At school, Hoshino forms up a gang to force other boys to steal money, pimps Shiori (a female classmate of Hoshino and Yuichi) to older businessmen, and traps Kudo (a gifted pianist and also a crush of Yuichi and Hoshino) to be a prostitute. He turns from a fellow student into a sadist and forces his former friend, Yuichi, to be a petty theft and shoplifting in order to meet HoshinoвЂ™s daily extortion demand.

During that time, Hoshino had a narrow escape from death twice and witnessed a person, whom he just met from the trip to Okinawa, died horribly. One summer, Hoshino, Yuichi and their group of friends travelled to Okinawa for holidays. Yuichi, best friend of Hoshino, is a normal teenage boy, shy before girls and timid to say what he wants to say. Hoshino is described as the best student of their high school, gifted talent in Kendo (Japanese martial art with sword).

This film is a requiem song from Shunji Iwai, sung by Lily Chou Chou for the lost and immature souls, who are imprisoned in the invisible cage, stuck in their teenage blue for all the sadness and pain, which these silkworms have to suffer, before they can break their cocoons and turns into butterflies, as chou chou in Japanese means butterfly.ДЄll about lily Chou ChouвЂ™s main characters are two eighth grade boys living in a sleepy town in rural area of Japan, Yuichi Hasumi and Shusuke Hoshino. Lily Chou ChouвЂ™s song keeps repeating вЂњI see you and you see meвЂќ, but ironically, we never вЂњseeвЂќ her.ДЄll we know about her, is through many black screen and white texts, praises her as a songbird, a salvation of drained hearts. ItвЂ™s all about her, a Japanese pop idol, but at the same time, sheвЂ™s not visualized clearly in any scene of the movie. This is a film about Lily, but at the same time, it is not.
