The song "Ashitaninareba - What Cats Taught Me" was created by lyricist and animal protection activist Zinney Imasato, inspired by the lessons she learned from her late beloved cat, Dies. This song marks the beginning of a journey to connect with animal lovers around the world and unite people's hearts.

In this animal version of "We Are the World," all participants become messengers of the enriching and wonderful experiences of spending time with animals. The project aims to restore true symbiosis between people and animals. Under the slogan "Conanimal," it strives to create a barrier-free society free of all boundaries of species, gender, and race, bringing the whole world together.

The sound producers include Ryo Matsui, former guitarist of the Brilliant Green, and Chinatown diva Aimi Ku, along with animal lovers from various industries. The choreography is done by XTRAP, a finger-tutting dance group gaining worldwide attention.

Zinney Imasato is responsible for the lyrics and will also direct the entire project as executive producer.

Gifttank's talented dogs, Blackie, Thanks, and Ai-a police dog with over 10 million views and more than 6,000 comments-will join in celebrating the wonderful world of animals.

    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.
