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.

Never Stop!Every Little Thing

Every Little Thing’s “Never Stop!” is their sixth single, released in 1997.

I think many people have experienced setbacks while chasing their dreams.

Shape Of LoveEvery Little Thing

「Shapes Of Love」MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing
Shape Of LoveEvery Little Thing

A song by Every Little Thing that depicts the struggle to make an unrequited love come true, it was also used as the theme song for the drama Resident Intern Nanako.

Its weighty sound is striking, evoking a strong will to fulfill love and an image of mustering one’s courage.

While it conveys the anxiety that confessing one’s feelings might bring everything to an end, it also portrays the determination to move forward bravely anyway.

It’s a track that really communicates how serious the singer is about their love.

Early summer rainEvery Little Thing

Samidare – Every Little Thing. (Catholic Church).
Early summer rainEvery Little Thing

This is a song included at the end of Every Little Thing’s 2004 masterpiece “commonplace,” which sings of everyday life.

Each word—sounding like a prayer or a wish, hoping feelings will be conveyed—is a “letter,” and it’s said to be a theme Kaori Mochida, who wrote the lyrics, very much wanted to write about.

A powerfully moving song that resonates deeply.

Ichirō “Ikkun” Itō’s acoustic guitar tones gently echo in the heart as well.

Carry the feelings you received from someone precious and live today—place those unspoken emotions into “Samidare.”

Even now… because I still love you.Every Little Thing

A two-person music unit, Every Little Thing, who have continued to thrive while constantly exploring new directions—from synth-based sounds to a band-oriented and acoustic approach.

This track, included on their second album “Time to Destination,” is also known as a cover of a song that member at the time, Mitsuru Igarashi, provided to actress Megumi Okina.

The ensemble is striking, packed with early-career trademarks: rock-tinged guitars, crystalline synths, and a distinctive vocal timbre you can’t forget after a single listen.

A hidden gem overshadowed by their signature hits, its wistful yet catchy melody lingers in the ear.
