What this is
HoneyWorks — the beloved J-pop unit known for anime tie-in songs and school romance themes — throws its annual fan festival with a Girls' School Cultural Festival Halloween Party twist for 2026. Hanifes is a dedicated live event series featuring HoneyWorks vocal units, and this year's lineup includes Hakonowa Lily, Karei na Ivory, and Takane no Nadeshiko performing at Shibuya LOVEZ. Merchandise tickets bundling a limited Halloween-logo T-shirt are available, making it a draw for collectors as much as concertgoers.
Who should go
HoneyWorks fans and followers of anime-adjacent J-pop who know the vocal units by name. Casual attendees unfamiliar with the group's extended universe will likely feel lost.
Good to know
Tickets are sold exclusively through the official HoneyWorks website lottery — foreign credit cards may not be accepted directly, so using a payment proxy or a Japanese prepaid card (such as Visa prepaid) is advisable. Shibuya LOVEZ is a smaller live venue in Shibuya, suited to intimate fan events; expect a standing floor layout with limited capacity, so arriving early after doors open is recommended. Convenience store ticket pickup (combini) at Lawson or FamilyMart is typically available for lottery winners and is the most practical option for visitors without a Japanese delivery address. Cash is generally safer to bring for merchandise purchases at the venue. The Halloween theme suggests cosplay may be welcome, though check the official site for any dress code guidance closer to the date.
