Speaking of Setsubun, this song ``Mamemaki'' comes to mind.
"At night, I'm in the middle of nowhere, and I'm going to sneak away."
It's a very upbeat nursery rhyme that sticks in your head once you hear it, as you can see from the lyrics.
This song is a Japanese song released at the beginning of the Showa era, but its author is unknown.
The person who created it may not have expected it to spread so widely around the world.
This time, I will introduce the free sheet music for "Mamemaki".
It is a very short and simple song, so it is one of the songs that is easy for children and beginners to follow.
There is also sheet music with do-re-mi, so if you are a beginner, please try that as well.

Mamemaki Free sheet music ① (C major with do-re-mi introduction)
The first thing I will introduce is a simple sheet music with my own do-re-mi. (This is the music score of the Youtube video at the beginning)
The key is transposed to C major, and the score does not use any black keys.
The last line is a little difficult to use with your fingers. Please use the finger numbers as an example for your reference.
If you play with a smartphone piano app or pianica, please use this.
Mamemaki Free Sheet Music ② (Beginner)
Next is an introduction to another site, sheet music for beginners.
Like ①, it is written in the key of C major, but chords can sometimes be seen mainly in the left hand.
It's the same pattern over and over again, so if you play slowly and don't rush, I think you'll be able to pull it off without any problems.
It also includes a prelude, so I think it's an easy-to-use score to sing with your children.
The difficulty level beginner .
Mamemaki Free Sheet Music ③ (Beginner to Intermediate)
The last thing I'd like to introduce is my own sheet music in G major.
I think it might be a little difficult for beginners because the range of the left hand is a little wide.
When you feel comfortable with your performance, try changing the tempo and dynamics as you like while thinking about the lyrics of the song.

Lastly, there is a sheet music created by a professional from ``Printo Gakufu'' operated by YAMAHA.
There is a fee, so if you are not satisfied with the free sheet music above, please search for it here. Music scores with various difficulty levels and arrangements are available for sale.
Since you can purchase individual songs, it's a better deal than buying a sheet music collection at a bookstore.
