CAT WALKD=Out

The B-side track to D=OUT’s third single “Aisuru Hito,” released on May 2, 2012.

It’s an acoustic pop song with a seasonal feel that imagines taking a stroll through the usual town as a cat.

Nyanpire Calisthenicsasou nyatsuko & hyadain

This is the theme song for Nyanpire, which aired in 2011.

The adorable character, originally from a doujinshi, became a hot topic—many of you may have seen it as a prize in game centers.

Hyadain, the prodigy of internet songs, brings an exhilarating, high-energy sound to this fun exercise(?) track.

A song by the rock band Nekone, Konekone, formed in 2010.

It’s included on their 2016 EP “Neko no Kimagure.” It’s a mysterious track that gives you a fluffy, floating-in-the-air feeling.

From the band name to the song title, it’s a cat-filled piece that’s quintessentially them.

A song released as a single on September 22, 2004.

It won the grand prize at a public broadcasting song battle in 2003.

As a J-pop rockabilly band track centered on electric guitar and drums, it offers a nostalgic feel reminiscent of 1970s youth culture.

Become a cat.Sukima Suichi

Sukima Switch’s song Neko ni Nare (“Become a Cat”) is a track born from a quarrel with his girlfriend, with all the muddled thoughts stewing in his heart turning into music.

Because he can’t bring himself to say what he wants to say to her—or even snap back—the lyrics make you feel, “Ah, this is how he truly feels.” Perhaps many men feel this way when they’ve had a fight with their girlfriend.

In songs, cats are often portrayed as fickle or like little devils, but in this one the cat is depicted as very lovable and gentle.

And in the end, it’s a heartwarming love ballad.

Life is like katsuobushi.Seishiro Kato & Uncle☆Sase

This is a charming song featuring the voice of Kato Seishiro, who was 9 years old when it was released on Minna no Uta in 2010.

It was around the time he appeared in Toyota commercials as the ‘Kid Manager.’ The composer, Uncle☆Sase, also wrote ‘Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun,’ making this a surprisingly remarkable track.

A very unique and adorable song sung by Momoko Tsugunaga, also known as Momochi, the distinctive idol who belonged to Berryz Kobo and Buono!.

Although she is currently on an indefinite hiatus, I don’t think the legendary impact of her strong character will be forgotten anytime soon.
