Yuichiro Hanada’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

A Big Little StoryHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya57rank/position

[With Mother] A Big-Little Story — June 2022 Monthly Song, NHK E-TV [🐜🐘 🐜🐘]

When you line up big creatures and small creatures, you can clearly see their differences and individuality—that’s the kind of song “The Big-Little Story” is.

It cheerfully teaches us, through a fun tune, that it’s important to look at each one’s strengths from many angles: big creatures have these traits, small creatures have those traits.

By making the most of each character, what’s lacking can be covered by what’s abundant.

That kind of coexistence is important, isn’t it? It’s an energetic number that sings, “Let’s all get along—big ones and small ones together.” With its fun rhythm and melody, everyone can dance along, too.

If You Know, We’re Friends ~Kekechama the Know-It Frog~ / Together with Mother: Kekechama Song / cover: Together with Father – Yoko Ueno

The feeling of wanting to learn what you don’t yet know is important.

When you discover a world you hadn’t known, your own world expands—and you’ll probably end up loving it even more.

“Shireba Tomodachi ~Shirita Gaeru no Kekechama~,” which carries that curiosity on fun lyrics and dance, is a cheerful number featuring Kekechama, a frog who wants to know everything.

Brimming with curiosity, Kekechama dives into whatever he wants to learn and takes on the challenge.

This inquisitive Kekechama sings and dances in a fun and playful way.

Be sure to sing and dance along with your children and play to your heart’s content!
