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 animals echo throughout the world Founded in 2024, Conanimal is a music unit dedicated to animal welfare, led by lyricist and animal advocate Zinney Imasato and guitarist Ryo Matsui (formerly of The brilliant green). In 2025, new members joined to launch "Listen, Sing, Dance, SKU (Save)", a participatory project that encourages action through music and creativity. The name "Conanimal" derives from the Latin roots of consider - con (together) and sider (star) - symbolizing the deep bond between humans and animals who share our lives more closely than the stars above. Conanimal's songs are told from the perspective of animals, expressing love, gratitude, and the value of life. Three tracks have been released: - "Ashitaninareba ~What My Cat Taught Me " Inspired by Imasato's late cat Dies, performed by aimi-ku, and described as an animal-themed "We Are the World". Now available for karaoke via JOYSOUND. - "The Words I Longed to Say" A tribute to his beloved dog TEN and the joy of time shared, voiced by singer-songwriter Sakina. - "Longing for the Lion" Based on a poem Imasato wrote at age 11, expressing his early commitment to animal rescue. The project collaborates with JEHO, producer Norio Sakai (Senzoku Gakuen College of Music), and finger-tutting dance group XTRAP. Participating animals - including viral Shiba Inu police dog Ai, and gifted dogs Blacky and Thanks - also serve as project navigators. Two interactive initiatives invite public participation: - Listen, Sing, Dance, SKU (#Conanimal): Creative expressions like singing, dance, art, or calligraphy posted on social media contribute directly to animal welfare funds. - Listen, Sing, SKU (#The First Penguin): Participants record vocals in a single take, embodying courage and emotional depth. The "first vocalist" role, inspired by the First Penguin concept, rotates across tracks - renewing the message with each new voice and expanding the circle of empathy. Conanimal's mission is to offer multi-sensory experiences that foster compassion and advocate for a society where humans and animals truly coexist. Led by Imasato, its music becomes a vessel for protecting animal dignity and addressing welfare challenges in Japan.
