In 2004, Ichikawa Takuji's novel Be With You was adapted for the silver screen to phenomenal success. Starring Takeuchi Yuko and Nakamura Shidou, the film touched hearts throughout Asia with its heartbreaking story of undying love. In 2006, another popular Ichikawa novel makes it to the big screen under the lens of television director Shinjo Takehiko. Like Be With You, Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru, a.k.a. Heavenly Forest, weaves a quiet, stirring tale with beautiful photography and moving performances. Featuring young stars Miyazaki Aoi (NANA, Su-ki-da) and Tamaki Hiroshi (Henshin), the film wistfully captures the fleeting confusion of youth and the enduring linger of romance.

Amateur photographer Makoto (Tamaki Hiroshi) and the homely but endearing Shizuru (Miyazaki Aoi) meet during university orientation and become instant friends. Shy by nature, Makoto finds himself opening up around Shizuru, and the two often go to a forest together to take photographs. Shizuru secretly likes Makoto, but he only has eyes for classmate Miyuki (Kuroki Meisa). When Shizuru decides to enter a photography contest, she asks Makoto to kiss her in the forest to create the perfect picture. But after that fateful day, Shizuru disappears.
