The Conanimal Project introduces a new approach to animal welfare activities under the slogan "A Life with Dignity for Animals." Just three months after the release of the first installment of Listen, Sing, and Dance to Save SKU (Save Animals), titled Ashitaninareba- What Cats Taught Me, the second installment has already been unveiled.

Zinney Imasato's dog, TEN, passed away suddenly, leaving her in deep sorrow. However, through this sadness, she came to realize that even the pain was part of the wonderful days she cherished with TEN-a testament to the heartfelt bond they shared. This realization inspired her to write the song as a way to express her gratitude toward TEN.

The song's first vocal recording was performed by singer-songwriter Sakina. Initially intended as a demo, her unique voice-combining an ethereal, almost inorganic quality with a warm, organic resonance-created such a distinctive and captivating sound that it felt like something extraordinary was about to emerge. Consequently, the demo version was released unchanged.

Sakina's personal experience of grieving for her beloved cats was also woven into the song. She reflects that the song reminded her not of the loss, but of the beautiful moments she shared with them, celebrating the joy of their companionship.

The name Conanimal represents the project's vision, created by Zinney Imasato (activist name), a former animal welfare advocate and lyricist for Animal Whisperer, and Ryo Matsui, a dog lover and former guitarist for The Brilliant Green, who has been actively involved in animal protection. Founded in 2024, Conanimal strives to deliver messages from the perspective of animals and convey appreciation for the relationship between humans and animals.

All songs produced by Conanimal reflect the voices and emotions of animals, aiming to deepen the connection between humans and their animal companions. The name Conanimal symbolizes the project's mission of achieving true symbiosis between humans and animals and fostering a barrier-free society.

This particular song captures the beautiful chemistry between Sakiina and a rising star who has appeared as if by fate, bringing new energy to the project.

Artist Profile

  • Conanimal

    Conanimal was founded by two passionate animal advocates: Ryo Matsui, former guitarist of The brilliant green, and Zinney Imasato, a lyricist, animal welfare activist, and animal whisperer. The unit was created through the shared commitment they both hold toward animals. The voices of the animals that Zinney Imasato has encountered and listened to over many years, combined with the musical sensibility and sound craftsmanship that Ryo Matsui has developed throughout his career, form the foundation of Conanimal. Through this fusion, Conanimal has grown into more than a musical unit. It has become a project that presents new ways to engage with animal welfare through music. A defining characteristic of Conanimal is its unique approach of changing the vocalist for each song. This is not a simple guest appearance. It is a philosophy that welcomes the voice most suitable for the theme of each piece. By selecting the voice that best reflects the story and message of the animals behind each song, the world of Conanimal becomes more dimensional, sincere, and emotionally resonant. With the addition of new and talented young musicians, the renewed New Conanimal continues to expand its creative reach and evolve its activities.
