[Piano Accompaniment Score] A Curated Selection of Recommended Sheet Music for Popular Sing-Along Songs (1–10)
catDISH//
The song “Neko” by the band DISH//, with actor Takumi Kitamura on vocals, was written and composed by Aimyon.
It’s a moving track that sinks into the heart with its poignant lyrics portraying the pain of heartbreak, its beautiful melody, and vocals that are both warm and powerful.
The gentle embrace this song offers its listeners doesn’t fade even when performed as a stripped-down solo rendition.
Since the original accompaniment is simple, centered on guitar and bass, start with a basic arrangement that just keeps time with the chords, and as you get comfortable, try gradually adding more to the accompaniment.
A bouquet with loveSuperfly
Superfly’s “Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo” is hugely popular as a bridal song.
Shiho Ochi’s vocals, renowned for their intense power, and the uniquely forceful sound make this a track that deeply moves listeners.
While a lavish band arrangement can create its own special impact, performing it as a piano-and-voice piece brings the melody’s depth to the forefront, offering a different kind of emotional experience from the original.
As you gently accompany yourself on piano, try cherishing each line of the lyrics—an earnest, profound declaration of love for someone dear.
I can’t put it into wordsOda Kazumasa
Kazumasa Oda’s “Kotoba ni Dekinai” is a heartfelt classic packed with messages of gratitude—like a concentrated “thank you” to all the people we’ve met.
Its lyrics, vocals, melody, and overall sound are filled with kindness.
One reason this song suits a solo performance with voice and instrument is not only its simple melody and chord progression, but also the frequent repetition of the same lyrics and phrases.
As you play and sing, picture your own “feelings beyond words” that aren’t explicitly stated in the lyrics, and perform with care.
It’s also a song that reaches quite high notes and can be challenging to sing, so try it in a key that suits your voice without straining.

Let’s become a familyFukuyama Masaharu
Fukuyama Masaharu’s “Kazoku ni Narou yo” is a song about love for the family who has been with you until now, and for the new family and partner you will spend your life with from here on.
Frequently sung as a wedding performance, this piece is also extremely popular as a solo accompaniment song.
Of course, its charm remains unchanged even when the instrument is switched to piano! In fact, the gentle timbre seems to make its warmth and affection shine even more.
While the chords aren’t so simple that you could call them basic, the melody is so moving that just holding down the chords is enough to capture the atmosphere.
Don’t be intimidated—give it a try!
The Splendor of YouthCarpenters
Released in 1976, The Carpenters’ “I Need to Be in Love” is said to have been the favorite song of Karen Carpenter, the sister in the Carpenter siblings and a member of the duo.
In Japan, it drew major attention when it was used as the ending theme for the 1995 TV drama “Miseinen,” starring Issei Ishida.
While the lyrics convey a kind of resignation toward love that can feel a little bittersweet, the overall mood of the song is filled with warmth.
When performing it as a vocal-and-piano piece, play gently so that the piano softly complements the vocal and enhances that warm atmosphere.
A Naked Heartaimyon
Naked Heart became Aimyon’s first ballad released as a single.
It’s a song that makes your heart skip a beat with its straightforward feeling of “I want you to accept my feelings,” something anyone in love can’t help but relate to.
The accompaniment chords that bring out the bright, heartwarming melody are quite simple! The vocal melody spans a fairly wide range, so the singing will likely require serious practice, but as for playing it as a solo singer-guitarist, even beginners should find it approachable.
A melody instead of a bouquetShimizu Shota
Shota Shimizu’s “A Melody Instead of a Bouquet” enjoys overwhelming support as a wedding song.
With its R&B elements, gentle vocals, and memorable piano accompaniment, it’s perfect for a solo performance.
It’s an ideal choice for a wedding reception program, too.
The warm melody, paired with lyrics that portray deep love for a significant other, gains even more depth when combined with the piano’s timbre.
While you may ultimately want to add grace notes and other embellishments for a stylish finish, start by practicing the basic chords so you can perform with enough headroom to pour feeling into the vocals—the true centerpiece of the song.
