[For Beginners] I Want to Play It on Piano! Recommended Anime Songs (1–10)
Detective Conan ThemeŌno Katsuo
The theme song of the anime Detective Conan, which holds the record as the longest-running anime program, is Detective Conan Main Theme.
Composed by Katsuo Ono, who is also known for composing the music for Taiyo ni Hoero!, it’s a popular number often heard in brass band performances and used as a cheer song at high school baseball games.
The minor-key melody is really cool, so I think many people want to try playing it on the piano.
A point that makes it recommendable for beginners is that, despite the tempo, the melody line feels calm, and the hand movement isn’t actually that fast, so you can play it even if your fingers don’t move very quickly.
Tower of FlowersSayuri
The ending theme of the anime Lycoris Recoil, which portrays the exploits of girls working to deter crime, is Sayuri’s “Hana no Tō” (Tower of Flowers).
The original is a rock tune with a cool, fast-paced band sound, but the piano arrangement has a different kind of charm.
In particular, the melody of the chorus isn’t as rhythmically intense as you might expect and can be played with quarter and eighth notes, making it approachable even for beginners.
Definitely give it a try!
Suzume feat. ToakaRADWIMPS
Makoto Shinkai, renowned for his stunning visuals and psychological portrayals, released his film Suzume in 2022.
The theme song chosen for the film is Suzume, a collaboration between RADWIMPS and Toaka.
The track begins with an a cappella that fully showcases Toaka’s one-of-a-kind voice and carries a somewhat oriental atmosphere.
The original song can be played mostly on the white keys with only one black key, and its slow, ballad-like tempo makes it easy to play without rushing—points that make it especially recommended for beginners.
Give it a try!
Aim to be a Pokémon MasterMatsumoto Rika
The theme song of the anime Pokémon, which depicts the adventures of the protagonist Satoshi (Ash) and Pikachu, is “Aim to Be a Pokémon Master.” It is the seventh single by Rica Matsumoto, who voiced Satoshi, and it reached No.
7 on the Oricon singles chart.
The B-melody and chorus modulate and require several black keys, so they might be a bit challenging, but the A-melody can be played using only white keys, and the two-note melody continues for a while, making it relatively approachable.
Aim for an energetic sound and give it a try!
Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA
LiSA’s “Gurenge” gained massive popularity alongside the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba becoming a social phenomenon.
When the show began airing in 2019, the song was used as the opening theme and reached No.
1 on various Billboard charts.
Many people have probably listened to it so many times that they can hum along, so I imagine plenty are eager to give it a try.
Because it’s a fast-tempo song, the quick melodic movement can be a bit tricky, but if you’re familiar with the melody, it’s surprisingly doable.
It also scores points for having only one sharp and not using many black keys.
Carrying YouInoue Azumi
Kimi wo Nosete, sung by Azumi Inoue, was released in 1986 as the ending theme for Studio Ghibli’s film Castle in the Sky.
Its lonely, melancholic sound and lyrics make it a memorable number.
If you play it in C major, you’ll get a few incidental sharps, but it should be relatively easy to perform.
You can adapt it to various skill levels by changing the left-hand accompaniment patterns, so compare different sheet music editions and find the one that suits you best.
Give it a try!
My Neighbor TotoroHisaishi Joe
This is the ending theme of the classic Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, released in 1988.
Together with the opening theme, Sanpo, it was included on Azumi Inoue’s single, and both have become representative songs of Japanese anime music.
The melody of My Neighbor Totoro is well known, making it easy for piano beginners to learn, and it’s also approachable because the piece is in F major, which uses only one black key.
It’s a song I highly recommend tackling with a spring in your step so you can capture the original’s light, lively feel!
