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.

    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.
