途中の暗闇にいても
何も見えず
不安な気持ちだから
みんなの心に灯りを
ともしてすすもう
一人で進むその道は
悲しいことも
考えてしまうけれど
手と手を繋げば
優しくなれるはずだよ
心の目を開いたら
明るい未来が待ってるから
過去、現在、未来
みんな歩いてゆけるよ
歩ける道が見えたなら
一人じゃないよ
心を繋げてく
未来への扉にむかって
すすめるはずだよ
心の目を開いたら
明るい未来が待ってるから
過去、現在、未来
みんな歩いてゆけるよ
みんなで未来への扉を
その手であけよう

A Song of Hope, Shining to the World
In 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck. At just 10 years old, Hirari Sato, guided by her mother, traveled on her own feet through the disaster-stricken areas, empathizing with those affected and reflecting deeply on their experiences. This inspired her to write and compose her debut song "Mirai" (Future). The entire proceeds from CD sales of this song, which she performed across the country, were donated through the Ashinaga Foundation to children orphaned by the disaster, becoming a beacon of hope and light for the future_not only for those in the affected areas but for countless others.
At 12, she won the weekly championship at Amateur Night at the Apollo Theater in New York. She has performed the Japanese national anthem "Kimigayo" on historic stages, including before Their Majesties the Emperor Emeritus and Empress Emerita (then Emperor and Empress), and at the Opening Ceremony of the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
Currently, she serves as the only Japanese Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Choirs Peace Concert, and participated in Youth TICAD (Tokyo International Conference on African Development) held in Ghana, Africa. She continues to grow and thrive through her activities both in Japan and abroad.
