I don't think black coffee drinking will go away any time soon in TV dramas and movies. Aside from liquid cream a powdered cream by the product name of Creap ("cream" + "powder") is popular. Half and half is unheard of. Japan is a country where canned coffee is very popular. Most of it has a lot of sugar and dairies added. An ad for the few canned straight coffee touts how manly and mature it is to drink that. Now, green tea, on the other hand, can only be consumed straight. It would be no less than odd to sweeten green tea, so the rest of the world is considered strange for doing that.
