[Free sheet music you can use now] Ghibli summary - all 11 works 38 sheet music

Studio Ghibli has produced many blockbuster films, including those directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

There are probably many people who grew up watching Ghibli movies in their childhood. Of course the story and characters are good, but the songs composed by Joe Hisaishi are really great. If you look at the piano scores sold at bookstores and musical instruments stores, there are many scores compiled by Studio Ghibli.

``Castle in the Sky'' was the movie I watched the most when I was a child. I had been taking piano lessons since then, and I remember that at my piano recital, I asked my teacher to play the Laputa song.

This time, we will introduce excerpts of free piano scores for Joe Hisaishi's songs that appear in Studio Ghibli works.

Many of the sheet music posted for free are poorly arranged and the atmosphere may be disrupted. We have compiled a list of scores that we feel are of high quality among these free scores.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind

To be exact, it is a work by Top Craft, the predecessor of Studio Ghibli.

The staff includes key figures from Studio Ghibli, including Toshio Suzuki and Joe Hisaishi.

bird person

Personally, this is my favorite Nausicaa song.

``Birdman'' also has several patterns, but this one connects to the opening theme from the second half.

The difficulty level intermediate .

Battle between Meve and Corvette

Next up is the "Battle between Mewe and Corvette."

I think it's a song that even people who don't know the title will understand once they hear it.

Laputa Castle in the Sky

a timeless masterpiece directed by Hayao Miyazaki, which many people say is their favorite of all the Studio Ghibli films .

Above all, the overwhelming presence of an enemy character called ``Musca'' is impressive.

It may also be the reason why children love adventures into mysterious worlds that have a touch of reality.

Carrying you

Speaking of Laputa, this is it. This song is used in the ED of the movie "Castle in the Sky".

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.

<Click ↓↓ for sheet music>

Sheet music ② (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.

pigeon and boy

This song is played in the scene where Pazu plays the trumpet to the pigeons before leaving town.

Sheet music ① (Introductory version with do-re-mi)

First is a simple sheet music with do-re-mi.

My Neighbor Totoro

"My Neighbor Totoro" is a Ghibli movie that most people have seen.

It is a masterpiece that always ranks high in the number of broadcasts even on Friday Road Show. In particular, ``Walk'' and ``My Neighbor Totoro'' are so famous that they are sung at nursery schools.

Stroll

First up is "Sanpo", the opening theme for Totoro.

Speaking of Totoro, many people probably think of ``Walk'' and ``My Neighbor Totoro.'' Nowadays, it is treated as a nursery rhyme and has become a national song.

Sheet music ① (Introductory version with do-re-mi)

First of all, here's an introductory difficulty sheet music with do-re-mi that I made myself.

It's a series of triplets, but I think you can play it smoothly if you play the original song in your head.

Some slightly difficult intros and interludes have been omitted.

Sheet music ② (intermediate)

Next is the sheet music of intermediate difficulty for those who can play the piano to some extent.

My Neighbor Totoro

This is the famous "My Neighbor Totoro" song.

It plays in the ED (or maybe?) of the work.

Sheet music ①

This is an introductory level sheet music with self-made do-re-mi.

I try not to play the black keys as much as possible in C major. Also, the left hand has been reduced to Beyer difficulty so that it can be played with a fixed hand position.

On the other hand, the right hand for the melody part has a slightly wider range, so you need to be careful how you use your fingers.

You may be confused by the difference between the rhythms of your right and left hands, but make sure to use a metronome to learn your sense of rhythm.

You can also listen to the performance video at the link.

Sheet music ②

This is a self-made sheet music of intermediate difficulty level.

Recommended for those who can play the piano to some extent. Since the key is transposed to C major, it may feel a little strange if you play it while playing the original song in your head.

path through the wind

The third most famous song in My Neighbor Totoro is ``Kaze no Toru Michi.''

Actually, it seems that this song was not created by composer Joe Hisaishi for the ``My Neighbor Totoro'' movie.

He created it but didn't release it, and when he offered the music for "My Neighbor Totoro," he said, "This is it."

In fact, this song fits perfectly with Totoro, as it has a dreamlike atmosphere and yet somehow feels warm.

Porco Rosso

"Porco Rosso" is a film directed by Hayao Miyazaki that aired in 1992.

Some of the songs from Porco Rosso are often played on the piano as jazz.

As the catchphrase suggests, the movie expresses "cool".

Days of no return

This is one of the most famous songs from Porco Rosso.

This song, which has a distinctive jazz melody, is often seen on video sites.

As you can see if you look at the score, there are a lot of triplets in the score.

Tokiko Kato's ``Sometimes Old Stories'' is the ending theme for the film.

Regardless of the fact that it's a Porco Rosso song, it's a very good song.

The difficulty level intermediate .

Sometimes we talk about the past

It's a bit of a maniacal song, but it's one of my personal favorites.

This song plays in the scene where Gina is reading in the garden when Curtis comes to propose, and when she's laughing, Porco comes by plane and Gina says, ``Idiot...'' (Sorry if it's hard to understand.)

This is a young love movie, which is unusual for Hayao Miyazaki's work.

Personally, I like the original song, but I really like the song arranged in the movie, Country Road, sung by Shizuku Tsukishima.

It's a famous title with box office revenue of about 20 billion yen.

Another feature of his work is that he has many famous sayings such as "Shut up, kid!"

Departure - To the West -

The first song I'll introduce is the music when Ashitaka leaves the village and heads "to the west." It uses phrases from the theme song ``Princess Mononoke,'' but the tone is more transparent and somewhat sad.

The following sheet music reproduces the atmosphere of the original song as much as possible.

*The tempo is a little faster than the original song, so if you're interested, you can play it slower.

Spirited Away

"Spirited Away" is a Studio Ghibli film directed by Hayao Miyazaki that aired in 2001.

Partly because it came after ``Princess Mononoke,'' which became a hot topic, it was featured in commercials and news every day.

As of 2018, it is the highest grossing Japanese movie of all time.

Personally, I prefer "Princess Mononoke"...

always and again

First of all, this song is ``Always Again and Again''.

This is a famous song that was nominated for the Gold Award at the Japan Record Awards. Of course, Yumi Kimura's singing voice is wonderful, but personally, what matters most is the lyrics. I especially like the phrase, ``Even on a shattered mirror, a new scenery is reflected.'' .

Sheet music ① (Introductory version with do-re-mi)

The first is an introductory sheet music with do-re-mi that I made myself.

I transposed it to C major and added the do-re-mi scale.

It's especially easy to play with the left hand, and once you master the right hand, you'll be able to play it right away.

It can be played not only on the piano but also on the recorder and pianica.

Sheet music ② (beginner)

Next is the beginner difficulty level, which matches the key of the original song.

The left hand has a wide range of notes and requires large hand movements, but it is composed almost entirely of single notes, so I think it is easy for beginners to play.

The name of life (to that summer)

"The Name of Life" is a song also known as "Ano Natsu e".

These two names are often listed in sheet music under different names, but they are basically the same.

The lyrics to ``Ano Natsu e'' have been changed to ``The Name of Life.''

I think the sheet music I'm introducing is perfect for a free sheet music, both in terms of the excitement of the song and the way the chords are used.

This is a score of intermediate

Use a metronome to keep a constant tempo while playing.

It was especially a hit with the younger generation of women, and in 2002, the year it was aired, it became the highest-grossing Japanese movie in terms of box office revenue.

The theme song ``Kaze Naru'' is a masterpiece with so many fans that it still ranks in karaoke rankings.

Become the wind

“Kaze Naru” has a lot of fans.

After it actually aired, it was a huge hit, as one might expect from director Hayao Miyazaki.

merry-go-round of life

When it comes to Howl's Moving Castle, this is the song.

It is often featured in Ghibli sheet music. It's a typical waltz song.

Therefore, when playing it, be sure to play it like a waltz, with the first ``dun'' being strong and the ``cha'' being weak.

Contrail

"Hikoukigumo" by Yumi Arai (Yumi Matsutoya) is used as the ending theme in the film.

Although this song was originally released a long time ago, it matches the content of the movie very well. (Maybe it's a trick)

The sheet music I am introducing is an intermediate difficulty level sheet music that I created myself.

I'm making it a little closer to healing music.
