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-hear selection of masterpieces tracing the path Every Little Thing has woven (41–50)
Early summer rainEvery Little Thing

Every Little Thing’s “Samidare” soothes the heart with vocalist Kaori Mochida’s gentle, whisper-like singing.
Included on the 2004 album “commonplace,” the song was featured in JR Hokkaido’s commercials “Spring Strait Story” and “Summer Sapporo Story.” It is said to have been written like a letter to a devoted ELT fan who was battling illness.
It conveys the idea of transforming the warmth you gave into the strength to sing—and then returning that warmth to you.
For those starting a new chapter this spring, let this song inspire you to turn the support you’ve received into strength and do your best!
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.
I’m in love.Every Little Thing

A ballad that captures sweet, happy moments between two people in love, wrapped in warm time.
Released as a single by Every Little Thing in October 2007, it was featured as the song for Sapporo Beer’s “Fuyu Monogatari” (Winter Tale) commercial.
The gentle vocals and simple yet emotionally rich arrangement of piano and strings beautifully express the freshness and reassurance of love.
The track is also included on the album “Door,” offering a warm depiction of a calm winter scene shared by lovers.
It’s a song we especially recommend to those who feel a vague anxiety about their relationship or who want to reaffirm their honest feelings toward their partner.
SakurabitoEvery Little Thing

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.
A Modest PrayerEvery Little Thing

It gives off an autumn-like vibe.
The lyrics were written by Mochida, and her heartfelt, passionate singing at concerts and on the live DVDs is truly moving.
By the way, in the music video, actress Maki Sakai appears together with Mochida.
This is Every Little Thing’s 21st single.
