生まれた街はとても温かく
近所の人はいつだってね明るくて
ミケ猫は尻尾ふりふりと歩き寄り
角を曲がればおしろい花は咲いてる

ぼくたちの未来はね
きっときっと綺麗で
ぼくたちの未来はね
もっともっと孤独でもね
この小さな世界は
ずっとずっと奇跡なんだろう

父の背中はいつも大きくて
母の温もり今だってね手の中に
姉の笑顔は木漏れ日と徒然に
兄の強さは今日のまた夢となる

そうやってきたからね
今とても幸せ
そうやってきたからね
今ぼくは歩いている
そして今ぼくは
優しい君と出逢えたんだろう

空見上げて泣いた日は
そう誰かが優しく
声をかけてくれたよ
そんなこんなが日常の
この街でぼくは
こうして今日も笑うんです

ぼくたちの未来はね
きっときっと綺麗で
ぼくたちの未来はね
もっともっと孤独でもね
この小さな世界は
ずっとずっとこれまでも
ずっとずっとこの先も
ずっとずっと奇跡なんだろう

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.
