Onyanko Club broke up in 1987, though they had a brief reunion in 2002. Their influence is still felt in the idol world today, especially in groups such as モーニング娘。 and AKB48.

The song "おっとCHIKAN!" by the Japanese idol group おニャン子クラブ (Onyanko Club) is a playful and somewhat satirical commentary on the issue of chikan (sexual harassment) in Japan's crowded public transportation system. The lyrics describe a rush-hour train packed with passengers, including a dangerous-looking man with a milk bottle and glasses, and a schoolgirl who tricks a boy into pinching her for her own amusement. The chorus admonishes the man as a chikan and calls for everyone to join together in "eliminating" him, with a tongue-in-cheek emphasis on stress relief and luck. The second verse describes another schoolgirl who initially seems innocuous but turns out to be willing to stand up for herself and even express her romantic feelings through a love letter.
Overall, the tone of the song is lighthearted and exaggerated, highlighting the absurdity of the situation while still acknowledging the seriousness of the issue. The lyrics playfully suggest that the way to deal with chikan is not to be a victim, but to prank and ridicule the perpetrators. At the same time, the song's theme of unity and collective action implies that there is power in numbers and that by banding together, people can create change.
