Ladies and gentlemen, listen to the angels!
"How do you do? This is Lyrical Lily's first step"
A DJ unit that formed when a group of private girls' academy students stumbled upon some music equipment. They're looking to expand their horizons through creating music. Their music genre consists of House and Synthpop.
    General 
  • Alliterative Name: Lyrical Lily. This is taken further with their transliterated name, which takes advantage of Japanese Ranguage to repeat two syllables: リリカルリリィ (ririkaru riri).
  • Childhood Friends: They all attended Arisugawa's elementary school program, and seem to have known each other since then. Esora also attended elementary school with them.
  • Color-Coded Characters: The unit as a whole is associated with pink.
    • Miyu: Light Pink
    • Haruna: Maroon
    • Kurumi: Beige
    • Miiko: Yellow
  • Four-Temperament Ensemble:
    • Kind and sensitive Miyu is Phlegmatic.
    • Straight-laced and practical Haruna is Melancholic.
    • Mischievous yet hardworking (when she needs to be) Kurumi is Choleric.
    • Cheerful and sociable Miiko is Sanguine.
  • Freudian Trio:
    • Id: Haruna, who is dedicated to her principles of discipline and order.
    • Ego: Kurumi and Miiko, who love playing pranks and lighthearted scares on others.
    • Superego: Miyu, the Nice Girl who does her best to politely reconcile matters between Haruna and the two troublemakers.
  • Lighter and Softer: They have by far the most light and feminine aesthetic of all the groups.
  • The Ojou: All of them, given all four are wealthy girls that go to a prestigious private school. However, only Haruna and Miyu fit the personality archetype.
  • Shout-Out: Many of their song titles are references to classical literature, such as "The Catcher in the Rhyme" (The Catcher in the Rye), "Snow Black" (Snow White), and "Barkley and the Chocolate Factory" (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). Some titles are outright lifted from such works, like "Sleeping Beauty"; this is generally reserved for works that are in the public domain (and therefore don't necessitate a copyright-circumventing substitute).
  • Sugar Bowl: Their songs are full of cute subjects such as cats, fairy tales, and innocent love.

"The voice of angels
Let’s go on a secret adventure"

A kind-hearted and thoughtful girl with good morals. She found some music equipment in her school's basement when cleaning with her friends, which started her DJ activities. Because of her parents, she's well-versed in oldies music.
  • Born Lucky: Things usually tend to go right for her, which Haruna chalks up to her kindness bringing good karma.
  • Cherry Blossom Girl: She has a strong cherry blossom motif to go with her pure and innocent personality. Her last name even has "sakura" in it.
  • Curtains Match the Window: She has pink eyes and pink hair.
  • Nice Girl: She's very kind and levelheaded, and frequently puts the needs of others over her own.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: She has cherry blossom-pink hair and is one of the sweetest girls in the cast.

"Everybody behave, understood?
These are the least of manners!"

The DJ of Lyrical Lily. A serious and earnest girl that acts as part of the Disciplinary Committee at Arisugawa Academy, but her good nature means she tends to get pulled into Kurumi and Miiko's mischief. She pretends to have no interest in DJing, but she can't hide her love of audio equipment thanks to her father.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Several card stories/arts imply Haruna likes girls, having crushes on both Aoi and Miyu. Her card story "Pounding Night Call" even has her sister ask if she's talking to her boyfriend when Haruna was on the phone with Aoi, and she thinks her sister must be teasing her because of how unlikely it would be for her to have a boyfriend. In the White Corsage of Dearest Love event also has her panic over giving Miyu a White Day corsage, with Kurumi and Miiko trying to be Haruna's "wingwomen", as it were. When Miyu gives her flowers in return, she claims that she's going to have another sleepless night.
  • Berserk Button: Don't call her "Chairwoman" (iincho in Japanese). Of course, Kurumi likes calling her this because it riles her up.
  • Butt-Monkey: She's frequently a victim of Kurumi and Miiko's pranks.
  • Catchphrase: "Who are you calling Chairman?!", in response to Kurumi teasingly referrring to her as the school's chairman based on her serious and uptight personality.
  • The Comically Serious: She's very no-nonsense and straightforward in comparison to the others, though she's been lightening up little by little.
  • In-Universe Nickname: Often called "Chairman", or Iincho in Japanese, by Kurumi and Miiko, much to her irritation, as it tends to be a mockery of her uptight nature as a member of the Disciplinary Committee. Her Navigation card illustration even has a banner that reads "THE IINCHO".

"Full of curiosity! Hop, hop!
Here’s a sneaky surprise prank!"

The VJ and a vocalist of Lyrical Lily. Bored of being in such a strict private school, she's always looking for ways to cause mischief. She feels she owes Miyu a lot for always coming in to save her from getting in too much trouble, but can't help her love for pranks.
  • Everyone Has Standards: She may be a gremlin who often causes grief for Haruna, but when it looks like she and her unitmates are going to get expelled from Arisugawa Academy for their forbidden DJ activities, she is quite horrified and she and Miiko volunteer to solely take the blame so that Miyu and Haruna don't get thrown out.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She can be a mischievous and snarky person, but she has cares for her friends and feels bad when her actions get them in real trouble.
  • The Gadfly: Loves to tease and mess with others, especially Haruna.
  • The Prankster: Loves pranks, with Haruna being one of her most common targets. According to her character story in the game, she gets it from her grandmother.
  • Taking the Heat: In Chapter 1 of their unit story in Groovy Mix, when the newly-formed Lyrical Lily unit gets busted by the nuns for their forbidden activities, she and Miiko volunteer to take the blame so that Miyu and Haruna don't get in trouble. Thankfully, it becomes unnecessary when the headmistress of the school pardons all four members and allows the group's activities to continue.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: Downplayed. While Kurumi loves to tease and annoy Haruna, she cares about her a lot and tries to help her out in her own ways. In one game event, it's revealed she started pranking Haruna because she wanted to be friends with her.
