Description:

Since her debut in 1972 at the age of 20 with the album "Tamanegi", she left behind many hit songs such as "I'm Crying" and "Orange Village to Spring", and continued to work as a singer-songwriter and actress until her death in 2016 at the age of 64. As an actress, she appeared in the TV drama "Naoki Hanzawa," the movie "Rip Van Winkle's Bride" directed by Shunji Iwai, and many other films. Her last film was Naoko Ogigami's "When They Seriously Knit" (released in 2017), in which she sang under the unit name "Lily + Hiroshi" from 1999 until the end of her career. Kenji Hazama, cinematographer of the film, watched the live performance. Kenji Hazama, the director of cinematography, fell in love with the group after seeing them perform live, and began filming at his own expense in 2013 to document the event. However, six years after her death, this project was realized in order to convey the real "appearance" of Lily's singing in her later years. This is a documentary film of four performances from her last years (2013-2015) and Lily's first live performance. (approx. 90 min.)
