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 monumental second intro post!!!!

Think 'monumental' is a good word for this post as it's going to be tough for her to top this one, wasn't even planning on doing a Fuka post today until an hour or so ago. Lots of recent happenings for her, was going to have a few older things but think I can save them for future posts. Seems lots of viewers also like Fuka as her first most drew quite a few views though not enough to propel that post into the top ten for views.

Actually do have a few older things which will lead things off. Fuka was a host of the 'Girls Locks' radio show from April 2015 until September 2016, these are pics from her final show and it's a shame there's no pics of her with another fave who was a host during that same time period.

Fuka's first photobook came out in 2016, haven't seen it but bet it's fairly conservative. Her new PB came out today and it appears to be anything but conservative, more info on that at the bottom of the post. However Fuka hasn't always kept everything under wraps as you can see in these screenshots from the 2017 drama "Massage Tantei Joe". Do have the entire series but have only skimmed through it, so far it hasn't been subbed but still holding out hope it will as it appears to be a fun drama.

As you can see in the bottom pic she wanted to be a female Holmes. Fuka currently has the lead role in the Sentai series "Tokustasu Gagaga" which began a week ago. Will be recapping that drama, the first episode has already been subbed and from what I've heard all the shows will be done. Just unsure to start posting after the second episode or wait until the series has ended, probably the latter.

Have one new mag spread which is from the January 15th edition of Weekly Ascii, Fuka was promoting her PB and new drama.

These Fuka pics are from an interview she did last week with the Sanspo website.

Fuka's second photobook is titled simply "F", not many titles these days have a lot of originality. These are some promo pics from the book and Fuka looks so much more amazing then most would have imagined, pics for the book were shot in Okinawa last September.

The PB was released today and Fuka held a fan meeting session for it at the Book Fast bookstore in Shinjuku. Like most gals who have these events she dressed in a low key style though most of the time the pics in the books are anything but low key. Plenty of superb pics from the event along with a video of it from Oscar which is her agency.
