Chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday 10 p.m.

drama “Amai Kekkon” (“Sweet Marriage”), it went on to sell over 1.4 million copies.

It has since become familiar as a commercial song for numerous brands, including Toyota and SoftBank.

Every Little Thing / fragile

It’s a song by Every Little Thing that expresses the feeling, “I can’t quite be honest, but deep down I truly love you.” The lyrics are practically a confession of love—so much so that it’s hard to imagine any man feeling nothing if it’s sung right in front of him.

If you sing it with gratitude for having met him and with the wish to keep spending time together from now on, even a man who has only ever seen you as a friend won’t be able to help but take notice.

Why not try singing it with a touch of longing, imagining Kaori Mochida’s clear, expansive voice?

Like when we first metEvery Little Thing3rank/position

"Like When We First Met" MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

For many women now in their 40s who spent their teenage years to early twenties in the mid-to-late 1990s, Every Little Thing holds a special place.

Back then, plenty of people imitated Kaori Mochida’s fashion and hairstyles.

ELT’s classic songs are still hugely popular at karaoke even in the Reiwa era, but if you’re aiming for a high score, we recommend the 1997 hit “Deatta Koro no You ni.” Its quintessential late-’90s Avex-style sound and melody make it very easy to sing, and since there aren’t any tricky sections, it’s less likely you’ll go off-pitch.

The overall key is on the higher side, so if you have a lower voice, try adjusting the key to suit you before singing.

Shapes Of LoveEvery Little Thing4rank/position

「Shapes Of Love」MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

A bright, poppy, and exhilarating number that vividly brings back the flutter of falling in love.

Released in October 1997 as their sixth single, it became widely known as the theme song for the TV drama “Intern Nanako.” The glittering synth sound crafted by Mitsuru Igarashi and Kaori Mochida’s clear, powerful vocals are a perfect match.

In fact, this song also marked their first appearance at that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

The lyrics portray the feelings of love you want to confess but can’t quite put into words—something anyone with an unrequited crush will surely relate to.

Give it a listen when you need the courage to confess, or when you want to boost your mood and stay positive.

The powerful sound arrangement pairs perfectly with Mochida’s clear, expansive vocals—truly moving.

It feels like the emotions embedded in the lyrics come through directly.

Send it to your friends from your school days!

For the momentEvery Little Thing6rank/position

「For the moment」MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

Every Little Thing is an artist that represents the Heisei era.

Some of you might have spent your youth with ELT’s music.

They’re known for a lot of high-pitched songs, but among them, “For the moment” has high notes mainly in part of the chorus, while the rest stays relatively within a comfortable range.

It also has a good groove, making it easier to sing.

In the high notes of the chorus, the melody climbs like steps, so building momentum is very important.

High notes are tough without enough breath, so where you breathe matters, too.

First, look through the lyrics and find where the high notes are.

Once you know the spots, try singing the melody so those parts become the accents.

It should be easier if you keep the rhythm while you sing!

A sublime ballad you’ll find yourself wanting to hear when winter’s chill sinks into your bones.

Released by Every Little Thing in December 2004, the song became widely beloved as the theme for the film “A Love Letter from Heaven” and as a cough drop commercial tune.

It topped the Oricon weekly chart and was performed on that year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, capturing the hearts of many.

Perfect for times when you want to reaffirm how much someone means to you, or when you’re in the mood for a heartwarming moment.
