Animal Crossings: New Horizons

Japanese title: ピアノソロ・連弾・アンサンブル　みんなで楽しむ　あつまれ　どうぶつの森（ステッカー付）

English title: Piano solo, duet, ensemble, fun for everyone: Animal Crossing: New Horizons (with stickers)

My Animal Crossings play time is 500+ on my Switch. I played with friends when it came out and it helped me connect with friends across the world. I was pretty surprised to find Animal Crossing songbooks. I mostly played at night, so I tended to hear the same tune, but I love all the music honestly. It’s really nice and chill to work to.

This book is true Animal Crossing style. It has selections to play with other people! One of the songs can be played with 2-3 friends too (now to coerce friends into playing with me). There’s also an ensemble that can be played with various instruments as accompaniment to the piano.

All of the songs have character art with icons and decals across the top. Each song also has a level rank noted by 1 – 3 music notes to note difficulty. Most of the songs are about 2 – 3 pages long, and the book is stapled so it lays pretty flat on a music stand.
