Senbonzakura [For Beginners, With Do-Re-Mi] Easy Piano Piano Easy

When it comes to smash hits known even beyond the Vocaloid fanbase, Senbonzakura is a top pick! There are countless piano performance videos uploaded, and it’s also a popular choice for recitals.

With its many intricate passages and fast tempo, it tends to be seen as difficult, but in fact it’s built from repeating patterns.

If you practice it in sections and master those parts, you might be surprised at how smoothly you can play the whole piece! Even if you were thinking of giving up because it seems hard, why not start by practicing the opening phrase little by little?

Kokoronashi / Chouchou-P feat. GUMI: Piano (Solo) / Beginner

It’s a ballad characterized by gentle piano tones and a heartrending melody.

Released in 2014 and included on the album “End of the World,” the track features GUMI as the vocalist.

The lyrics delicately portray the confusion and inner conflict that come with having emotions.

The emotional arrangement, which blends piano with a full band sound, is truly stirring.

Why not immerse yourself in the piano’s timbre and enjoy its moving world?

Ephemeral Apple-Selling Girl / Yukkedoluce [Beginner-Friendly, With Do-Re-Mi] Piano Easy Easy Piano

It’s a single song with a fantasy atmosphere that nonetheless makes you think deeply about life and death.

When you hear “a girl selling apples,” you might imagine something fairy-tale-like, but the setting—“a girl living in the afterlife trying her best to sell her prized pies in the living world”—is so poignantly bittersweet.

The tempo and time signature change partway through, and the right hand has intricate movements, so you’ll need a fair amount of practice.

However, because the left hand is simple, once you’ve got the right hand down, putting both hands together shouldn’t be too difficult.

Let’s start by practicing the melody right away!

Poppipo / Lamaze-P [with Piano Sheet Music]

It’s a bright, pop-style Vocaloid song! Released on Nico Nico Douga in December 2008, “PoPiPo” features a unique theme: a love for vegetable juice.

Its cute vocals and addictive melody captivated many listeners, inspiring a flood of derivative works.

Since it’s built on a simple rhythm, I think it’s also easy to express on the piano.

Play with a bouncy feel to bring out a cheerful atmosphere!

Luka Megurine - Just Be Friends Vocaloid Piano Easy Ver. Chorus

Released in July 2009, “Just Be Friends” is a track where the bittersweet worldview perfectly matches Luka’s gentle vocals.

Within its pop sound, it carefully depicts the pain and sense of loss felt by lovers who have decided to part ways, resonating deeply with listeners.

It’s characterized by a basic pop arrangement and a beautiful melodic line.

When played on piano, a slower tempo gives it a more sorrowful feel, while a faster tempo creates a brighter impression.

NiaNatsushiro Takaaki

Nia / Takaaki Natsushiro (Easy Piano with Do-Re-Mi, Full) [With Sheet Music]

This song is memorable for its gentle, conversational vocals.

“Nier” is a story-rich work depicting interactions between humans and robots, released in 2017.

Its pleasantly soothing sound alone is moving.

The lyrics unfold as a master—human—posing questions to a robot, weaving in the essence of humanity and the fluctuations of emotion.

Let’s practice thoroughly so we can faithfully recreate this world!
