Lily Chou-Chou is portrayed as being extremely successful, with her CDs lining prominent displays in music stores such as Tsutaya. Lily Chou-Chou was originally the vocalist of the band Philia (フィリア), that formed broke up two years after their debut in 1995. This band centred around Katsuro Kayama (加山葛比路), who wrote the music for the band. Kayama later lead the major-label band Yellow Fellows (イエロウフェロウズ).
