CHiCO with HoneyWorks: A Triumphant Return and Dual Single Release!
After a temporary hiatus in 2023, CHiCO with HoneyWorks officially announced their re-start on August 6, 2025, marking their debut anniversary! To celebrate this exciting comeback, they dropped a double dose of music on October 29 with the simultaneous release of their 19th single, “Kusuguttai.”, and their 20th single, “Senjou no Hana”.
Sweet Romance and Powerful Rock: New Singles Overview
The 19th single, “Kusuguttai.”, serves as the opening theme for the TV anime Kimi to Koete Koi ni Naru. It’s an adorable pop tune that beautifully captures the bittersweet essence of young love. On the flip side, the 20th single, “Senjou no Hana”, is the opening theme for the TV anime Saigo ni Hitotsu Dake Onegai Shitemo Yoroshii Deshou ka. This track delivers a powerful, straightforward rock sound, showcasing a completely different vibe.
Despite their contrasting worldviews, both singles are bursting with that unmistakable ChicoHani charm, captivating fans and drawing immense attention. Adding to the excitement, studio live footage for both tracks, which was previously available for a limited time, is set to be re-released on their YouTube channel starting October 31 at 9 PM JST.
TikTok Sensation and Sold-Out Tour Success
CHiCO with HoneyWorks is currently experiencing a massive surge in popularity, driven by their debut song, “Sekai wa Koi ni Ochite Iru”, which has gained renewed attention thanks to viral dance videos on TikTok. The track has soared to number one on the TikTok viral chart and ranked third on the overall music charts! This incredible wave of popularity led to their first post-re-start Zepp tour across Toukyou, Nagoya, and Oosaka selling out instantly upon general release – a testament to their devoted fanbase.
Looking Ahead: COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26 Appearance
The momentum doesn’t stop there! It was also announced today that CHiCO with HoneyWorks will be performing at COUNTDOWN JAPAN 25/26. This marks their return to a major music festival after approximately three years, and fans are eagerly anticipating their continued leap forward.
