Atsuko Ono’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (11–20)
Let’s hang out!Yokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko11rank/position
This was Atsuko Ono’s debut “Monthly Song” after she became the 21st Uta no Oneesan in April 2016.
It’s a song about greeting a friend and saying, “Let’s meet again anytime.” During that year’s Family Concert at NHK Hall in Tokyo, Takumi Mitani, the 20th Uta no Oneesan, appeared as a guest and performed this song together with her.
Stylish fruitYokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko12rank/position
It’s a song that turns the question, “Why do fruits have their colors?” into music.
There are many reasons, but it seems fruits have their own motives—like wanting to be eaten deliciously or having their seeds carried.
It might be fun to imagine this while you eat.
Sour, sour, supyo!Yokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko13rank/position
It’s an essential item for bento, something you want to take a bite of, and just thinking about it makes your mouth water.
You might want to say “an apple!”, but the correct answer is umeboshi (pickled plum)! This is a very cute song about umeboshi.
You can really feel the love for it—sour but delicious.
during winterYokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko14rank/position
It’s a song that asks things like fans and wind chimes, which we don’t use during winter, “What are you doing? Are you sleeping?” The childlike idea of “I’m sure they’re having dreams like this!” is so cute, it makes you want to listen to it over and over.
It would also be fun to make a parody version using things you actually have at home!
A Round WorldYokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko15rank/position
A very gentle song that resonates even with adults.
In this song, the moon gives a gift to a crying boy, easing his sadness and turning it into a joyful time.
It seems even tears can turn into candy, so the tears you shed become sweet memories!
Magic ShoesYokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko16rank/position
When you want to play with everyone but can’t bring yourself to speak up, or when you want to talk to a child who’s crying but feel unsure, the magic shoes give you courage.
Even adults can feel hesitant about approaching unfamiliar children or those who are crying, right? If your child is having a hard time, it might help to cast a little magic on the shoes they’re wearing—just like in this song!
Laughing GhostYokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko17rank/position
I think one of the things children aren’t good with is ghosts.
Many kids get scared, right? But in “The Laughing Ghost,” those ghosts are sung about in a comical, cute way.
Children are afraid of ghosts, yet they’ve never seen one.
This song charmingly explores their questions about these unseen ghosts.
It makes you want to tickle a ghost and try to make it laugh, doesn’t it?
Shake Shake Genki!Yokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko18rank/position
It’s a lively, energetic song that’s very typical of “Okaasan to Issho.” The dance where you swing your arms to the “Shake, shake!!” vocals is really cute.
If you play it for a fussy child, it might cheer them up and get them dancing happily.
Age-age donutsHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko19rank/position
The November 2020 Song of the Month, “Ageage Donuts.” It’s a track featuring sweet, delicious donuts that kids often request at snack time.
If you’re crying, a donut comes to comfort you; whenever you see something round, it reminds you of donuts—these cute lyrics make donuts feel even more familiar.
Listening to this song will make you crave donuts, so be sure to pick some up before you listen with your child (lol)!
Morning Pella!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko20rank/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.
