Anyone here seen this?
I just finished the drama version, and it was SO SWEET! It's so adorable! I really want to see the movie version too, but I can't get it since I'm in the US.
I thought Narimiya did a great job, but at some point it felt like he didn't fit. However he and Mimura did GREAT together!! I loved the ending too, I'm not gonn give anything aways, but I think this movie/drama is a MUST SEE!!! _________________

Yes. I completed the RAW series of the TV Drama already. Watching with the new subtitles pack now.
Have watched the movie 4 times in the cinema already. And I still found the movie more touching than the TV Drama. Yuko and Shidou did a very very fantastic job at portraying Mio and Taku respectively. And they got married after the set finished as well.

finally a thread on this wonderful movie. Think it didnt create much publicity for show but this is definitely one of the better show that came up of japan for that year. The show is beautiful filmed and the acting by the actors in it was painfully touching. Really enjoyed the bittersweet story. _________________

I shed a tear for the movie. Seriously did. I loved the story so much. Its so sincere and heartwarming...
Now the rain seems so welcoming in this equatorial country. *Snickers*

Can someone help me out on the ending a bit?
SPOILER:
Is it that she REALLY came back like the story,
or was it just that Takumi was reading Mio's Dairy about the dream she had...? I got a little confused on the story...could someone help me out... _________________

I just finished the movie. I agree that this is quite possibly the best movie I've ever seen. As for the ending, this is what I gather:
Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:
When she gets hit by the car, she is transported into the future to 1 year after she actually dies. She falls in love with the future Takumi and the son she has not given birth to yet in the 6 weeks she stays with them. When returns to the past, she is determined to marry Takumi even though it will mean her life will end sooner.

Some further ironies, interesting points about the movie and title:

If you think about the beginning when the son and husband think Mio died because of them it could possibly be true. Like she says in the movie "maybe if I don't marry Takumi and find someone else I won't die at 28." But the difference it is a destiny she chooses, because she loves them so much.
I don't like the English translated title "Be with you." The original title really means "Now, I'll go to see you." Also, when you read it, the Ai sounds the same as Ai (love), so the title sounds like "go towards love." When I first read the title, I thought it was straight forward, "she's going to see them" from the dead. That's true, but it also has the 2nd meaning, the one she writes in her diary, that she goes to see Takumi to choose the tragic yet happy future where she dies at a young age.

Interesting pointer as well. This is seriously a great movie, I oculdn't stop crying.
