HinaBitter♪
HinaBitter♪ (ひなビタ♪), short for Hinatabi Bitter Sweets (日向美ビタースイーツ♪), is a media mix project that was first announced by KONAMI in November 2012. It is produced by BEMANI composer Tomosuke Funaki in association with FujimiShobo (富士見書房), an offbrand of Kadokawa Shoten established in 1991 that specializes in card games, anime, and manga.
Story
The main story of HinaBitter♪ consists of five girls that band together to save their hometown (Kuranogawa) that's struggling financially. The story is divided on Seasons.
Characters
According to TOMOSUKE, all the HinaBitter♪ girls are named after the lyrics in his song 凛として咲く花の如く. (Incidentally, a rearrangement of the song by tricot was used during the announcement of the series back in November 2012.)
Hinatabi Bitter Sweets
- Marika Yamagata (山形 まり花) - voiced by Rina Hidaka
- The central heroine of HinaBitter♪, Marika is the Saudade (サウダージ) music store owner's daughter, who's said to be good at improvising. She is an upbeat, cheerful girl. She's also childhood friends with Ibuki, her best friend. Her catch phrase is "I'm fine!" (大丈夫だよ). She plays the keyboard.
- Ibuki Izumi (nickname Eve) (和泉 一舞) - voiced by Minami Tsuda
- The Izumi couture (いずみ洋装店) clothing shop's daughter, she's a fashionable but easily irritated girl. Her blonde hair is dyed. She and Marika grew up together and are close friends, though she gets embarrassed when Marika calls her Eve (イブ). Ibuki has many hobbies, include dancing, sewing, karaoke, and home cooking. She plays bass.
- Sakiko Kasuga (春日 咲子) - voiced by Megumi Yamaguchi
- The daughter of the Chat Noir (シャノワール) Internet café's owner. She also occasionally works at Chat Noir, dressed as a maid. Usually a polite, soft-spoken girl, she has a deviant side that occasionally appears. She enjoys cooking (especially candy) in her free time, and enjoys watching anime, too. Despite her appearance, one of Sakiko's favorite music genres is metal. She plays the acoustic guitar.
- Meu Meu (nickname MeuMeu) (芽兎 めう) - voiced by Hiromi Igarashi
- The youngest of the girls, the energetic daughter of the Usagitsuki-do (兎月堂) seal shop owner loves putting "meu" at the end of her sentences. She also loves parfaits, specifically the Chikuwa parfait served at Chat Noir. There's even a song about her love for them, and her pop'n music sprite even features her running with them, one in each hand. In her spare time Meu likes to design outfits for cosplay and play rhythm games. She plays the drums.
- Rin Shimotsuki (霜月 凛) - voiced by Kaoru Mizuhara
- The oldest of the girls, she is the Shimotsuki Shorin (霜月書林) bookstore owner's daughter. She is a mature, quiet girl, almost always seen carrying a novel in her hands. She is a fast reader, and able to do arithmetic in her head as well. Rin attends a different school from the other girls. She plays the electric guitar.
Coconatsu
Coconatsu (ここなつ) are a rival unit of Hinatabi Bitter Sweets, introduced on Season 3. As opposed to the more rock/soft electronic music of their rivals, these girls are more into EDM/technopop/electronica. In recent times, though, Coconatsu have teamed up to perform with the Hinatabi Bitter Sweets group.
- Cocona Shinonome (東雲 心菜) - voiced by Ari Ozawa
- First year high school student who's into EDM and Natsuhi's twin sister. Shyer than her twin sister, with a softer voice to match. She wears glasses, but she takes them off when performing her idol duties. She has a fondness for unusual animals.
- Natsuhi Shinonome (東雲 夏陽) - voiced by Yuri Hinami
- First year high school student who's into technopop and electronica, and Cocona's twin sister. A professional idol performer along with her sister. She was initially very prideful about herself, but has since mellowed down. She refers to the Hinatabi Bitter Sweets group by the name "Chikuwa Band" (ちくわバンド).

Trivia
- None of the BEMANI game cuts of any of the HinaBitter♪ songs have to date appeared on a BEMANI OST.
- None of the HinaBitter♪ songs are keysounded in pop'n music, making them the series' first KONAMI originals with this distinction.
- Of the ten current BEMANI series, beatmania IIDX and ノスタルジア are the only BEMANI series that do not currently have any HinaBitter♪ songs in their songlist.
- Curiously, the Bitter Sweet Girls! album was listed at one point on the beatmania IIDX section of the KONAMISTYLE website, despite that none of their songs are currently in beatmania IIDX. This was later corrected and removed.
- Cocona and Natsuhi's eye and hair colors are likely references to the red/pink and blue analog trail colors in SOUND VOLTEX, as they originally debuted in that series.
- All of the HinaBitter♪ housoukyoku episodes feature BEMANI songs in the background as background music, many of them composed, arranged, or featuring TOMOSUKE (later episodes only feature HinaBitter♪ songs, though). Here they are in episode order:
