“Conanimal” released the new music Album “Yes I will (feat. Inagawa maho & RINO NAKASONE)”
“Conanimal” just dropped the new and hot Album “Yes I will (feat. Inagawa maho & RINO NAKASONE)”. It will contain the songs and 'Yes I will (feat. Inagawa maho & RINO NAKASONE)' . Enjoy the J-Pop sound from the far east Asia.
Launched on January 1, 2025, with the release of "Ashitaninareba (What My Cat Taught Me)," Conanimal is an "Animal-First" musical unit dedicated to delivering messages from animals and the profound stories shared between humans and their animal companions.
The unit was born from the shared vision of two passionate animal advocates: Ryo Matsui, former guitarist of The brilliant green, and Zinney Imasato, a lyricist, animal rights activist, and animal whisperer. By merging Zinney's deep connection with animal voices with Matsui's decades of sophisticated sound-making, Conanimal has transcended the boundaries of a traditional music group. They have become a pioneering force, proposing a new way for society to engage with animal welfare through the power of art.
A New Era: The Birth of "Shin-sei" (Newborn) Conanimal
This latest release marks the first step for the "Newborn Conanimal," featuring a freshly assembled band. The addition of young, talented musicians has breathed new life into Ryo Matsui's arrangements, resulting in a raw, groove-heavy funk sound. Recorded live in the studio, the track captures the visceral energy and atmosphere of a live performance-making it the most dynamic piece in the unit's history.
A Powerful Collaboration
The lead vocals are performed by Maho Inagawa (also known as Inamaho), who previously contributed chorus work to "Longing for the Lion." Zinney Imasato discovered her after being captivated by her cover of Vaundy's "napori" on Instagram. Her soulful rhythm, stylish phrasing, and depth of vocal expression made her the definitive choice for this project.
Set to a funk-rock groove, this exhilarating and playful track features messages from animals delivered through rap-performed by none other than Okinawa's world-renowned dance entertainer, RINO NAKASONE.
From Local Passion to Global Impact
The intersection of music, dance, and advocacy allows Conanimal's work to transcend genres and borders. With these formidable new collaborators, the project is entering a phase of global expansion.
In fact, Conanimal's innovative approach to animal protection was featured in the global news magazine TIME in the fall of 2025, garnering international attention for their philosophy and impact. Conanimal continues to evolve, bringing the voices of animals to the world stage.

Conanimal - May the whispers of animals echo throughout the world
Founded in 2024, Conanimal is a music unit dedicated to animal welfare, led by lyricist and animal advocate Zinney Imasato and guitarist Ryo Matsui (formerly of The brilliant green). In 2025, new members joined to launch "Listen, Sing, Dance, SKU (Save)", a participatory project that encourages action through music and creativity.
The name "Conanimal" derives from the Latin roots of consider - con (together) and sider (star) - symbolizing the deep bond between humans and animals who share our lives more closely than the stars above.
Conanimal's songs are told from the perspective of animals, expressing love, gratitude, and the value of life. Three tracks have been released:
- "Ashitaninareba ~What My Cat Taught Me "
Inspired by Imasato's late cat Dies, performed by aimi-ku, and described as an animal-themed "We Are the World". Now available for karaoke via JOYSOUND.
- "The Words I Longed to Say"
A tribute to his beloved dog TEN and the joy of time shared, voiced by singer-songwriter Sakina.
- "Longing for the Lion"
Based on a poem Imasato wrote at age 11, expressing his early commitment to animal rescue.
The project collaborates with JEHO, producer Norio Sakai (Senzoku Gakuen College of Music), and finger-tutting dance group XTRAP. Participating animals - including viral Shiba Inu police dog Ai, and gifted dogs Blacky and Thanks - also serve as project navigators.
Two interactive initiatives invite public participation:
- Listen, Sing, Dance, SKU (#Conanimal):
Creative expressions like singing, dance, art, or calligraphy posted on social media contribute directly to animal welfare funds.
- Listen, Sing, SKU (#The First Penguin):
Participants record vocals in a single take, embodying courage and emotional depth.
The "first vocalist" role, inspired by the First Penguin concept, rotates across tracks - renewing the message with each new voice and expanding the circle of empathy.
Conanimal's mission is to offer multi-sensory experiences that foster compassion and advocate for a society where humans and animals truly coexist. Led by Imasato, its music becomes a vessel for protecting animal dignity and addressing welfare challenges in Japan.
