Kokuhaku Jikkou Iinkai is a series that HoneyWorks initially created for Vocaloid songs. Various seiyuu later joined the project to voice the characters depicted in the music videos, which were uploaded to Niconico and YouTube. The music videos have 100 million cumulative views on both platforms. A light novel series, Kokuhaku Yokou Renshuu, featuring the characters has also been published since February 2014.
