Chronicling heartbreak and destiny, the new romance drama Beyond Goodbye is set to premiere on November 14. Written by the renowned Yoshikazu Okada (The 8-Year Engagement, The Last 10 Years), the series stars Kasumi Arimura (We Made a Beautiful Bouquet, Call Me Chihiro) and Kentaro Sakaguchi (The Last 10 Years). The newly released main trailer and key art offer a glimpse into this bittersweet tale.

Beyond Goodbye tells the story of Saeko (Arimura), who loses the love of her life, Yusuke, in an accident on the day he proposes to her. Naruse (Sakaguchi) receives Yusuke's heart in a transplant, giving him a new lease on life. Drawn together by fate, Saeko and Naruse meet, and Yusuke's memories begin to awaken inside him. Set against the backdrop of Hokkaido and Hawaii, this story explores the enduring power of love.

The series has already made history as the first Japanese entry to be featured at this year's Busan International Film Festival Onscreen Category, which honors outstanding streaming dramas. Helmed by director Hiroshi Kurosaki, this project marks another collaboration with Okada following their work on the NHK serial TV novel Hiyokko.

The star-studded supporting cast includes:

Toma Ikuta as Yusuke Nakamachi, Saeko's beloved fianc whose tragic death sets the story in motion

Yuri Nakamura as Miki, Naruse's wife

Tomokazu Miura as Hiro, a kind coffee grower in Hawaii who helps Saeko after Yusuke's death

Eita Okuno as Kengo, Yusuke's best friend

Ayumi Ito as Midori Tateishi, owner of the coffee company where Saeko works

Issey Ogata as Shinoda, a veteran coffee roaster at the company

Yuki Saito as Yuriko Nakamachi, Yusuke's mother

Kanji Furutachi as the conductor of the train where Saeko and Naruse meet

Yoshiko Miyazaki as Hiroko Sato, Miki's mother

The new song Azalea, written by Kenshi Yonezu for Beyond Goodbye, has also been unveiled. Reminiscent of Saeko's experience in the series, the song talks about a painful, inevitable goodbye to one's greatest love. While touching on this unavoidable fate, the song embodies the hope found in the enduring memories of love and being loved - memories that provide encouragement as life goes on.

Yonezu composed the song after falling in love with Okada's screenplay. As part of the songwriting process, Yonezu visited the film set and drew inspiration from the production to compose the piece. Beyond Goodbye opens with the unusual scenario of Saeko meeting the person who received the heart of her deceased fianc . While the realities of this world dictate that the chances of this happening are highly unlikely, I think there is an important element to the story that will resonate personally with everyone. As I worked on this song, I reflected on Saeko's predicament of not knowing where her lost fianc begins or ends, along with the inner turmoil she faced as she deliberated on whether to maintain her distance. I hope you enjoy listening to this song, he shares.

Prepare for an emotional journey as Beyond Goodbye premieres on November 14, exclusively on Netflix.
