Released in 2017, this heartbreak hit surpassed 400 million total streams as of March 2026.
Based on vocalist Shinya Ishihara’s own experiences, its beautifully painted scenes, lyrics depicting a bittersweet farewell, and a conversational melody resonated with listeners; it was also performed on THE FIRST TAKE in 2021.
Saucy Dog is extremely popular among teenage students and is sung in voice training by both boys and girls.
Since the singing style in the chorus is completely different from the rest of the song, be careful not to sing them the same way.
The key to the chorus is to really open your throat and project your voice fully.

A song by Saucy Dog that vividly captures the restless, fidgety feelings from a male perspective and the slightly awkward atmosphere of a new relationship.
It was released in March 2020 and included on the mini-album “Take Me,” which came out in September of the same year.
The anxiety and jealousy born from being mutually in love—and therefore not wanting to lose the other person—tighten your chest, especially when mixed with the exhilaration of summer.
Yet the song also expresses deep affection for a partner who accepts that clumsiness, along with a warm resolve to build a future together, which makes your heart feel at ease as you listen.
If you play it on a summer evening spent together, you’ll surely be reminded of how precious you are to each other.
