In the Japanese version, Takako Matsu sang it in the film, while May J.

performed it over the end credits, which became a hot topic.

Since the original also uses piano accompaniment, it seems relatively easy to imagine playing it on piano.

The key is how to express the dramatic progression—from the A verse to the B verse and on to the soaring, expansive chorus—using only the piano.

You can render the main melody with single notes, keep the left hand focused on chordal accompaniment, and pay attention to shaping the melody with the right hand; that alone can fully bring out the character of the piece!

That said, because it’s an up-tempo number with densely packed lyrics and a melody built for rapid delivery, even beginner-friendly sheet music still demands a certain level of quick fingerwork.

Since many people already have the melody in their heads, a recommended practice method is to first focus on mastering the melody firmly with your right hand, then gradually add the left-hand accompaniment little by little.

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

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.
