You must include an adjective because you’re describing a mood- “on a sad note”, “on a happy note”, “on a happier note” are common expressions that are used to show that something has a certain mood (“happy”, “sad”, “pessimistic”, etc.). “On that note” is a related phrase and requires no adjective but “that note” refers to the mood of what was said previously.
