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.
