Honeycreeper is an album by Japanese pop band PUFFY that was released on September 26, 2007 in Japan. The album is notable for being the first Puffy album where "band Godfather", Andy Sturmer, is not credited for writing any of the songs.

"Hasan Jauze" is a cover of a song by The Cro-Magnons, which was released within two weeks' time of the original.

Production and legacy

Puffy have said in an interview that inspiration for the album's title name, 'Honeycreeper', came from a leaflet they had come across while on a vacation in Hawaii, and that it was the name for a type of bird, similar to the ones seen on the album's cover.

Kazuya Yoshii, the writer of "Kuchibiru Motion", recorded a cover of "Oriental Diamond" for his 2009 single "Biru Mania". ^[1]
