All Nighters

 (オールナイターズ) was a J-Pop idol group that originally lasted from 1983 to 1985. The group consisted of a rotational, all-female group of co-hosts/MCs of the Fuji TV program, All Night Fuji. Members were required to be enrolled in college, university, or another similar extended education program while they were active in the group. By the groups's disbandment in 1991, there had been over 250 members across four generations.

All first generation members left on March 31st, 1985 due to an official restructure of its parent television show. The group relaunched later that year with reduced musical activities and completely different lineup. Around 1986, the group started to transition away from only college students, and the guidelines to join became looser. Around 1988 is when the group stopped producing music completely, but still performed TV-hosting duties until All Night Fuji 's cancellation in 1991.

This group is notable for being the first large scale rotational idol unit in J-pop, as well as the first to include sub-units. Onyanko Club was also created using a slightly modified format of the All Nighters. Several early audition candidates for Onyanko Club were sourced from All Nighters.

 * Several idols and singers worked alongside the All Nighters as hosts on All Night Fuji, such as Tunnels, Akimoto Naomi, Matsumoto Iyo, Morio Yumi, Sagara Haruko, Ito Chieri and many more.
 * In June 1985, it was revealed that a member of the group, Shinozaki Chie (篠崎千恵), was actually a sex worker employed at a Kabukicho massage parlor, and not a current college student. She was quickly recognized by fans, and an investigation was launched by the network. When her true background was revealed she was quickly dismissed.
