Iwai supplied the lyrics of two songs to the project, 'Arabesque' and 'Tobenai Tsubasa.' The music was produced as a collaboration between Iwai, Salyu, a musician who had not debuted yet, and Takeshi Kobayashi, a music producer who had previously worked with Iwai on the soundtrack to his 1996 film Swallowtail Butterfly. incidentally, much of the films drama and marvel comes from this quality.Lily Chou-Chou as a character was initially created by Shunji Iwai in 2000, as a part of an online novel that was posted on a BBS. however, respectfully, this film does a fine job of depicting its characters and events in a manner that allows for the viewer's empathy without pointing direct fingers or offering direct solutions.

this film is very much based in a realistic society with realistically harsh and shocking issues and occurrences. this is not so much a problem until the viewer begins to feel manipulated in a propaganda-like fashion. with much of what goes on in the world today, filmmakers feel social commentary is an added bonus (or even a main goal) to depicting a narrative.

lastly, the film did well to keep free of preaching. by the film's closing the style is not so much regretfully confusing as it is fittingly and fully dramatic, as well as both amazing and beautiful. the abrupt, but fitting pattern between flowing, dreamlike camerawork, shaky camerawork, textual discourse, and the eerily sensual, fictitious lily chou chou tracks provide a momentum that is both refreshing in its originality but effectively discomforting.

during the non-video portions of the film, the colors are beautifully rich, with verdant fields and saturated skies. at one point, a vacation sequence is depicted solely through excited and dizzying amateur videography by the boys themselves, humorous close-ups of accompanying girls' bodies included. the camera is often puerile and shaky when showing the boys' ventures and conversations. visually, the filmmaking complements the ideas perfectly. although executed in an arguably confusing manner, consisting of many non-chronological vignettes, the film ultimately succeeds in depicting a modern-day story involving the relationship between two early-adolescent japanese boys, their journey through life and school, their changing identities, and their fascination with and 'connection' to the strangely popular musician, lily chou chou. the nicely-scripted, brilliantly executed text acts as the backbone that beautifully holds together a story that is ultimately about many things, including the fragility of relationships and the personas we use based on them, fanatical envy and love contrasted against blind rage and hate, metamorphosis, and technology versus nature.

'all about lily chou chou' begins with a series of manually keystroked chat-room-style statements that introduce facts and ideas, mostly related to mythical pop-star 'lily chou chou.' this sort of cinematic introduction sounds similar to many other computer-age-themed films, but amazingly the keystroke dialogue between several anonymous internet fanatics continues past the credits and runs through almost the entire movie.
