A lingering glance. An awkward silence. A secret connection between two young women. Lilygirl is a new media project which casts models and idols as young women caught in between being friends a and lovers in a series of short films about the bittersweet days of youth.

Lilygirl is the creation of Kazuki Matsuda who was previously part of the Hana girl project and hanarichu. Erika Iida is the photographer for the project and the custom seifuku were designed by Hiroko Kamata (STATICE). Music is handled by TALK ABOUT.

Here is the commercial introducing the series.
