I've already got one, From Anime Korewa Zombie desu ka (Kumori Nochi Hare) by Kakijima Shinji which is really soothing and relaxing as well... (Really Loved it)
You can hear it here!

I'm going to put this one out there, it's not on bkbt as far as I know...


Summer of Kikujiro

It's a live action.

Does the composer look familiar? It should.
There is a "pure" piano ver if you want...

SERIOUSLY, find and DL the whole OST. If I remember correctly, most of it was piano music.

Also watch the movie. It's a great comedy and slice of life.
This is your home now. So take advantage of everything here, except me.

Hisaishi has done several soothing piano osts like the one above. Ano Natsu, Ichiban Shizukana Umi is my favorite.

Bartender OST contain some nice ones as well,
Memories are meant to fade. They're designed that way for a reason.

This torrent has some nice piano instrumentals from the various Key/Visual Arts soundtracks (Air, Kanon, and Clannad). Well worth a listen, especially if you liked any of the series.

They're mainly in these albums: "Kanon AIR Piano Arrange Album ~Re-feel~", "Toki o Kizamu Uta / Torch Piano Arrange Disc", and "Piano Arrange -Piano no Mori-". There's also a really good version of Kanon's OP (Last Regrets) performed on piano, with vocals by Lia, on the "Kanon Best Arrange Album -Recollections-" album which I highly recommend (Youtube).

You could try an artist named Yiruma.
Here is his most famous song (as indicated by youtube hits) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-4wUfZD6oc

Also, see if the song called Lake Louise by Yuhki Kuramoto fits your taste. I find this music to be most relaxing of all the music I have in my library.

+1 for Key and Yiruma.

Also try the Aria Piano Collections. They're uploaded in a batch with the soundtracks.
