Takeshi Kobayashi
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. 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". Iwai supplied the lyrics of two songs to the project, "Arabesque" and "Tobenai Tsubasa."
