余計な言葉なら すぐに思い付くのに
肝心なコトバがいつも言えなくて
ウジウジした僕の心は雨模様
風のようにただ擦り抜けた 秋の空

この街もだんだん姿を変えて
なんだか切なくて
まだひとり動けずに立ち竦む 僕は

触れる度に染まってゆく
君の頬が今もまだ愛しくて
傷つけ合う事など知らない
あの日々は遠くて
通り過ぎた この季節の中で

ベランダから見えた無数の星達に
ひたすら想うとすれば 君のコト

つま先を伸ばして空に預けた
ささやかな祈りは
暗闇を突き抜けて明日へと向かう

忘れようとしまい込んだ
僕の胸は今もまだ痛むけど
ほんの少し優しくなれたら
弱い僕にさよなら
あの日に似た 月明かりの下で

触れる度に染まってゆく
君の頬が今もまだ愛しくて
傷つけ合う事など知らない
あの日々は遠くて
通り過ぎた この季節の中で

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.
