Every Little Thing
Encyclopedia
Every Little Thing is a pop
and soft rock
duo from Japan who debuted in August 1996 with the release of their first single called "Feel My Heart
". Their name is usually written in English, and only rarely in katakana
or rōmaji
.
Also known as ELT by their fans, Every Little Thing was originally a trio but became a duo in 2000 with Kaori Mochida
as the singer and Ichiro Ito
as the guitarist. Mitsuru Igarashi
left ELT following the release of their 3rd original album Eternity
to produce for other artists like Dream
and the now disbanded Day After Tomorrow
, which was criticized for sounding too much like the early Every Little Thing.
Former members

to local sailors. He initially intended to play drums.
Mochida made her debut as a baby in an advertisement for diapers as her mom hoped she would enter the entertainment business. In 1991, at the age of 13, she joined the eight-member girl group The Kuro Buta All-Stars. Though not successful, the experience convinced her to record a two track demo, featuring the two songs, "Mouichido" (The Kuro Buta All-Stars) and a cover song from 1970s/80s singer-songwriter Mariya Takeuchi
.
She sent the demo to Avex Trax
, where Mitsuru Igarashi was a producer looking for a girl for a new duo with him as the keyboardist. Impressed by her strong yet sweet voice, Igarashi asked her to join as a duo, and then asked his guitarist friend Ichiro Ito
, then working as a studio receptionist, to help on the first single "Feel My Heart", created by Igarashi. Ito, over ten years Mochida's senior, has said that when first meeting the young Mochida wearing gyaru
style thick platform boots, he didn't even know how to strike up conversation.
charts and with the group gaining popularity, Ito decided to stay permanently in the group as a trio.
Their first studio album, called Everlasting was a big success, selling nearly two million copies in Japan
, and marking ELT as a popular group with a bright future. The band reached #1 at the Oricon
charts for the first time with their fourth single, "For the Moment".
The second studio album entitled Time to Destination
, released in 1998, was one of the best-selling albums of that year, and the best-selling album of the band, with over 3,500,000 copies sold. Additionally, the album became the 10th best selling album of all time in Japan. This album also included their best-selling single, "Time Goes By
", a ballad
tune that reached sales of nearly 1,150,000.
Upon the release of the third studio album, Eternity
, released in March 2000, Mitsuru Igarashi suddenly decided to leave the band to produce another pop act, Day After Tomorrow. Ito later said that the decision was dropped on them without warning, right before a tour, and it forced them to change their sound. The remaining duo decided to tour acoustically for the next two years in order to find their feet, but also enjoyed more creative freedom over the songs.
The single "Sure" was the last that Igarashi participated in and with the release of their 16th single, "Ai no Kakera
" in October 2000, ELT transitioned their style from Igarashi's signature synthesized pop-rock sound to a more acoustic soft-rock sound. Their single "Fragile" released on New Year's Day 2001 became ELT's second biggest hit ever, vindicating their new direction, selling approximately 829,580 copies; its c/w song "Jirenma" was one of the ending songs for the anime movie Initial D
Third Stage.
ELT's popularity has declined over the years since then, but although many similar bands like Day After Tomorrow
have disbanded, ELT remains one of the few mid-1990s bands still together, along with globe
and Dreams Come True. In November 2004 the duo released their single "Koibumi/Good Night" that was a surprise for many, because it performed comparatively well on the charts, selling more than many of their previous singles. This result may have been because the 2nd song, "Good Night", was the theme song for the game Tales of Rebirth
.
Every Little Thing released two singles in 2004, and just one single in 2005, the soft rock
"Kimi no Te
", and the acoustic compilation album Acoustic : Latte
.
During Every Little Thing's 2004-2005 commonplace tour, Mochida suffered from bronchitis which further effected her singing style during the tour as well as on their 7th album, Crispy Park
, released on August 9, 2006 (their 10th anniversary day). Mochida’s singing style has changed slightly on every album, going from a clear, soothing voice to a high and cuter voice. A 2006-2007 concert tour followed their tenth anniversary album release. Their 31st single, "Swimmy
" (スイミー), theme song for the drama series "Kekkon Dekinai Otoko
" (結婚できない男), was released in October 2006.
Two singles surfaced in each of 2007, 2008 and 2009, with "Dream Goes On
" peaking at #6 in September 2009. Their 2008 album Door
released on March 5, 2008 peaked at #2. Mochida has said of the album, that "I used to sing without thinking. But now I convey thoughts that are hard to explain when I communicate with people in my daily life. It's harder than before; but we reap much more joy."
It was announced on November 20 that lead vocalist Kaori Mochida will begin her solo career in January 2009 but both she and Itoh will continue as Every Little Thing.
