Fuji Television has unveiled the promotional poster for its upcoming Thursday drama 'Last Note', starring Akira Uchida and Takuto Higuchi, ahead of its premiere on July 9, 2026. The series is an original script that follows a 49-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man from vastly different backgrounds who find themselves drawn into a passionate love story. The title is a metaphor derived from perfume terminology—'last note' being the final, lingering scent that blends with the wearer's skin—symbolizing the enduring emotions of a mature romance.
The newly released poster visual shows the two lead characters smiling together, but the tagline reveals their hidden feelings: "There's no way I'd fall in love with a man like this" and "I must not fall in love with a woman like this." This contrast between their cheerful appearance and underlying doubts emphasizes the complex dynamics of their relationship. The story begins with a 'worst possible meeting' triggered by an unspecified incident, setting the stage for a pure yet conflicted adult love affair.
Set to air every Thursday at 10:00 p.m. on Fuji TV's 'Thursday Theater' slot, the series marks the first leading roles together for Uchida, 49, and Higuchi, 30. The show aims to depict a 20-year age gap romance, capturing both the tender connection between the characters and the dangerous undertones of a love that challenges their previous lives. A 30-second teaser movie for the drama is scheduled to air on June 18 during the finale of the current Thursday drama 'Tonight, at the Secret Kitchen'.
