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.

News and upcoming projects

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".

Erika Toda: Few recent happenings from May 30, 2018

Didn't do one for Taurus due to my computer issues but will try to do a Astrology post for my Gemini faves in the next day or two. Still don't have full time access to a computer but many of you seem to enjoy those posts and there are a lot of them I think who celebrate a b-day bewteen May 21st and June 20th. Erika isn't one of them as August 17th is her birthday and like so many of my faves she'll be hitting the age of thirty this year.

Think at least five will be hitting that age in the next few months and all of them are actresses, sadly it seems as when they've approached that age their activities have slowed down. Erika is currently starring in the drama "Gakeppuchi Hoteru" which began on April 15th. Can't watch any new dramas for now but will get to it but don't think the series is being subbed. Looks like it's an interesting and quirky show and these are some pics from the set.

Those bottom two pics are for the 'Code Blue' movie that will be released on July 27th. Thought the third season didn't compare to the first two but bet another view or two may change my mind. With the movie coming out in two months that means we should be seeing much more of Erika though this is already her fourth post for this year, her two female co-stars have been AWOL for way too long. Have two new mag spreads which are both a tad too small, this is from the July issue of Oggi.

Actually this one isn't too small as Erika graces the cover for the May edition of Tokyo Calendar.

Erika is a spokesperson for Lancome though I haven't seen any new CM's for them. She also represented the company for 'Women's Day 2018' back in February and did have a pair of posts for the event where Erika looked so super duper.

Perhaps we will see Erika in some new CM's for Lancome as on May 18th she was at an event for a new product for them called 'Tandoor Ultra Wear'. The event took place at the Shinagawa pier though Erika didn't take a ride on the boat which sells their products. Plenty of fabulous pics from the happening which is followed by a video of it.
