Shoujotai (少女隊) was a Japanese idol group from 1984 to 1989.

Members

Information

The group was formed in 1983 after Miho, Reiko, and Chiiko passed an audition. They released their first single a year later with the single FOREVER ~Gingham Check story~. They also released their first album, Shoujotai PHOON, the same year with the help of Pink Lady's and Yamaguchi Momoe's composer Tokura Shunichi. For the album, Tokura hired an all American band and put production in Los Angeles.

A year later in 1985, Chiiko would retired from the group after discovering that she had a spina; disc herniation. To replace her, the members would scout out Tomo to become the new member. Also, they would let Akimoto Yatsushi help with the group's promotion and started to write the group's lyrics. With his help, the group landed their first number one hit in 1986 with the single Motto Charleston.

With gaining popularity in Japan, Shoujotai would aim their eyes to Asia. Between 1986 and 1987, they had a Asian tour in Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. Also, they released the single Korea (Japanese Version) for the 1988 Olympics.

Sadly, the group disbanded in 1989 to let the members focus more on their solo careers. The original members of the group reunited ten years later to released the single, Forever, a updated version of their first single.
