Since their debut, Mitsuru Igarashi wrote, composed, arranged and produced almost all of their music, but in 2000 he decided to leave the group. Since then, Mochida and Ito started to take more control in their music making process as a band. However, in 2009, Igarashi and Every Little Thing met again and worked together in their album Change.
