Parting with a beloved dog or cat—cherished members of the family—is one of the most painful experiences for any owner.

The folk duo TANEBI’s song “At the Foot of the Rainbow Bridge” is written from the perspective of beloved pets who have departed from their owners’ side.

The pets who have passed on cross a beautiful Rainbow Bridge.

Unsure of where they are, they recall various moments with their owners and plead, “Please come for me soon.” It’s a song whose heartrending message tightens the chest.

Kumi Koda’s song “So Into You” is about her beloved dog.

It’s a track that conveys how she’s soothed by her dog’s presence and wants to stay together forever.
