Legal Lily is a girls’ band formed in 2014.

They quickly drew attention, including taking second place at the 2015 Mikakunin Festival.

Are you familiar with the commercial for BAR Pomum, the alcoholic beverage from Suntory that lets you savor the fruit flavors at leisure? Lively drinking parties are fun, but it’s a lovely ad that makes you think it might be nice to drink quietly once in a while.

The tagline, “Tonight, I want to drink quietly,” also feels very natural.

The background music is “Chronostasis” by KANA-BOON’s Maguro Taniguchi.

The lyrics, which link the phenomenon of a clock’s hand seeming to stop with romance, are like a kind of love letter and are truly wonderful.

White Out

Here’s Regal Lily’s winter song “White out,” beloved for its nostalgic atmosphere.

The simple lyrics, which conjure a pure white snowy landscape before your eyes, are delivered dramatically by vocalist Honoka Takahashi’s delicate, ephemeral voice, and the straightforward performance that carries it really touches the heart.

It’s a song that accompanies the quiet winter air and feelings of loneliness.

Eddie in Summer

Let me introduce a song that awakens that unique mix of excitement and wistfulness at the very moment summer begins.

Featured on Regal Lily’s album “kirin,” released in August 2024, this track delicately depicts summer scenes and the subtle sway of the heart through Honoka Takahashi’s poetic lyrics and crystalline vocals.

It captures the fresh innocence of sensing the start of summer through details of a crush’s outfit, and trying to connect by sharing the music they love, all while expressing—over Regal Lily’s signature alternative sound—the brilliance of irreplaceable summer memories, as if “a single instant could last a lifetime.” The song was also performed at their 2025 summer solo concert “Summer Triangle,” captivating many in the audience.

It’s a perfect number for a summer drive or for quietly slipping into thought at dusk.

Legal Lily 'Heaven' _cover

The Iwate Bank commercial featuring Non uses Legal Lily’s song “Heaven.” It’s included on their 2021 EP, “the World.” Where is heaven in one’s life? Can I ever reach such a place? Considering my current situation, the state of society, and everything else, what truly is a heavenly, breathtaking view? The lyrics depict these philosophical questions.

Amid a driving rock sound, the song prompts you to reflect on your own life and the world you’re living in now.
