Konnichiwa and Annyeong Haseyo minna-san

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

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: "Scarlet" asadora press conference pics plus four(!) new mag spreads....



 After going so long with just a few posts for my top twenty faves now there's back to back ones and let's hope a trend is beginning. Hate to say that Erika only finished 4th on the list as that's quite an achievement considering how many faves I have as you've noticed. The only reason would be because up until 2015 Erika would have been my clear cut choice for being #1, it's not out of the question for her taking that position again if another list is ever done.
 Think it was back in 2014 or so when Erika began losing too much weight, why is a mystery as she was already a thin woman. However the last year she's started to look so much better and those two new pics above can attest to that fact. This has been a busier year for Erika compared to her previous few and 2019 also looks to be a busy year. She does have a film coming out in February titled "The Day's Organ" and will have the trailer for it at the bottom, it just came out today.


 Don't use either these days but once did, those above two make for perfect pics for your desktop. The other terrific Erika news is also at the bottom of the post and it's something I never thought she would do or should I say it's probably never crossed any of her fan's minds.
 Do have all the episodes though haven't begun to watch it yet. Am talking about Erika's current drama "Dai Renai" which only has two(?) shows to go. It is being subbed and it's up next for me once I finish "The Ghost Detective" series which is taking forever but at least it's an excellent show.





 Erika turned thirty back in August, have noticed most actresses or Idols when they're close to that age or over it don't post too often on blogs, Instagram or Twitter. Erika is no different as the only time she ever posts pics is when she's on the set of a drama or film and there's been zero for about a month now. But do have some fabulous mag spreads for today and it's been a while since she's appeared in many of them. With the new film coming out in two months sure we'll be seeing many more spreads and first off is from the December issue of act+ which is a film magazine and their pics are usually odd looking.






 Another spread for this month which is from Mina. That spread is way too small like the three pages following it which are from the January edition of Men's Club.







 Much bigger spread for Erika and she also graces the cover of the December issue Maquia, last two pics are from their site.










 This press conference took place two days ago and the news was truly unexpected. That's of Erika being the star of an NHK asadora series and that's really tremendous news. Have watched many of them but have never finished one as they're so long at 156 fifteen minute episodes. Am planning on watching the current series "Manpaku" which still has many episodes to go.
 Title for the asadora will be "Scarlet", they announce these quite in advance as it won't be starting for about nine months. Erika has the lead role in the drama which takes place in the 1950's, the filming will take place in Koka city which isn't far from her hometown of Kobe. Have plenty of ultra fine looking pics from the press conference which will be the 101st asadora and those shows are extremely popular. For some reason there's no video of the event but will keep my eyes open for one but after the pics have the new trailer for her February film "The Day's Organ".
