The music for the Japanese fantasy film "Howl's Moving Castle" (released in 2004) was composed by Joe Hisaishi. The film tells the story of the hat-maker Sophie, who tries to break a spell that turned her into an old woman... Several versions of the film's main theme, "The Merry-Go-Round of Life", were released - including a beautiful piano arrangement.
In the OnlinePianist app, you can also find piano tutorials for many other Anime songs (such as “Unravel” from Tokyo Ghoul, “The Hero” from One Punch Man, “Courage”, “Ignite”, “Innocence” and “Crossing Field” from Sword Art Online, “My Most Precious Treasure” from Angel Beats, “Ignite”, “Courage” and “Crossing Field” from Sword Art Online, the Pokémon Theme and “Styx Helix” from Re:Zero) and songs from other TV series and movies (from the Simpsons to Game of Thrones).
You can find them all here: bit.ly/36090gw
Of course, we also have tutorials for countless hits from classical music to modern pop, from Games, movies and TV series - just follow the link above to take a look!
We hope you will find this tutorial useful for learning the song!
Make sure to check out the tutorial on our website (just follow the link at the top of this description) - you can choose between an easy version for beginners, and one that’s a bit more challenging (for more experienced players).
If you have an iOS or Android device, check out our free App! Just follow the links at the bottom.
We have a ton of great features to offer, for example you will see the chords for every part of the song, you can change the speed, learn hands individually, we tell you which fingers to use on which key, when to push the sustain pedal, and much more… You can even transpose a song to a different key it you want to sing along!

I recommend that you start with an easier one like the little star where are you or the one with the pink panther because it still has a somewhat medium level of difficulty for someone who has never played the piano
