"Departure Day", composed by Hiromi Sakamoto, is a familiar graduation song for elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools.
It was an original song written by a junior high school teacher in 1991 for his students, but it quickly gained popularity and is now covered by famous artists.
This time, we will introduce free piano sheet music for the day of departure.
*This is just a piano solo score. Please note that this is not for accompaniment to choral music (playing and singing).
*The song is more complex and difficult than other graduation songs. Please note that the difficulty level is higher than the notation of other sheet music introduced on this site.

Free sheet music ① (Introductory version with do-re-mi)
First, here is a simple sheet music that I made myself.
The do-re-mi scale is attached, and the left-hand sound is composed of the root note of a basic chord.
If you use the melody line in your right hand, you can also play it with other instruments such as the recorder or pianica.
*Part of the song has been omitted.
Free sheet music ② (beginner)
Next is the music score, which is slightly more difficult.
The right hand is not much different from ①, but the left hand moves well.
The difficulty level is beginner.
*Part of the song has been omitted.
Free sheet music ③ (intermediate)
Finally, this sheet music is for those who can play the piano to some extent.
It's a little closer to the original song, but I've also added some arrangements for piano solo.
The difficulty level is intermediate.
The first and second verses are created using different left-hand accompaniment patterns. Please play it with whoever you like.
*Some parts of the bass part of the melody cannot be expressed due to finger limitations.
