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!
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.
I stopped being alone.Yano Akiko
The theme from “My Neighbors the Yamadas” is performed here in a lovely piano arrangement.
I’ve previously introduced an orchestral version, but when this gentle depiction of everyday life is rendered on piano, it becomes even more immersive, like being drawn into a world of memories.
Everyday life is something everyone has, and it’s unique to each person—not measured by anyone else’s standards.
Yet when the everyday life that must have been mine is shown as images, a quiet feeling of “this is somehow nice” arises.
This piano version touches many people’s heartstrings and will surely brighten the listeners’ everyday lives.
Miracle of BondsMAN WITH A MISSION×milet
Kizuna no Kiseki, the theme song for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc, became a hot topic thanks to its star-studded collaboration between MAN WITH A MISSION and milet.
It’s a rock number full of driving energy.
While the original is up-tempo, if you’re tackling it on piano, start by practicing slowly! The range isn’t very wide, and there are many repeated phrases, so even beginners can play it if they calmly follow the notes.
With fast, cool songs it’s tempting to ramp up the tempo right away, but until your fingers move smoothly, hold back and practice carefully.
