Honne to Tatemae

 (本音と建前; Intention and Action) is the 24th single of Sexy Zone. It through Top J Records.

Background
The title song was written by Sheena Ringo and will be featured as the theme song for the KTV and Fuji TV drama "Our Fake Marriage" (ウソ婚 Usokon) starring Kikuchi Fuma. It will air at 11 pm every Tuesday starting July 11.

This collaboration was realized by both Sexy Zone and the drama side making a passionate offer to Shiina. The theme song "Honne to Tatemae", written by Shiina based on the original manga and script of the drama, fully conveys the theme of the drama, "a sweet and sour adult love story that begins with a lie". It is a song that brought out the charm of Sexy Zone like never been seen before.

Recording
Sexy Zone met Sheena for the first time during the recording session. Even though they were nervous, they finished the recording happily according to Sheena's careful direction. The completed song has an addictive finish that makes the listeners want to listen to it again and again with the chemistry of each member's unique singing voice and the memorable melody.

Kikuchi, who was provided with the theme song for the starring drama, said, "It's like a dream, and it's true that I haven't really felt it yet. I didn't expect Sheena Ringo to be present during the recording. I hadn't even seen it, so I was really surprised when I heard about it in advance." He compared it to the title and revealed his true intentions, saying, "When I first heard the completed song, I got goosebumps and my knees laughed" he recalled.
