The Zero Sense10-FEET
Released in December 2022, the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK became a major sensation not only in Japan but overseas as well.
10-FEET’s “Dai-Zerokan” (The Zeroth Sense), produced as the movie’s theme song, was created over two years together with the original author.
It’s said to have been crafted to evoke the film’s worldview while avoiding too many concrete references.
Even so, the driving melody and absorbing sound alone are more than enough to convey the atmosphere of the film’s intense matches.
Aim for a cool finish: keep the arrangement simple, but make sure the core sound has real punch.
chantAdo
Ado’s “Show,” a collaboration track for Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween event “Halloween Horror Nights,” became a huge sensation alongside the blood-soaked zombies’ dance! While it’s also known as a super high-difficulty song characteristic of Ado’s music, which showcases her powerful vocals, there’s absolutely no problem with an easy piano arrangement! The range is wide with plenty of leaps, but the rhythm isn’t that complex, and there aren’t as many chord changes as you might expect from listening—so definitely give it a try!
SPECIALZKing Gnu
King Gnu’s “SPECIALZ,” chosen as the opening theme for the hit anime Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2: Shibuya Incident, mirrors the anime’s worldview through its lyrics, while its ominous sound leaves a powerful impact on listeners.
Beginner piano arrangements inevitably limit the number of notes, but it’s a good idea to get used to an easy arrangement first and then step up to intermediate and advanced versions.
Ultimately, it would be great to tackle a slightly more complex version that lets you fully savor the feel of the original track.
Maximum reachSEKAI NO OWARI
This work, presented to the world by SEKAI NO OWARI—a band boasting world-class prowess—is a song brimming with courage and hope, chosen as the 25th opening theme for the anime ONE PIECE.
Sixteen years since the band’s formation, the track fuses the unique personalities of its four members and carries a message about turning your weaknesses into allies to soar higher.
The lyrics, which emphasize the importance of “continuing to move forward without stopping” and “surpassing your own limits,” are sure to resonate with listeners.
It’s a song that gently pushes the backs of those striving to overcome difficulties and reach their personal best.

This work was produced based on a newly written novel by manga original author Aka Akasaka.
Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Oshi no Ko, it has earned high acclaim on charts both in Japan and abroad.
Brimming with YOASOBI’s signature dynamism, the song features striking lyrics that candidly portray an idol’s inner world.
Its sound, fusing hip-hop with gothic rock, evokes a distinctive atmosphere reminiscent of a live house in Akihabara.
While the piano performance is by no means easy, a pared-down arrangement should make it approachable even for first-timers.
Keep practicing with some creative tweaks and give it a try.
HeroYOASOBI
YOASOBI’s “The Brave” (Yuusha), created from a newly written short story by the original author of the anime, serves as the opening theme for the TV anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End.
As fans of the original work, the two members of YOASOBI focused on capturing the lonely atmosphere of the story and the emotional shifts of the protagonist, Frieren, when producing the song.
Because the lyric-heavy, YOASOBI-style writing makes the melody’s rhythm quite intricate, it’s best to master the melody first and then gradually add the left hand.

This piano arrangement simplifies complex rhythms and the wide pitch range, making it enjoyable even for first-time players.
Express the bittersweet feelings hidden within the pop sensibility through the sound of the piano.
