Executive confession committee - Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai

Otaku

Per Kevin

We know that vocaloids are quite successful with their songs and fan arts. But did you know that these songs have even been able to create 2 animated films and a TV anime? Today we will talk about the Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai, its series of songs, and its romance animations that are of great quality.

The Kokuhaku Jikkō Iinkai - Renai series is a series of songs by the vocaloid group HoneyWorks. The first song was distributed by Nico Nico Douga with a music video sung by the vocaloid Gumi on November 18, 2011. At first, it seemed like just random songs, but soon it started creating a connection between them.

Who is HoneyWorks?

Before moving on to talk about the executive confession committee, we need to understand a little bit about HoneyWorks. Perhaps this name is familiar to you, as this musical group was responsible for anime songs such as:

  • The World is Falling in Love - Blue Spring Ride
  • Kyou Mo Sakura Mau Akatsuki Ni - Gintama
  • Beloved X Survival – Brothers Conflict
  • Nostalgic Rainfall – Koi wa Ameagari no You ni
  • Kotoba No Iranai Yakusoku - Naruto

Although HoneyWorks has gained fame for its voicaloid songs, compositions and illustrations, the group does a great job together with real voice groups like CHICO that is present in almost all the songs mentioned above. I myself only knew HoneyWorks with CHICO and didn't even know they worked with Vocaloid.

A série de amor - Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai

The love series of the Confeição Executiva Committee tells the story of 6 students who are in their third year of high school. Thus totaling 3 main couples and some secondary love stories that can be perceived during the songs and animations.

  • Natsuki Enomoto and Yuu Setoguchi;
  • Sota Mochizuki and Akari Hayasaka;
  • Miou Aida and Haruki Serizawa;

This series of songs shows how difficult it is to confess your love and how conflicts and problems can arise because of it. The Confession Executive Committee song series expands each year with numerous singles and albums. Even Light Novel and smartphone games this music series received.

Animes of the Confession Executive Committee

In 2016, 2 Japanese animated films based on the love series by Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai (or Executive Committee of Confession) were released:

  • Zutto Mae Kara Suki Deshita - I always liked you;
  • Suki ni Naru Sono Shunkan – The moment you fall in love;

On November 24, 2017, a 6-episode anime was released that went unnoticed during the season. It was called Itsu Datte Bokura no Koi wa 10 Senchi Datta, which translates to "Our love has always been 10 cents away."

The first film focuses on the love story of Natsuki Enomoto and Yuu Setoguchi. The second film focuses on other couples and Natsuki's younger brother. The 6-episode anime tells the romance of Miou Aida and Haruki Serizawa that I found very exciting. It is not necessary to watch the movies before watching the anime.

I strongly recommend watching this anime that is filled with drama and romance. Movie stories may seem a bit cliché, but it's a pleasure to watch and recommended for those who like romance. Maybe in the future new movies or animations based on this series will appear.

You don't have to get stuck on just the songs from that series. If you look at all of HoneyWorks' songs and their work together, you'll notice a certain similarity. Video clips manage to tell the story along with the music. most of them are a beautiful love story.

This is not the first time a vocaloid has created series of songs with a story. Have you heard of Story of Evil? Did you know about the Comité Exécutif de Confession? Have you watched the movies and the anime? What did you think? I hope you enjoyed this article, we recommend reading as well:
