Yuichiro Hanada Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (41–50)
Hug—Professor!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko43rank/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!
Advance! Sutten Sukk!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko44rank/position

The May 2020 “Song of the Month,” “Susume! Suttenssukku!” It’s a song that portrays “Suttenssukku,” who keeps moving forward no matter if there are mountains or walls in the way.
Failure is proof that you tried.
It’s far cooler to take on a challenge and fail than to do nothing out of fear of failing.
It’s a song that gives courage to children who are about to experience many things.
I hope they’ll try anything, just like in this song.
The melody has a cool vibe, but it’s also easy for women to sing.
Breeze SneakersHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko45rank/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 Atsuko46rank/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!
birdHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko47rank/position

It’s a song about birds that can’t fly.
Ostriches, penguins, and chickens have wings, but they can’t soar through the sky.
Still, this song isn’t a lament about being unable to fly; it teaches us that even though we’re not all the same, each of us can live happily just as we are.
People, too, each have different appearances and personalities, but that’s not something strange or wrong—and that’s the message I want to share through this song.
hungry mantisHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko48rank/position

It’s the June 2019 song “Hungry Praying Mantis.” The mantis, who loves anything that moves, goes out to hunt when it gets hungry and tries to catch prey as soon as it spots it—but upon seeing hardworking ants and bees, or a cicada that has slept underground for years, it gives up, deciding it can’t eat them.
That endearing hesitation is utterly charming.
The song is packed with onomatopoeia that kids love, making it an addictive tune.
Ta-da-da-da-daaa!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko49rank/position

It takes courage to try something you’ve never done before—even for adults.
All the more so for little kids who don’t have much experience in the world yet.
But maybe this upbeat song will help lift their spirits.
There are surely many parents who want their children to take on all kinds of challenges with the attitude this song conveys.
Sometimes they’ll fail.
But if they succeed, let’s celebrate with a big “Panpaka-paan!”—just like the song’s title!
