Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card piano

English name: Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Edition / Piano Solo Album

Japanese name: 楽しいバイエル併用　カードキャプター　さくら　クリアカード編／ピアノ・ソロ・アルバム

Clear Card Arc is my favorite version of Sakura. I’ve watched the anime through several times and I’m still holding out for a continuation now that the manga has completed. Even if there isn’t one, I love the music from the show and had to add the piano book to my collection.

Each of the songs has different character art, and it’s not just all Sakura outfits. The other characters make an appearance too. The pages are matte, making it easy to read. The back features multiple pages of how-to-read music and demonstrated augmented, diminished, and seventh cords better than my English piano books. It also features how to read notes in various languages. It lists Italian (do re me fa so), English (C D E F G), Japanese (ha ni ho he to i ro ha), and German (C D E F G A H C). I’d never seen the Japanese or German notes before, but it’s always interesting to see how other countries label notes.

The book also has multiple lyrics pages for the vocal songs with character art on the bottom.
