Fancy arrangements can be a challenge for later; for now, let’s master the basic melody and bass notes, or a chord version.
Bling-Bang-Bang-BornDJ matsunaga
If you want to play anison and are a beginner at the piano, “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born” is highly recommended.
The song was composed by Creepy Nuts, a Japanese hip-hop duo consisting of DJ Matsunaga and R-Shitei, as the opening theme for the second season of the TV anime Mashle: Magic and Muscles, the “Divine Visionary Candidate Exam Arc.” Its catchy, driving rhythm is addictive and will stick in your head after just one listen.
Because the track is rap-style, it features many repeated melodies and rhythms.

This piece, from the film “Spirited Away,” leaves a lasting impression with its quiet, nostalgic melody that symbolizes the shifting emotions of the protagonist.
The gentle, unhurried piano timbre evokes a bittersweet yet warm feeling, as if recalling past memories or something precious.
In fact, this work was originally a song with vocals, included on the album “Spirited Away: Image Album” released in April 2001, and in the film it was used in an arrangement centered on the piano.
It has been loved beyond the framework of the movie, serving as background music for TV programs and stage productions as well.
It’s a perfect piece for those who want to play as if cherishing each note and weaving a story.
Aim for careful sound production that highlights the beauty of the melody, and try performing while picturing the scenes in your mind!
First workday of the yearHisaishi Joe
This is an unforgettable piece with a buoyant 4/4 rhythm that plays when the protagonist heads out for her very first job in Kiki’s Delivery Service.

The music captures the thrill of taking a new step, and the melody is so approachable that you’ll find it a joy to perform, as if stepping right into the world of the story.
When you play this piece, cherish a light, skipping rhythm.
As you imagine the heroine flying straight through the sky, add expressive nuance to your sound and perform—an ode that has been loved ever since the film’s 1989 release.

Enveloped in a light, dance-like rhythm, this piece serves as the brilliant finale to the French Suite No.
2.

Composed around 1722, the work is also included in the music notebook compiled for his wife, Anna Magdalena, conveying the warmth of music-making in the home.
While the key of C minor lends depth and tension, the characteristic vitality of a dance is never lost.
It is recommended for those wishing to take on Baroque music or experience the beauty of counterpoint.
Though it presents technical challenges, it also demands musical expressiveness, making it a compelling work that offers the joy of performing as well as the pleasure of listening.
