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 ↴
「さよなら」を言うつもりが「じゃあね」寂しいよね
あなたにはもう 会えないかと
思った途端 急に記憶の中で蘇るよ
押さえてた涙こぼれた
I'll get over you この心の痛みが消えたとき
見慣れたはずの街並み いつもと違ってた
澄みきった空見上げて 白い息を吐いた
学校帰りよく集まった公園寄ってみたら
あの日二人で書いた落書き
今でも残っていたよ
I'll get over you 精一杯の笑顔で別れよう
思い出が遠ざかっても いつの日にかこの自分も 越えられるから
あなたにはもう 会えないかと
思った途端 急に記憶の中で蘇るよ
押さえてた涙こぼれた
I'll get over you この心の痛みが消えたとき
今よりも確かなこと! 強くなれるこの自分も 越えられるから
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
The lyrics of "Over and Over" by Every Little Thing narrate the story of a person who has just had a breakup, and they are trying to overcome their pain and start a new chapter in their life. The first verse sets the scene at a subway station where crowds of people come and go, and the singer is bidding farewell to their partner. As they realize that they may never see each other again, the memories start rushing back, and they can't hold back their tears.
The chorus of the song is where the singer vows to get over their ex and move on. They promise to be stronger and more resilient as time goes by, and they will overcome the hurt that they are feeling now. The second verse describes how the familiar cityscape has changed since the singer last saw it. The sky is crystal clear, and the singer reminisces about their time with their ex.
The bridge of the song takes us back to a time when the singer and their partner used to hang out at a park after school. They stumble across some graffiti that they wrote together, and it brings back memories of how happy they were back then. The song ends with the chorus, where the singer is determined to come out of their heartbreak as a stronger and better person.

永遠に続く愛の謳
Uhh…聞かせて 切なさと優しさをそっと
Uhh…教えて 流行の洋服のように 簡単に気持ちまでも 替えられない
かけがえのないもの!

想い出も誇れるように しがない世の中でも Over and Over Over and Over
変わらぬ愛を捜すだろう

人は何故弱気な自分を
Uhh…隠すの? 正直な子供の心を Uhh…失くすの?
躰重ねる度 大切な会話さえも 交わさぬまま すれ違う愛情
