Shonentai’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026]
This is a ranking of popular songs by Shonentai, a three-member idol group from Johnny’s that was active in the 1980s.
Since releasing a single in 2006, they have not put out any new songs, and because their starring musical “PLAYZONE” was passed on to their juniors from 2008 onward, they are not currently active under the Shonentai name.
However, the group still exists.
