"Spirited Away" is a Studio Ghibli film directed by Hayao Miyazaki that aired in 2001.
I remember that it was in the news from the first day it aired, partly because it came after "Princess Mononoke," which became a hot topic.
As of 2018, it remains the highest grossing Japanese movie of all time.
That overwhelmingly mysterious world view is very interesting.
When I first saw it, I thought ``Princess Mononoke'' was more interesting, but after watching it a few times, I started liking Spirited Away more.
It was rumored at the time that it might be the setting for the inn that appears in Spirited Away (although director Hayao Miyazaki later denied this), Jiufen, Taiwan, is a place of life. I would like to go there at least once.
Well, this time I've put together a list of free sheet music for songs that appear in Spirited Away.

always and again
First of all, this song is ``Always Again and Again''.
This song was sung as the theme song for ``Spirited Away'' and was nominated for the Gold Award at the Japan Record Awards. Not only Yumi Kimura's singing voice but also the lyrics are amazing. I especially like the phrase, ``Even on a shattered mirror, a new scenery is reflected.'' By the way, "Always with me" is translated into English as "Always with me."
Free 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.
Free 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.
Free sheet music ③ (intermediate)
Finally, there is a slightly more difficult sheet music for intermediate difficulty.
The chorus part has a different accompaniment pattern from the original song, so we recommend watching the performance video at the link before making a decision.
Reprise
Next is "Futatabi", which plays at the end of the movie when Haku and Sen fall from the sky holding hands.
Free sheet music ① (Introductory version with do-re-mi)
This is a sheet music for beginners that starts with the theme melody and basic chord root accompaniment.
The right hand has a slightly wider range, but the left hand is easier.
The difficulty level is beginner.
*Only number 1.

Free sheet music ② (beginner)
Next is the music score with a slightly more difficult level.
It is set in the key of G major, just like the beginning of the original song.
This arrangement is for piano practice, so the atmosphere may have changed slightly from the original.
The difficulty level is beginner.
*Only number 1 is available.

Free sheet music ③ (intermediate)
Finally, this sheet music is for those who can play the piano to some extent.
The key is changed many times, but as the song title suggests, it returns to the original key at the end.
The left hand has some detailed arrangements here and there.
The difficulty level is intermediate.

The name of life (to that summer)
"The Name of Life" is a song also known as "Ano Natsu e".
There is no difference in melody or anything between these two.
The lyrics to "Ano Natsu e" are sung as "The Name of Life."
Please note that the sheet music introduced this time is only the first verse.
Free sheet music ① (Introductory version with do-re-mi)
This is a sheet music for beginners that starts with the theme melody and basic chord root accompaniment.
The right hand has a slightly wider range, but the left hand is easier.
The difficulty level is beginner.

Free sheet music ② (beginner)
Next is the musical score, which is a little difficult.
The right hand is not much different from ①, but the left hand is significantly different.
In particular, it moves an octave, so spread your fingers wide and slide your arms as you play.
The difficulty level is beginner.
