Every Little Thing

Released: February 23, 2011

一番星に今願いを込めるよ
大切な笑顔が今日も輝いているように

いつも気付かずに心配かけたね
あの日くれた君のことば今蘇る

いつになっても甘えてばかり
何ひとつ出来なくて優しくなれず
『ごめんね』と、つぶやいた

いつも心に持ってるよ
元気が出るおまじないさ
忘れないから君の温もりも
その声も
君を好きなこの大事な
想いが胸にある限り
明日を夢みてゆくから

ひとりきりの夜やけに寂しくて
きっとそれは君をこんなに
好きになったから

いい人でいたい僕はやっぱり
とても素直じゃないね
うまくやれそうな
ことばかり考えて

なんてこともない時間が
こんなにももどかしいのは
本当の想い分からないふりをしたから
切なくてやりきれないけど
君が思い出になるまで
もう少し好きでいさせてね

輝いたあの星のように
僕らを照らし続けていた日々は
明日へ架けるための希望の光

諦めることしかできない
何ひとつ出来ない僕にも
教えてくれた優しさの意味をすべてを

君を好きなこの大事な
想いが胸にある限り
明日を信じて夢みてゆくから

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.
