[Kiki’s Delivery Service] Carefully Selected Piano Sheet Music — From the Main Theme to Hidden Gems —

Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Among the many lively and upbeat songs featured in the film Kiki’s Delivery Service, the one that stands out as an outlier is The Sorrow of Kiki, which evokes a deep sadness.

It plays in the moment when the protagonist, Kiki, temporarily loses confidence after her powers weaken and she feels defeated.

Despite being a somber piece, the melody is exquisitely beautiful and captivating.

It conveys not just sorrow, but also Kiki’s determination to overcome her hardship.

To keep it from becoming just a dark, monotonous tune, aim for an expressive performance by using a wide dynamic range and nuanced shifts in tempo.
