Onyanko Club

Onyanko Club at Final Concert in 87

Onyanko Club (おニャン子クラブ) was a super idol group of the late 80s that debuted in 1985 with their single Sailor Fuku wo Nugasanaide. They were very popular and often times did things outside of music such as acting and had their own television show, Yuuyake Nyan Nyan. They also had many members throughout their musical career that totaled up to 52 members. Onyanko Club ended their career in late 1987 with a farewell concert. However in late 2002, they reunited and released one last single Shoumikigen.
