From Wikipedia:

"In Japan, honne are a person's true feelings and desires (本音, hon'ne, "true sound"), and tatemae are the behavior and opinions one displays in public (建前, tatemae, "built in front", "façade"). This distinction began to be made in the post-war era. Honne may be contrary to what is expected by society or what is required according to one's position and circumstances, and they are often kept hidden, except with one's closest friends."
