ELT 'Even if we're far apart...' Teruteru Karaoke

Every Little Thing became explosively popular among people of the same generation, regardless of gender, in the late 1990s.

If you’re from that generation, there are probably many of you who still sing their songs at karaoke, right? The song “Tatoe Tooku Hanaretetemo…” is included on ELT’s first album, “everlasting,” released in 1997.

This album became ELT’s first million-seller.

As the title suggests, it’s a love song about being far apart—a long-distance relationship.

Even now... because I still love you.

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.

In the end, it’s a song that hints at heartbreak, about drifting away from you.

Yet its lyrics ache with the realization of having been protected and growing from that, turning even heartbreak into nourishment.

I used to listen to it often back when I had a crush on an older boy I admired.
