Moonlight ReverseRīgaru Rirī
Released in August 2024 as a pre-release track from the album “kirin,” this song marks a major turning point for Regal Lily.
Having handled their own arrangements until now, the band worked for the first time with an external producer—Seiji Kameda—to create this love song.
While the chorus’s repeated, aching sentiments evoke a distance that feels farther than the moon, the straightforward emotions hit you squarely in the chest.
The sound, where fragility and passion coexist, will resonate not only with alternative rock fans but also with those who seek the lyricism of ballads.
In the music video, actress Hana Sugisaki stars, visualizing the heartache that resurfaces when looking at the moon.
Honoka Takahashi has said that the process changed how she engages with words, making this a work that signals the band’s next stage.

The lyrics depict a firm resolve to end a relationship and set out alone.
The faint sorrow that seeps through beneath that bold attitude is the part that tightens your chest.
The song was a lead single from the classic album First Love and became her first Oricon No.
