リリイ・シュシュのすべて

All aboutLily Chou-Chou.

Somewhere between the music
and the world outside.

Find the Ether Stay and listen

A solitary figure under a violet evening sky

A different kind of quiet

A film by Shunji Iwai · 2001An independent fan tribute

A place to return to

Some films end.
This one stays.

A voice in your headphones. A name on a message board. A field so green it almost hurts to look at.

All About Lily Chou-Chou follows Yuichi, a teenager who finds refuge in a singer’s music and the strangers who love it. Beauty and cruelty exist painfully close together.

光

The light

Noboru Shinoda’s images move between luminous fields and lonely screens. The landscape holds feelings the characters cannot say.

声

The voice

Salyu gives Lily her voice, with music by Takeshi Kobayashi. For Yuichi, listening becomes a way of finding somewhere to belong.

Through Noboru Shinoda’s lens

A feeling, held in a frame.

Follow the light.
Choose a landscape to look a little closer.

For the ones who understand

Is anyone
else listening?

The film’s message board turns strangers into familiar names. These imagined entries are a small tribute to that feeling.

I took the long way home today. For a few minutes, the sky was the same green as the song.

Somewhere after school.
