We know that vocaloids are quite successful with their songs and fan arts. But did you know that these songs were able to create even 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 a connection began to form between them.

Who is HoneyWorks?
Before proceeding to talk about the confession executive committee, we need to understand a little about HoneyWorks. Perhaps this name is familiar to you, as this musical group was responsible for songs from animes such as:
- Sekai Wa Koi Ni Ochiteiru – Ao Haru 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 gained fame for its vocaloid songs, compositions, and illustrations, the group does a great job in collaboration with real voice groups like CHICO, who 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.
The love series – Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai
The love series of the Confession Executive 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 throughout 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 series of songs from the Confession Executive Committee expands each year with various singles and albums. Even Light Novels and smartphone games have been released based on this series of songs.
Animes from the Confession Executive Committee
In 2016, 2 animated films were released based on the love series of Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai (or Confession Executive Committee):
- Zutto Mae Kara Suki Deshita – I’ve 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 ended up going unnoticed that season. It was named 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, which I found quite moving. It is not necessary to watch the films before watching the anime.
I strongly recommend watching this anime that is filled with drama and romance. The stories of the films may seem a bit cliché, but they are enjoyable to watch and recommended for those who like romance. Perhaps in the future, new films or animations based on this series will appear.
You don’t have to be limited to just the songs of this series. If you look at all the songs from HoneyWorks and their collaborations, you will notice a certain similarity. The music videos 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 Confession Executive Committee? Have you watched the films and the anime? What did you think? I hope you enjoyed this article; we also recommend reading:
