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

    Launched on January 1, 2025, with the release of "Ashitaninareba (What My Cat Taught Me)," Conanimal is an "Animal-First" musical unit dedicated to delivering messages from animals and the profound stories shared between humans and their animal companions. The unit was born from the shared vision of two passionate animal advocates: Ryo Matsui, former guitarist of The brilliant green, and Zinney Imasato, a lyricist, animal rights activist, and animal whisperer. By merging Zinney's deep connection with animal voices with Matsui's decades of sophisticated sound-making, Conanimal has transcended the boundaries of a traditional music group. They have become a pioneering force, proposing a new way for society to engage with animal welfare through the power of art. A New Era: The Birth of "Shin-sei" (Newborn) Conanimal This latest release marks the first step for the "Newborn Conanimal," featuring a freshly assembled band. The addition of young, talented musicians has breathed new life into Ryo Matsui's arrangements, resulting in a raw, groove-heavy funk sound. Recorded live in the studio, the track captures the visceral energy and atmosphere of a live performance-making it the most dynamic piece in the unit's history. A Powerful Collaboration The lead vocals are performed by Maho Inagawa (also known as Inamaho), who previously contributed chorus work to "Longing for the Lion." Zinney Imasato discovered her after being captivated by her cover of Vaundy's "napori" on Instagram. Her soulful rhythm, stylish phrasing, and depth of vocal expression made her the definitive choice for this project. Set to a funk-rock groove, this exhilarating and playful track features messages from animals delivered through rap-performed by none other than Okinawa's world-renowned dance entertainer, RINO NAKASONE. From Local Passion to Global Impact The intersection of music, dance, and advocacy allows Conanimal's work to transcend genres and borders. With these formidable new collaborators, the project is entering a phase of global expansion. In fact, Conanimal's innovative approach to animal protection was featured in the global news magazine TIME in the fall of 2025, garnering international attention for their philosophy and impact. Conanimal continues to evolve, bringing the voices of animals to the world stage.
