Yuichiro Hanada’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (31–40)
Like, you know… and stuff… ohhh, I get it, I get it.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko31rank/position
Released in October 2021, the “Song of the Moon” is titled “Nannan, Tokatoka, Naa-runaru.” It’s a fun title, right? This song, with its mysterious vibe, was written and composed by TOBI, the vocalist of Les Romanesques—a music duo popular in Europe’s club scene and at festivals.
The lyrics are mostly just the words from the title, but their impact is sure to make kids love it.
The dance is slow in tempo yet flashy and amusing, so your children will definitely enjoy dancing to it!
Magical La-La-La♪Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko32rank/position
“Mahou no La La La♪” was released as the song for February 2022.
It was the monthly song for the final month of Atsuko Ono (Ono Atsuko Onee-san), who graduated in March 2022.
The lyrics were written by Aritarou and Takanori Mizoguchi, and the music was composed by Taro Masuda.
This is a very gentle song that encourages young children who find it hard to sing out confidently.
Since the “la la la” in the title is repeated many times, even children who can only sing quietly at first will likely find themselves singing louder before they know it.
Try singing it together with lots of energy!
Boo! Ska Party!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko33rank/position
The August 2020 Tsuki no Uta “Boo! Suka Party!” It’s an upbeat dance song that brightens your mood just by listening.
The song features all kinds of animals and creatures—pigs, monkeys, cows, crocodiles, and more.
It seems like everyone is gathering at the pig’s house for a party.
It would be adorable for performances at preschools, and playing it as background music at a birthday party would make for a happy time! The choreography is fast and a bit tricky, but even little kids can have fun with the call-and-response parts.
Mirai KurukuruHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko34rank/position
The April 2019 “Song of the Month,” Mirai Kurukuru.
It’s sung by Yuichiro Hanada and Atsuko Ono.
It’s a dance song with an unusually rock-like sound for a children’s song! In fact, the choreography even includes a move where you strum an imaginary guitar.
It’s a bit hard for little kids, but for older preschoolers it’s a fun track they can imitate and dance to.
It would probably hype up a karaoke session, too.
The lyrics are so positive that if you listen when you’re feeling down, your worries might just blow away!
The whale is listening.Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya35rank/position
https://www.tiktok.com/@okaitsu0936/video/7367962907637796104A gentle ballad that feels very soothing, NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho” Song of May 2024, “Kujira ga Kiiteiru” (The Whale Is Listening), is written and composed by Beautiful Hummingbird.
Beautiful Hummingbird is a duo consisting of vocalist Mitsuko Koike and guitarist Nobuaki Tabata.
With lyrics that depict the way sounds of nature connect—such as “the whale, the frog, and the wind are listening”—and a tender melody, the song gives a sense that everyone is connected.
The animation is by picture-book and animation artist Osamu Sakai, whose warm, picture-book-like visuals further enhance the song’s world.
YukifururunOno Atsuko, Hanada Yuuichirou36rank/position
Yukifururun, known as the February–March 1988 song from NHK’s popular program Okaasan to Issho.
It was sung at the time by Osamu Sakata and Yuko Kanzaki, and it remains a beloved song that continues to be passed down today.
The phrase used in the title appears frequently in the lyrics of this very cute tune.
For adults, snowfall brings to mind shoveling and all sorts of hassles, but this song warms the heart by showing how children enjoy the snow in their own way.
Clockwork JimmyHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya37rank/position
It’s a heartwarming, fun song about a little wind-up character who gently winds up stopped robots, clocks, and toys, bringing them back to life and getting them moving again.
“Nejimaki Jimmy” appeared on Okaasan to Issho in November 2023.
The lyrics were written by Akio Miyazawa, and the music was composed by Toriro Miki.
Both are known for their extensive work on music for Japanese children’s programs.
Wrapped in jazzy sounds that open up an antique world, the song warms your heart and makes you think, “All right, I’ll try again!” thanks to little Jimmy’s gentle power—a truly cozy, uplifting tune.
I want to ride a vehicle.Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya38rank/position
A lively, vehicle-themed song has arrived! Sung by Yuichiro Hanada and Tamaa Nagata, this fun melody features 20 uniquely charming vehicles making their appearances one after another.
Its up-tempo, rhythmic style layered with light, friendly vocals makes it an irresistibly catchy track that will have you swaying along.
The broadcast began in November 2024, and the song is also included in the songbook “Takaromono” as of April 2025.
It’s a piece that children who love vehicles will adore—and parents can enjoy together with them.
Open your imaginations with your child and take flight into the world of all kinds of vehicles!
Ho-re!Hanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya39rank/position
Just when you think it starts with a melancholy, flamenco-like melody, Ho-Re! suddenly bursts into a cheerful rhythm and tune—it’s a song about vegetables growing in the fields.
With lively, dig-dig beats, it shows, through a fun dance, how potatoes, daikon radishes, and carrots are briskly dug up from the soil.
The witty lyrics are another highlight.
There’s even a little learning element, as you wonder what kinds of vegetables grow in a field.
It’s also fun that familiar dishes made with those vegetables appear in the lyrics.
Come on—sing, dance, and play to the steady Ho-re, ho-re rhythm!
Morning Pella!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko40rank/position
Just hearing the title of this track, “AsaPella!”, you might not really know what to make of it.
I’m told “AsaPella” is a coined word combining “asa” (morning) and “a cappella.” With that in mind, when you listen you’ll notice a truly beautiful harmony created solely by human voices.
And since it’s a song themed around the morning, it leaves you feeling fresh and breezy.
It’s definitely a track I hope you’ll play in the morning to kick off your day with a perfect head start.
