"Honnō" is Japanese singer Ringo Sheena's 4th single and it was released on October 27, 1999 by Toshiba EMI / East World. The single was certified double platinum by the RIAJ for 800,000 copies shipped to stores, gold for 100,000 downloads to cellphones in 2011. Honnō is presently her best selling single; the music video and album art, which featured Sheena in a traditional nurse's dress and cap shattering a screen of glass, became a hot topic at its release. Sheena had planned to release Gips at this point. However, she reversed this decision, believing that the "freshness" of Gips had faded as she had promoted the song in her previous Japanese tour, she substituted it to much success. The song was used as a theme song for the music TV show Fun; the song was covered as a part of a medley by Rie Tomosaka on the television show The Yoru mo Hippare on September 9, 2000. Satoko Nishikawa of Shang Shang Typhoon covered it on her solo album Hibiki in 2006, by Dorlis on her greatest hits album Dorlis.

The B-sides "Aozora" and "Rinne Highlight" were used in TV commercials for Suntory's The Cocktail Bar Love Story, "Rinne Headlight" in 1999 and "Aozora" in 2000. All tracks are written by Ringo Sheena, arranged by Seiji Ringo Sheena.

On 11 October, their third single "Frequency" was released, alongside an accompanying music video containing footage from their Ark tour.

People who participated received. In Hearts Wake went on a 5-date tour in July to promote Ark, with supporting acts. After the release of the deluxe edition of Ark, the band went on a 3-date all ages tour to promote it in June.

Supporting them were Justice for the Damned and The Beautiful Monument. Frontman Jake Taylor on describing the album said: "The central concept of Ark is that the Earth is a ship where living creature – every animal, man and child – was born. Providing shelter, it has sustained and nurtured us with everything we’ve needed. If one part of the ship is compromised, all life is threatened. If we don’t work together to repair our home and restore its integrity, we will all go down with the ship."The album's genre has been described as metalcore. The album received mixed reviews. Heavy magazine in a positive review said: "its variation into other avenues that their musical counterparts have embraced does not fit with's character when the band ignites their impact is felt like a flood from an uncontrollable tidal surge." Wall of Sound gave the album an average review saying: "Ark, with it’s powerful first half that draws your attention to the band and the direction they could be heading, sadly drops the ball with the final act despite a few bangers that at times felt somewhat out of place surrounded by their neighbouring songs around them."

KillYourStereo gave it a negative review saying: "I don’t care for this record, neither should you. Why? Because this album exists. It’s called'Divination'. It’s called'Earthwalker'. It’s called'Skydancer'. So save your cash-monies and save the ever-dissipating currency, your time." Chris Tippell from Ghost Cult gave the album an 8-out-of-10 and said: "Not quite unseating others from their throne, In Hearts Wake have still shown that they are not to be overlooked, in future they should be included in the same bracket as many of their hailed peers." In a modest review, Sophie Maughan from Metal Hammer said: " aren't afraid to deviate from the musical blueprint they’ve consolidated across three albums." Track listings adapted from Spotify.
