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

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

For those who practice piano and love anime songs—there are probably many of you who have thought, “I’d love to try playing them at least once.” Since anime songs tend to have very clear melodies, it’s easy to understand what melody you should play in your head, and it’s also a strength that you can imagine how the next section will develop.

Of course, playing anime songs—originally not piano pieces—straight on the piano can be challenging, but here we’ve selected famous anime songs old and new, focusing on pieces that definitely have beginner-friendly sheet music available.

Playing your favorite anime songs will make you love the piano even more and boost your motivation!

KICK BACKKenshi Yonezu

[Chainsaw Man OP] KICK BACK / Kenshi Yonezu [Do-Re-Mi Sheet Music with Lyrics] Beginner-Friendly Slow and Easy Piano Cover Tried Playing Anime Theme Song Easy Piano Tutorial Beginner Level

KICK BACK Kenshi Yonezu

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!

TouchYoshimi Iwasaki

“Touch” by Yoshimi Iwasaki [Beginner-Friendly! Learn Piano with Video] Level: ☆☆

Touch Iwasaki 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!

Mephisto / Queen Bee: Piano (Solo) / Beginner

Mephisto Queen Bee

Mephisto by the rock band QUEEN BEE, which became a hot topic as the ending theme of the smash-hit anime Oshi no Ko.

Many of you probably can’t get Avu-chan’s striking, impactful vocals out of your head! Because it’s uptempo and the melody spans a wide range, you might think it’s difficult to play on the piano.

However, if you choose a simple arrangement for the left hand, following the melody isn’t all that hard.

Set aside the flashy feel of the original for now, and start by practicing slowly, one note at a time.

Devil's Child Higuchi Ai

Higuchi Ai’s “Akuma no Ko” was written as the ending theme for the TV anime Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2.

The verse (A-melo) has a unique atmosphere, but it’s surprisingly easy to reproduce using just the left hand on the piano.

You use two notes, keeping the higher note the same while only changing the lower note.

The melody also develops mainly through repeated strikes of the same note, making it easy to memorize and perform.

Overall, it can be played with basic techniques, so definitely give it a try!

In conclusion

As I mentioned at the beginning, reproducing anime songs—originally created as pop or rock—on the piano is very challenging.

However, most famous anime songs like the ones introduced here have beginner-friendly sheet music available, and there are many videos of beginner-level piano arrangements as well.

Start by playing just the melody with your right hand, and gradually work toward playing with both hands!
