a timeless masterpiece directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which many people say is their favorite of all the Studio Ghibli films .
The story begins with a shocking development in which a girl falls from the sky (more precisely, from the scene inside Sheeta's airship), and then Pazu and Sheeta arrive at Laputa together.
Above all, the overwhelming presence of the enemy character "Musca" is impressive. The scene where he says, "My eyes, my eyes," is very famous, but personally, my favorite line is "Hahaha, where are you going?" I often try to imitate this when playing with my children. Most of the time, people react with a blank stare. (lol)
Well, this time we will introduce free sheet music for songs that appear in "Castle in the Sky".

Carrying you
Speaking of Laputa, this is the first one.
This song is used as the ending theme for Castle in the Sky.
The image of Laputa flying off into space without being seen by anyone, which was played at the same time as the song ``Put You on My Back'', was an image that brought out the lingering feeling of the movie even more.
Sheet music ① (Introductory version with do-re-mi)
First of all, I would like to introduce a simple sheet music that I made myself.
I transposed it to C major and added the do-re-mi scale. The left hand is also simply composed of only the root note of the chord.
If you use Melody Line, you can also play it on a recorder or keyboard harmonica.

Sheet music ② (beginner)
Same as ①, only the part where the song is included, but the key is different, so I use a lot of black keys.
Also, my left hand is a little more difficult.
The difficulty level is beginner.

Sheet music ③ (intermediate)
The last piece is a highly difficult score that also includes an intro and outro.
There are relatively many different official patterns for this song, especially the intro and outro, which have completely different shapes.
Among them, I created a combination of my personal favorite intros and outros.
The key is the same as ②, but it's a little higher than the original song.

Laputa Castle in the Sky
This song appears in the scene where Pazu and Sheeta discover Laputa from the clouds.
As soon as the whole picture of Laputa comes into view, the melody changes, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
Personally, I played this song at a piano recital when I was in elementary school.
That's how much I liked Laputa back then, and I only played Laputa songs.
The sheet music below is an introduction from another site.
This score uses chords only in the exciting phrases of the song, and everything else is made up of single notes.
The left-hand dispersion chords also have many typical repeating patterns, and there are no particularly difficult parts.
The difficulty is that the score is long, but it is difficult enough even for beginners to play, so please give it a try.

pigeon and boy
This song is played early in the movie when Pazu is playing his trumpet to the pigeons.
In English sheet music, it is often written as "hato no shonen" (pigeon boy), but it is actually "pigeon and boy".
Maybe that's how it's written in English...
Sheet music ① (Introductory version with do-re-mi)
First is a simple sheet music with do-re-mi.
I extracted only the theme part and added the do-re-mi scale.
In the original song, the theme of ``Kimi wo no sode'' is included in the middle, but the sheet music introduced here is not included after that.

Sheet music ② (beginner)
Next is a slightly more difficult version of ①.
The right hand has many chords and is a little more complicated, but the left hand is less difficult.
The difficulty level is beginner.

Sheet music ③ (Orchestra version, intermediate)
Finally, there is the intermediate sheet music.
This is a piano score based on the patterns often played in Joe Hisaishi's orchestral performances.

Theta's determination
This song is played in the scene where Sheeta says to Muska, "You can't live apart from the soil!" (Maybe not).
Although the song has a sad tone, it does a good job of expressing how the song is looking forward.
This sheet music is very easy to play even for beginners.
The left-hand dispersion chords are a good finger exercise, and up to four chords allow you to practice playing each note evenly.
