All About Ashikaga - Finding Lily Chou Chou | Filming Locations

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- I went to Ashikaga (足利), the place where "All About Lily Chou Chou (リリイ・シュシュのすべて)" was filmed 22 years ago. The film, directed by Shunji Iwai, is one of the most unique films I've ever seen, and the fact that it was made 22 years ago still blows my mind. Ashikaga is located north-west of Tokyo and it is about a 2.5 hour train ride from Tokyo.
I stayed at a hotel in Sano, a small town about 30 mins away from Ashikaga by train, before setting off for Ashikaga during the early hours of a Thursday. The train was all students. I was probably the only person not wearing a school uniform, and with the addition of a big DSLR camera slung around my chest, I did not feel invisible.
My time in Ashikaga feels like a vivid dream. I have not properly grasp that I was really there, it felt like I was watching a behind-the-scenes featurette that was incredibly clear. What I have now is a feeling of longing. It is safe to say that I will return to Ashikaga some time in the future.

P.S I have a new short film out! th-cam.com/video/ZShcNcqrLAk/w-d-xo.html
:)
I’m from Ashikaga. The first time I watched Lily Chou-Chou was when I was 14. Since then, I’m a huge fan of this movie as a citizen of this city and as a teenager. I used to be one of them who biked on the green bridge. Thank you for coming all the way down to this small city. Thank you for capturing the beauty of my hometown. I moved to Tokyo a few years ago. But I wish I could meet you when I was there.
That's so interesting, maybe I should let you know when I visit Ashikaga again! Btw, how was it watching the movie as a person from Ashikaga? Did you find it somewhat relatable?
@@LimYangJunn it doesn’t have to be Ashikaga but when you come back to japan, yes! Shunji Iwai portrayed well. Ashikaga is just a boring city like any other rural city. Especially for teenagers, it’s so boring cuz there are only a few places to hang out. But after I watched this movie, I could think this city isn’t as bad as I thought.
And yes, when I felt lonely I felt there’s no place to escape because it’s a small city so everyone is everywhere. The funny story is that the school they used is actually one of the most famous middle schools to have a lot of ‘yankees.’ The choice of school was correct lol
@suzuyokozuka3991 that's great! Cause I'm going to Japan again next year, how should I let you know? Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, it's so interesting to know your point of view. I learned a new word in "yankee" too hahaha
@@LimYangJunn do you have Instagram?
Ooh just think they are bunch of bullies 😂
@suzuyokozuka3991 yes! it's @limyangjunn
I love it!
Thank you so much for watching!
This video is just perfect, the way you film, edit, or even the text are showing how much you truly adore lily chou chou. Thanks you for sharing this with us
Your words are too kind, thank you very much for watching!
I love this, it feels like Yuichi going to back to visit his hometown years after the events of the movie when hes a grown up.
I wasn't planning on revealing my true identity but...please don't tell anyone.
this video is oddly comforting. It’s brings me the feelings of familiarity of a place I have never been to. You’ve managed to capture the essence of the film and recreate the emotions it makes people feel. I hope to one day make a video just like this and hope i capture the ether the way you did.
Ah I'm glad you found this video to be comforting. Thank you so much. I believe someday you will capture the same feeling too.
Just finished watching the movie, it took me around 4 hours, simply because some scenes were too overwhelming for me, the movie made me think, cry, reflect, and honestly when I was a young teen I was dissociated from everyone, and listening to music was the only time I felt free from the loneliness, I would go to this little spot by a riverbank where either outcasts or nobody else went to. so I can fully relate with the movie's message about music.
Some day, if I'll ever even travel to Japan in my life, Ashikaga is gonna be my first destination.
Thank you for making the video.
I can relate to having music as an escape from life, though I have yet to find a spot like your riverbank but I'll get to it haha. I did listen to "tobenai tsubasa" from the movie's soundtrack while at the radio tower, and it is definitely a memory that I may cherish.
Thank you for watching!

It's actually available free on youtube, there definitely isn't a hindi dub but there's probably a hindi sub somewhere on the internet
This is a very specific video i've wanted to see for YEARS
I'm glad to be delivering it to you :)
Even after all these years the place is still the same. People may die. But memories will live on. 🙂↕️
愛されてるなあ、リリイシュシュ…
自分が中学生の時にリアルタイムで見た映画が、こうやって世界の10代に影響を与え続けている様子をみるのは、うれしい
This feels like Lily Chou Chou DLC content. Ethereal
LOL
What a perfect tribute to the film
Thanks!
I'm from this city,Ashikaga. Thanks to this video, I can remember my old days.
When I was in university, I watched this emotional movie , Lily.
Now I'm living foreign countries, however I love my hometown.
Oh wow, a local! Thank you so much. I just want to let you know that your hometown is an amazing place, I hope I captured it beautifully.
@@LimYangJunn
Your video is so beautiful that I can remind this nostalgic and amazing movie. In addition, I can proud of my hometown.
I don't really travel anywhere, but if there's ever a "bucket list" of places I want to see in this lifetime, this is definitely one of them.
I get that...the reason I went to Japan is mainly because of this place too.
of course, the tobenai tsubasa jumpscare 5:20
you know I had to do it
Man, seriously, thank you so much for this. This is my favorite movie ever, and one of my dreams is visit Ashikaga to find the locations but right now that trip seems too far. Your video give me the peace that All About Lily Chou-Chou gives me. Once again, thank you for this. Greetings from Mexico.

Thank you for watching. I believe you will be there one day and experience that peace yourself. Greetings from Malaysia.
@@तेजसरजनीशखरे I am sure you can pirate this movie anywhere online...but I do not know if there are Hindi dubbed versions. Maybe Hindi subtitles?
@@LimYangJunn
Ok thanks, I got it on TH-cam with English subtitles
이 영상 내리지 말아주세요 주기적으로 생각나서 보러오는데 볼때마다 좋아요ㅠ 릴슈 팬메이드 영상 많이 봐봤는데 임양준님의 영상이 제일입니다!!!!
Wow...that means so much to me that you come back to this video. Thank you very much!
can you name all the locatiosn
Hi! I got the locations from this website: sonokyomunikiku.com/lily-chou-chou/
idk for some reason this brought tears to my eyes. This was beautifully shot. Thank you for sharing this experience w us. Can you tell, what camera did you use to film this?
I feel so lucky to have people like you watch this video :) I made it especially for you guys. Thank you! I used my 8 years old Canon 70D.
This is amazing. I've been getting into Shunji Iwai's works and I've seen Love Letter, All About Lily Chou Chou, Hana and Alice, and A Bride for Rip Van Winkle so far. Lily Chou Chou really is a film that stays with you and is unique stylistically. Seeing the shooting locations IN PERSON must be surreal.
I'm glad you discovered Shunji Iwai's work! They really should be seen by more people. Yes, it was unbelievable...
Will you go there again someday???
I wish I was born Japanese, because it would be easier to enjoy that atmosphere.
Clair de lune....
And arabesque....
足利に残るリリィシュシュの投影を直に感じました。私の目と貴方の見たものが、交わることのないものが、私のこころの中で線になっていくのを感じました。
貴方が感じ私に見せてくれる、鏡の中に小さく跳ね返る家、風を纏い通り過ぎてゆく人の姿、動くのをやめない人とは裏腹に、その中で鎮座する空や雲や風景。彼らにとってそれは日常であり現実。それが画面越しに、非現実に映る。貴方の感じたものがエーテルになり、私はそこに飛び込んだ。そして感じるリリィシュシュともう一つのすべて。
貴方の背中と空と雲、伸びる尖った稲と風。事実はそれだけなのに、私のすべてに思えました。苦しみにも似た、青くて甘く、苦くて、いとしい。そんな私の中にあるエーテルを感じさせてくれてありがとう。エーテルはいつも心の側に。永遠に。
I'm not sure if Google translated your words properly, but what I read was beautifully written. Thank you so much for this.
i have an immense amount of respect towards you. your effort to remember this movie by going to the places in person is impressive... i believe you will achieve greater things if you pursue this kind of content. you got a new subscriber. keep it up!
I feel very lucky to witness the locations of movies I love in person. If I can afford it, I will definitely visit more movie locations and make it a series. Thank you for watching!!
idk why i get so emotional watching this 🥹
The power of cinema...
i dont think i deserved to watch this video
I think you do.
It's 2AM, just finished the movie an came here. This made me cry again. You caught the essence, cinematography and colour grading really precisely. Surreal. A perfect tribute from a die-hard fan.
If I even get the chance to visit Japan (I don't think I ever will, I'm hopeless) I would obviously like to visit this Ashikage along with other places from my list.
I believe you will visit someday, friend. Thank you!
I wrote in notes 3 places I wanted to see. One of them is the rice field in "All about lily Chou-chou".
I want to get there before I die. :)
I'm sure you will get there eventually. Btw, I love your use of "No Surprises", it fits really well!
@@LimYangJunn Thanks 😁👍
I love this. idk it make me sad
영상을 보는 내내 엄청난 대리만족감을 느꼈어요
저도 언젠가 꼭 한 번 가보고 싶네요
I'm happy to hear that. I really hope you do make it there someday!
제작년에 갔던 기억이 나서 좀 더 와닿네요.. 제가 라멘집 갔을땐 맑은 가쓰오부시였는데 바뀌었네요ㅎㅎ 할머니가 감도 주시고 돈도 안받는다고 하신 정이 떠올라요. 명부도 작성했는데 제껄 보셨는지 모르겠네요ㅎㅎ 그땐 모든 장소를 가보진 못해서 아쉬웠는데, 여기서나마 볼수 있어서 행복하고 또 가야겠다는 생각도 듭니다 영상올려주셔서 감사합니다ㅎㅎ
I'm so happy that you and I share a similar experience! I don't know if I have seen your writing in the book but I remember there were a few entries written in Korean, one of them could be yours? Thank you for watching.
Ame demasiado este video todo es perfecto, la edicion, la fotografía, todo.
Sin duda merece mas reconocimiento
Me encanta 💗
エーテルの海を感じました。
다 같은 도시에 있는 건가요?
한 번쯤 가보고 싶네...
뜻 깊은 여행이 될 것 같아요
It's so wonderful and indescribable, your work deserves more attention! and please tell me which camera these recordings were made on!
Thank you! I recorded these on my Canon 70D, old camera.
thank you for the answer, I was glad and warm that you noticed my words! I would like to see more of such a miracle from you ☃️
素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます。またあの場所へ行きたくなりました
Oh hi! I watched your video before visiting Ashikaga! Thank you very much for your wonderful video too as they have helped me in my pilgrimage. I hope you return to Ashikaga soon!
Ashikaga parece un pueblo bastante lindo y tranquilo, sería mi primer destino si fuera a japón! Muy buena producción de video también.
It is a very peaceful town...Great place to just relax. Thank you for watching!
I came across this video days ago and im here to watch it again. I feel so happy that there are still people who appreciates All about Lily Chou chou. Especially visiting the places where they filmed the movie makes me wanna go so bad too, It probably feels so surreal to go there! Btw I love how you filmed and edited this video. Tysm for sharing with us! Keep it up! :D
Thank you for watching, and rewatching! Same, I'm so happy to see that the film is still being appreciated today. Also, it did feel like I was dreaming when I was there hahah, you defo should go if you ever have the chance.
Woah i watched this movie today and idk how to feel it is so aesthetic, meaningful, sad. Not to mention the songs…this movie is pure art
+ this video gave the vibes of the movie
I agree...I absolutely adore the album. Glad you enjoyed the movie.
I was obsessed with this movie;<
I wish we could be friends
Let's be friends then!
👤❤️🩹🕊️
great video, loved lilly chou chou, can you say to me how did u do the transitions like the text that appears just like in the movie?
Thank you! I stole the transitions from the movie hahah. I edited them out and put them together with my own text.
이 영상은 에테르가 있다...
Thank you.
I swear if you tour that place by yourself after being a fan of the film for years, you would probably collapse from PTSD and flashbacks lmao
For real, I almost felt like an extra in the movie's world.
omg im not the korean but i also did this in april!! i studied abroad in tokyo for 4 months and waited til my last week to do this and it was one of the best parts of my time in japan. i also rented a bike and when i found the spot where he looked at the poster in the fields i felt like a little kid on christmas morning lol. wanted to stay there forever it was like a spiritual experience... didnt make it to the radio tower and left before the ramen shop opened but got to see mostly everything and so happy i did !!
For real??!! I kinda wanna see some pics hahaha. I'm glad we share the same experience!
@@LimYangJunn sorry for late reply, do u have instagram?
Finished watching this film yesterday. There’s something oddly comforting about it. Downloaded the soundtracks, they’re gonna be played in a continuous loop for sure.
This video makes me want to visit this this humble city. I love the remade shots. So wholesome ☺️
It is an amazing movie...glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been searching for this kind of movie location visit, thank you. I’m in ashikaga’s neighbor town, will probably visit in near future. 💚🖤
Wow...I see. I hope you enjoy it!
너무 좋아요 감사합니다ㅠㅠ
Thank you, happy new year!
I’m not worthy…
i cant explain the emotions i got from this, its so beautiful.
I'm happy you felt that way, Ashikaga is truly beautiful
@@LimYangJunn:) thank you.
ฉันเป็นคนไทยตอนนี้ฉันอายุ18 อีก4ปีเรียนจบมหาลัย ไม่รู้อายุเท่าไหร่ฉันจะเก็บเงินไปญี่ปุ่นเพื่อตามรอยLily Chou Chouที่ฉันรักและหลงใหล หวังว่าสถานที่ บรรยากาศ ยังคงอยู่นะ😢 เสาไฟฟ้านั่นคือฉากที่ฉันชอบที่สุด ดนตรีบทเพลงมันเข้ากันมาก เป็นฉากที่ฉันโบยบินจริงๆ💖💖-อีเทอร์ -
แด่เธอLily Chou Chou
I hope someday you will see this place's beauty in person, good luck!

Hello how'd you edit the text like the film? I'd like to know please thank you
I basically just searched "Typing effect premiere pro tutorial" on TH-cam
hi, I wanted to know if you could tell me where you got the clips of "all about lily chou chou" in good quality. Your video is perfectly done btw. 🤩
I got it from pirated websites hahaha. Thanks!
Holy shit dude this is really good. The vibe is just on point
Hey, thanks man!
Besides the fact that they film the movie there, would you recommend the place?
Also nice video, i really like this movie as well
I would! The oldest school in Japan is there, as well as the Ashikaga Flower Park which is very beautiful from what I've seen online.
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the movie.
i wish i could go to those places in real life
You will!
this is amazing. could you maybe show a tutorial for how you edited the video to be like the text in the movie?
Thanks. I just used the font "Georgia".
Crazy how people are still talking about this movie after all this time. You made me want to visit as well..
It is a timeless movie. If you can, you should! The memories I have of this place bring me immense joy.
Amazing video, deserves a lot more recognition
Thanks Blue Cat :)
i want to ask, what did you use to make this video? such as sound effects, text font, editing software, ect.. i really wanna make a video like this too!! with credits of course 。
I used Premiere Pro to edit and the font is "Georgie" if I'm not mistaken. I edited the sound effects from the movie haha. Go for it!
How many days did it take you to visit all of the locations? I want to go back to Japan to do this.
It took me a day to visit these locations as they are all within biking distance. You should definitely go!
I really like the video style and editing. how did you manage to get the text effect so perfect? I want to replicate it
Thank you. I used "georgia" as the font, and the typing sound was edited from the movie.
Wow, such an amazing video. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
u should've took me there too with u
Yeah...should've stuffed you in my suitcase.

おいおい何勝手に畑入ってんだよ
許可とったのか？
No, I did not. But I didn't know who to ask permission from...
thank you for making this.
thank you for watching
I know most people in the comments have already said, but I feel the need to do it too. This video is stunning, you made me go back to the first time I watched this movie, it even felt like an extra scene or short from the movie because of how well made this video is. I wish I could go there too someday, but you already made me go with this video and I'm grateful.
Thank you so much! If you have a chance to go, please do. It truly connects you to the film.
Thank you for this video, so many memorable moments captured in this video and the editing is just beautiful!!
It saddens me that all of these are in the past, but they are beautiful memories nonetheless... Thank you for watching!
Ouch it hurts watching this I don't like this pain
I'm sorry ;)
this video is scary as hell
LMFAO
i needed this video, gives me the closure of wanting to revisit the movie but with a taste of modernisation.
how did you find the locations tho?
I'm so happy to hear that. That was exactly what I longed for before visiting the locations; I really wanted to see how the locations in the film looked today. I found the locations in this article: sonokyomunikiku.com/lily-chou-chou/.
@@LimYangJunni'm so happy we had the same thought + thanks 💗
this is making me wanna rewatch it man
This movie will only get better with rewatches, go for it!
how do you edit the text?
can you do tutorial
I just searched "typing effect premiere pro tutorial" on TH-cam.
@@LimYangJunn thnks
Thank you for this beautiful video! Great footage and editing; you have channelled the ether so impressively. It was unexpectedly emotional when you showed the ramen shop and Iwai-sensei's signature! I also hope to make this pilgrimage one day.
Thank you so much for watching this video, I'm glad this video found you. I hope that when you do visit, you will gain indescribably beautiful memories.
i really love it.thanks
thank you!
The way you edited the video is beautiful.
Thank you :)
Amo Lily, o japão e os seus vídeos ❤
Thank you :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
ASTOUNDING. you've got such a gift. your perspective was refreshing, nostalgic, and inspired!! thank u for this
Wow...thank you for your kind words.
This was truly beautiful. You were able to capture the ether.
just seeing the locations now with the music and the text made me cry.
Wow, I'm glad you were able to enjoy it!
I also went there last august. It was also raining when I got there and it stopped a few minutes later. It feels like skies clear up for Lily fans
That's amazing, I'm glad it turned out well for you.
편집 짱이네요 너무 잘봤습니다 애정어린 찐 영상..❤
