"Anata ga Irukara" (あなたがいるから, lit. "Because You're There") is a song by Japanese singer songwriter Mai Kuraki. It was written by Kuraki, Yue Mochizuki and Akira Onozuka.[1] The song was released on April 11, 2011 to support victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The proceedings were donated to the Japanese Red Cross Society to benefit the victims.[2]

The song was later released as "Anata ga Irukara (Fantasy on Ice 2011 version)". It features messages from Kuraki and the Japanese figure skater Shizuka Arakawa. The version was also released as video single. The video features Arakawa's and Kuraki's performance at the annual touring show Fantasy on Ice in Japan.[3]
