History Music / HoneyWorks

When they were first formed, [=HoneyWorks=] would primarily use Music/{{Vocaloid}} voicebanks[[note]]They favor GUMI and Music/HatsuneMiku the most, though they do use Kagamine Len and Rin and V Flower on occasion[[/note]] to fill in the vocals for their works, but nowadays the group has increasingly collaborated with other artists (such as [=CHiCO=], sana, and other utaite and idols) to do the singing. In fact, their major music group, [=CHiCO=] with [=HoneyWorks=], is often used for professional projects.

* TheScottishTrope: ''Premium Live'' can't exactly refer to any of the vocal synthesizer characters by name (even in the case of "Love and Hate", where the characters are simply called Miku, Len and Rin), so they only call them "the girl" or "the boy" when explaining their plots in the music video overviews. They sidestep this in cases where they're playing someone else (such as in "Taketori Overnight Sensation"). In the case of "Heroine Ikusei Keikaku", which uses characters from Johnny & Associates' Virtual Johnny's Project, the overview simply lists the borrowed characters similarly instead of by their actual names, although they weirdly get to keep their unit name ASCANA. The accompanying Talk Live also gets around it by having Hiyori (who actually knew Virtual Johnny's Asuka in every other continuity) [[HandWaved simply forget his name]].

** It's implied that the black haired boy of the TwoGuysAndAGirl friend trio in "The World's Best Friend" isn't in love with the girl of the group (which he explicitly says to the brown haired boy), but instead the other boy himself. He's also shown crying alone while his friends finally confess to each other.

* IdolSinger: Around 2017, [=HoneyWorks=] began to produce a ton of content for fictional idol singers. Their ''Idol Series'' in ''Confession Executive Committee'' features four groups ([=LIP×LIP=], mona, Minami, and Full [=Throttle4=]); they began with the ''Dolce'' group around the same time and started producing music for them in 2018; and finally, they have a hand in the Virtual Johnny's Project group ASCANA. They also composed songs for many real-life idols and pop singers as well, such as for utaite gone professional or for ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls''. 2021 saw to them producing a proper group, Karen na Ivory.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: "Holy Flag" stresses the importance of friendship, having the hero's adventuring party grow through benevolent actions and helping others out. When the hero reaches his darkest hour, the cloaked girl who he saved in the beginning of the video comes just in time to return the favor, and gives his party a full heal and the hero a needed boost to defeat their foe.

* TheVerse: As the years go on, we see that most of their [=PVs=] take place in the same universe, since many of the characters in the music videos show up in one way or another in the others. The characters from "A Promise That Doesn't Need Words" have the same uniforms as those from "Love's Scenario", the kids from "Love Chord" seem to go to the same middle school as the characters from the ''~Love Series~'', Haruki shows up in the backstory of "Promise", the white haired boy from "Cherry Blossoms" has the same necklace as the evil boy from "Love's Scenario", many of the high schoolers in the Honey Works discography take the same train, and Amaterasu and Joe sometimes cameo in works, too.

* {{Mascot}}: The panda Panmy (representing a girl) and white bear Kumamaru (representing a boy) with heart-shaped ears that make up their mascot duo were featured in the album cover of ''Rokugen Astrology'', and have popped up in many of their videos since. Most will probably recognize them from the "Suki Kirai" PV.

* ThePollyanna: "Fansa" follows Mona Narumi and her struggles while trying to make it as an idol. Despite being harassed online and bullied by her fellow idols, she continues to put on a smile for her fans and work hard to give back to them and her sister, who supports her every step of the way.

* UptownGirl: "Suiyoubi no Yakusoku" (Wednesday's Promise) follows the struggles of Midori Hamanaka's, an aspiring rock star and OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent with a late-night job serving beer at a bar, romance with Sena Harumi, a celebrity model. He describes her as being a world apart from him and being seen together would surely erupt in a scandal for them. But he still tries to make it work even if they can only speak to each other on Wednesdays at 11:00 p.m. and must meet in disguise to see each other in-person.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: "Love Chord" and "The World is Falling in Love" have two friends who are in love with the same boy. The black haired girl, Tsubomi, doesn't act on her feelings, so she just encourages the brown haired girl (Misaki) to go after the boy (Kaname). After Misaki finally finds out that Tsubomi was in love with him too, the situation is reversed a bit: it's implied that she lets her confess to him. [[spoiler: You can see that she's upset about something in "Love Chord" and suspiciously near the door to the rooftop, and in "The World is Falling in Love", the silhouette of a girl with slightly longer hair than Misaki is shown taking Kaname by the tie. The novels reveal that this isn't helping anyone, as Kaname is ''still'' in love with Misaki and isn't changing his mind at any point because of this kiss.]]
