Sorry, dog.wāsuta
It’s a charming, warm, and humorous story themed around the relationship between a cat and a dog.
Through the daily life of an elderly woman and her two pets, it gently conveys the importance of caring for one another.
Though they sometimes play mean tricks on each other, the way they ultimately come to accept one another is heartwarming.
The affectionate nature of the dog and the cat’s reluctance to be honest are depicted in perfect balance.
Released in February 2023 as Wasuta’s 10th single, it was also used in a vocational school commercial.
It’s a recommended track not only for pet owners but also for anyone struggling with an important relationship.
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.
LALALA feat. WakadannaKato Miria
This is a song released in 2007 by singer-songwriter Miliyah Kato—who was also known as a “charismatic figure among high school girls”—with Shonan no Kaze’s Wakadanna as producer.
It’s written about Miliyah’s beloved dog, LALA.
Anyone who has owned a dog can relate: a dog’s life is shorter than a human’s, and the time to say goodbye inevitably comes—it’s incredibly painful and sad.
Precisely because of that, the song conveys the desire to cherish the time we can live together.
Be with you.BoA
Released in 2008, “be with you.” is BoA’s 26th single.
It was used as the theme song for the film “10 Promises to My Dog.” BoA herself owns a dog, and since the work’s theme is the bond between dogs and humans, she said she sang from a dog’s perspective and feelings.
cherry blossomTakano Kenichi
It’s a song released in 2007 that sings about a beloved dog who has passed away.
Its basis is Kanako Nishi’s novel Sakura.
In the story, the narrator “I” and the dog “Sakura” appear.
The longing to meet the deceased dog once more, and the deep earnestness of that wish, come through clearly.
Cerberussōtaisei riron
This song has a mysterious atmosphere and worldview.
It’s a work by the band Soutei Riron (a.k.a.
Ringo Shiina’s side project? actually, ‘Soutaiseiriron’) included on their fifth album, “Tensei Jingle,” released in 2016.
The word “Cerberus” might sound scary, but the song itself is very cute.
It plays on the idea of a Cerberus that never lets go once it bites and the feeling of wanting to stay with you forever, no matter what—like a love song.
Sparkling keyboard tones, transparent guitar phrases, and Etsuko Yakushimaru’s delicate, ephemeral vocals—the ensemble is wonderful.

Nice to Meet You.” It’s sung from the perspective of a dog thinking about its owner, and the lyrics mention specific memories like playing together and the doghouse built for the dog.
