Every Little Thing (ELT) is a Japanese pop group.
ELT, unlike most J-Pop artists, did not appear in television soaps. However, Kaori Mochida sometimes appears in fashion magazines. ELT's songs have appeared in soaps and commercials. Some of their albums only contain remixes of songs that have already been released. Their hit single Grip! is the fourth theme song in the popular anime series Inu Yasha .
history
Every Little Thing released their first single Feel My Heart in 1996 . The songs were mostly written and produced by Mitsuru Igarashi.
Over the past few years, Every Little Thing have changed their style from synthesizer pop rock to more acoustic soft rock. The single Sure (2000) testifies to the change in the band. It was the last single Mitsuru Igarashi had performed on. Kaori Mochida and Ichiro Ito continued the band project as a duo. Kaori Mochida also changed her singing style so that her voice would better suit the new arrangements.
At the last concert of their Every Little Thing Tour 2009-2010 “MEET” on March 28, 2010 in Tokyo, the band performed again with the old line-up 4 days earlier due to Mochida's birthday.
