lol gets busy on YouTube

Ahead of their upcoming album lightning, pop unit lol has been very busy on YouTube as of late. In the past month the group has dropped five videos on avex’s YouTube channel; three songs are brand new and two have Halloween dance videos of songs already released.

“Trigger” got a fun Halloween edition where the group dances as characters to the ever-popular shoujo anime Sailor Moon while the Halloween edition of their song “like that!!” has the group performing as zombies. On October 15 lol dropped the music video for their new song “#love_xxx” which is a really cute music video shot in first-person perspective. On October 29 lol again released a new music video, this time for “like that!! Pt. 2 feat. Sanari” which acts as a follow-up to their song “like that!!”. “like that!! Pt. 2 feat. Sanari” mostly resembles its predecessor but Sanari performs a rap for the first verse and Honoka raps the second verse. Lastly, on November 26 lol dropped their latest video, this time for “look up!!” which features the group acting like college students. The song serves to be an inspirational number.

All mentioned videos will be posted below so everyone can check them out for themselves, and if you are excited for lightning pre-order links will also be available below.
