稻田綠得耀眼，少年少女戴著耳機站在正中央。風來吹，一動也不動，整個世界只剩下耳機裡的一切。
「以太」是什麼？二〇〇一年，岩井俊二讓一群十四歲的少年在 BBS 留言板上替它命名：一種只存在於莉莉周歌聲裡的介質，能讓人暫時不被世界傷害。
二十五年後，《青春電幻物語》以 4K 數位修復版再度重返台灣大銀幕。很少人知道，這個故事最初萌芽於台灣。岩井俊二與楊德昌、關錦鵬共同發起「Y2K Project」，原始構想是一名香港歌手與一個台灣少年，他還親自走訪台灣的中學勘景。那段沒能完成的緣分，如今以另一種形式回來了。
而這部電影本身就是一場前衛實驗。當年企劃一度歸零，是小林武史寫出〈共鳴〉，才把這個世界重新喚醒。岩井俊二隨後架起虛構歌迷網站 Lily holic，化身多名網友發文推動劇情，無數陌生人的孤獨與崇拜，就這樣長成了電影的靈魂。
Lily Chou-Chou 是岩井俊二虛構出來的歌姬：在電影裡，她是少年們的唯一信仰；在現實裡，她由小林武史製作、Salyu 獻聲，真的發行了唱片。海肯今釋出最後絕版供應的《呼吸》日本原裝CD與雙黑膠唱片，這是 Lily Chou-Chou 唯一的原創專輯。
小林武史包辦全作曲與製作，導演岩井俊二填詞，連 Lenny Kravitz 長年搭檔 Henry Hirsch 也列名錄音工程。唱詩班出身的 Salyu 獻出了未經修飾的生冷氣息 — 她的聲音不安慰人，只是靜靜注視。少年被推倒在泥地裡，少女從高處墜落，歌聲依然冰冷平穩地流淌，卻比任何情緒都痛。
稻田還是那片稻田。只是這一次，聲音從這些實體中流露出來。（編輯：海肯商行）

All About Lily Chou-Chou: Shunji Iwai's Green Rice Fields
Lily Chou-Chou – Kokyu (Breath), Out-of-Print CD / 2xLP
The rice fields glow green. Boys and girls stand in the middle of them, headphones on. The wind blows and they don't move. The whole world is whatever's playing in their ears.
What is "ether"? In 2001, Shunji Iwai let a group of fourteen-year-olds name it on a BBS forum: a medium that exists only in Lily Chou-Chou's voice and keeps the world from hurting you, if only for a while.
Twenty-five years later, All About Lily Chou-Chou returns to Taiwanese cinemas in a 4K digital restoration. Few people know that the story first took root in Taiwan. It began with the Y2K Project, which Iwai launched with Edward Yang and Stanley Kwan. The original idea followed a Hong Kong singer and a Taiwanese boy, and Iwai even scouted middle schools here. That unfinished connection has now come back in another form.
The film itself was an experiment. When the project stalled, Takeshi Kobayashi's song "Kyōmei" (Resonance) brought it back to life. Iwai then built Lily holic, a fictional fan site, and posted as multiple users to drive the plot. The loneliness and devotion of countless strangers became the soul of the film.
Lily Chou-Chou is a singer Iwai invented. In the film, she is the only thing the kids believe in. In real life, produced by Kobayashi and voiced by Salyu, she released actual records. Hacken07 Jr. now offers the last out-of-print copies of Kokyu, her only original album, on Japanese CD and double vinyl.
Kobayashi composed and produced the entire album, and Iwai wrote the lyrics. Henry Hirsch, Lenny Kravitz's longtime collaborator, is on the recording credits. Salyu, who grew up singing in a choir, delivers a raw, unpolished breath. Her voice doesn't comfort; it only watches. A boy is pushed into the mud, a girl falls from a height, and the singing keeps flowing, cold and steady. It hurts more than any emotion could.
The rice fields are still the same fields. Only this time, the sound comes from the record.
