A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

In this article, I’ll introduce training videos recommended for beginners.

They explain the basics clearly, making them perfect for foundational practice if you want to take your playing up a notch.

Keyboard Edition of “Our Time”: A Band Practice Song for Absolute Beginners

This is a performance video of “Bokura no Jikan,” a band practice song for absolute beginners that can be played using three staple chords commonly found in major-key songs.

The video shows close-ups of the hands playing and a keyboard graphic indicating which notes to press, making it very easy to practice.

It’s a lesson video I especially recommend to anyone joining a band as a keyboardist for the first time.

In the verse (A section) and the chorus, it alternates between whole notes and quarter notes to match the song’s buildup, which also helps you practice changing your playing approach flexibly.
