[For Beginners] I Want to Play These on Piano! Recommended Anime Songs Compilation

Fine On The OutsidePriscilla Ahn

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 crystalline vocals and acoustic resonance.

The theme song for the film “When Marnie Was There” is a deeply personal piece that Priscilla Ahn, its writer, created in 2005 based on her own experiences of loneliness during her girlhood.

While pretending to be fine on the outside, the protagonist Anna quietly carries a sense of isolation, and the song aligns with her feelings beautifully, striking straight to the heart.

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

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

CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LAChiho Kiyooka

CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA / Hironobu Kageyama 'Dragon Ball Z' Theme Song [For Piano Beginners, with Sheet Music]

CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA from Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama, the world-famous Japanese manga artist.

It’s probably also one of the most popular anime songs people want to play on piano.

The sixteenth-note runs in the intro seem difficult, but your hand position doesn’t change—you just need to play them fast.

Start by learning the note positions and fingering, and practice slowly at first.

The left-hand accompaniment is simple; if the number of notes feels like too much, playing just the first note as a quarter note should still work.

You probably have lots of favorite anime songs, and this left-hand accompaniment pattern shows up often, so once you learn it, you can apply it to other pieces.

If you lock in the syncopation in the vocal section, it will really sound like popular-style piano.

Level up your sight-reading power, and when the music hits the exciting parts, try to play with as much energy as if you were throwing a Spirit Bomb!

Many people have surely been captivated by Cécile Corbel’s translucent voice and the magical sound of her harp! The theme song from the film “The Secret World of Arrietty” features a beautiful melody and a relaxed tempo, making it easy to perform.

The work is also known for winning the Tokyo Anime Award for Music in 2011.

The lyrics seem to embody the earnest feelings of the tiny protagonist and a way of life in harmony with nature.

To recreate this delicate worldview, the key is to play lightly and fluidly, like harp arpeggios.

If you aim for a whisper-soft, gentle tone, you can achieve a highly polished performance even with fewer notes.

Aimyon’s “Harunohi” is a single released in 2019, written as the theme song for the animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Honeymoon Hurricane ~The Lost Hiroshi~.

The melody uses only notes from the major scale that matches the key of the song, making it catchy and easy to remember.

Detective Conan Main ThemeKatsuo Ōno

[With Sheet Music] Detective Conan / Main Theme (Solo Beginner, Easy Arrangement) (If You Were Here) with Slow Performance [Piano Sheet Music] [For Beginners, Simple Arrangement, with Fingering Numbers]

When it comes to anime songs with cool brass and guitar, you can’t leave out the Detective Conan Main Theme.

It’s been used for a long time since the anime began airing in 1996.

Pieces that sound like brass band arrangements or feature guitar as the lead tend to be avoided on piano.

However, if you use both the right and left hands skillfully, they’re perfectly playable on piano.

The melody of the Detective Conan Main Theme actually contains many long, sustained notes and isn’t extremely busy, so it’s not too difficult even for beginners.

For beginners, I recommend having the left hand play a simple, easy rhythm with basic bass notes.

Beautiful finSpitz

[Detective Conan] Utsukushii Hire (Beautiful Fin) / Spitz [With Do-Re-Mi sheet music and lyrics] Beginner-friendly, slow and easy piano cover Tried playing it Theme song of the movie “Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine” Easy Piano Tutorial Beginner Level

Spitz’s “Utsukushii Hire,” written as the theme song for the film Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine—which surpassed 10.

3 billion yen at the box office in just 24 days after release, becoming the highest-grossing entry in the series.

Speaking of Spitz’s music, Masamune Kusano’s wide vocal range and beautiful high notes are iconic! When playing it on piano, the melody’s range is somewhat broad, but because the left hand doesn’t require much position shifting, even beginners can focus on the right-hand melody and take on two-handed playing without strain.

Another key point is to play the bouncy dotted rhythms lightly and buoyantly!

Miracle of BondsMAN WITH A MISSION×milet

[Demon Slayer OP Theme] Kizuna no Kiseki / MAN WITH A MISSION × milet [Do-Re-Mi Sheet Music with Lyrics] Beginner-Friendly Slow and Easy Piano Demon Slayer Season 3 Swordsmith Village Arc Elementary Level Anime

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.
