A heartwarming ballad themed around unconditional love.
This piece expresses deep affection for a dog and a relationship of trust through grand soundscapes and a powerful melody.
With memories of her beloved dog in her heart, Beverly delivers a passionate vocal performance that weaves together tenderness and bittersweet emotion.
Released in September 2024 as the theme song for the lost-pet search app “Pet no Omawari-san,” this gem of a love song portrays the joy of days spent together and the strong bond that keeps hearts connected even when apart.
It resonates with the feelings of owners who cherish their pets, and its moving lyrics and beautiful melody give listeners courage and strength.
footprint(s)Kobukuro
A song that gently weaves a farewell to a beloved presence.
Looking back on days spent with a cherished dog, it portrays with warmth the traces that presence left on the heart, even as it accepts an eternal parting.
Its acoustic sound and melody offer comfort to the feelings of pet loss—an experience many may face.
Included on Kobukuro’s album “QUARTER CENTURY,” released in September 2024, this piece gives courage to move forward: to carry the sorrow of losing a loved one while never forgetting gratitude for the time shared.
It is a song that will bring deep empathy and healing to those who have lost a precious family member.
Dog’s Song ~Thank You~Eijia Enjinia
This song is about the feelings for a beloved dog who passed away.
In 2008, SHUHEI, the lead vocalist of Asia Engineer, lost his dog Go.
He sings about his reflections on that experience and his gratitude.
When a demo version was released online, many people requested that it be put on CD.
Dog and MoonBONNIE PINK
This is the eighth single by singer-songwriter BONNIE PINK, released in 1998 when she was still credited as “Bonnie Pink.” It was produced by Tore Johansson, who took the world by storm with his Swedish sound, and the pop sensibility—distinct from what’s typically considered Japanese—leaves a strong impression.
Lyrically, it seems to liken “me and you” to “a dog and the moon,” which, if that’s the case, makes it a somewhat bittersweet song.
It may just be a rumor, but there’s also a theory that listening to this track inspired Sheena Ringo to write “A Loser to the Moon.”
Nighty nightmafumafu
Mafumafu’s 2021 track “Nighty Night” is told from the perspective of a beloved dog at the moment its life’s flame is going out.
The lyrics depict it about to take its last breath in front of its owner, while recalling various memories as if watching a life flash before its eyes.
For those who have actually been present in such moments with a cherished dog or cat, this song may especially bring back that day and move them to tears.
It’s a song that tightens the heart with the message: even if we can’t play anymore, I’ll always be watching over you, my owner.
First Love RendezvousAnimal☆Collection
A new single has arrived from Animal☆Collection, an idol group themed around pets and brimming with love for adorable animals.
It’s a sweet-and-sour love song that compares the feelings of first love—meeting someone who gazes at you with gentle eyes, the moment your heart starts pounding, and the irresistible curiosity that follows—to the courtship behaviors of animals.
Since its release in July 2024, the group has held live events across Tokyo, including at Tower Records Shibuya, captivating audiences with their cute dance performances.
This track is recommended not only for dog lovers, but also for anyone who wants to relive the bittersweet memories of first love or simply warm their heart with a gentle, comforting feeling.
Dog Songs: Classic Hits About Beloved Dogs (21–30)
Puppies’ Carnival — from “Minute Waltz (Little Dog Waltz)”EHAMIC
If you’re learning piano, you might recognize it just from the title.
It’s an arrangement of Frédéric Chopin’s famous “Waltz No.
6,” also known as the “Minute Waltz.” It was used as the ending theme for the music-themed anime “ClassicaLoid.” The tropical vibe of the arrangement is unexpected, but thanks to the familiar melody, it feels completely natural.
By the way, the vocals aren’t human—they’re VOCALOID.
It’s a work that’s very characteristic of EHAMIC.
