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. 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".

Fuka Koshiba: Her intro post #1....



 Names beginning with the letter F aren't that common in Japan or at least nowhere near many other letters. So it must be your lucky day as there's two F posts in a row which has never happened before, perhaps it'd be a good time to play the lottery! Have known about Fuka for about five years but had never done a post because she was a bit too young. Do wait until a woman has turned twenty so am very behind on things as she'll be turning 22 in less than three months.
 First knew about Fuka from watching the "Kiki's Delivery Service" movie that came out in 2014. It was a fairly decent film and it was based upon the very popular anime. May not be too many of these intro posts as I'm not going to go too far into the past, do have one batch of older pics from 2017 but everything else is from the past month. Though may have a few older things in future posts but Fuka had been a somewhat quiet gal the past two years except for appearing in some dramas.


 Fuka's height is only 155 cm and very rarely do you see actresses less than 161 cm. One other older thing I knew her from was being a host on the 'Girls Locks!' radio show. She was a host for seventeen months and guess who else during that time was also a host of the show?!


 That's from the GL site but doubt if they have any regular pics together. Fuka hails from Osaka just like another popular Nogi member does and wonder if she's into the group? As mentioned above everything for today are new from the past month except for one thing which are these pics from a Hustle Press interview which took place in July 2017. Pics are from their 'Pickup Actress' series though the interview wasn't for any new drama or film.








 Fuka has had the lead role in two films though in no dramas, that is until this week and have info on that as the post goes on. Forgot to add that she's quite a kawaii gal, her face really reminds me of someone but just can't think of the name. Fuka's agency is OscarPro and every December they have a special kimono event for their actresses. This event took place on the 14th at the Meiji Memorial Hall, it's just an annual event as they're not promoting any brand of kimonos.








 Fuka's first starring role in a drama will be "Tokusatsu Gagaga" which begins this Friday on NHK. It's a short series at seven episodes but think it's a show I'll be checking out as Sentai series are ones I really enjoy but this doesn't seem like it'll be as serious as regular ones. The drama will probably be subbed and as you can see a huge fave of all of ours will also be in the series.






 Those pics above were from an October press conference to announce the series. The ones here are brand new from 'TheTV.jp' website as she had an interview promoting the show.







 On January 9th there was an small event for the series, her character's name is Kano and the drama is based upon a very popular 2014 manga.















 Fuka's next post may not be too far in the future as on January 27th she'll be releasing her second photobook, her first one came out in 2016. So far have only seen the cover for the PB which is titled 'F', sure there will an event for it along with more mag spreads. The second pic is the cover for her 2019 calendar and she hasn't had an event for that yet.


 Said more mag spreads and have two ultra superb ones for today which contain some outtake pics from the PB. On some rare occasions Fuka has had some gravure pics but for the most part she seems to be a very conservative person and there's nothing wrong with that. These two sets for today are her best ones to date with this first one being from the January 8th issue of Flash.











 Wow, she looks so terrific in those pics so really hope there's a few more spreads for the PB. Actually this second set isn't for the book but instead it's for Fuka's new drama that begins tomorrow. She's the cover girl for the January 29th edition of Big Comic Spirits and this is the kind of spread she usually does. After the pics is a short video of the photo shoot.
