Celebrate the Release of CHiCO with HoneyWorks' First Best Album with JOYSOUND Karaoke Campaign!

On March 25, 2026, JOYSOUND, the popular karaoke service operated by Exciting Co., Ltd., launched a special campaign in celebration of the release of CHiCO with HoneyWorks' very first best album titled 'i BEST -Singles Collection-'. This campaign, designed to engage fans and promote the album, includes a chance to win exclusive original acrylic boards by singing CHiCO with HoneyWorks’ songs at participating karaoke venues.

In a significant turn of events, CHiCO with HoneyWorks, who went on a hiatus after their concert in April 2023, announced their return to activities in August 2025. The album boasts a theme of self-introduction, showcasing their journey and charm in a compact collection of singles that have resonated with fans. Through collaborations with JOYSOUND, fans can now sing and enjoy a variety of visual content, including music videos featuring special commentary from CHiCO herself.

The campaign is available at various karaoke establishments across Japan, particularly those equipped with JOYSOUND karaoke machines. Additionally, fans can also participate from the comfort of their homes using the 'Analytic Scoring JOYSOUND' karaoke app, which allows for comprehensive scoring assessments.

For those visiting karaoke venues, the latest machine model, 'JOYSOUND X1', can be used alongside the free app 'KyokuNavi JOYSOUND' to use smartphones as a remote. Participants can choose from challenge songs like 'STAY WITH YOU (CHiCO×Gom)', and will have the opportunity to win one of the 50 original acrylic boards from the campaign. Each day, participants can attempt the speed lottery displayed on their smartphones, and they can enter as many times as they wish throughout the campaign.

Home participants can sing challenge songs using the scoring mode. Once finished, they are encouraged to share their score on social media by tapping 'Share' on the scoring results page. By following JOYSOUND's official account on X (formerly Twitter) and including the hashtags #チコハニ and #分析採点JOYSOUND in their posts, they can join the run for a chance to win one of 10 exclusive acrylic boards.

Special Music Video Features

In addition to the exciting campaign, JOYSOUND is also showcasing a special digest video collection that features five carefully selected music videos from the album along with unique commentary from CHiCO herself. This special content, available through the 'Miru Hako' service at participating karaoke rooms until May 6, 2026, can be enjoyed free of charge (subject to room fees).
