Every Little Thing

Released: August 9, 2006

緑の似合う季節に
あなたは去りました
すこしも大袈裟でない言葉を
ここに、おいて、

ある日
ふたりが全部
呑み込んだ慣れあいも
すこしも大袈裟でない言葉で
終わったんでした

分からないほどじゃないくらいに
年を重ねたので
これからどうすればいいか
どうすることがいいのか、の決断でした

ゆるいカーブ沿いの
緑の道
歩きながら
思い出してることに気付きました
ようやく踏み出すその先には
あたらしい息吹がある
その手を翳してみる

きれいなものはきっと
消えやしないから
朱色に燃ゆる空をみつめたひたむきさを

繰り返すことできないくらいに
時間を重ねたので
私たちの答えが
どちらであっても
間違いなどはないのでしょう

煽る風に揺れる
この葉の音
澄ましながら
深々と呼吸をしてみました
自然と踏み出すその先には
あたたかい心地がある
風待(かざま)ち心もよう

ゆるいカーブ沿いの
緑の道
歩きながら
思い出してることに気付きました
ようやく踏み出すその先には
あたらしい息吹がある
その手を翳してみる

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.
