Browse piano sheets by HoneyWorks on Zen Virtual Piano. Shito describes HoneyWorks as “a team, I’d say”: the group puts effort into video as well as music, some members make illustrations and videos, and so everything from music to video can be finished within the team. Gom says that he used to sing on a video-posting site and shito played bass, and that they often met at live events; from there, as Gom began making songs in doujin activities and using Vocaloid, they talked about making original songs. A team that grew from a video site toward finished songs and pictures suggests a group that treats music as one part of a larger story. In Roland’s blog interview, shito says that after teaming with Gom he mentioned to Gom someone fairly good at guitar, Oji. Gom explains that the two composers, he and shito, usually build the main skeleton of a song, and then everyone refines their parts to complete it. Two composers drawing the outline before the others fill in their parts suggests a working method in which the song belongs to the team more than to any one person, with every member left room to add something of their own. Real Sound writes of a HoneyWorks album that it is built on the group’s pop band sound, with edgy elements such as EDM and trap blended in song by song, so that musical ingenuity and catchiness sit together. That album collects the ending theme 東京サニーパーティー for a TV anime, songs for characters such as 涼海ひより, and 可愛くてごめん and 同担☆拒否 for ちゅーたん, 東京スプリングセッション, the concluding instalment of the Session series, and songs by a widening range of other characters. Gom says that, given the sing-it and play-it videos on Niconico, he thinks that even the same song has its own merits when the person changes. Songs handed to different characters and voices can be read as a project built on the idea that a song changes with the singer. At the 2024 JASRAC Awards, 可愛くてごめん received the silver prize. The song also won the grand prize in the Top UGC Music (2022) category of the Independent Artist Awards by TuneCore Japan, as 可愛くてごめん (feat. かぴ).
