“Coffee & Vanilla” is a 2019 Japanese drama adapted from Takara Akegami’s manga, blending romance and drama. It follows Risa Shiroki, a naive university student from the countryside, who falls for Hiroto Fukami, a charming businessman. Their passionate relationship navigates themes of love, trust, and personal growth amid societal pressures and misunderstandings. The series is noted for its stunning visuals, strong performances by Haruka Fukuhara and Dori Sakurada, and Risa’s character development from insecurity to confidence. With its engaging plot and relatable themes, “Coffee & Vanilla” stands out in Japanese television. The live-action adaptation aired weekly on MBS TV, featuring an opening theme by Good on the Reel and an ending theme by Airi Miyakawa.
The opening theme song is “You & I” by Good on the Reel and the ending theme is “Melancholic” by Airi Miyakawa.
Who is Good on the reel?
Formed in 2005 by members who met at the same school.
A five-member band with a unique worldview created by heartfelt lyrics and melodies.
The band’s name means “something feels good.”
Since their debut in 2011, they have received an explosive response through word of mouth alone, triggered by listening devices, and tickets for their solo shows have sold out in a few hours.
After their major debut in 2015, in 2016, their Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall performance, the 50th performance of their independent live show “HAVE A “GOOD” NIGHT”, was also sold out.
In 2019, they will embark on a new journey as their self-founded label lawl records and Universal Music Artists LLC have signed a partnership agreement.
