The Japanese pop group Every Little Thing (ELT) released their first "best of" album, titled Every Best Single +3, on March 31, 1999.
Commercial Milestone: The album was a massive commercial success, selling 2,556,314 copies. It cemented ELT's status as a dominant force in late-1990s Japanese pop, following the multi-million-selling success of their second studio album, Time to Destination.
ELT's Legacy
Released to commemorate a specific milestone in the band’s journey, Every Best Single 3 picks up where its predecessors left off. While the first two volumes captured the high-energy synth-pop and soft rock of their early years, Volume 3 showcases a more mature, acoustic-leaning, and sophisticated ELT. It covers a period where Kaori Mochida’s vocals transitioned into a more delicate, airy style, perfectly complementing Ichiro Ito’s intricate guitar arrangements.
"Dear My Friend" and "For the Moment": Energetic tracks that defined the high-energy sound of 90s Avex Trax. Collector’s Corner: Is it Rare?
