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 ↴
もどかしい気持ちで
この胸 張ち切れそうだよ
内気な自分直せば
デートの約束も
照れずに言い出せるのに
ふいに見せた笑顔
今日も眠れない
この恋つかみ取りたい
今は片想いだけれど
あなたを振り向かせるから
真剣に話を聞いて!
形のないものだから
いつも行方知れずの恋
誰にも もう止められない
かけがえのないときめきを
叶えたい叶えられない?
あなたを想うたび
ため息増える毎日
映画のワンシーンのような
気の利いた言葉で
愛を打ち明けられたら
受話器握りしめて
彼にダイヤルした
友達以上になれるかな?
本気で恋したいから
今も大事なひとだから
勇気を出して飛び込もう
この距離が近づくように
形のないものだから
いつも行方知れずの恋
このままチャンス逃さない
二度とない青春だから
この恋つかみ取りたい
今は片想いだけれど
あなたを振り向かせるから
真剣に話を聞いて!
形のないものだから
いつも行方知れずの恋
誰にも もう止められない
かけがえのないときめきを

1番ヒット曲連発してた頃のB’zみたいにギターがちゃんと効果的に、でもうるさいって思わない絶妙なバランスで差し込んでるの凄い好き。
あとMVの床が動いて歩いてるのいいわぁ、このウォーキングが見たいからMVで聴いてる。
