Playable on easy piano! KusakeibaSakkyoku: Sutiibun Fositā
Composed in 19th-century America, this lively piece depicts a horse’s brisk gallop with a bouncy melody and the rousing cry of “Doo-dah!” Since its publication in February 1850, it has been covered by many artists, including Bing Crosby and Kenny Rogers, and has been featured in the film Blazing Saddles and in Looney Tunes.
In Japan, it was also played during the equestrian performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic opening ceremony, making it a familiar tune in a wide range of settings.
There is plenty of beginner piano sheet music available, and because it’s written in C major, mostly on the white keys, even newcomers can enjoy practicing while feeling the sense of speed.

Ephemeral SwingKai Band
In the season when December’s neon colors the city, the single Kai Band released in October 1975 is a winter classic set against a metropolitan Christmas night.
Depicting a fleeting reunion and parting that arrive unexpectedly on a glittering street corner where jingle bells ring out, the song vividly captures, like a scene from a film, the loneliness and poignancy that lurk behind the festive bustle.
From its wistful violin intro, the sound unfolds into a light rhythm reminiscent of gypsy jazz, perfectly expressing the unique atmosphere that envelops the city at year’s end.
Included on the album “Heroes and Villains,” the track has continued to be cherished as a signature piece in the band’s history, even lending its name to a best-of compilation and tour in 2017.
It’s recommended for those who want to look back on the past year and savor a slightly bittersweet, grown-up moment.

The propulsion generated by meter switches and inverted accents is carried by LeuR’s clear vocals, giving the complex structure a strong through-line.
Their knack for freely severing and splicing words and beats truly shines.
