If you’ve started learning piano, many of you probably think, “At the very least, I want to be able to play this!” Once you can play this song, you might have more chances to show off your piano at birthday parties and many other occasions.
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.
Although it’s uptempo, once you can play one phrase, you’ll find it easier to handle the other repeated sections—another point in its favor.
After you can play it slowly without mistakes, try gradually approaching the original tempo.
You’ll be able to play it all the way through in no time!
French Suite No. 2, BWV 813: GigueJ.S.Bach
Enveloped in a light, dance-like rhythm, this piece serves as the brilliant finale to the French Suite No.

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.
Odoru Pompoko RinOda Tetsurō
The manga and anime Chibi Maruko-chan, created by Momoko Sakura, is a beloved national anime representing Japan, alongside works like Doraemon and Sazae-san.
The song Odoru Pompokolin used in Chibi Maruko-chan is the series’ iconic first ending theme, and it energizes everyone who listens.
It’s a great anime song even for beginners who are just starting piano and still working hard to read sheet music.
Since it involves playing the same notes in rhythm and the bass line is simple, it’s easy to perform.
First, learn the rhythm of the original song’s vocals and try playing the notes along with it.
Little by little, memorize the positions on the keyboard and shape it into a performance.
Once you reach the chorus, you can just ride the groove and enjoy playing to the end.
When you get used to it, try playing along at the original tempo.
