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

Detective Conan ThemeKatsuo Ōno

Detective Conan 'Main Theme' [Absolutely Playable Even for Beginners! How to Play on Piano] Level ☆☆

The theme song of the anime Detective Conan, which holds the record as the longest-running anime program, is Detective Conan Main Theme.

Composed by Katsuo Ono, who is also known for composing the music for Taiyo ni Hoero!, it’s a popular number often heard in brass band performances and used as a cheer song at high school baseball games.

The minor-key melody is really cool, so I think many people want to try playing it on the piano.

A point that makes it recommendable for beginners is that, despite the tempo, the melody line feels calm, and the hand movement isn’t actually that fast, so you can play it even if your fingers don’t move very quickly.

Tower of FlowersSayuri

[Beginner] Sayuri - “Flower Tower” (TV Anime “Lycoris Recoil” Ending Theme) [Easy Piano]

The ending theme of the anime Lycoris Recoil, which portrays the exploits of girls working to deter crime, is Sayuri’s “Hana no Tō” (Tower of Flowers).

The original is a rock tune with a cool, fast-paced 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.

Definitely give it a try!

Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA

[Must-see for beginners] Easy Piano Gurenge LiSA Demon Slayer OP

LiSA’s “Gurenge” gained massive popularity alongside the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba becoming a social phenomenon.

When the show began airing in 2019, the song was used as the opening theme and reached No.

1 on various Billboard charts.

Many people have probably listened to it so many times that they can hum along, so I imagine plenty are eager to give it a try.

Because it’s a fast-tempo song, the quick melodic movement can be a bit tricky, but if you’re familiar with the melody, it’s surprisingly doable.

It also scores points for having only one sharp and not using many black keys.

Suzume feat. ToakaRADWIMPS

[Easy Piano] Suzume (RADWIMPS feat. Toaka) / Theme song of “Suzume” (Suzume no Tojimari)

Makoto Shinkai, renowned for his stunning visuals and psychological portrayals, released his film Suzume in 2022.

The theme song chosen for the film is Suzume, a collaboration between RADWIMPS and Toaka.

The track begins with an a cappella that fully showcases Toaka’s one-of-a-kind voice and carries a somewhat oriental atmosphere.

The original song can be played mostly on the white keys with only one black key, and its slow, ballad-like tempo makes it easy to play without rushing—points that make it especially recommended for beginners.

Give it a try!

Doraemon: Make My Dreams Come Truemao

Doraemon: Make My Dream Come True / mao: Piano (Solo) / Beginner

The song chosen as the opening theme for the Doraemon TV anime starting in 2007 is mao’s “Yume wo Kanaete Doraemon” (Make My Dreams Come True, Doraemon).

Its march-like sound makes you feel cheerful and excited as you listen.

Some children may become interested in the piano, and nursery or kindergarten teachers might also want to give this piece a try.

Because the melody features rapid repetitions of the same note, relax your right arm and use the rebound of your fingertips to play lightly.

For the left-hand accompaniment, there are various sheet music options, ranging from playing just single bass notes to arpeggiated broken chords.

If you can handle that, even beginners should be able to take on this piece!

Aim to be a Pokémon MasterRika Matsumoto

Aim to Be a Pokémon Master / Rica Matsumoto: Piano (Solo) / Beginner

The theme song of the anime Pokémon, which depicts the adventures of the protagonist Satoshi (Ash) and Pikachu, is “Aim to Be a Pokémon Master.” It is the seventh single by Rica Matsumoto, who voiced Satoshi, and it reached No.

7 on the Oricon singles chart.

The B-melody and chorus modulate and require several black keys, so they might be a bit challenging, but the A-melody can be played using only white keys, and the two-note melody continues for a while, making it relatively approachable.

Aim for an energetic sound and give it a try!

My Neighbor TotoroJoe Hisaishi

Joe Hisaishi 'My Neighbor Totoro' [Absolutely Playable Even for Beginners! How to Play on Piano] Level: ☆☆

This is the ending theme of the classic Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, released in 1988.

Together with the opening theme, Sanpo, it was included on Azumi Inoue’s single, and both have become representative songs of Japanese anime music.

The melody of My Neighbor Totoro is well known, making it easy for piano beginners to learn, and it’s also approachable because the piece is in F major, which uses only one black key.

It’s a song I highly recommend tackling with a spring in your step so you can capture the original’s light, lively feel!
