ続くから
窓に打たれた
しずくは 捩れてゆく
君のかわりに 泣いてみる
ぼくの最後の
祈りよ届け

倒れたら
すぐ駆け寄って
ぼくなりの強さで
守りたいと思ってるんだ
雨の鳴る夜を
浮かべて 想い耽ては
いつのまにか 眠りについた
ぼくの最後の
記憶のかけら

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.
