The Conanimal Project proposes a new style of animal welfare activities with the slogan "A Life of Dignity for Animals."
Listen, sing, and dance to save (SKU).

The third track in the project is based almost entirely on a poem written by Conanimal's producer, Zinney Imasato-a lyricist and animal welfare activist-when she was just 11 years old.

The first vocal for this song is performed by Sakina, a singer-songwriter who also sang the second track, "The Words I Longed to Say." Initially recorded as a demo on the same day as "Words I Wanted to Say," Sakina's straightforward and unembellished vocals added vibrant colors to a poem written decades ago, drawing listeners into a "Garden of Eden" from a distant past where humans and animals lived in harmony.

Time may pass, but her unchanged spirit remains vivid. The lyrics capture the formative experience that sparked Zinney Imasato's dedication to animal rescue, her sense of helplessness as a young girl, and her resolve to make a difference-all expressed through the words of an 11-year-old.

The project's name doubles as the artist name: "Conanimal." The unit was founded in 2024 by Zinney Imasato, an animal whisperer, lyricist, and animal welfare activist, and Ryō Matsui, a former guitarist for The Brilliant Green and a dog lover, to advocate for animal protection activities.

All of Conanimal's songs are composed of messages from animals, conveying gratitude toward them or exploring human-animal relationships. The name "Conanimal" was coined by Zinney Imasato and embodies her wish for the term to become a catchphrase representing the true coexistence of humans and animals and the realization of a barrier-free society.

As with previous works, this song features a unique hybrid of inorganic and organic voices, offering a new chemical reaction between Sakina and the project

Artist Profile

  • Conanimal

    Conanimal- May the whispers of the animals be heard - Conanimal is a unit formed in 2024 by Zinney Imasato (activist name), an animal rights activist and lyricist, and Ryo Matsui, a dog lover and former guitarist of The brilliant green, for the purpose of animal protection activities. All the songs produced by Conanimal are composed of messages from animals, conveying the animal's perspective, gratitude to animals, and themes related to the relationship with animals. The unit name Conanimal is a coined word created by Zinney Imasato, with the wish that it will become a password for "true symbiosis between humans and animals and the realization of a barrier-free society". Consider is the English word for carefully considering things (deliberation). Con is Latin for "together", sider is "star" Since ancient times, people have been with the stars, believing that all the answers are in the stars. But for us living on the ground, there was a being that was closer and more intimately involved with us, asking for teachings. It is "animals". We are always with animals, receiving blessings from animals and "living together". Earth stars, Conanimal with animals This word must have existed. Once again, to live with animals, to regain those days when we walked together... such thoughts are put into the unit name. Conanimal, which embodies this philosophy, includes not only sound producer Ryo Matsui, but also singer-songwriter JEHO who is in charge of composition, Aimi Ward, the diva of Chinatown as the first vocalist, Norio Sakai who has worked with many artists such as Princess Princess and White Berry (currently a professor at Senzoku Gakuen College of Music), and XTRAP, a finger tattoo dance group that is attracting attention from the world, who choreographed Masaharu Fukuyama's song "Yo". Like a pebble thrown into the water that gradually spreads ripples, a wide range of talents have gathered, and this new style of protection activity is widely permeating people's hearts. Zinney Imasato spends time with his beloved cat Diez, puts the valuable experiences learned from Diese into lyrics, and conveys the splendor of animals with hearts that are no different from humans. He is the executive producer, directing the entire project, believing that protecting the dignity of animal life and solving the animal problems that Japan is currently facing. And the label, Gifttank, is proud of its gifted dogs Blackie and Thanks, and "Police dog Shiba Inu Ai-chan," which has over 10 million views and over 6,000 comments, are navigating to a wonderful world with animals. "Ashitaninareba ~What my cat taught me~," which was produced by Zinney Imasato based on the messages conveyed by her deceased beloved cat Diez, was released on January 1, 2025. The goal is an animal version of "We are the world," where people who love animals and wish for animals to have a dignified life sing, dance, and spread it on SNS, becoming messengers to convey how much richer and wonderful days it is to spend with animals. With the slogan of "Conanimal (living together)," we aim for the whole world to become one with the goal of realizing a barrier-free society for all species, genders, and races.
