Onyanko Club

Onyanko Club at Final Concert (1987)

Onyanko Club (おニャン子クラブ) was a super idol group of the late 80s that debuted in 1985 with the 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.

After the group's initial breakup, several Onyanko Club members have since reunited many times. In 2002, various members reunited and released the single "Shoumikigen" and appeared on FNS Kayousei. In 2010, eleven members reunited to appear in commercials for the Boss drink company, singing the infamous "Sailor Fuku wo Nugasanaide".
