There is no other one like it, i wouldn't even call any movie close to "similar" to this. I have seen a lot of movies from all reaches of the universe, and none of them is like Lily, Lily is very unique. Although, of course the other Shunji Iwai's movies have similar shooting techniques etc. But they aren't similar movies.
As stated above, it's not very similar to Lily, but I would recommend everyone to watch Takeshi Kitano's
Kids Return
. The best japanese movie about youth - right after Lily of course. -

Both of those are good.
However, when I saw this I was very much reminded of Moonlight Whispers or Gekko no Sayasaki. That deals with japanese teenagers and the really disturbing sadistic/masochistic (yet charmingly sweet at times) female/male relationship between the main characters.
Look at my movies! v (v as in below)

Takashi Miike's Young Thugs Nostalgia and Innocent Blood movies are a brilliant display of Japanese youth. Also if you're turned off by seeing the name Miike, don't worry, this film even surprised me with it's sense of realism. It's very different from the usual Miike in a realistic sense.
Also Kwak Kyung-Taek Friend is an excellent portrayal of South Korean youth.
Also, not exactly the same and not Asian, but Thirteen usually comes to mind when talking about youth corruption.
