Shonentai 35th Anniversary Best is the second compilation album by Japanese idol group Shonentai. It was released on 12 December 2020, the day of their 35th anniversary, under ELOV-Label.

It is their first album release since 1999's studio album Prism and their first compilation album in 32 years. In November 2020, they've changed their visual profile image on their official website page for the first time in 12 years.[2]
The compilation album was released in two types: a regular edition and a limited edition, available only for the fanclub members. Both of the editions share the same track list on the Disc 1 and Disc 2.
