Last Friends J-Drama = Haruka x Michiru inspired?

Its been over a year since an actual update...

Anyway most of anime otakus that have heard of Sailormoon can always remember the obvious lesbian pairing of Tenoh Haruka and Kaioh Michiru...aka. Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune
of the series.
Then few weeks back my friend told me of an ongoing J-Drama (Japan Drama) that have a remarkable coincidence with the characters. The series is called "Last Friends". I blogged it immediately in multiply account, but never got to actually observe the similarities until now. (They don't have english subs yet).

Here is a brief synposis and character cast of Last Friends from DramaWiki

We all assume the creator is inspired with the pairing. And how?

- The protagonists, by their names Michi and Ruka (derivation from Michiru and Haruka)
- The Last Friends Banner (below) is similar with one of the many manga art spreads of Sailor Moon (also below) .
Although the ribbons are red, but you get the idea

- Ruka in the Last Friends is a Motorcross racer, so is our PGSM's Haruka.


The number 27 on Ruka's motorcycle is another sign. To those who don't know Haruka's favorite number is 27 and her birthday falls on the 27th of January. Also the colors of Ruka's uniform bears the similar coloring in Haruka's senshi uniform of yellow and blue.

I wonder if LF's michi actually plays a violin? I will wait and see :)
