Is this film related to Beatles' song 'Norwegian Wood'?

Yes. In the book, the story starts as the main character listens to this song and starts to remember what the movie/book is about. This song is performed by a character in the movie, but in the book has more importance and is played more times. On the other hand, the Japanese title uses the word wood in the sense of "forest" although in the original Beatles song wood is used as furniture material.
