A song born from the collaboration between MISIA—known not only as a singer but also for her social contribution activities—and HYDE of L’Arc-en-Ciel.

Released in August 2018, it drew attention as the theme song for the TBS drama “Gibo to Musume no Blues” (Stepmother and Daughter’s Blues).

Its melody gently embracing love for someone dear gains even greater depth when performed as a piano duet.

The simple yet heartfelt lyrics evoke the bonds with those precious to us—family, partners, and more.

It’s the perfect piece for anyone who wants to be wrapped in a warm feeling alongside the sound of the piano.

A track whose roller coaster–like development is part of its appeal.

Since its digital release in October 2022, it has received high acclaim both in Japan and abroad, topping multiple charts.

The piece carries messages about effort and hope for the future, as well as how to face life’s uncertainties, resonating deeply with listeners.

Racing into the Night YOASOBI – Solo Duet, Print Music Duet Intermediate

How about J-pop arranged for piano four hands? Here’s “Yoru ni Kakeru” by the popular duo YOASOBI.

It’s been arranged as a duet for intermediate players without losing the charm of the original.

With the catchy, dance-like groove and energetic melody, it captivates young listeners.

While J-pop is fun, it can be challenging to perform on classical instruments.

The backing phrases move quickly, and the melody line has complex rhythms, so it may take considerable time before it sounds song-like.

Even if you play the rhythms accurately, it might not sound like singing, so listen closely to the original and aim for a high level of fidelity.

[Ultra Difficulty: Piano Duet Sheet Music] “Idol / YOASOBI” TV Anime “Oshi no Ko” Opening Theme #YOASOBIIdol

A song by YOASOBI created as the opening theme for the TV anime “Oshi no Ko,” which garnered major attention both in Japan and abroad.

Conceived by Ayase about a year and a half ago, the piece vividly portrays the light and shadow of idols.

It features a driving 166 BPM tempo and a distinctive atmosphere reminiscent of a church choir.

The lyrics skillfully express the duality of idols—their flawless appearance and inner turmoil—resonating deeply with listeners.

When attempting a piano duet, it’s recommended to start by setting a slower tempo and using an arrangement that reduces the left-hand notes.
