A must-hear selection of masterpieces tracing the path Every Little Thing has woven

Since their debut in 1996, Every Little Thing has left an indelible mark on Japan’s pop music scene.

After Mitsuru Igarashi’s departure, they restarted as a duo and further broadened their musical range.

From up-tempo dance numbers to songs centered on acoustic guitar and dramatic pieces colored by strings, that breadth is one of ELT’s strengths, isn’t it? Kaori Mochida’s expressive delivery has also evolved into a vocal style that delicately conveys emotional nuances, giving the group as a whole a deeper flavor distinct from their debut days.

In this article, we trace ELT’s journey through their music and present their allure with a selection that gets to the heart of ELT.

A must-listen selection of masterpieces tracing the path Every Little Thing has woven (31–40)

LandscapeEvery Little Thing

Every Little Thing has sung many songs for Toyota commercials, and “Landscape,” released in December 2011, is one of them.

It’s a Christmas song about a lover and was used in the commercial for the Isis.

It’s an upbeat, high-energy track that gives off a rock vibe rarely seen in ELT singles.

‘Fundamental Love’ always sends the crowd into a frenzy at live shows, and if you haven’t experienced it live yet, I highly recommend giving this song a listen.

If you’re lucky enough to catch it on the setlist, you’ll be over the moon for sure!

This is a commercial song by Every Little Thing, and recently member Ichiro Ito’s unique personality has often been highlighted on variety shows and the like.

It was used in a commercial for the ice treat ICEBOX, where the product’s refreshing quality matched the mood of the song perfectly.

Get into A GrooveEvery Little Thing

It was released in 2000 as Every Little Thing’s 13th single.

The song was issued as a double A-side single, “Pray/Get Into A Groove,” and was their first maxi single.

It was also used as the commercial song for TOYOTA’s HILUX SURF.

This is a springtime pop song you absolutely have to experience live.

From the silhouette behind the curtain in the intro, you can sense the tastefulness, and when the curtain drops and the song begins, Mochida appears singing with an umbrella in one hand—it’s incredibly stylish and charming.

It’s a classic that you can’t help but want to listen to every spring.

This is Every Little Thing’s 34th single.

FOREVER YOURSEvery Little Thing

Released before summer, FOREVER YOURS could be called a classic ELT song for the season.

If you take it along on outdoor trips and play it in the car, it’s sure to boost everyone’s spirits.

Face the changeEvery Little Thing

It’s a very upbeat, easy-to-listen-to, catchy song.

It was also used in a Toyota commercial, so some of you have probably seen it there.

It’s a classic that really boosts your mood when you listen to it on a drive, and I often play it when I’m driving.
