Dog Songs: Classic tracks about beloved dogs (51–60)
From babies to grandpasSION
This song “From Babies to Old Men” is included on SION’s 10th album, “Dakishimete,” released in 1995.
Feeling happy or getting down in the dumps—dogs and humans are the same in that way.
Babies and old men alike are happy when you give them attention, and they feel lonely when you’re cold to them.
It’s a song that really makes you nod and think, “That’s so true.”
Obuchi-kun’s Dog SongKobukuro
A hidden gem from Kobukuro, who always deliver perfectly synchronized harmonies.
The lyrics are from a dog’s perspective and a bit comical, and the reggae-style, upbeat arrangement is incredibly appealing.
It’s included on their 2002 album “grapefruits.”
Dog and a Red FrisbeeYonekura Chihiro
This song was included on Chisato Yonekura’s fourth album, Colours, released in 1999, and on the best-of album Voyager, released in 2010.
It’s a song about a boy’s feelings as he falls in love with a girl who attends the same school.
The dog chasing a red Frisbee is her pet.
The red Frisbee can be seen as representing the girl moving farther away, while the dog symbolizes the boy chasing after her.
I want to be your wind.kami fuusen
Here is a song released in 2003 as part of the Assistance Dog Trio by Kamifusen, a Japanese folk group formed in 1974 and known for hits like “Before Winter Comes.” It’s a support song for the enforcement of the Act on Assistance Dogs for Physically Disabled Persons.
The heartwarming lyrics liken you—whose movements have become difficult because you cannot see—to a boat, while the guide dog Cynthia becomes the wind that carries you to many places.
It’s also rare to find a song about dogs that specifically sings about guide dogs.

It was released in 2003.
It grabbed attention when it was chosen as the opening theme for the sketch comedy show Warau Inu no Jounetsu, which featured the duo Ucchan Nanchan, among others.
Riding an R&B groove, it sings of an unstoppable love.
The beat is so catchy that before you know it, you’ll find your body swaying along—and you’ll want to clap your hands too.
The dog loves ice cream.Makihara Noriyuki
This song, “Dogs Love Ice Cream,” is included on Noriyuki Makihara’s 18th album, released in 2011.

I feel the lyrics could only be written by someone who truly understands dogs’ subtle gestures and behaviors.
