Yuichiro Hanada’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (1–10)
The bell rings.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko1rank/position
This is a song that was used as the ending theme starting in 2017.
It’s also memorable that the ending changed to this song during the broadcast of “Garapiko-pu.” It’s nice that the flow continues where the characters signal the end by passing through a tunnel they created.
The powerful rhythm that evokes a marching tune and the lyrics that depict making more friends are highlights that lift your spirits.
The development that expresses the bell sound—the song’s title—also conveys a bright atmosphere, sharing the sense of unity and fun in the moment.

This is the ending theme that was changed with the start of the 2022 series “Fantane!”.
It’s a bit sad that the hand gates and tunnels created by the show’s beloved characters since its inception have officially been removed.
A standout feature is the sign-language choreography that matches the lyrics, which adds a solid educational element in addition to the song’s fun.
The relaxed rhythm is also pleasant, and it’s a piece that invites listeners to savor the message while encouraging large, expressive movements.
UraraHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya3rank/position
Urara was the first “Song of the Month” for Maya Onee-san on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho, debuting as the song for April 2022.
It was written and composed by Yoshiki Mizuno of Ikimonogakari.
The bright, rhythmic melody and gentle, uplifting lyrics—like “Let’s give a warm, tight hug; everything will be all right”—leave a strong impression on both children and adults.
It’s a lively yet tender tune that perfectly suits new beginnings in spring and everyday moments for parents and kids alike.
Surely a miracleHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya4rank/position
Perfect for spring, new beginnings, and the new school term—here’s an introduction to “Kitto Kiseki,” a song parents and children will want to listen to together.
Some listeners may find courage and hope in the message woven into the lyrics.
The song is being presented as the Song of April 2025.
Of course it suits the season of new encounters in spring, but it’s also a great listen when you’re feeling down or after a quarrel with a friend—it may help you feel gratitude for the people you meet and a sense of destiny.
It might even turn your attention to encounters with animals and nature beyond humans.
What a wonderful song.
March of the RoadHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya5rank/position
From NHK’s educational program “Okaasan to Issho,” here’s a lively, march-like song that’s perfect for sports days.
Set to an energetic rhythm, it joyfully sings of walking along the road, gently expressing children’s forward-looking spirit and the way they move ahead step by step.
The charming back-and-forth between Yuichiro Hanada and Maya Nagata makes it an ideal piece for entrance marches and group performances at school sports events.
It aired in January 2025 as the program’s Monthly Song and is included on the album “NHK Okaasan to Issho Best: Hyu-rara Bunbun!” Besides sports days, it’s also recommended as a song that supports children’s hearts in moments when they take a new step, such as entrance and graduation ceremonies.
Fruit TarōHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya6rank/position
A whole bunch of different “Taros”—like Peach Taro, Banana Taro, Strawberry Taro, and Cherry Taro—show up, jostle each other shoulder to shoulder, and end up in tears.
Those tears mix together to become mixed juice and special juice in this energetic and humorous song.
This is “Kudamono Taro,” which appeared as the May 2022 monthly song on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
The lyrics and illustrations are by picture-book author Yume Okuhara, and the composition is by BearGround, also known for the music in the puppet show “Garapiko Pu.” With its vividly colorful visuals and upbeat, fun melody, it’s a track that really grabs children’s hearts!
Norimaki Pera Pari OndoHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya7rank/position
The lively, festival-style song Norimaki Pera Pari Ondo, which bursts with summer festival vibes, appeared in July 2022 as the “Song of the Month” on NHK’s Okaasan to Issho.
The lyrics are by Tomomi Fujimo, and the music is by veteran composer Yasuo Kosugi, who has created numerous songs for E-Tele.
Centered on the theme of norimaki (seaweed-wrapped rolls), its catchy “pera-to pari-to” rhythm sticks in your head, and the dazzling production and characters leave a strong impression.
Yuichiro Onii-san appears as Noriko, and Maya Onee-san as Makiko, making this an irresistibly addictive tune that naturally makes you crave norimaki just by watching!
