After the release of their third album eternity in 2000, Igarashi left to produce other Avex artists Dream and day after tomorrow. ELT became a duo, releasing their 4th album, 4 FORCE and further expanded their music with their 5th album, Many Pieces (regarded as their best work by most fans), which reflected a departure from their usual synth pop style to a more guitar-led sound. While many thought the departure of composer Igarashi was the end of ELT, Itou and Mochida proved they were more than capable of continuing ELT's success without him.
Following Many Pieces was ELT's 6th album, commonplace and their first acoustic-compilation, ACOUSTIC : LATTE. During ELT's 2004-2005 commonplace tour, Mochida suffered from bronchitis which further affected 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. Other than her singing, Mochida's unique hairstyles have also been making extreme changes throughout each album; it went from long, straight, and dyed during the everlasting -Time to Destination era to short and blonde during the eternity era. Mochida's hair then changed to medium-length black during the 4 FORCE era and further progressed to an extremely long and permed style during the Many Pieces-commonplace era. When ACOUSTIC : LATTE was released, Mochida's hair has changed to a bowlcut-like style and became even shorter during the era of Crispy Park. She has been letting it grow back ever since.
Every Little Thing are also known for producing songs for the popular anime, Inuyasha. They produced 3 songs: Ai No Uta (Song of Love), Yura Yura (Rock), and Grip! Many of ELT's songs have also been featured on CMs for TOYOTA, ice box, and Sapporo, as well as opening/endings for TV-dramas.
Their latest single "Atarashii Hibi/Ougon no Tsuki (あたらしい日々/黄金の月)" was released on August 27th 2008 and their latest album, Door was released on March 5, 2008, selling 89,894 copies, reaching #2 on the Oricon charts.

Every Little Thing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
眩しくて瞳を閉じた
頬に流れ落ちる涙街が滲んでいた
友達から聞いたあなたの噂話
信じたくないけど
これほどにひとを好きになること
今までなかったから
ずっと抱きしめていて
今誰かのそばにいるの
なんて変な想像して
不安だけが駆けめぐるよ
かなり嫉妬してる
鍵もかけず家を飛び出した靴の音
心に鳴り響く
止まらない汗ばむ手を拭って
走り伝えたいよ
これからもずっと見守っていてね
ときを刻み込みたい
いつも気づかないふりして
わがままを許してくれた
二人の距離が少しずつ
空いてしまうなんて素直じゃない
解っているから腹が立つ
強がりにさよなら
これほどに相手を好きになること
今までなかったから
潤してほしい この熱い身体
ずっと抱きしめていて
止まらない汗ばむ手を拭って
走り伝えたいよ
二人で一緒に想い出をつくろう
ときを大切にして

ネットが普及してない時代、携帯がまだ一般的でなかった時代、都営大江戸線がなかった時代、タワーマンションがほとんどなかった時代、写真の加工なんか少なかった時代、昭和の香りを残しながらも、バブル後の洗練されたものたちが世の中を彩った時代。この時代の歌に拍手 2023.4.30
