「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!

「Pray」MUSIC VIDEO / Every Little Thing

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.

It’s sure to give you courage when you’re taking on something new or want to reset your mindset and look ahead.

Face the changeEvery Little Thing24rank/position

Face the change

Every Little Thing is a music duo that still enjoys enduring popularity today.

“Face the change” is an early-career work of theirs, characterized by distinctly ’90s synthesizers and a somewhat rock-tinged vocal line.

That said, it doesn’t feature shouty phrases, and the vocal range stays relatively narrow.

The rhythm is simple as well, so if you can maintain steady, full-bodied tone on sustained notes, it will likely come across as skillful.

KIRA KIRAEvery Little Thing25rank/position

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.

It was released in 1999 as Every Little Thing’s 12th single.

The song was used in a commercial for TOYOTA’s HILUX SURF and was released as an advance single for the best-of album “Every Best Single +3,” which came out the same year.

The lyrics convey a positive message that we are not alone but supported by many people.

A gentle acoustic guitar sets a comfortable mood in this 25th single.

Evolving from their early, sparkling sound toward an acoustic resonance, it’s a gem of a ballad that fully showcases Kaori Mochida’s warm vocals.

Centered on everyday greetings, it softly portrays the sense of security shared with someone dear.

Released in November 2003, the song became widely loved as the theme for the drama “Pure Love III” and in commercials for Hachimitsu Kinkan throat lozenges.

It was also performed at that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, leaving a lasting impression on many.

Listen at the end of the day, and you’ll likely feel your taut nerves unwind into calm.

It’s a number that stays by your side when you need a quiet breath amid busy days.

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.
