Dog song: A masterpiece about a beloved dog.

Dogs are so cute, aren’t they?

Their fluffy fur, the way they wag their tails, that excited vibe when they’re waiting for their food, the way their energy shoots up the moment you pick up the leash for a walk… just picturing those scenes is adorable.

In this article, we’re doing a special feature on songs themed around dogs.

They’ve been by our side since long ago.

So of course, there are truly countless songs about dogs.

Some are fun and uplifting to listen to, some are for kids, some compare the singer to a dog, and some even sing about heartbreaking farewells.

I hope you find a song that fits your feelings perfectly.

“Hajimete no Tomodachi” is a song that Hyadain created by adding lyrics to a piece of video game music and posting it on Nico Nico Douga, where it became popular.

The lyrics were so heartrending that they became a hot topic.

The vocals aren’t by a woman either—it’s Hyadain himself, with his voice altered using a voice changer.

The song “Leo,” included on Yuuri’s first album Ich (One), became a hot topic.

It’s a ballad he wrote after the death of his beloved dog.

From the dog’s perspective, it portrays being bought from a pet shop, spending time together and strengthening their bond, and finally passing away.

Since it can be seen as a love song from the dog to its owner, I hope you’ll sing it with deep emotion.

It’s also recommended for those looking for a music video with a moving, story-driven narrative.

Released in September 2023, this piece is a track that firmly embodies SARD UNDERGROUND’s musicality and a message of animal welfare.
