Works

Many of their most popular songs were done with Vocaloid, but their newer songs typically feature human singers with an alternate cover with Vocaloid. One of their most frequent collaborations is with CHiCO under the unit CHiCO with HoneyWorks. Together, they have put out several albums and singles, some of which were used as the theme songs for various anime and live action projects.

Trivia

• Their group name is sometimes represented numerically as 828 which can be read as Ha-Ni-Wa through goroawase wordplay. As such, the number is fairly important for HoneyWorks products. For example, rewards in HoneyWorks Premium Live were given out when the game received 828,000 pre-registrations.
• Their text signature (┏|∵|┛) represents a Haniwa clay figure, which was the inspiration for their name and old logo.
