The bit character in this last picture is a cameo of Matsuda-sensei from Eriko. The high-rise building depicted in this episode is Tōhō Seimei Building (now renamed to Shibuya Cross Tower); it had been the tallest building in Shibuya until 2012, when the Shibuya Hikarie was completed. The fancy (French) restaurant Kyōko visits was on the highest (32nd) floor. It was named La Rochelle, and closed on September 30, 2011.

This is a fun episode. Enjoy! Maybe we’ll add some info here about the mystic “song” (not right now, to avoid spoilers).
It was released around 1:00 UTC on November 12, 2023. The official release date for reference (the topic update in #honobono on IRC): 2023-11-12T19:45 UTC.
Released via honobono.edwardk.info and on irc.aniverse.com on August 26, 2023; via TT/Nyaa on August 28, 2023. The official release date: August 30, 2023 (11:16 UTC)
The park depicted in this episode is based on Nabeshima Shōtō Kōen, Shibuya, Tōkyō.
Note: While the sign in the picture above reads “Shibuya City,” Shibuya is technically a ward (ku) rather than a city (shi), meaning it is one of the 23 special districts of central Tokyo. Tokyo also has quite a few cities in its suburbs, though. For example, Kazetachi City (fictional) from Hime-chan’s Ribbon is based on Kunitachi City, Tokyo (really existing).
Official release date: July 16, 2023. (The file was already available on July 15, but only on EdK.)
Note: In the preview at the end of Episode 12, it is said that the title of the next episode will be: Arguing with the Angel ☆ Pyupyu Runs Away. But we have changed that to: Arguing with an Angel ☆ Pyupyu Runs Away.
REPARD (Le[o]pard), a classical music café depicted in this episode, is based on a real such café, Lion (RAION), existing in Shibuya since 1926. Ja.wikipedia has an article about Meikyoku Kissa Lion. The following picture shows REPARD (left) and Lion (photo by 遡雨祈胡).
The café is only referred to as mise (“shop”) in this episode, not actually called kissa (“café”), let alone meikyoku kissa (lit. “music masterpiece café” i.e. “classical music café”). Nevertheless, we let the Master say “my classical music café” in our translation when originally he just says kono mise (“this shop”), since this fact is rather obvious for the original audience. Similarly, we paraphrased the lines related to jiage-ya (“land shark”) to clarify the original implication. If you want to see the exact original lines, you can switch subtitle tracks to Japanese.

Karasawa in Eriko (above) and Katsuragi in Yōko
(Katsuragi in Eriko was Karasawa’s co-worker; maybe they got married and Karasawa’s surname changed?)
