Lupin III Theme '80

Yuji Ono  

There are many different versions of the Lupin the Third theme, created for various anime seasons and theatrical films.

This time, I have arranged “Lupin the Third Theme ’80,” which was also used in The Castle of Cagliostro, for piano.

The piece strongly features elements of big band jazz, and the choral shout of “Lupin, Lupin, Lupin the Third!” in the middle section is particularly distinctive.

In this arrangement, I have carefully translated the charm of the original into a piano version while preserving as much of its character as possible, resulting in a rendition that is both satisfying to play and exciting to listen to.

ルパン三世のテーマは、アニメのシーズンや劇場版などで様々なバージョンがありますが、今回は「カリオストロの城」でも使用されたルパン三世のテーマ'80をピアノアレンジいたしました。

かなりビッグバンド・ジャズ要素が強く、中間部の「ルパンルパンルパンザサード！」のコーラスが特徴的です。

今回は原曲の魅力をなるべく欠かさずにピアノに落とし込み、弾きごたえ聴きごたえ抜群のアレンジにしてみました。
