▲The poster of the Japanese drama "The Favorite"
The visual poster was released on October 24, starring Yuriko Yoshitaka and premiering on TbS's Friday Theater series The Favourite (which airs every Friday at 10 p.m.
The TV series "The Favourite" is an original suspenseful love drama that tells the story of "The Female Entrepreneur Sanada Irishiro (Yoshitaka), who is an important witness in the murder case, and Daiki Miyazaki (Matsushita Tsunehira), a criminal police officer whose lover and is in charge of the case, together with the support of Irison's lawyer Kenichiro Kase (Iura Shin), together to solve the mystery of the disappearance case and the serial murder that is happening fifteen years ago. The show's other actors include Hiroko Yakuzaru, Mitsuhiro Kawa, Ken Mitsuishi, and Naomi Tamakami.
The first visual poster consists of black-and-white photographs of the 12 people who appear. This work deals with disappearances and ongoing homicides from 15 years ago, how are these people related to the case? Who knows the truth? What does the copywriting "truth disappear because of love" mean? The 12 people all look suspicious, and this "suspense version" poster fully shows the reasoning color of the show.
In another "Love Story Edition" poster, Iriyoshi, Daiki, and Kase are surrounded in warm tones. The words "Everything is because of love" represent the hometown where capable entrepreneur Li Yang lived before college. In this seemingly ordinary place with deep meaning, Li Yang's love takes root, but one day tragedy happens.... Both posters were produced by film and episodic poster designer Shintaro Kira.
Designer Shotaro Kira sent a message
The 12-person "suspense version" poster that I co-created with the actors presents the theme of "everyone has secrets, lies and truths are blurred in the public eye". On the contrary, in the "Love Story Version", the state of "love and being loved at the same time" is shown. The font color of the title "Favorite", I specially selected the design of both good and evil. (Lamb/Translation)
