Future WorldEvery Little Thing22rank/position

ELT- Future World

It was released in 1996 as Every Little Thing’s second single.

The song was used in a TDK commercial, with lyrics and composition by Mitsuru Igarashi.

It features a Eurobeat-like sound, and Kaori Mochida’s high notes are beautifully clear and expansive.

The tempo is so fast that even catching your breath can be challenging.

Every Little Thing / KIRA KIRA (short ver.)

KIRA KIRA by Every Little Thing was the theme song for one of the three-part Pretty Cure films released in 2015, The Treasure of Pumpkin Kingdom.

As the title suggests, many women have probably longed for “sparkly things” since they were little—whether that means toys, or something intangible that you can’t see.

This song is packed with that childhood sparkle we’ve always admired, and it’s a track that lifts the spirits of girls and women alike, from kids to adults.

Over and OverEvery Little Thing24rank/position

「Over and Over」MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

It’s a classic ballad with a gentle yet powerful message that you’ll find yourself wanting to listen to when the weather turns chilly.

Kaori Mochida’s crystal-clear vocals pair perfectly with Mitsuru Igarashi’s synth sound, and just listening to it feels purifying, doesn’t it? Released in January 1999 as Every Little Thing’s 11th single, it also drew attention as the ending theme for the TV drama “Border: Criminal Psychology Investigation File.” It ranked high on the Oricon charts and has been beloved for many years.

Its medium tempo and easy-to-remember melody make it a pleasure to sing at karaoke without straining.

It’s a quintessential winter song that we especially hope people in their 40s—who spent their youth with this track—will sing!

Every Little Thing / Cold Rain

If you’re in the mood to cry on a rainy day, I recommend “Tsumetai Ame” by Every Little Thing! Debuting in 1996, Every Little Thing is a musical duo known for heartbreaking breakup songs and tearjerkers.

“Tsumetai Ame,” released as a single in 2009, carried the catchphrase “the most tear-jerking song of this winter.” Kaori Mochida’s vocals poignantly express a woman’s feelings as she loves someone even knowing the love won’t be returned.

FOREVER YOURSEvery Little Thing26rank/position

ELT – FOREVER YOURS

This is Every Little Thing’s ninth single, “FOREVER YOURS,” released in 1998.

Many of Every Little Thing’s songs are on the lower side and easy to sing, so they’re recommended for people who struggle with high keys.

This track is also a calm, easy one to sing.

Songs from the ’90s tend to be pretty popular at karaoke, don’t they?

A single released in January to mark the dawn of the landmark year 2000.

Written, composed, and arranged entirely by Mitsuru Igarashi, this track opens with a majestic intro and is an upbeat tune that powerfully conveys hope for the future and the will to move forward.

It was also featured in a DyDo “Ti-Ha” commercial, and many listeners likely felt their hearts lift at the catchy melody coming from their TVs.

Included on the album “eternity,” it’s cherished as a classic that blends ELT’s characteristically dazzling digital sound of the time with Kaori Mochida’s soaring vocals.
