Morbid video by Regal Lily

 

 

To Westerners, this video by fresh-from-highschool-girl-band Regal Lily maybe a little too morbid, some may even call this sick but there you go: the Japanese have a kind of black humor that consists mainly of finding great entertainment value in people dying horrible deaths, especially when they are women and specifically when they are high school girls.

A car accident, in this case, with three fatalities, young girls who may not have been paying attention while staring at their mobile phones or maybe the driver was busy texting. Clues are scattered all over this video.

Late last year Regal Lily brought out a mini-album, The Post, and already they have a second album, The Radio, containing six fresh songs in the pop-rock genre. The music is not highly complicated and 19 year old singer/guitarist Honoka Takahashi sings in a voice that’s higher-pitched than she can afford, but it’s fun and pleasant and has a few moments that are pretty good.
