Description

[Machine Translation] Since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster, the group has frequently traveled to the affected areas to hold live concerts to encourage the victims, and has been further expanding its activities. The request came from the NPO "PeaceRun," headed by adventure runner Katsuhiko Takashige. Mr. Takashige is currently running across the world's five continents to promote the preciousness of peace, and on November 24, 2011, he successfully crossed the American continent. He has just successfully completed the crossing of the U.S. continent on November 24, 2011. Since the March 11 disaster, Peace Run has been calling for runners across Japan to participate in the "Run X 10 Movement," a campaign to donate 10 yen for every kilometer run. The amount of money raised has already exceeded 1,400,000,000 yen. Encourager also supports the "Run X 10 Movement," and has started the "Song X 10" movement in the hope that the same movement can be done with songs. For every song sung on the streets or at live performances, 10 yen is donated. After many meetings with Mr. Takashige, who shares the same feelings for the disaster-stricken areas, Encourager wrote lyrics and music based on keywords filled with Mr. Takashige's own feelings and determination, and completed two songs to support all runners who continue to run their lives.

Description in Japanese

Go The Distance / 励まし屋

2011年3月の震災以降には度々被災地に出向き、被災者の方を励ますライブを行い、活動の場をさらに広げている励まし屋に楽曲提供の依頼が舞い込んだ。依頼主は、アドヴェンチャーランナー、高繁勝彦さんが代表を務めるNPO法人"PeaceRun"。高繁さんは、現在世界五大陸を走って横断する旅を通じて、平和の尊さを訴える活動を行っており、去る2011年11月24日にはアメリカ大陸横断を無事達成されたばかり。この活動Peace Runのテーマソングを作ってもらえないか、というのが今回の依頼。また、PeaceRunでは3月11日の震災以降、全国のランナーに向けて1キロ走るごとに10円を募金する運動「Run X 10運動」を呼びかけ、現在では約10000人がTwitterでハッシュタグ#runx10をつけることで参加を表明し、集まった募金はすでに1400万円を超えている。この「Run ×10 運動」に励まし屋も賛同し、歌でも同じように運動ができないかと考え、「Song ×10」運動を開始。ストリートやライブで1曲歌うごとに10円を募金する活動を続けている。被災地への想いを共有する高繁さんとともに、打ち合わせを重ね、高繁さんご自身の想いや決意の詰まったキーワードを基に、励まし屋が作詞、作曲、を行い、人生を走り続ける全てのランナーたちへの応援ソングを2曲完成させた。
