「手をとりあって」
掛け替えのないものが
わたしの世界から消えた
消えない痛み いえない悲しみ
なぜ 生かされたの
胸の奥から零れる
堪えきれない想い
先の見えない不安の中
燈る命
あなたは決して 独りじゃないから
希望のあかりを絶やさないで
やさしい風があなたのもとへ
愛を届けてくれますように
あなたは 在りのまま
まっすぐに生きてゆける
寄り添い 支え合い 共に生きよう
手をとりあって
誰もが持って生まれた
尊い笑顔を
あなたのいのちの輝きに
気づいていますか
弱さも強さも兼ね備えている
みんな同じ 人だもの
だから人は人と 関わり生きるのでしょう
あなたとわたしも
あなたは 在りのまま
まっすぐに生きてゆける
寄り添い 支え合い 共に生きよう
手をとりあって
あなたの光は 誰かの光と
触れ合うたび 大きく育ってゆく
鼓動に乗って 心開いて
今 解き放って
あなたは 在りのまま
まっすぐに生きてゆける
寄り添い 支え合い 共に生きよう
手をとりあって
手をとりあって

Hand in Hand
Eri Imamachi
We are never alone.
Even when we cannot see it, even when we cannot feel it,
we are always walking forward-hand in hand-with someone.
This song was born from my own experience of surviving disaster,
and from memories of being saved by music.
Believing in the warmth of hands that connect us across the world,
I now offer it forth on a path of light.
At times gentle, at times strong,
this is a song for all those who take each step forward-
holding hands with the light, believing in themselves, believing in the world.
May this music, woven with sound, words, and pure vibration,
touch the deepest place in your heart,
and kindle a light of comfort and courage within you.
On June 21, 2025-the Summer Solstice,
the day when light reaches its fullest bloom-
I send this prayer out into the world.
Artist Profile
Eri Imamachi
A singer-songwriter from Nakanoto Town, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. She began her musical career in 2015, mainly performing in Tokyo. She released four self-produced singles and one full-length album, and also worked as a radio personality, delivering heartfelt messages through her music and voice. In 2023, she moved her base of activities to Nakanoto, known as the town where the world's oldest rice ball (onigiri) fossil was discovered. Inspired by this, she created a music video titled "ONIGIRI," featuring choreography by KOHMEN. Over 1,000 people-including local students, residents, the Governor of Ishikawa, and Ms. Ukon, the owner of the famous rice ball shop "Bongo" -came together across generations and backgrounds, making it a joyful project that continues to spread nationwide. On January 1, 2024, the Noto Peninsula Earthquake struck, completely destroying her home. From that experience, she wrote and released support songs such as "Te wo Toriatte" and "Hand in Hand." On the six-month anniversary of the disaster, she held support concerts at two evacuation shelters in Wajima City. Even after a year and a half, she continues to sing at support events, temporary housing sites, and festivals across and beyond the prefecture. Last year, she performed in Mie Prefecture, and this year, she expanded her reach to Tokyo (twice) and Fukui, sharing music that brings "courage to live." and "the light of hope." On January 1, 2025, she released the music video for "Hand in Hand," which includes scenes showing the current state of the affected areas, her home scheduled for demolition at the end of August, and her performance with young dancers she met at support events.
