It’s a piece whose melancholy, chanson-like melody lingers in the heart, gracing the ending of the film Porco Rosso.

Originally created by Tokiko Kato in 1987, it was given a grand orchestral arrangement for the movie.

The lyrics warmly look back on days gone by, mirroring the protagonist Porco’s outlook on life and lending the story a deep afterglow.

This song also carries a heartwarming anecdote in which words from the lyrics inspired the studio’s name.

With its exquisitely beautiful melody line, even a simple accompaniment allows you to fully savor the song’s tender, bittersweet atmosphere.

It’s a piece I highly recommend to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the story and perform with heartfelt emotion.

Mephisto / Queen Bee: Piano (Solo) / Beginner

Mephisto by the rock band QUEEN BEE, which became a hot topic as the ending theme of the smash-hit anime Oshi no Ko.

Many of you probably can’t get Avu-chan’s striking, impactful vocals out of your head! Because it’s uptempo and the melody spans a wide range, you might think it’s difficult to play on the piano.

However, if you choose a simple arrangement for the left hand, following the melody isn’t all that hard.

Set aside the flashy feel of the original for now, and start by practicing slowly, one note at a time.

Ghibli film “When Marnie Was There” theme song [Fine On The Outside] piano for beginners with Do-Re-Mi subtitles, both hands

Many listeners must have been moved by the translucent vocals and acoustic resonance! The theme song of the film “When Marnie Was There” is a deeply personal piece that its creator, Priscilla Ahn, wrote in 2005 based on her own experiences of a lonely girlhood.

While pretending to be fine on the outside, it beautifully aligns with protagonist Anna’s inner loneliness and truly tugs at the heart.

The song is also included on the album “Just Know That I Love You.” To richly convey the bittersweet melody, the key is to begin playing with a soft, delicate touch.

By letting the quiet, hidden feelings ride on the sound, your performance will resonate deeply with listeners.

Sugar Song and Bitter StepUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

Learn It All at Once! Sugar Song and Bitter Step Piano (Blood Blockade Battlefront / UNISON SQUARE GARDEN) Sheet Music ♪ Easy ♪ Beginner ♪ | K2

“Sugar Song and Bitter Step,” written as the ending theme for the TV anime Blood Blockade Battlefront, is a quintessential 2010s anison masterpiece that brilliantly showcases UNISON SQUARE GARDEN’s exceptional pop sensibility and groovy band ensemble.

Because it’s so popular, beginner-friendly sheet music is available; however, the main melody uses lots of black keys, and expressing a groove that differs from simple J‑pop on the piano is honestly challenging—some people might feel discouraged just from looking at the score.

That said, it will definitely sharpen your sense of rhythm, so after thoroughly listening to the original, start by working hard until you can reliably play the melody with your right hand!

Mixed Nuts (TV Size) / Official HIGE DANDism [with Do-Re-Mi Sheet Music & Lyrics] Beginner-Friendly Slow and Easy Piano Cover Tried Playing It Anime “SPY×FAMILY” Opening Theme Piano Spy x Family Beginner

Official HIGE DANDism’s “Mixed Nuts” is a single released in 2022, written as the opening theme for the first cour of the TV anime SPY x FAMILY.

It dominated the top spots on various Oricon and Billboard charts.

The original is a very fast swing tune, so when trying it on piano, it’s better to slow the tempo a bit.

If you simplify the bass line—which darted around all over the place in the original—even beginners can give it a try.

Since the original key uses many black keys, it’s a good idea to look for sheet music transposed a half step up or down.
