Mysterious Adventure! “Dragon Ball” (Easy Piano Version)

Many people who want to play anime songs on the piano probably want to play “Makafushigi Adventure.” The manga and anime Dragon Ball, epitomized by Akira Toriyama, has now become a Japanese anime loved around the world.

When it comes to popular anime songs, many tracks from Dragon Ball are frequently mentioned, and alongside “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA,” this “Makafushigi Adventure” is indispensable.

Even beginners who have just started playing the piano will be highly motivated if they love Dragon Ball.

The key to performing this piece is to clearly contrast the calm and the energetic parts.

After firmly taking the rest in “Tsukamō ze! DRAGON BALL,” let it flow into “Sekai de itto—.” Since the B melody repeats many of the same notes, practice so that it aligns well with the left-hand bass.

Once you can play it perfectly, your sheet-music battle power will surely exceed 530,000.

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!
