HinaBitter♪

ひなビタ♪ logo.

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, which is suffering financially due to low tourism income and employment due to poor transportation. The story is written in diary-style, and each entry is divided roughly into 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.)

ここなつ logo.

Coconatsu (ここなつ) are a rival unit of Hinatabi Bitter Sweets, introduced in Season 3. As opposed to the rock/denpa music of their rivals, these girls are more into EDM/technopop/electronic. In recent times, though, Coconatsu have teamed up to perform with the Hinatabi Bitter Sweets group.

She wears glasses, but she takes them off when performing her idol duties. Cocona also has a fondness for unusual animals. She also really wants Natsushi to open up and make more friends as well. She works in the kitchen at a Chinese restaurant, RonRon (ロンロン), alongside her sister Natsushi.

She was initially very prideful about herself, but has since mellowed down; it's said that her flamboyant personality might be a front.
