Hope that's correct above but what I'm saying is welcome everyone. May 10, 2019 is the first day of this blog and many may know me from 'Nao Kanzaki and Friends'... aitoda.com. There I have such a mix of things and finally decided to branch out with just a blog devoted to Japanese and Korean dramas. Will also be having some film reviews but one thing you won't see are any J-Pop idols or gravure models except for their dramas, this blog is dedicated 100% to dramas and films.

Also actresses as will be having many, many posts for them. Such as them appearing at events, mag spreads, interview pics and whatever else. So you should be seeing a lot of my bigger long time faves such as Erika Toda, Park Min-Young, Lee Yeon-Hee, Tsubasa Honda and too many others to count. The first few weeks there many not be too many posts for new dramas as I'll be copying many recaps from the old blog along with some film reviews and actress posts.

Won't be going too far back, perhaps to 2015 with a few exceptions and will have an entire series in a row to make it easy to follow. Did find it a problem completing series at the Nao Kanzaki blog, won't be doing that here as all the series will have a post for every episode. Thanks for visiting, it'll will be a work in progress for a while here but hopefully not for too long. Comments are also appreciated, like to know your opinions on dramas and for any recommendations you may have.

News and upcoming projects

Should have done this on my Aitoda blog which is to let viewers know what's going on. Seems like a good way to let everyone know if I'll be taking a break, what to look forward to and any other tidbits.

Updating update, May 19th:

Whew, have finally finished transferring over enough posts from the Aitoda blog. May be a few here and there in the future for some new that's being introduced but there shouldn't be too many. Have also included announcers for women that I'll be posting about as my top two current faves just happen to be in that profession.

The first five episodes of '3-Nen A Gumi' have now been posted. For series over five shows will be doing two batches of them as I figure ten posts are way too many to read through during one sitting so will have the second half of the drama coming up in 2-3 weeks, highly recommend the show.

June 4th.... Have written up the recaps for episodes 7 and 8 of the '3-Nen A Gumi' show and will have those long with episode eight by June 6th. Up next for Korean dramas is up in the air but leaning towards a pair of shorter series which will be either "Splish Splash Love" or "The Universe's Star".

Ayaka Miyoshi: Even more recent tidbits....

Seems many viewers are huge Ayaka fans as her last post has been her second most viewed one of all time and that post was from just three weeks ago. But that had been her first one since last June as Ayaka took way too long of a break and that's a trend she's done for the past few years. But I expect to have a few more of these posts coming up, so confident in that I'm holding on to a few new items to have in those posts but there still are plenty of new things for today.

Ayaka has to be one of the most underrated beauties around, she really can get my blood boiling. She's also a decent actress but doesn't appear in that many dramas, have seen her in two and while the shows weren't that good she did an okay job in them. Ayaka will be having her first starring role in a film that's will be released on August 16th called "Dance With Me".
To date most of her roles have been very serious ones but that film seems to be a lighthearted comedy, will have much more info the closer it gets to it's release. Last Ayaka post had many pics from the March 30th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show, here's a few that weren't in that post.

There's another TGC show tomorrow plus there's at least three more of those huge fashion shows that will take place in the next month, really hope she makes an appearance at a few of them. Not many recent Instagram pics but these first few definitely rate an A++++.

Ayaka is now an exclusive model for the ELLE site, last post had many pics from them and these are new ones at their site since that post.

But for the last two years the main company Ayaka has been a model for is 25ans which is a wedding dress magazine and site. These pics are from their Spring edition.

Even more pics from that special 25ans edition as Ayaka also had mini photobook set in it.

Final item for today is from an event that Ayaka attended on April 18th. It was for a Tiffany store opening in Harajuku, Tokyo and it's their first concept 'Cat Street' store to open in the city. Few pics from the event, to me Ayaka isn't one of those 'glamour' models but she certainly looks that way at so many events. No video of it but do have a short one from the March 30th TGC show after the pics.
