I have a question, when we talk about the royal road progression, if we are in C major, for example, the royal road starts in the IV of C major, that means F is the first chord?
Royal road comes from the an ancient chinese word王道,which means the way to be the king(the opposite is the way to be the conqueror),also means the best or most correct、most useful way now,especially in japanese. But translated to english,the meaning changed to sut-short,which still make sense though.
IV V iii vi - this is the royal road progression, and the progression you have shown is with the addition of the also very common progression of ii - V - I, which is well known as the most ubiquitous jazz chord progression there is - but it's used a lot in Japanese music too.
Good info but a word of advice: if we're searching anime piano chord progressions for the purposes of composition, we already know what a relative minor is
We were in the key of C major. The IV-V-vi chord progression in C major is F major, G major, and A minor.
