They also work with support members who play instruments such as guitar and assist with video production.

Their music portrays bittersweet love stories, so be sure to let your heart flutter with this playlist.

HoneyWorks' Best and Most Popular Songs (1–10)

I was supposed to hate you. feat. Kotaro Enomoto & Hina SetoguchiNEW!HONEY WORKS

I Was Supposed to Hate You. feat. Kotaro Enomoto & Hina Setoguchi (CV: Natsuki Hanae & Momo Asakura) / HoneyWorks

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.

Sorry for Being Cute feat. ChuutanNEW!HONEY 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!

Answer of JealousyNEW!HONEY WORKS

┗|∵|┓ The Answer of Jealousy / HoneyWorks feat. GUMI
Answer of JealousyNEW!HONEY 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.

Heroine Training Project feat. Hiyori SuzumiNEW!HONEY 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.

I Want to Be Cute feat. Seina NarumiNEW!HONEY WORKS

I Want to Be Cute feat. Seina NarumiNEW!HONEY WORKS

Included on the album “Kokuhaku Jikkō Iinkai: Ren’ai Series,” released February 22, 2017, the song portrays the feelings of a girl who wants the person she loves to notice her, weaving in elements like makeup, fashion, selfies, and chats with friends.

It’s sung by the character Sena Narumi, voiced by voice actress Sora Amamiya.

Overall, it has a mid-tempo, relaxed vibe that’s easy to sing; if you articulate each lyric carefully, it should be easier to convey emotion.

When doing a voice imitation, try lifting your facial muscles and eyebrows to produce an anime-style tone—you’ll get a cute voice! In the final chorus, the key changes and the range goes higher, so keeping your energy up will make it easier to hit the notes.

Tokyo Winter Session feat. Yuu Setoguchi, Natsuki Enomoto, Souta Mochizuki, Akari Hayasaka, Haruki Serizawa, Mio GoudaNEW!HONEY WORKS

HoneyWorks 'Tokyo Winter Session feat. Yu Setoguchi, Natsuki Enomoto, Sota Mochizuki, Akari Hayasaka, Haruki Serizawa, Mio Gouda (CV: Hiroshi Kamiya, Haruka Tomatsu, Yuki Kaji, Kana Asumi, Kenichi Suzumura, Aki Toyosaki)'}

It’s the ending theme of the TV anime “Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart,” and as a sequel to “Tokyo Summer Session,” it features a star-studded cast of voice actors including Hiroshi Kamiya, Haruka Tomatsu, and Yuki Kaji.

In addition to the title track, the CD also includes insert songs such as “Can You Hear Me?” and “A Gift Called Love meets Amatsuki,” showcasing winter love songs performed by popular characters from the Confession Executive Committee.

Compared to “Tokyo Summer Session,” the tempo is more relaxed and the vocal range is set to be easier to sing.

It’s a song where the characters take turns singing, and the chorus sparkles like an idol tune.

Be sure to sing it with a smile!

RomeoNEW!HONEY 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.
