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?

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!

[Easy Piano Sheet Music] Happy Synthesizer – EasyPop (Megurine Luka, GUMI) [Practice Version] / Happy Synthesizer | Easy Piano Tutorial

A pop tune that draws you in with its light electronic sound.

Released in November 2010, this duet track showcases the charms of GUMI and Megurine Luka.

It expresses the desire to play melodies that resonate with the heart through an exceptionally catchy beat.

The rhythmic tones of the synthesizer make your body sway on its own.

The gentle, enveloping melody line is another highlight.

Recommended for those who want to approach the piano with a bright, uplifting feeling.

Lavi / Surii (Easy Piano with Do-Re-Mi, Full) [With Sheet Music]

Despite its full-on mischievous vibe, the lyrics are pretty intense—this high-contrast combo makes it an addictive track that’s winning over tons of listeners! Its hallmarks are the phrases that shuttle back and forth by semitones and the many sections where the same motif is repeated over and over.

Once you memorize the short phrases, you can build the whole piece just by repeating them, so it shouldn’t be as hard to play as it sounds at first.

Start by breaking it down into small sections for practice, then gradually connect the parts together.

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.
