[Easy Piano] Odoru Pompokolin from Chibi Maruko-chan / Opening Theme

The manga and anime Chibi Maruko-chan, created by Momoko Sakura, is a beloved national anime representing Japan, alongside works like Doraemon and Sazae-san.

The song Odoru Pompokolin used in Chibi Maruko-chan is the series’ iconic first ending theme, and it energizes everyone who listens.

It’s a great anime song even for beginners who are just starting piano and still working hard to read sheet music.

Since it involves playing the same notes in rhythm and the bass line is simple, it’s easy to perform.

First, learn the rhythm of the original song’s vocals and try playing the notes along with it.

Little by little, memorize the positions on the keyboard and shape it into a performance.

Once you reach the chorus, you can just ride the groove and enjoy playing to the end.

When you get used to it, try playing along at the original tempo.

Suda Keina – Mellow (Music Video)

This song is there for you when you leap into a new springtime environment, with feelings of excitement and anxiety all mixed together.

Sung by Keina Suda, its driving band sound, light, sprightly beat, and subtly wistful melody make a strong impression.

Released digitally in advance in April 2023, the track was written as the opening theme for the anime “Skip and Loafer” and is also included on the album “Ghost Pop.” Its worldview, which captures the sparkling radiance of youth from a unique perspective, is perfect for your commuting or school playlist.

It’s sure to gently give you a push as you embark on your new life.

SWORD SUMMIT

The opening theme song of the anime Sengoku BASARA Two, which aired starting in 2010.

It’s a song that lets you feel the way of life of the warlords who raced through the age of turmoil.

The lyrics seem to be inspired by the characters of Sengoku BASARA, making it irresistible for fans.

Meteor -Meteia-T.M.Revolution60rank/position

T.M.Revolution – Meteor | Official Music Video

A masterpiece included on T.M.Revolution’s sixth album “coordinate,” released on March 26, 2003.

It was used as an insert song in the TBS/MBS anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.

I believe it’s the best song in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED.

vestige – VestigeT.M.Revolution61rank/position

T.M.Revolution – vestige | Official Music Video (TV Anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY Opening Theme Song)

The 21st single by T.M.Revolution, the solo project of singer Takanori Nishikawa, renowned for his overwhelming vocal power and singing ability.

Known as a theme song for the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY, the song’s ethereal opening—featuring a lyrical guitar riff and transparent synth sounds—heightens the sense of anticipation.

In addition to its high key, achieving the original feel requires considerable practice, including a rich vocal tone and powerful vibrato.

On the other hand, the melody is catchy and easy to remember, and the vocal range used isn’t excessively wide, so it’s a good idea to start practicing in a key that suits your voice.

CHAINSAW BLOODVaundy62rank/position

CHAINSAW BLOOD / Vaundy：MUSIC VIDEO

This piece, chosen as the ending theme for Episode 1 of Chainsaw Man, is a song that Vaundy—who has read the original manga many times—created with deep respect for its world.

Upon its release in October 2022, it became a hit, surpassing 100 million streams.

Its sound—featuring a weighty rhythm section, compressed bass, and a pop-leaning melody coexisting within a dark atmosphere—brilliantly captures the work’s themes of destruction and impulse.

The sonic impact that unfolds from the spoken-like phrases in the interlude is overwhelming.

It’s a track I’d recommend not only to anime fans but also to anyone who enjoys modern rock sounds.

ReunionVaundy63rank/position

"The Summer Hikaru Died" Non-Credit Opening "Reunion" Vaundy: The Summer Hikaru Died Opening

The opening theme for the anime The Summer Hikaru Died by Vaundy.

It’s a song that captures the world of a boy’s uneasy coexistence with “something” disguised as a human, expressed through melodious piano and emotional guitar.

The music recreates a faint sense of anxiety and an unpredictable tension, creating a unique atmosphere where poignancy and fear intersect.

Why not listen to this track and talk about the slightly scary and mysterious The Summer Hikaru Died?
