Spirited Away” is a 2001 Studio Ghibli film directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
I remember it was in the news from the first day of airing, partly because it was after the much-talked-about “Princess Mononoke.
As of 2018, the film is still the number one grossing Japanese film of all time as of 2018.
That overwhelming sense of wonder in the world is very interesting.
When I first saw it, I thought Princess Mononoke was more interesting, but after seeing it several times, I liked Spirited Away more.
It was said at the time (though Hayao Miyazaki later denied it) that the inn in Spirited Away may have been the setting for the inn in the movie Spirited Away, and Jiufen in Taiwan is a place I would like to visit at least once in my life.
Now, we have compiled a list of free sheet music for the songs that appear in Spirited Away.

Always and again.
First is this song, “Always and Again.
This song (tune) was sung as the theme song for “Spirited Away” and was nominated for a Gold Award at the Japan Record Awards. The lyrics are wonderful, not to mention Yumi Kimura’s singing voice. I especially like the phrase, “Even on a shattered mirror, a new view is reflected. By the way, “Always with me” is translated as “Always with me” in English.
Free sheet music ① (with Doremi) (Introductory)
The first is an introductory score with dolemi of my own composition.
It is transposed to C major and all are scaled to the do-re-mi scale.
The left hand in particular is very easy, and once you have mastered the right hand, you will be playing it in no time.
It can be played not only on piano but also on recorder or pianica.
Free sheet music (2) (Elementary level)
Next is the beginner difficulty level, which is in the key of the original song.
The left hand has a wide range and moves the hand widely, but it is composed almost entirely of single notes, so even beginners will find it easy to play.
Free sheet music ③ (Intermediate)
Finally, here is a slightly more difficult score of intermediate difficulty.
The chorus part has a different accompaniment pattern from the original song, so we recommend that you watch the performance video once at the link before making a decision.
Inochi no Namae (To That Summer)
Inochi no namae” is also known as “Ano natsu e (To the summer).
There is no melody or other difference between the two.
The lyrics to “Ano Natsu He” are sung as “Inochi no Namae” (Name of Life).
Please note that all of the sheet music presented here is only the first number.
