HoneyWorks' Best and Most Popular Songs (1–10)
First Love Is a Guaranteed Loss! feat. Marinai Arisu (CV: Reina Ueda)NEW!HONEY WORKS
This work, which depicts a sweet and bittersweet story of a responsible class rep falling in love, is a song by the popular creator unit HoneyWorks.
Released on February 28, 2026, it’s a standout number that brightens their hit project “Confession Executive Committee ~New Series~”! The vocals are performed by voice actress Reina Ueda.
Her clear, translucent voice conveys the kind of love that defies logic in a down-to-earth way that really resonates.
Having won the Silver Award at the 2024 JASRAC Awards, HoneyWorks once again delivers a catchy youth anthem that has consistently captured the hearts of young listeners.
It’s the perfect track for anyone who, while puzzled by the beginning of love, wants to fully immerse themselves in that feeling.
You’ll surely relate to the adorable side that earnest, serious people show in unguarded moments!
I was supposed to hate you. feat. Kotaro Enomoto & Hina SetoguchiHONEY WORKS
This song is a poignant duet that portrays the relationship between childhood friends Kotaro and Hina, included on the album “Sukisugite Yabai.
~Confession Executive Committee Character Song Collection~,” released on January 15, 2020.
The vocal range isn’t very high, so both men and women should be able to sing it comfortably.
For women who are good at lower registers, the male part should fit nicely! The song alternates between male and female vocals throughout, and there aren’t any harmonized sections that might cause you to drift off.
Since it’s always the main melody on both sides, once you memorize the tune, you can sing with confidence.
Heroine Training Project feat. Hiyori SuzumiHONEY WORKS
Included in the album “Sukisugite Yabai.
~Confession Executive Committee Character Song Collection~,” it was also used as a special ending for the TV anime “To Become a Real Heroine! The Unpopular Girl and the Secret Job.” The story depicts the character Hiyori Suzumi getting caught up with the idol duo LIP×LIP while searching for her own path as a “heroine.” On JOYSOUND, there’s a Vocal Assist feature, so using it well should make singing more fun.
The rhythm has many cut-off points, so try singing without rushing.
Let Love Begin Now. feat. Azuki MochizukiHONEY WORKS
A song performed by Azuki Mochizuki, a character from Confession Executive Committee ~New Series~, featuring lyrics that portray the pain and inner conflict of unrequited love, as if signaling the end of a first love.
It was released for streaming around August 29, 2025, and a performance video by Azuki Mochizuki has also been published—an important track in the new series! The overall vocal range is G3–E5, which seems high, but the average pitch is around G4, making it a comfortable range to sing.
If you sing relaxed, your body won’t tense up and you’ll be able to produce sound with ease.
Keep your facial muscles lifted the whole time, and aim for a light vocal delivery.
Tokyo Summer Session feat. Yuu Setoguchi, Natsuki Enomoto, Sota Mochizuki, Akari Hayasaka, Haruki Serizawa, Mio GodaHONEY WORKS
A refreshing love song with a summer theme.
Popular voice actors like Hiroshi Kamiya and Haruka Tomatsu perform it, and a music video has been released.
As a character song from the Confession Executive Committee series, it’s gained popularity and has been played on sites like Niconico.
Its summery, pop sound and lyrics that depict the relationships between the characters are appealing, making it a fun, rhythm-driven track.
There are six characters, but you can sing it solo without overlapping parts.
If you enjoy harmonies, singing it with several people is a great option too! For lines with rising intonation or spoken-style parts, don’t be shy—deliver them clearly!
Love-SicknessHONEY WORKS
This is one of HoneyWorks’ signature songs, a popular Vocaloid track featuring GUMI on vocals.
It expresses the feelings of a girl whose love—her “I like you”—feels too heavy to carry alone; she wishes to become more than friends, but things just don’t go smoothly.
The melody rises into higher notes toward the latter half of the chorus, and the key is to sing without straining.
If you practice humming, you’ll be able to sing more lightly with steady breath! Try taking in plenty of air through your mouth and imagine resonating above the top of your head.
I’ll fall in love now.HONEY WORKS
It’s one of the songs from the Confession Executive Committee ~Love Series~.
It leads into “Confession Rival Declaration,” and it’s truly heartbreaking.
Continuing to love someone who’s in love with another girl must be really hard and painful.
Thinking about the protagonist’s feelings brings me to tears.
Answer of JealousyHONEY WORKS
A song and novel series from the Confession Executive Committee: Love Series featuring the characters Sota Mochizuki and Akari Hayasaka as the main focus.
It tells the story of Sota’s unrequited love for Akari and the frustrating journey until Akari realizes her own feelings.
The novel was published as the second installment of the Confession Rehearsal series, and it also tells the story of the main characters from Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart., which was adapted into an anime.
Although it’s a male vocal song, the key is relatively high, making it quite easy for women to sing as well.
If you make good use of falsetto while singing, you can maintain a relaxed state and produce your voice more comfortably.
RomeoHONEY WORKS
This is the debut song of the popular idol duo LIP×LIP.
It was featured as an insert song in the 2016 film “The Moment You Fall in Love,” later used in the anime “To Become a Real Heroine!,” and became a signature track that gained popularity as a prince-like idol song and was even novelized.
Its hallmark is the uplifting chorus that’s characteristic of idol songs! In the early, faster part of the A-melody, the key is to sing in a matter-of-fact, understated way, and when it transitions to the chorus, it suddenly turns bright—so lift your facial muscles to create clear contrast! For the rapid-fire lines in the chorus, unlike the A-melody, try to let the lyrics ride the melody and sing them smoothly.
Sorry for Being Cute feat. ChuutanHONEY WORKS
Released in November 2022, it became a massive hit—sparked especially by user-generated content on TikTok—and surpassed 100 million views on YouTube.
Characterized by anti-heroine-style lyrics and an addictive sound, it went viral on social media and even received a manga adaptation, earning support from a wide audience.
In fact, it was a song my student kept singing during vocal training.
The range is slightly on the higher side, and they struggled with “the beginning of the chorus being high,” but once they focused on singing with momentum, it started to feel easier.
Pay attention to accents and sing with high energy!
