何となく君と過ごしてきたけど
思いのままに 手紙を書きました

秋の夕暮れは穏やかに溶けて
五時のチャイムが 空に響いてた

忙しくて言い訳ばかりゴメンね
たまには荷物まとめて何処か遠くへ

いつだって僕ら 輝いていたい
今のこの想いは 届くかな
スペアミントの 口づけをしたら
とても懐かしくて
あの日に見た 僕のいとしいひと

何気ない微笑(えみ)を投げかけるもんで
気の利く台詞 言い出せなかった

背伸びしてたスペアミントなあの頃
混み合う渋谷の街と君の横顔

遠回りして 歩いてみたんだ
少しぎこちなくて 笑えたね
下り電車を 待つ僕の手には
飲みかけのサイダー
泡の音が 頼りなく弾けた

忙しくて言い訳ばかりゴメンね
たまには荷物まとめて何処か遠くへ

いつだって僕ら 輝いていたい
今のこの想いは 届くかな
スペアミントの 口づけをしたら
とても懐かしくて
あの日に見た 僕のいとしいひと

こんなに僕は君がすきだから。

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.
