The woman, Kaori Mochida, is a singer from Tokyo, and the man, Ichiro Ito, is a guitarist from Kanagawa Prefecture.
This group made their debut in 1996.
And next year they took part in Kohaku (New Year's) Song battle for the first time.
When they started the band, there were three members.
But Mitsuru Igarashi left the band in 2000, and he started to focus on his production.
He made all of Every Little Thing's songs and wrote their lyrics.
So since he left, Every little thing sound changed a little.
Now they released 35 single CDs, 8 original albums, 2 best albums and 3 ballad best albums.
They took part in "Kouhakuutagassen" eight times.
They are often called "ELT".
Early careers
Ito began playing guitar in local bands around the US Yokota Air Base in Fussa, Tokyo, performing cover versions of songs by rock acts like Van Halen to local sailors.
He initially intended to play drums.
Mochida made her debut as a baby in an advertisement for diapers as her mom hoped she would enter the entertainment business.
In 1991, at the age of 13, she joined the eight-member girl group The Kuro Buta All-Stars.
Though not successful, the experience convinced her to record a two track demo, featuring the two songs, "Mouichido" (The Kuro Buta All-Stars) and a cover song from 1970s/80s singer-songwriter Mariya Takeuchi.
She sent the demo to Avex Trax, where Mitsuru Igarashi was a producer looking for a girl for a new duo with him as the keyboardist.
Impressed by her strong yet sweet voice, Igarashi asked her to join as a duo, and then asked his guitarist friend Ichiro Ito, then working as a studio receptionist, to help on the first single "Feel My Heart", created by Igarashi.
Ito, over ten years Mochida's senior, has said that when first meeting the young Mochida wearing gyaru style thick platform boots, he didn't even know how to strike up conversation.

Saturn (Latin: Sāturnus) was a Roman god of agriculture and harvest.
He was the father of Ceres, Jupiter, Veritas and others.
He was associated with wealth, liberation, and time.
He was identified with the Greek titan Kronos, whose reign (often referred to as the Golden Age) was regarded as a time of abundance and peace.
The Temple of Saturn situated within the Roman Forum housed the state treasury.
In December, the festival of Saturnalia, perhaps the most famous of all the Roman festivals, was held in his honor — it largely consisted of a public banquet, role reversals, private gift-giving and revelry.
The planet Saturn is named after him and the modern English weekday Saturday (Latin diēs Sāturni - "Day of Saturn") bears his name.
Comanche peoples are Native Americans who lived in an area called the Comancheria.
This is where Eastern New Mexico, Southern Colorado, Southern Kansas, all of Oklahoma and most of Northern and Southern Texas are today.
There once were as many as 20,000 Comanches.
Today the Comanche Nation has 10,000 members, most in Oklahoma (centered at Lawton) and the rest in Texas, California, and New Mexico.
The Comanche speak a language of their own, the Comanche language that is related to other Native American ones, called Uto-Aztecan language family.
The name Comanche was given by the Mexicans and it was the word the Comanche used to call them, komantsia (enemy, foreigner).
But the Comanches' call themselves Numunuu, meaning "human being" or "the People".
They were very good warriors and fought the white settlers and army for many years until they gave up in 1875.
The woman in the family made the teepees.
They gathered wild potatoes, fruits, nuts and berries.
The woman in the family cooked, cleaned and made their clothing.
The clothing was made out either bear, deer, bison, buffalo, wolves or coyotes.

A cuvette is a kind of laboratory glassware, usually a small tube of circular or square cross shape, closed at one end and open at the other, made of plastic, glass, or optical grade quartz and made to hold samples for spectroscopic experiments.
The best cuvettes are as clear as possible, without impurities that might affect a spectroscopic reading.
Like a test tube, a cuvette may be open to the air on top or have a glass or other material to close it.
John Abbot (1587/1588 – c. 1650) was an English Roman Catholic priest and poet.
Nobody knows where he was born, he might have been from either London or Leicester.
Abbot was from a strongly Protestant family because he was the nephew of George Abbot, the Archbishop of Canterbury, but after being educated at Balliol College, Oxford, he travelled to the  European continent where he was converted to Roman Catholicism.
On returning to England he was in Jesuit orders for a while, before working as a priest.
In 1635 he was put in jail.
He was released within a year, but in 1637 he was again arrested, and spent the rest of his life in prison.
His best known work is his poem Devout Rhapsodies (2 vols.,
1647), about the war between Good and Evil and the temptation and fall of man.

In ancient history, a division of labour (or specialisation) was when some people in a city stopped growing crops and took other jobs.
This usually happened because of a surplus of food.
This means that there was more than enough food for everyone, so some people did not have to grow crops anymore.
Xenophon was a philosopher of the 4th century BC.
In his book Cryopedia (The Education of Cyrus) he writes about the division of labour:
"Just as the various trades are most highly developed in large cities, in the same way food at the palace is prepared in a far superior manner.
In small towns the same man makes couches, doors, ploughs and tables, and often he even builds houses, and still he is thankful if only he can find enough work to support himself.
And it is impossible for a man of many trades to do all of them well.
In large cities, however, because many make demands on each trade, one alone is enough to support a man, and often less than one: for instance one man makes shoes for men, another for women, there are places even where one man earns a living just by mending shoes, another by cutting them out, another just by sewing the uppers together, while there is another who performs none of these operations but assembles the parts, Of necessity, he who pursues a very specialised task will do it best."

The Euphrates is the western of the two rivers that define the borders of Mesopotamia.
The other is the Tigris, which joins the Euphrates to form the Shatt-al-Arab and flow into the Persian Gulf.
Several dams have been built since the 1970s.
As a result, less water flows down the river into the sea.

Surplus is when there is more of something  than is needed.

If a business has more of a product available than its customers want to buy at a particular price, an economist would describe the situation by saying the supply is greater than the demand and there would be a "surplus" of the product at that particular price
In Marxian economics, there are surplus product and surplus value.

Madeleine McCann (born 12 May 2003) was reported missing on the evening of Thursday, 3 May 2007 from a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in the Algarve, Portugal.
One newspaper said it was "the most heavily reported missing-person case in modern history".
It is still not known where she is or what happened to her.
Madeleine was on holiday with her parents, her two-year-old twin brother and sister, and family friends.
She and the twins had been left asleep at 20:30 in a ground floor apartment, while the McCanns and friends had dinner in a restaurant  away.
The parents checked on the children every so often, until it was discovered Madeleine was missing at 22:00.
Over the next few weeks, the Portuguese police started to believe that Madeleine had died in an accident in the apartment and the parents had covered it up.
There was a lot of news coverage around the world about the case.
Rumours that Madeleine has been taken to countries such as Morocco and Malta have all turned out to be untrue.
Madeleine's parents have started a website in their daughter's name where people can keep up to date on events and write to the family.
They have also started Madeleine's Fund to which people can give money.
Robert Murat was the first official suspect.
On 8 September 2007, Madeleine's mother, Kate McCann, and her father, Gerry McCann, were declared official suspects as well, after the finding of blood and fluids in their apartment.
Murat stopped being an official suspect in July 2008, Kate and Gerry in August 2008.
However, in June 2020 a possible suspect who is yet to be named is being held in custody for question by German authorities.
The person being held is known to have committed other sexual asaults on children.

It has been staged under various formats almost every year since Sweden first participated in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1958.
The first year, no TV or radio broadcasted event was held, but in 1959.,
the first public competition was held.
The competition is the most popular television programme in Sweden, a title it has held since 2000, at times eclipsing even Eurovision itself.
In 2007, an estimated four million Swedes—almost 44% of the country's population—watched the final, while the semifinals averaged around 3.1 million viewers.
The winner is chosen by a number of regional juries and a national televote.
Until 2001 the competition was normally limited to between eight and twelve songs (in 1981, only five songs), but since the introduction of semifinals in 2002 that number has risen to thirty-two.
The Melodifestival has produced five Eurovision-winning songs and fifteen placings in the top five for Sweden at the Contest.
The event is often seen as being dominated by light orchestrated pop songs, known locally as Schlager.
music—so much so that it is sometimes referred to as "Schlagerfestivalen" (the "Schlager Festival") or "Schlager-SM" ("Swedish schlager championship") by the Swedish media but other styles of music such as rap, reggae and glam rock have made an appearance since the competition's expansion.
The competition makes a significant impact on music charts in Sweden; twenty-three participants reached the domestic singles chart in 2006 and twenty-one in 2007.
There would have been more people taking part, but Agnes Carlsson was disqualified because she discussed her song in an interview with the Aftonblad newspaper.

Hahn became interested in the violin after taking a walk with her father in their Baltimore neighborhood (Zaustinsky 1999).
The two passed a branch of the Peabody Conservatory that advertised music lessons for four-year-olds and observed a music lesson where a young boy was playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Hahn began taking lessons the following week and participated in a Suzuki class for about a year.
In 1995 Hahn made her international debut in Germany with a performance of the Beethoven Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D Major with Lorin Maazel and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The concert was broadcast on radio and television throughout Europe.
A year later, Hahn debuted at Carnegie Hall in New York as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra.
By the age of sixteen, Hahn had completed the Curtis Institute's university requirements, but elected to remain at the Institute for several more years to pursue additional elective courses, until her graduation in May 1999 with a Bachelor Of Music degree.
During this time she regularly coached violin with Jaime Laredo, and studied chamber music with Felix Galimir and Gary Graffman.
In an interview with PBS in December 2001, Hahn stated that of all the musical disciplines, she is most interested in musical performance (PBS Interview).
Hahn has played with orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, just to name a few.
She debuted with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in March 2007.
In 2001, Time Magazine named Hahn as “America’s Best” young classical musician.
Throughout her career, Hahn has performed with numerous orchestras around the globe.
She previously recorded five albums with Sony Classical, but now records exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon.
In 1996 Sony Music signed Hahn to an exclusive recording contract, which made her one of the youngest exclusive artists in the label’s history.
Hahn’s first recording, released in 1997, featured selected solo sonatas and partitas by J.S. Bach, and spent weeks as a bestseller on the Billboard classical charts.
In addition to being a solo violinist, Hahn has also performed as a chamber musician.
Since the summer of 1992 she has performed nearly every year with the Skaneateles Chamber Music Festival in Skaneateles, New York.
Between 1995 and 2000 she spent performing and studying chamber music at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont, and in 1996 she served as an artist and a member of the chamber music mentoring program of The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
From Sony Classical to Deutsche Grammophon
Hahn signed with Deutsche Grammophon in 2003 after her contract with Sony expired in 2002.
After Hahn completed her part of the contract with Sony, which was for five recordings over six years, she decided against renewing the contract due to the fact that she and Sony did not agree on her future projects (Lark Ascending).
In an interview with Strings Magazine conducted in 1999, Hahn cited several people as being influential on her development as a musician and a student.
Two of these influences include David Zinman, the conductor of the Baltimore Symphony and Hahn’s mentor since she was ten, and Lorin Maazel, with whom she worked in Europe with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
In the interview, Hahn also stated that she enjoys watching movies, reading, and writing in her free time.
Other hobbies that she lists include: meeting new people, exploring cities, ballet, working out, swimming, and bike riding.
She also enjoys animals and rowing (The Daily Princetonian).
What she plays
Hilary Hahn plays an 1864 Vuillaume violin( II Cannone Guarneri copy) that was formerly owned by the Russian violinist Samuel Lande who was a friend of Klara Berkovich, Hahn’s first teacher.
Hahn uses Dominant strings and bows by French bow makers Paul Jombar and Emil Miquel (Zaustinsky 1999).
But now, she plays on the 1865 Vuillaume violin( Alard Stradivarius copy) which she bought at Tarisio Auctions.
On playing Bach
As of 1999, Hahn has stated that she plays Bach more than any other composer and that she has played solo Bach pieces every day since she was eight (Zaustinsky 1999).
The following is an excerpt from the liner notes to Hahn’s album Hilary Hahn Plays Bach:
"Bach is, for me, the touchstone that keeps my playing honest.
Keeping the intonation pure in double stops, bringing out the various voices where the phrasing requires it, crossing the strings so that there are not inadvertent accents, presenting the structure in such a way that it's clear to the listener without being pedantic - one can't fake things in Bach, and if one gets all of them to work, the music sings in the most wonderful way."
(Saint Paul’s Sunday)
In a segment on NPR entitled “Musicians in Their Own Words”, Hahn speaks about the surreal experience of playing the Bach Chaconne (from the Solo Violin Partita No.
2) alone on the concert stage.
In the same segment, she also discusses her experiences emulating a lark while playing The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
