Prince of Tennis Sheet Music Books
With so many themes and character songs, is it surprising that Prince of Tennis several sheet music books available? It’s quite difficult to hunt down information on sheet music for Tenipuri (or any anime, really), so I’ve compiled them here. Clicking any of the book titles will bring you to the Amazon Japan page. Unfortunately, all of the books are out-of-print, so if you want to purchase them, you’ll have to buy them second-hand. (See the caveat under Resources and Links.)
There might be a few errors, especially in the lyricist and composer names, as not all name pronounciations are easily found on Japanese Wikipedia. I haven’t translated the names I’m not sure of.
If you’re considering getting these books, remember that they’re labelled “Piano Solo, Elementary Level”. There are also anime song compliation books that include Tenipuri themes, but these are too diverse for me to list. If you want to find these, check Resources and Links.
