Another great addition of Studio Ghibli scores. Many thanks to Wasabi Sheet Music and Rie!
I love these arrangements! Highly recommend. Thanks Rie!
Order arrived sooner than I thought and am exceptionally pleased with this sheet music and the others in my order! Thanks again you Rie!!!!
Ordered this for a friend who loves Attack on Titan and also the music from the show. A bit of a challenge for someone who is solidly in the intermediate stage of piano, so I definitely do not recommend this to someone starting out in beginner's piano. Quality of the book is amazing, and the seller was very thoughtful in including a nice greeting card and also printed a title page with the English titles of the song to make the book easier to navigate.
It's also definitely not a random person converting the song by ear and doing their best to put it on sheet music--this has the quality of a professionally arranged music and properly published, which I appreciated immensely. One of the reasons I wanted to order it from Japan is that it had a higher chance of that being the case since the show was from Japan. I cannot comment on how true to the original the songs feel though, as I have not watched the show but a quick test of the sheet music sounds good.
Delivery was fast, it was trackable, and went very smoothly--includes signed delivery. Music book arrived in excellent condition. Very happy with my purchase.
The book is well packed and neat, without any dents.
Nice~^^
Arrived on time in good condition and just what we wanted. Thank you
Well packaged and service was immaculate! The bandscore even came with a nice postcard which I thought was a great touch. Thank you so much and I hope your company continues to thrive because you deserve it :)
Family loves the sound and the level matched the description. We enjoy Ghibli songs a lots!
Love it! Great purchase! Received a nice card from seller too!
Very good product. Shipped from Japan and came very quickly to Canada.
One song with variations for a Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and as a Duet! Such a great combo.
Came in quickly and in great condition. I love the little postcards which always come attached as well.
Great arrangements!
I loved the compact, yet functional packaging of the books, it all arrived in perfect condition!
The title gives it basically already away. Not only came the order in just about a week after ordering (from Japan to Germany) but it came also in perfect condition. No dents, bends or creases to be found. Plus it came with a small but absolutely neat extra. Would definitely order something again if needed.
I honestly don’t know how this was approved for publication. This piano book is incredibly inaccurate and feels carelessly put together.
Most of the pieces are poorly transcribed — key parts are missing, wrong notes are everywhere, and in many places, things are added that simply don’t belong. As a result, the arrangements fail to capture the essence and emotion of the original soundtrack. They often sound awkward and off, completely missing the mark.
On top of that, several passages are practically unplayable. It’s clear that little to no effort was made to adapt the music properly for piano, which makes the book frustrating to use even for advanced players. I do understand that some pieces are difficult to transcribe for solo piano, but even with that in mind, the arrangements in this book still failed terribly.
Additionally, I strongly disagree with many of the chord symbols written above the staff. Not only are they musically questionable, but their use is inconsistent — they appear in some pieces but not in others — which adds to the overall messiness and lack of professionalism.
Overall, I’m extremely disappointed. I would not recommend this book to anyone. You can honestly find far better (and more accurate) transcriptions for free on Musescore.

I have tried to contact Wasabi Music multiple times regarding their mistaken shipment, but there is no response. I ordered this but they sent me Trombone music instead. I would have preferred to not give them a one star review, but their failure to respond is very disturbing. Are the rest of the reviews on this site just a lie?
Dear Lucas,
We sincerely apologize for the mistake with your order and the delay in our response. We understand how frustrating this must have been.
On April 9th, we sent a message via Shopify informing you that the correct item, Studio Ghibli Collection for Oboe and Piano, had been shipped that same day. If you missed that message, we’ve also sent a copy via email for your reference.
The correct sheet music should be arriving soon, and we truly appreciate your patience during this process.
Your feedback is very important to us, and we hope to regain your trust. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any further questions.
Thank you again for your understanding and support.
The book was packaged so nicely and arrived from Japan much faster than I had anticipated. It included a special note from the seller and small gift. I loved the list of songs included in English which was very helpful. Highly recommended seller.
This book is exactly as described. It certainly is for beginners, the music is very simplified compared to the original tracks, but if you're just starting out like I am, this is very welcome.
I would like to specifically thank Rie from Wasabi Sheet Music for the excellent customer service. I originally intended to buy a different book, but when it turned out to be unavailable, she immediately ordered a different, very similar one for me instead. I got in touch to say that I had ordered the book hoping for a specific song in its list, and the replacement didn't have one. She very kindly went out of her way to find yet another option that was available and that did have the song I wanted, at cost to herself.
Thank you, Rie. It has taken me a long time to write this review but I had to make sure I came back to show my gratitude.
Top city pop songs from top city pop artists. The harmony and melody are notated well, capturing the great feeling of these songs.
Includes "I can't stop the loneliness" under the name of "Kanashimi ga Tomaranai".
Good care in shipping and delivery, with a nice companion for the songs.
The arrangements are pretty interesting, with a nice selection of songs from the game.
While most of the songs are pretty difficult, some of them are also pretty easy for an intermediate pianist.
Albeit the original tracks are very ambient-y, on the piano most of the arrangements feel very well crafted and curated.
The item was delivered fast and with a companion for the songs. Most of them are upper-intermediate and pretty challenging, but a pair of them can also be tackled by early-intermediate keyboardists. Very good arrangements all around, nevertheless.
The item was delivered quickly, with clear tracking and a handy companion for the songs. Very nice quality and customer experience all together.
I haven't played much from this yet, but it's so cool that this exists!
My book of music arrived quickly all the way from Japan! When I missed the delivery the company followed up with me to make sure I knew I had to pick it up so it wouldn't be sent back. I like the collection of music and am looking forward to playing it!
