It carefully portrays the delicate feelings of a woman who can’t express herself well: while harboring the desire to know the other person more and to have them all to herself, and feeling love for them, she’s already fed up, believing there’s nothing more she can do.

Chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by Me and Mr.

Wolf,” the track was released digitally in August 2024, and is memorable for its emotional band sound and Shinya Ishihara’s vocals.

It’s a perfect song for those who can’t grasp how the person they like truly feels and are struggling with inner conflict.

Recommended for anyone who can relate to the sorrow of loving someone yet being unable to move forward.

Saucy Dog “Kimi ga Inai” Music Video <5th Mini Album “Lazy Sunday” Released on 2021.8.25>

A number by Saucy Dog that resonates with the heart in the summer twilight.

This song sets the protagonist’s aching feelings—holding on to unforgettable memories of love and a longing that can’t reach its destination—to a driving, exhilarating melody.

The emotions wavering between scenes of joyful days and the reality that can never be reclaimed tighten the listener’s chest.

The sentiment, akin to resignation, of “I can’t believe in forever” deeply resonates.

Released in July 2021, the track is also included on the mini-album Lazy Sunday.

It served as the ending theme for Iwate Menkoi TV’s music program BEATNIKS in September 2021.

It will surely stay close to your heart.

Respawn

This is a song by the three-piece band Saucy Dog that carefully depicts the complex emotions of lovers drifting past each other.

It’s included on the mini-album “Lazy Sunday,” released in August 2021.

The overlapping voices of vocalist Shinya Ishihara and drummer Yuika Seto compellingly convey the stark difference in temperature between the one ending things and the one who can’t let go.

Though they should be facing each other, their lack of words gradually unravels the relationship—something many listeners will relate to.

It’s a heartwarming ballad for those confronting the bittersweet reality of wanting to start over but being unable to return to the same place.

This is a medium-tempo ballad by Saucy Dog that vividly portrays the flickers of regret and frustration that surface after missed connections or arguments with a lover.

Shinya Ishihara’s emotive vocals and the band’s sound, which gradually heats up from a subdued, narrative beginning, bring into sharp relief the feelings of cherishing someone tangled with complex emotions.

Released as a digital single in January 2021, it was later included as the closing track on the August 2021 album “Lazy Sunday.” It’s a song you should listen to when the relationship has cooled a bit and you’re unsure—“Do I still love them?”—or when you’re feeling muddled because you can’t quite apologize.

It might just help you realize the true answer deep within your heart.

If you’re feeling weighed down by the flood of information on social media and the suffocating mood of modern society, there’s a Saucy Dog track you should hear.

The song seems to quietly yet powerfully give voice to that inexpressible anger deep inside and to questions aimed at society.

Saucy Dog’s “film” is a song brimming with lingering feelings for an ex-lover.

It’s included on the mini-album “Take Me,” released in 2020.

The simple, unadorned melody and Shinya Ishihara’s strained, heartfelt vocals heighten the song’s poignancy.

Even though I’m still filled with feelings I can’t let go of, they’ve already gone and found a new partner—yet I still can’t give up.

The lyrics trace that kind of looping emotion.

Give it a listen when you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to your own feelings.
