[Anime Songs] Easy for Piano Beginners to Play! Recommended Practice Pieces (21–30)
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.
Kaikai KitanEVE
The opening theme for the first cour of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen is Eve’s Kaikai Kitan.
It even ranked fifth on Billboard’s download chart.
In the A section, there are parts built around two adjacent notes, and in the chorus, parts centered on the same note an octave apart, which makes it easier to remember which keys to play.
To bring out the uptempo sound of the track, the left hand keeps playing at the same pace, and because there are many repeated notes, it’s beginner-friendly as well.
TouchIwasaki Yoshimi
The opening theme song for the anime adaptation of the classic baseball-themed manga Touch is also titled “Touch.” Sung by Yoshimi Iwasaki, it won the Gold Prize at the 27th Japan Record Awards.
Even today, it’s well known as a high school baseball cheer song often performed by brass bands.
The melody is distinctive for its many repeated notes, making it relatively approachable to play on the piano.
Although it’s an up-tempo piece, the chord changes are surprisingly gradual and the left-hand accompaniment can be played comfortably, so it’s recommended for beginners!
Ask me why (A Mother’s Thoughts)Hisaishi Joe
This is the theme song from Studio Ghibli’s feature-length animated film The Boy and the Heron, which can be called the culmination of director Hayao Miyazaki’s work.
It is performed tenderly on a solo piano only three times during important scenes, from the opening to the late stages of the film, with no arrangements or variations for other instruments, making it clear how deeply composer Joe Hisaishi cherishes this piece.
If you listen closely, one note in the chorus melody differs from Ask Me Why (Mahito’s Resolve).
Just as Mahito returns with the stone and retains his memories of the experience, he has indeed changed from before to now.
It feels like a deliberate, meaningful misalignment.
The characters’ emotions are conveyed through live performance, as if opening the door to the heart.
Is there still anything that love can do?RADWIMPS
Ai ni Dekiru Koto wa Mada Aru Kai by RADWIMPS was created as the theme song for the anime film Weathering with You.
The film’s soundtrack, which includes this song, topped Oricon’s digital chart for five consecutive weeks.
It’s a beautiful piano ballad characteristic of Yojiro Noda, and it carries well even in a solo vocal-and-piano performance.
Most parts, except for a few sections, use the same chord progression, and it’s just a repetition of four chords, making it very easy to play.
The different sections only add a few chords and slightly change the order, so definitely give it a try!
KICK BACKYonezu Kenshi
KICK BACK was co-produced by Kenshi Yonezu and Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu.
It was newly written as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man and swept various Oricon and Billboard charts.
In the original key there are many black keys, so if you can find sheet music a half step higher, it will reduce them and be preferable.
In the intro, the right hand can be played using just two adjacent semitone notes, so starting there is recommended!
Tower of FlowersSayuri
The ending theme used in the anime Lycoris Recoil, which depicts the exploits of girls working to deter crime, is Sayuri’s “Hana no Tou.” The original is a cool rock tune with a driving 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.
Give it a try!
