"BGM #09" from Gonta no Okiraku Daibouken on the Game Boy Color (2000)
Composer: Unknown

If I were to tell you that there was a Game Boy Color game that centered around a canine mascot heavily featured in dog food commercials in Japan in the late 1990s and early 2000s, you'd likely believe me. So now that you're on board, we're featuring "BGM #09" from Gonta no Okiraku Daibouken (Gonta's Great Adventure). I couldn't find a whole lot about this game or the golden lab Gonta whom the game is based. Apparently, Gonta was a very popular dog on the Japanese TV program Mezamashi TV during the "Kyuo no Wanko" segment that would feature good doggos. This might even be the same "Gonta," but from what I was able to find out, "Gonta" is a modestly popular dog's name in Japan.
As for the music, from what I was able to find out, some of the music in Gonta no Okiraki Daibouken was adapted from the music that was used during the "Kyuo no Wanko" segments, so it's likely that "BGM #09" was pre-existing music written for Mezamashi TV and not specifically for the video game. But as for who the composer was, I wasn't able to find any reliable leads; although there were some AI-generated leads that were all further unverifiable.
So all we're left with is a catchy little chiptune from an obscure Japanese Game Boy Color game about a popular dog featured in a segment about good dogs, and continues to grace the labels of Sunrise brand dog treats.
