Because You Were There

"The song that echoed through the halls on that day. Unbeknownst to parents, children grow into adulthood, step by step."

On the day of a junior high school graduation ceremony in Kanagawa, Japan, this song was played for graduates, parents, and teachers, gently enveloping the venue in emotion. "Because You Were There" (Anata ga Itekureta kara) is a graduation song based on true events, written by artist tatsuya-A for his eldest daughter's milestone.

A Fusion of Technology and Human Warmth
The tears hidden at home, the steady breaths taken before the front door, the anxieties swallowed down with a brave face - the transparent voice of a virtual vocalist speaks for the inner world of children that parents rarely see.

Supporting these delicate echoes are live recordings of piano and guitar. The marriage of digital serenity and the warmth of human performance speaks quietly, yet profoundly, to the depths of the listener's memory.

Three Stories to Reawaken Lifelong Memories
1. Because You Were There
The main track featuring rich chorus work and an emotional climax where the final phrase is sung an octave higher. A powerful original version that captures the overflow of gratitude with maximum intensity.

2. Because You Were There (Graduation Version)
Another story tailored for a quiet departure. By keeping the final arrangement subtle, this version is perfectly designed to harmonize with personal slideshows, vlogs, and moments of reflection where your own memories take center stage.

3. Because You Were There (Instrumental)
An original karaoke track that allows you to fully appreciate the live piano and guitar performances. A backing track for those moments when you want to deliver your own feelings with your own voice.

When you listen to this song again, ten years from now.
The cold air of the gymnasium, the smallness of your child's back on that day, the tears of joy, and the years spent walking together - this song will serve as a "time capsule," vividly reviving fading memories.

To every parent, and to every former child taking a new step forward. This is a unique memorial single that stays close to the memories of you and your family.
