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.

Shonentai – Not Coming Back Until Christmas (1990)

A hidden gem by Shonentai, the idol group that defined an era with their multifaceted talents in singing, dance, and acting, and left a profound impact on the generations that followed.

It’s the second track on the album “Heart to Heart 5years Shonentai… and 1991,” released in December 1990.

The title suggests a Christmas Eve ballad, but in fact it’s a rock tune with a striking guitar sound, featuring Kenjirō Sakiya as composer and Hiroshi Niikawa as arranger.

Rather than a glittering celebratory mood, the lyrics portray a relationship between a man and a woman that has gone cold, and that contrast is a major part of the song’s appeal.

It’s a perfect recommendation for anyone seeking a winter song that’s bittersweet yet passionate—something a little different from the standard Christmas fare.
