Every Little Thing

Released: August 24, 2011

清らかな微笑み
真っ直ぐな眼差し
いつまでも変わらぬ優しさに
心は歌うから

『あなたのその歌は、誰かの心となり、
今でもずっと届いている』と
言ってくれたこと

そんな風にして人々は
きっと
誰かに支えられて
生き抜いてゆくこと
知るのだろう

ありがとうは
そのためにある

自信なくした時
あなたがくれたものは

心の深い深い奥底に
根強く咲いている

そんな風にして人々は
今日も
誰かと抱き合っては
生きていることを確かめて
また歩き出すのだろう

信じるのは
時々、辛いけど
心に咲き誇る愛があるから

そんな風にして人々は
きっと
誰かに支えられて
生き抜いてゆくこと
知るのだろう

ありがとうは
そのためにある

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.
