Sukicchu-no! feat. Chuutan (CV: Saori Hayami) / HoneyWorks

When it comes to character songs sung by Chu-tan, a character from HoneyWorks’ wildly popular creator unit project “Confession Executive Committee,” many people might think of “Kawaikute Gomen,” which exploded in popularity and became a meme.

But “Sukicchu no!” is also a beloved track by Chu-tan.

Like “Kawaikute Gomen,” it’s performed by voice actress Saori Hayami, and while it’s a cute pop song, its lyrics weave in the serious side of the social media era, offering a deeper exploration of Chu-tan’s character—something that leaves a strong impression.

The irresistibly catchy chorus is perfect for social media and guaranteed to hype up a karaoke session, and the melody line is very singable.

Still, be sure to sing it while empathizing with the protagonist’s feelings.
