Widely beloved as the theme song for the romance observation show “Ainori,” this renowned ballad remains deeply etched in many people’s memories.

The lyrics woven by Kaori Mochida delicately portray the fragility of human relationships—not limited to romance—and the clumsy hearts that struggle to be honest.

Those earnest feelings resonate in the heart, carried by a gentle yet powerful melody.

Released in January 2001, this work is also a landmark piece as Every Little Thing’s first Oricon No.

1 after becoming a duo.

Included on the classic album “4 FORCE,” it has been cherished for many years.

It’s a number that offers a warm, quiet companionship on nights when you’re troubled by a relationship with someone important or when you want to face your own vulnerabilities.

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.

This is a song by Every Little Thing that captures the bittersweet emotions after a heartbreak.

It reflects on a past relationship, expressing self-reflection while conveying that feelings for the other person still remain.

The relatable imagery resonates deeply.

Used as the theme song for the drama “Amai Kekkon” (“Sweet Marriage”), it touched many hearts.

Released in February 1998, it reached No.

2 on the Oricon chart.

It has since been included on best-of albums and anniversary live recordings, and continues to be loved over time.

It’s a recommended track for when you want to heal the pain of a breakup or look back on memories with someone special.

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.

UNSPEAKABLEEvery Little Thing5rank/position

It’s one of the four A-side tracks on Every Little Thing’s 22nd single.

A line in the chorus is particularly striking, and the song captures specific moments of being in love, which I think really resonates.

The synthesizer and guitar sound are reminiscent of early ELT, making it a fan favorite.

It’s a ballad that portrays Every Little Thing’s bittersweet feelings of love.

The song overflows with nostalgia and melancholy for a love that has passed.

While looking back on lost memories, you can also feel a strong will to move forward.

Released in September 2015, it was used as the theme song for the TBS drama “Shiawase no Shippo.” The transparent vocals and the delicate sounds of piano and strings further enhance the emotion in the lyrics.

It’s perfect for those who have experienced parting with someone dear or when you want to bask in nostalgic memories.

It’s sure to leave a lingering resonance that stirs the heart.

For the momentEvery Little Thing7rank/position

Every Little Thing is a music duo that has continued to evolve with the times, receiving songs from domestic and international creators and embracing a wide musical range.

Their 4th single, “For the moment,” which was used in Morinaga’s ICE BOX commercial and as the ending theme for the music program COUNT DOWN TV, became the group’s first number-one hit on the Oricon chart.

Its contrast between heartrending lyrics and a refreshing ensemble may evoke overlapping memories for those who spent their youth in the 1990s.

A love song with a crystalline vocal that lingers in the ear, it became a major hit.
