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: 'Taiki Life Insurance' event pics and new CM....

Whew, can't keep up with Erika these days and wish she would slow down! Er, don't listen to me as some sinister force must have taken over my body, there's no way I would ever want to see Erika slow down and wish we could keep having two or more posts for her every week. At the top is a brand new CM for Lancome, she obviously still has many fans in Japan as the video has well over 400,000 views after three days though her fan base here isn't all that huge.
Also at the top are two pics from a Lancome event that happened on March 6th. Erika looked so scintillating at the event and is it possible for her to top those pics? It's really such a close call as she may have topped those March 6th pics but it's so close we'll call it a draw.

Erika has been appearing in many more mags than usual lately, of course she looks so perfect in the spreads but my huge complaint is that all have been way too small. Such as this set which deserved more than three pages and is from the April issue of Nikkei Style.

At the end of March the 'Code Blue' 2018 movie will be coming out on DVD, hopefully we'll see Erika at an event for it plus perhaps she'll do some promo work at sites such as interviews. The 'Taiki' event took place on March 7th, it was promoting a new CM she has for them. Will have that in her next post but these are some behind the scenes pics of the video's making.

Actresses and Idols come and go so it's very comforting we can usually depend on Erika to be there and 2019 is shaping up to be perhaps her busiest year ever. She has another film coming out in June plus will be the lead actress in the "Scarlet" asadora beginning in September, that's a show I'm really looking forward to and will definitely be watching(trying to) all 156 episodes.
Once again Erika didn't disappoint us at an event and like I mentioned in her last post she hasn't looked this dazzling in many years. The event took place on March 7th, it was to promote her new CM for 'Taiki' which is a life insurance company in Japan. Have such an incredible collection of pics here from the event but instead of having the new CM have one from the occasion as who wouldn't want to view a video of perfection for seven minutes?!
