"“No second-guessing, no overthinking. The way I want to live my life is by doing the things that are important to me, and I think everyone should live that way,” says Mei Semones of her strengthened self-assurance. Through continuously honing in on her signature fusion of indie rock, bossa nova, jazz and chamber pop in a way that highlights her technical prowess on guitar, the 24-year-old Brooklyn-based songwriter and guitarist is quickly establishing herself as an innovative musical force. Since the release of her acclaimed 2024 Kabutomushi EP, a series of lushly orchestrated reflections on love in its many stages, Mei has gone on to tour extensively across the US, cultivate a dedicated following, and write and record her highly anticipated debut album, Animaru. Meaning “animal” in Japanese, Animaru is the embodiment of Mei’s deeper trust in her instincts – a collection of musically impressive tracks that see Mei sounding more adventurous, more vulnerable and more confident than ever before.Mei’s newfound assertiveness comes in part from her experiences in the past year, as 2024 was a transformative year for the Mei Semones band. They shared bills with the likes of Liana Flores, Elephant Gym and Kara Jackson, among others, and Mei transitioned to doing music full-time. Amidst the frequent touring, Mei and her five-piece band recorded the album in the summer of 2024 at Ashlawn Recording Company, a farm studio in Connecticut operated by their friend Charles Dahlke. To these sessions, she brought a batch of tracks that, not unlike Kabutomushi, are sophisticated declarations of non-romantic love: love of life (“Dumb Feeling”), love of family (“Zarigani”), love of music and her guitar (“Tora Moyo”). Animaru exemplifies Mei’s enchantingly wide range as a songwriter and musician, including some of the most challenging and most straightforward songs Mei has ever written.The simpler moments on Animaru are equally as captivating as when Mei is shredding on guitar or her bandmates are carrying out an intricate arrangement. “Donguri,” a stripped-down jazz duo performance between acoustic guitar and upright bass, is the simplest song Mei has ever written, brought to life by Mei sweetly chronicling (mostly in Japanese) what she imagines life would be like as a woodland creature living in the forest. The album’s penultimate track also encompasses themes relating to the titular “animaru.” Translating to “crayfish,” the bright, effervescent “Zarigani” is a nostalgic expression of love for her twin sister, with Mei singing “We’ll always have each other / I love you like my guitar / I love you like no other.” Family is one of the top loves of Mei’s life, with her mom, Seiko Semones, making all of her album and single artwork. Despite Animaru being a statement of Mei’s autonomy and confidence at this point in her life, it's the various loves that she surrounds herself with – her family, her friends, her band, her music – that empower her to do things her own way."

This works better than any other product tried
This is the best. I had tried hemp chews, chamomile and lavender ointment, and thunder vest. And at times all three for my dogs anxiety during storms and any loud noise. Nothing worked. Got this and it calmed him almost immediately and actually calmed him so much he just fell asleep. Glad I ordered two. One for upstairs and down. It’s very cute and soft. Great product with a great price. It’s holding up good so far. Only had for a couple of weeks. Hope it holds up for awhile. As he is not a chewer.

Its amazing
My dog ​​calms down when I put her plush toy near her; when I hear the sound of its heartbeat, I know she's very still.

Dogs can open zipper and pull out all the stuffing easily
Not great for a chewer. My 15 week puppy unzipped it and pulled all of the stuffing out. The stuffing is just loose once you unzip it, there isnt a cloth pocket for the battery pack. She also ate the rectangle hand hold part of the zipper. Really sad this didn't work out. I do feel like it helped her settle a little but just wasn't safe for her. Other than that, it appeared as pictured and worked properly. Also worth noting, the heart beat is LOUD when you put batteries in. I don't know if it calms over time but it was kind of intense.

Zipper is a problem
The first set we received the zipper separated. They were quickly replaced. The zipper tab is very large and our puppy is able to pull it down and pull out all the stuffing. Otherwise it worked to help comfort her until she found the zipper.
