Her last original work with S1 was released in January 2008, but she continues to make films with Premium.Honoka's AV career has been quite conservative, she has worked for studios which specialize in softer, more glamour-oriented types of pornography, and she has never ventured into the more extreme genres of Japanese porn. She is a very popular actress in Japan and in the DMM list of the top 100 actresses by sales, she placed 2 in 2006 and 3 in 2007.
Honoka was part of the S1 compilation video Hyper – Barely There Mosaic (ハイパーギリギリモザイク) with AV idols Sora Aoi, Yua Aida, Yuma Asami, Maria Ozawa and Rin Aoki which won the 2006 AV Open competition among Japanese porn studios.
