Every Little Thing

Released: March 5, 2008

『とても素敵な恋を
していたんだね』

誰かにそう言われたら
涙が溢れ出した

忘れよう
忘れよう
そう言い聞かせてきた

いつしか
大切な想いまでも

きれいな夕焼けを
いつまでも、と
見てた景色は
悲しいことよりも
しあわせへと満ちるから

瞬いた
輝いた
あなたとのすべては蘇る

ふと足を止めた
路地に咲いた花は

もうすぐ終わりを告げて
疲れて眠るように

少しだけ切なくて
泣けてしまったのは多分
僕もまた
少し
疲れたんだろう

あなたが好きだった
花の名前
思い出しているよ
もうじきその花も
新しく生まれ変わる

その土を少しだけ
握りしめ
明日に咲かすよ

あの時
感じた確かなもの
抱きしめたら
そこから歩いて
来れたことも
行くことも

瞬いて
輝いて
あなたとのすべては
今生きる

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.
