Atsuko Ono’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.
Your ColorHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko2rank/position
The song “Kimi-Iro,” which aired on Okaasan to Issho in February 2020, is themed around the word “color,” using many colors as a metaphor for each person’s individuality.
It has a very cheerful tone—fun to listen to and excitement-inducing.
And of course, since the lyrics feature many colors, it’s sure to lift children’s spirits as well.
Just like the title suggests, it would be wonderful if this song helps you discover your own “Kimi-Iro”—your special color!
Song of CourageOno Atsuko3rank/position
It’s a song that gently yet powerfully encourages children as they leap into a new world.
Created as the theme song for the movie Shimajiro: “Shimajiro to Yuuki no Uta,” released in March 2025, “Yuuki no Uta” is a track filled with the importance of trusting your friends and the courage to take a step forward.
The vocalist is Atsuko Ono, beloved by many parents and children from NHK E-Tele’s “Okaasan to Issho.” She drew attention for not only singing the song but also making her first attempt at voice acting in the film.
Just as the audience joins together in song during a scene in the movie, the melody is designed to make it easy for everyone to sing along.
As a pep song to blow away anxious feelings, it’s recommended for teachers and children to sing together at entrance ceremonies and advancement gatherings!
Watch the CarnivalYokoyama Daisuke / Ono Atsuko4rank/position
Let me introduce “Miteté Carnival,” a song that’s so fun it lifts your spirits just by listening! It aired in June 2024 on NHK’s “Okaasan to Issho.” The lyrics and music are by Takumi Murata, who is also the leader of the rock band “Carnavacation.” He creates music that fuses Brazilian sounds with pop, and he works on many songs for children as well.
For example, he wrote the September 2023 monthly song “Ninjin Engine Rocket” and the exercise song “Kao Taisou.” Through his music, Murata hopes to make the world as joyful as a carnival.
Be sure to sing along with your kids and make every day a little more fun!
One step, two steps, a walkHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko5rank/position
It’s a very catchy song that sings, “Go outside, take a walk, and find what you love!” The rhythm is perfect for a walking pace, and the bright, uplifting lyrics are great.
It makes you want to hum along while taking a stroll.
This is a bit of an aside, but the track aired as the song of April 2021 and became a hot topic online at the time.
The songwriting credit was listed as Edamame-ns, and rumors spread that it might be an alias of the music group GReeeeN, based on the style, melody, and overall feel of the lyrics.
Mirai KurukuruHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko6rank/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!
YukifururunOno Atsuko, Hanada Yuuichirou7rank/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.
It will be sunny tomorrow.Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko8rank/position
This song, whose lyrics capture a bursting smile, features a bright melody that resonates in the heart.
It’s performed on NHK’s popular program “Okaasan to Issho,” so it’s well known among children.
The harmony between Yuuichirou Hanada and Atsuko Ono is wonderful, and just listening to it gives you energy.
It carries the message that even when you feel sad, you’ll be okay if you think of your friends, so I believe it’s a song that can stay close to children’s hearts.
It’s perfect for recitals and events, and it’s also a song you can sing and dance to in everyday childcare settings!
Help! Oyoyo ManHanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko9rank/position
This is the song of Oyoyoman, who comes to the rescue when you’re in trouble! When your room is a mess after playing, or when you’re too tired to walk anymore, Oyoyoman shows up and—like magic!—helps you tidy up or gives you a burst of energy.
It’s a fun song with an Arabian-style melody that sticks in your ears.
Whether it’s tidying toys your child doesn’t want to clean up or going out for a long time, this song might help switch their mood.
It’s a tune we hope parents and kids will sing together at the top of their lungs.
One idea is for the parent to get into character as Oyoyoman!
One, two, three!Hanada Yuuichirou, Ono Atsuko10rank/position
This is the July 2019 song “One-Two-Three!” The composer is Osamu Sakata, who served as the 7th “Uta no Onii-san” on Okaasan to Issho, and the lyricist is his daughter, Megumi Sakata, who is also a children’s song singer—making it a parent–child collaboration.
It’s also a message song that serves as a cheer for children: capturing animals as they hop and leap, and encouraging everyone to do their best and jump together.
