君の笑顔がそっと
僕を解き放してゆく
あふれだす想いは
色づく風に揺られて

どうして僕らは惹かれあったんだろう
こうして生まれた青い奇跡
蒼空へ

生きゆく時間(とき)はきっと
煌めいてゆく
探してた 輝きを
今 胸に抱きしめて

愛することを知った
僕らには
超えられないことなんてない
さぁ 今を歩いてゆく

夏の匂いがそっと
僕を通り過ぎてゆく
滲むような想いは
愛する日々に癒され

どうして僕らは傷付けあったんだろう
きっとね 幸せになるために
明日へ

過ぎゆく時間(とき)はそっと
微笑むから
悲しみも 優しさと
今 共に満ちるから

愛だけ信じてた
僕らなら
踏み出せないことなんてない
さぁ 今を感じながら

生きゆく時間(とき)はきっと
煌めいてゆく
探してた 輝きを
今 胸に抱きしめて

愛することを知った
僕らには
超えられないことなんてない
さぁ 今を歩いてゆく

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.
