A must-see for everyone from kids to adults! Yuichiro Hanada and Atsuko Ono’s popular songs (21–30)
Hug—Professor!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko22rank/position

Verbal communication is important, and sometimes things are conveyed through physical touch, just like in this song! It’s a song about how you can understand your parents’ feelings by giving them a big hug.
It’s true… If you have children, you probably hug them often, right? You can gauge their mood by whether they welcome it or not.
And maybe, at that moment, your child is actually checking how you’re feeling, too.
In any case, physical contact is a chance to deepen closeness! Let’s hug along with the song!
Breeze SneakersHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko23rank/position

Kids love taking walks.
Once they head out in their favorite sneakers, they never want to go home, right? In this song too, they put on their sneakers and go adventuring under the blue sky to all sorts of places.
It’s the kind of track that makes you want to head out as you listen.
Sora Sora SomenHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko24rank/position

Released in June 2021, “Sora Sora Somen” is a fun, striking song with a real impact—especially with the somen noodles dancing around! Sung from the perspective of flowing somen, the lyrics freshly and adorably depict the noodle’s feelings as it’s boiled and eaten cold.
It’s great for dancing with kids, and it sounds fun to sing while cooking somen together.
Plus, since it has a Soran-bushi-style rhythm, dancing to it like Soran-bushi would be super fun too.
Definitely give it a try!
Elephant ImaginationHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko25rank/position

The song “Zou no Souzou,” which aired in January 2020.
As the title suggests, it’s a lively tune where an elephant expands its imagination and discovers many things.
For children, seeing various things and imagining them can lead to lots of discoveries and growth.
I believe it’s a song that helps young children recognize that they are “using their imagination” with their own minds.
Whether it’s things with form or without, please enjoy letting your imagination expand infinitely!
Taiko MoonHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko26rank/position

This is the September 2019 song “Taiko Moon.” The lyrics are by Yayako Uchida.
It’s a song created with September’s harvest moon and moon-viewing in mind.
A cute character called Taiko Moon—like a drum and like a full moon—appears and instantly captivates the children.
It’s a very charming song in which the character discovers round things just like itself.
Teto-teto, patan.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko27rank/position

This is the October 2019 song “Tetote to Patan.” It’s a children’s song, but it has a folk music feel and a tempo that’s surprisingly tricky to sing.
When I found out the lyrics were by Seiko Ito and the music was by U-zhaan, it somehow all made sense.
It’s challenging, but incredibly catchy—a cute little tune that makes even adults want to move along with it.
Let’s go out!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko28rank/position

It’s the song that was used on “Okaasan to Issho: Atsumare! Doyoubi” when the children danced together with the Taiso big brother and big sister.
Set to a hip-hop-style track, it seems like they make a bento with rice balls, rolled omelet, and fried shrimp and then head out.
