strong wind slicked-back hairyukopi
Many of you have probably seen the animation on social media of a child with a school backpack skipping while playing the recorder against a headwind, right? The music in that video is Yukopi’s “Kyōfū All Back”! With lyrics that depict the all-too-relatable situation of your hair getting swept back by the wind, and a simple, striking melody, it’s the kind of song you can’t forget once you’ve heard it.
When playing it on the piano, the key point is to make the dotted rhythm of the melody bounce just like a skip! It’s also a great idea to actually try skipping to get a feel for the rhythm before you play.
Mephistojoōbachi
A song by the rock band QUEEN BEE that drew attention as the ending theme of the hugely popular anime “Oshi no Ko.” Many people might say, “That powerful vocal—Avu-chan’s voice—just won’t leave my head!” Because it’s uptempo and has a wide melodic range, you might think it’s difficult to play on the piano, but if you choose a simple arrangement for the left hand, following the melody isn’t all that hard.
Set aside the flashy feel of the original for now and start by practicing slowly, note by note.
Tied in with the anime that aired from April 2023, it became a work that resonated with many people.
KICK BACKYonezu Kenshi
This piece was written as the opening theme for the anime Chainsaw Man, created by Kenshi Yonezu with heartfelt affection for the original work.
It’s a track that fuses energetic rock sounds with elements of drum’n’bass, characterized by a fast tempo and a structure that makes frequent use of key changes.
The lyrics weave in a desire for self-fulfillment and an attitude of embracing life’s uncertainty, evoking deep empathy in listeners.
When attempting to play it on piano, start by practicing at a slow tempo.
Although the range is fairly wide, choosing an arrangement with simplified left-hand movement should make it enjoyable even for first-time players.
Add dynamics to perform with rich expression!

Que sera, seraMrs. GREEN APPLE
The single released by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE in April 2023 was written as the theme song for a drama starring Nana Seino.
Its bright, uplifting sound and soaring vocals are captivating, but what stands out most are the lyrics that give you the courage to move forward step by step.
It’s a motivational anthem that portrays facing life’s challenges, with the positive message encapsulated in the phrase “que sera sera” leaving a strong impression.
The song won the 65th Japan Record Award and captured the hearts of many listeners.
When performing it on piano, aim for a grand, expansive rendition with plenty of dynamic contrast to convey the strength of the lyrics.
SubtitleOfisharu Higedan Dism
The winter ballad released in October 2022 drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “silent.” This work is striking for Official Hige Dandism’s clear, translucent vocals and emotionally rich lyrics.
It skillfully conveys the power of words and the difficulty of communication.
Its strong, message-driven quality—reminiscent of Aesop’s fable “The North Wind and the Sun”—is also appealing.
It’s perfect both as a song that colors the drama and for those who want to savor lyrics that resonate with the heart.
For piano performance, being mindful of delicate expression in the A and B sections and emphasizing the strength of the chorus will further bring out the song’s charm.
Blue HabitatKitanitatsuya
Aono Sumika by singer-songwriter Tatsuya Kitani—chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/Premature Death—has become a hot topic.
It’s a song with a mysterious charm that’s drawing in listeners, thanks to the striking contrast between its unique worldview and Kitani’s refreshing vocals.
Although the uptempo feel makes it sound difficult, it repeats a simple chord progression, so with a beginner-friendly arrangement, even those not yet used to playing with both hands should find it approachable.
In the soaring chorus, let the piano’s straightforward tone ring out with power.
Beautiful finsupittsu
Spitz has long led the Japanese music scene, but how about playing their songs on the piano? Imagining Masamune Kusano’s clear, soaring voice while riding the light rhythm will surely be enjoyable.
This piece carries messages about being yourself and self-affirmation, and has garnered strong support as a song that stays close to the listener’s heart.
It also drew attention as the theme song for the feature film Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine, and in May 2023, a special video was released to commemorate the movie surpassing 10 billion yen at the box office.
Why not savor the song’s charm more deeply through a piano performance?
