二零零零年，岩井俊二連同演員及攝製隊到日本杤木縣足利市(Ashikaga)拍攝電影「リリイ・シュシュのすべて」(All about lily chouchou / 青春電幻物語) 。Year 2000, Shunji iwai went to a country-side town Ashikaga in Tokyo with crews for filming the movie All About Lily Chou Chou (AALCC).
二零零八年，一個喜歡 リリイ・シュシュのすべて 但不會日語的香港人，首次走到日本，隻身去到足利市，尋找八年前遺留下來的蹤影。
Year 2008, a HongKongnese who addicted to AALCC but doesnt know any japanese went to Ashikaga for tracing the shadow of Shunji left in the filming locations.
足利市JR 馬尺 (Ashikaga JR Station)
正如電影一樣，足利市在微雨之下，我走到車站...想起他們在這裡避雨，在這裡大叫.... Just like the movie, rain fall from the sky, i reached the station and thought about the movie - Yuichi's friends were shouting around...
在足利市裡必經之路「中橋」。
One of the place I walked through everyday - the middle bridge.
行過的話要小心「落雨」 Yuichi pissed here...haha
拉麵館
店主是一位大嬸，不會英語，很辛苦才叫到一碗拉麵，然而給她知道了我是因為リリイ・シュシュ而來，她很激動，最後更免費請了我吃那碗麵。
Ramen Shop The shopkeeper was an old lady whom doesn't know any english, i tried very hard to order a bowl of ramen...well it took us 5 min, i guess. Lately I let her know i came to Ashikaga and her shop for the movie AALCC, she's so excited, she talked alot with 4 guys there (I think they are friend and know about AALCC) and she showed me the signature of Shunji!
八年後，換了成四個大叔 After eight years, teengers in the movie becomes four middle age man.
在店主得釋我是為電影而來，她立刻告訴我店內有岩井的親筆簽名! The signarture of Shunji (Middle one)
隧道
電影中yuichi偷完CD所經之路 The Tunnel
In the beginning of the movie, Yuichi and friends stole CDs and run away.. this is the tunnel he tried to break the alarms of the CD!
運動場
在微雨下，這個大概是電影裡的運動場吧。由於休館，都不能進入。 Sport Center
Rainy day, I went to the sport center but it closed. I think this is the place where Yuichi first met Kuno.
拍合照中的武道館 (
電影裡他們在「格劍」的地方，並不似在這武道館內) Budo Kan (The sword fighting scenes doesnt look like the place inside this building)
無人駅
要去田園，先要由足利駅坐火車到無人駅。無人駅也在電影裡出現過幾幕，包括yuichi晚上踏單車的地方。 Agata JR Station
This is the nearest JR station to the rice field. Yuichi was cycling around this area at night, in the movie.
這個當然不是蒼井優 Surely, this girl was not Tsuda (Yu Aoi).
這個路口就是他們踏單車的地方
The road where they ride bicycle here.
從站內影出去(用Holga影)

田園
從無人駅走很遠的路，經過迷宮般的村落(我在裡面迷路了，幸好在不能溝通下，有位大叔樂意駕車帶我離開村落，去到田園附近的路口)
有幸剛好是小麥(?)當做的季節，但田內太多動物的叫聲，我沒有yuichi及lily的勇氣站在田裡。Rice field
it's quite long distant walking from the Agata station to the rice field. There is a village in between and i got lost there (the roads were so complicated!). Luckily i saw a middle-aged man and he drove me to get out of the village though he didnt speak any english.
The rice field was so beautiful and peaceful, however, i guess there were some rats in the field and i didnt dare to stand in the field like Yuichi and Lily did.
可見稻草是長得很高 The grass grew so tall and it reached my shoulder!
用LC-A影之作:

這個是旅程敗北之地
我記錯了yuichi看poster的圖片，卻拍下了這個。根據我找到的地圖，原本的實物有可能已經不見了。
雖然不是電影裡的地方,但都好靚.My failure point in the trip.
I thought this was the place Yuichi stared at Lily's large poster, but ahh.. when i back to HK, i realized that it's not.
一天內足以完成以上景點。
從成田機場坐三小時巴士便能到足利市。
足利市除了周莉莉外，還有在平靜但佈著鮮花的街道，各個不同的寺院等，在這裡就像與世界隔絕一樣，用清新純潔的空氣洗去都市生活的忙碌。別人以「小京都」來形容足利市，可想這個比京都處於更近郊區的地方，是多麼的悠閒。
Ashikaga is a very peaceful town with alot of temples and flowers, i felt so comfortable and fresh, just like washed away all of my worries, unhappiness and dusty skin from the busy life in HK. Some people even called Ashikaga as "small-kyoto", what i admired the most is this, you cannot find any visitor here, it just like an un-explored city filled up with japanese only, people were so excited when they know I came from Hong Kong!
There is a shuttle bus from Narita Airport to Ashikaga, which takes about 3 hours long.
If you'd like to know more about how to access the city, reaching filming locations and hotel stuff, please leave me message!
