The band formed in 2014 when vocalist-guitarist Honoka Takahashi met drummer Yukiyama while in high school. The girls performed at small shows and festivals at the time before gaining a small following after winning second place for their music at the 2015 Mikakunin Festival competition for teen rock bands. They competed against more than 3,000 other bands for this award, and had their music judged by a panel that included notable musicians Junji Ishiwatari from Supercar and Toru Hidaka from BEAT CRUSADERS. Bassist Umi, who played supporting bass since 2017, officially joined the band in 2018.
Regal Lily quickly gained fame with their unique sound and shy stage presence. They performed at SXSW in 2019 for the official Japan Nite showcase, attracting many international fans. They have continued gaining fame since then, with some of their songs appearing in Japanese media. Their single "ハナヒカリ" ("Hanahikari") was featured in the "Flowers of Evil" (orig. 惡の華/Aku no Hana) live-action movie, released in 2019. The music video for their February 2020 song "ハンシー" ("Hansie") featured up-and-coming actress Sakurako Konishi, and was chosen as a commercial jingle for the Bank of Iwate on April 2020.

ムスタング
リーガルリリー Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
もともとはそんな風景画
絵筆を使い書き足す未来
僕らが世界を汚す
彩りのない あまりに淡い
意識にはそんな情景が
忘れられない いつかの誓い
それすら途絶えて消える
強かに日々を流す
君は誰だい
ガリレオ・ガリレイ?
誰も描けない風景画
何が正しい 何が悲しい
僕らが世界を汚す
偽りはない 虚飾などない
そんな冗談は言うまいが
誰にも言えない いつかの誓い
それだけが僕の誇り
鮮やかな君の面影も僕は見失うかな
窓を叩くような泣き虫の
梅雨空が日々を流す
嗚呼... なくす何かを
ほら 喪失は今にも
口を開けて僕を飲み込んで
浜辺で波がさらった貝殻
海の底には
想いが降り積もっている
偽りはない 虚飾などない
もともとはそんな風景画
忘れられない 君との誓い
それだけが僕の誇り
心映すような五月雨も
いつかは泣き止むかな
頬を撫でるような霧雨が
強かに日々を流す
The lyrics of ムスタング by リーガルリリー talks about the truth and reality without any ornaments or pretenses. The song describes a landscape painting that is originally like that, but the future can be drawn in using a brush. The painting of the world becomes polluted by our own selves. The consciousness lacks colors and fades away. The promise made in the past cannot be forgotten and is now gone. The misty rain touching the cheeks is a reminder of the daily struggles that we face.
The song questions who we truly are and whether we are like the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei who had his own unique perspective on life. The painting of the world becomes plagued with pollution caused by our actions. There are no lies or pretenses, but there are promises that we can't keep. The memories of vibrant colors and the person we once knew will eventually fade into the background of our memories. The crying rain that hits the window reflects the struggles of everyday life. The song ends with the idea that significant experiences and emotions can accumulate and cause a significant impact, even if they seem small at the surface.
