We are!kitadani hiroshi
Known as the opening theme to the national hit series ONE PIECE, ” is a popular anisong sung by Hiroshi Kitadani with composition by Kohei Tanaka.
Its powerful vocals and clear, catchy melody are the very essence of classic anime music—a masterpiece that feels like it can blow away your small worries just by listening.
That said, because it’s an up-tempo number with densely packed lyrics and a melody built for rapid delivery, even beginner-friendly sheet music still demands a certain level of quick fingerwork.
Since many people already have the melody in their heads, a recommended practice method is to first focus on mastering the melody firmly with your right hand, then gradually add the left-hand accompaniment little by little.
Promise of SunflowersHata Motohiro
The nationally beloved anime Doraemon was adapted into 3D CGI and made waves with the film STAND BY ME Doraemon.
The theme song chosen was Motohiro Hata’s “Himawari no Yakusoku” (Promise of a Sunflower).
The melody in the A section uses many eighth notes and changes at a relatively steady pace, making it easy to catch the rhythm.
It’s recommended even for piano beginners who struggle with rhythm.
While the chorus melody gets a bit more intricate, it’s originally a slow ballad, so it remains approachable.
Ojamajo Carnivalike takeshi
When it comes to the first opening theme of the TV anime series Ojamajo Doremi, produced by Toei Animation since 1999, it’s undoubtedly Ojamajo Carnival!! Even after the show ended, this song has remained enormously popular, and many beginner pianists surely want to try playing it.
As the saying goes, “What one likes, one will do well,” and there’s nothing quite like the joy of improving by practicing a song you love.
It may be difficult to play at full uptempo right away, but the piece is packed with many musical fundamentals: frequent flats, numerous developments, and combinations of complex rhythms.
It also modulates smoothly—such as shifting from the main key to its parallel key—without feeling out of place.
As you become more comfortable reading sheet music, you’ll start to sense the musical seasoning directly from the score and rediscover how wonderful the piece is.
It’s a fun song, so practice little by little and work your way up to playing it!
Spring Dayaimyon
Aimyon’s “Harunohi” is a single released in 2019, written as the theme song for the animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Honeymoon Hurricane ~The Lost Hiroshi~.
The melody uses only notes from the major scale that matches the key of the song, making it catchy and easy to remember.
The rhythm is based on a simple 8-beat, so there aren’t many difficult rhythm patterns.
It’s approachable even for beginner pianists, so definitely give it a try!
Beautiful finsupittsu
Spitz’s “Utsukushii Hire,” written as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine—which surpassed 10.3 billion yen at the box office in just 24 days after release, becoming the highest-grossing entry in the series.
Speaking of Spitz’s music, Masamune Kusano’s wide vocal range and beautiful high notes are iconic! When playing it on piano, the melody’s range is somewhat broad, but because the left hand doesn’t require much position shifting, even beginners can focus on the right-hand melody and take on two-handed playing without strain.
Another key point is to play the bouncy dotted rhythms lightly and buoyantly!
mixed nutsOfisharu Higedan Dism
Official HIGE DANDism’s “Mixed Nuts” has plenty of substance in both rhythm and note count to make it a satisfying piece for a recital performance.
Released in 2022, the song was chosen as the opening theme for the anime SPY×FAMILY.
For the opening, ad-lib-like section, it’s recommended to play freely and flamboyantly to create the feeling that things are about to kick off.
Since the notes are densely arranged, be careful not to miss any.
The rhythm can also be tricky, so practice at a slow tempo until you get used to it.
Once you can play it in tempo with a solid groove, it’s an incredibly rewarding piece.

Detective Conan Main ThemeŌno Katsuo
When it comes to anime songs with cool brass and guitar, you can’t leave out the Detective Conan Main Theme.
It’s been used for a long time since the anime began airing in 1996.
Pieces that sound like brass band arrangements or feature guitar as the lead tend to be avoided on piano.
However, if you use both the right and left hands skillfully, they’re perfectly playable on piano.
The melody of the Detective Conan Main Theme actually contains many long, sustained notes and isn’t extremely busy, so it’s not too difficult even for beginners.
For beginners, I recommend having the left hand play a simple, easy rhythm with basic bass notes.
