What is the most moving experience you've ever had in your life?
I passed the audition for Honey's!
It had always been my dream to become a Honey's member, so when the announcement of my acceptance came, it took me a while to fully grasp the reality of it.

I'd love to know your repertoire of hairstyles!

◯What were your impressions on your first day of practice?
I was very nervous, but I remember feeling much more at ease because everyone's atmosphere was so cheerful!

[Honeys]
The team was formed in 1993, the year Fukuoka Dome (now MIZUHO PayPay Dome FUKUOKA) opened, and will be celebrating its 33rd anniversary in 2026. The team name "Honeys" comes from the team's official mascot, Honey Hawk.
Through a wide range of activities, including dance performances at the stadium, media appearances, PR activities through events, and various fan services, they aim to be a force that strengthens the bond between The Hawks and their fans.
In 2026, auditions were held in three locations: Fukuoka, Taipei (for the second time following last year's auditions), and Kumamoto (for the first time). Seven new members and eleven returning members (three of whom were from Taipei) were selected. The team is evolving to become more global and more deeply rooted in the local community.
