It inspires many to try playing it themselves or simply enjoy the talent of others. For those visiting Japan, I highly recommend checking out these street pianos. They’re interactive cultural gems often overlooked. And if you’re a Demon Slayer fan, listening to 'Gurenge' performed live on a street piano adds a layer of authenticity to your fandom experience.
