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.

Thirteen is very similar, but american. also, in a way the anime series lain is similar in that it is about japanese middle schoolers trying to escape rl through the internet.

It's not a similar storyline, nor does it have the extreme events. But I found Linda Linda Linda to be quite similar.
But you decide.

A Brighter Summer Day by Edward Yang. An epic about a group of teenagers living in Taiwan Very different in visual style, but similar in other ways. Warning: this is a very long movie.
there will be snacks.

Alejandro Gonzlez Irritu's Babel would be a good suggestion. for me the japanese storyline carried the same atmosphere as lily chou-chou. i watched it on the plane back from japan and it brought some things to light about the youth culture i was leaving behind me. but lily chou-chou is homegrown so it will always come out on top.
