***HoneyWorks 10th Anniversary “LIP×LIP FILM×LIVE”***, or simply just ***LIP×LIP FILM×LIVE***, is a double feature made in celebration of HoneyWorks's tenth anniversary as a musical circle. The event centers itself around the idol group LIP×LIP, a duo they produced, and their origins as performing idols.

## Development

The project was initially announced during HoneyWorks' annual 24 hour livestream on August 28, 2020. At first, the project's big announcements amounted to a feature-length movie, *Kono Sekai no Tanoshimikata ~Secret Story Film~,* but further information about the event was revealed on October 15, 2020. These announcements would include the aforementioned movie, including a release date, and a "virtual concert" portion that would come after the film. The event hit Japanese movie theaters starting on December 25, 2020, and had a four-week run.
On November 19, 2020, HoneyWorks confirmed that the project would be having collaborations with SHOWROOM's smash. app throughout November up to the premiere of the double feature. Previews of the movie and bonus content such as interviews and 3D motion capture shorts would be available exclusively on the service for a limited time, starting from November 20. The videos could only be viewed with a Premium smash. account.

## Film

*See* Kono Sekai no Tanoshimikata ~Secret Story Film~
The film is a prequel to the *Idol Series*, covering future Möbius Productions talents Yujiro Someya and Aizo Shibasaki as they come from unhappy backgrounds into the entertainment industry.
## Concert

The advertised virtual concert is a short, 4-song set. The concert is a fully 3D film, featuring 3D motion capture models of all participating idols. Songs featured in the concert are performed by LIP×LIP and the Virtual Johnny's Project idol duo ASCANA.
The lineup of the concert changes slightly over the four weeks of runtime, with ASCANA's token performance alternating between weeks. These variations would later be known as "Concert Parts A-D" after their initial runs.
