[1][6][8] In less than three weeks from the launch of the show, six members were caught in photos taken by a photographer of tabloid magazine Shūkan Bunshun while they were hanging out and smoking in a kissaten (Japanese-style café) near Fuji TV's old headquarters in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

One of the reasons why Takai and Iwai were selected for the subgroup was that their images matched the anime's two girl characters named Kawa Yui and Uru Chie.

Minayo Watanabe, Chiaki Mikami and Yuko Yajima, who all were runners-up of the audition, also became Onyanko Club members and were assigned numbers 29, 30 and 31, respectively.

Nakajima, who was graduating from high school in March, decided to retire from the music and entertainment industry and go to college for becoming a dental hygienist while Kawai would move on to pursue her solo career as a singer and later a singer-songwriter.

For the same reason, Harumi Tomikawa also was not allowed to appear on the TV show from January to May 1986 even though she was able to participate in the group's certain activities, such as photo shoots, recording sessions and concert performances.

It was named after Japanese word "jā ne (じゃあね)", which is a casual way of saying "goodbye", and was a farewell song to Nakajima, who was leaving the group in April.

On 1 April, which was the final date of the tour, Nakajima and Kawai concluded their activities as Onyanko Club members with three shows a day at Nippon Budokan.

However, Nitta objected to it, and as a result Tsugutoshi Goto, who was the composer and arranger of both songs, had to revise "Koi no Rope wo Hodokanaide" for making it suitable for the A-side.

On 25 May, a release event entitled "Satomi Invitation" for the single was held at Yomiuri Land EAST with a total of about 6,500 attendees, 1,500 of whom were lining up overnight for entry.

Nitta, Nagoya, Fukunaga and Yoshizawa would move on to pursue their solo careers as a singer and/or actress while Yamamoto decided to retire from the music and entertainment industry and finish college.

For the second tour, they subsequently performed in Hiroshima, Nagoya, Shizuoka, Fukuoka, Niigata, Fukui, Nagano, Sendai and Sapporo in August and in Tokyo in September.

Makiko Saito, Toshie Moriya and Naoko Takada, who all were runners-up of the audition, also became Onyanko Club members and were assigned numbers 42, 43 and 44, respectively.

On 25 and 26 September, which were the final dates of the tour, Nitta, Nagoya, Fukunaga, Yoshizawa and Yamamoto concluded their activities as Onyanko Club members with the group's concerts at Nippon Budokan.

In the meantime, television advertisements featuring Onyanko Club member number 40 Akiko Ikuina for Japanese convenience store Lawson's chicken nugget product "Karaage Kun" were premiered on-air on 8 December.

Kokusho, Utsumi and Takai would move on to pursue their solo careers while Kihara and Tatsumi decided to retire from the music and entertainment industry.

The album features songs in which newer members, such as Shizuka Kudo, Noriko Kaise and Makiko Saito, had solo vocal parts for the first time in the group's recordings, such as "Dare no Seikana" sung by Iwai, Kudo and Ikuina and "One-side Game" sung by Shiraishi, Ikuina, Kaise and Saito as front vocals.

On the same day, Onyanko Club member number 15 Rika Tatsumi's first and last solo single "Sonna Tsumorija Nakattanoni" was premiered on the show as well.

On 4 and 5 April, which were the final dates of the tour, Kihara, Kokusho, Utsumi, Tatsumi and Takai concluded their activities as Onyanko Club members with the group's concerts at Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Shibuya, Tokyo.

[1][3] Released by Canyon Records on 29 July, Yukiko Iwai's first solo album Yuuyu Kousen debuted at number one on the Oricon's LP chart.

[1] Members who had their solo singles and/or albums earlier and the subgroup Ushirogami Hikaretai continued to expand their activities with more music releases and media appearances.

On 21 November 1987, Onyanko Club member number 48 Kayo Agatsuma's first solo single "Private wa Dangerous" was released by CBS/Sony Records.

Onyanko Club B-Gumi member number 5 Mayumi Yamazaki's first solo single "Hitomi wo Mitsumete" was released by Polydor Records (Japan) on 1 April 1988.

14 members who participated in recording of the single were Nitta, Kihara, Kokusho, Nagoya, Utsumi, Tomikawa, Tatsumi, Jounouchi, Iwai, Shiraishi, Yokota, Minayo Watanabe, Yamamoto and Fukawa.

Eri Nitta (4), Mika Nagoya (9), Satomi Fukunaga (11), Akie Yoshizawa (25) and Kumiko "Susan" Yamamoto (32) graduated at the end of the tour.
