HoneyWorks Atelier

**Date** | December 7, 2019 - January 19, 2020

The **HoneyWorks Atelier** (ハニワのアトリエ *Haniwa no Atorie*) project is a selection of activities that celebrates the tenth anniversary of HoneyWorks as a functioning music circle.

### Concert

Starting in Winter 2020, plans were made for a 10th anniversary concert, the *Sukisugite Yabai.* tour. While some of the earliest shows were able to have been performed, the COVID-19 epidemic and regulations to keep citizens safe eventually had these concerts postponed to later on in the year, with one showing converting to a paid Niconico livestream.
### Art Exhibit

The event's first major piece of content is the art exhibit of the same name, which also serves as HoneyWorks' first dedicated art exhibit in general. The original event was hosted by Asobuild, located on the third floor of Stamp Hall in Yokohama, Kanagawa prefecture, and ran from December 7, 2019 to January 19, 2020.
As the exhibition celebrates all parts of HoneyWorks' history, this art walk includes information about the group, its origins, and the concepts for many of the projects they contributed to told through exhibits and an introductory video. A wall featuring all of the projects they have in store for the 2020 year made an appearance near the end. In addition, the exhibit included illustrations from nearly every work HoneyWorks has contributed to. *Confession Executive Committee* content makes up a large portion of the content featured.
The exhibition hosted 6 live events planned throughout December and January: those of CHiCO with HoneyWorks and AkoHano/Kotoha&Hanon (12/22), Oji and AtsuyuK! (12/28), Honey Monster (1/04), and Keiki Uto, Leon Yuki, and Naoki Kobayashi (1/18) hosted mini concerts, while Yamako hosted a talk about her involvement in the illustrations and character designs on December 21.
The event included an exclusive screening of the music video for "Tokyo Autumn Session", which ran throughout the exhibit's time until the song's commercial and public debut on December 15, 2020.
### Music

Alongside the aforementioned "Tokyo Autumn Session" screening, the fifth album *Sukisugite Yabai. ~Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai Character Song Collection~* was announced for this project.
### Manga

A manga adaptation of "Watashi, Idol Sengen" was announced alongside the appearances of LIP×LIP, Mona Narumi, and Minami in the *Premium Live* concert. The manga was announced to release the first three chapters on Piccoma as a preview before its official start of serialization on January 15, 2020.
### Game

A rhythm game featuring a selection of HoneyWorks' discography, *HoneyWorks Premium Live*, was announced in December 2019. The game was planned for release on mobile, and features the official versions of all songs. For the *Confession Executive Committee* discography, all songs used only include the live singer versions. This game was eventually released on November 18, 2020, the ninth anniversary of "Hatsukoi no Ehon".
### Character Poll

HoneyWorks began a character poll to determine illustrations for the top 3 poll winners, as well as a new composition for the 1st place winner. The poll lasted from August 28, 2020 to September 28, 2020 at 16:00 JST. The results of the poll were given on HoneyWorks Day 2021, as one of the opening announcements to their annual 8/28 livestream.
### Other

A livestream concerning more information in this event occurred on December 23.
