Standard Japanese Chord Progression Quick-Reference Library
110+ standard progressions compiled (deduplicated and merged) from three Japanese composition textbooks:
- 《もっと!思いどおりに作曲ができる本》 (Ken Kawamura, Rittor Music), Chapter 5 progression patterns No.1–81
- 《できる ゼロからはじめる作曲 超入門》, Appendix 1 practical progressions ①–⑯ (plus glossary entries)
- 《クリエイター&エンジニア直伝!プロの曲作りテクニック》, KOUGA's "simple chord progressions" feature, 25 patterns
How to use
- Every entry uses the uniform format:
Degrees | Key=C letter example | Mood/Scene | Notes. - Degrees are universal "jersey numbers" portable to any key (DAW transposition / guitar capo / the 12-key diatonic chord table all work).
- Notation conventions:
△7= major seventh chord;m7(♭5)= half-diminished seventh;X/YandX(onY)are synonymous = slash chord (Y is the bass note);·= chord changes every 2 beats within one bar;|= bar grouping in 8-bar patterns;%= repeat the previous bar. - Minor-key progressions are demonstrated in Key=Am (degrees treat Am as Im).
- This file contains category navigation + the ~40 most-used progressions; the complete list (118 entries, including all clichés/pedal patterns, borrowed-chord types, 20 minor-key entries, all eight 8-bar patterns, and source numbers) is in progressions-full.md in the same directory.
