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

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".

"Kakegurui: The Movie"- premiere pics with Haruka, Aoi and Marika plus more....



Above is the link to the drama and film's Japanese site which is worth 
checking out. It has the movie trailer, cast info and other tidbits.


 As you have been able to tell over the past eight or so months am a massive fan of this series which reminds me so much of 'Liar Game', that should make any drama fan want to view this series. The second season is currently airing but as I've mentioned numerous times it's not being subbed at the moment. But have confidence that it will be happening, think the first season wasn't subbed until it finished.
 Then you can expect recaps for every show plus more, don't know why but I really became hooked on this series and have already viewed it three times. Highly recommend viewing it if you haven't and very quickly, the drama takes place at the elite Hyakkaou Private Academy. Most of the students there are from very distinguished families but the school is anything but an educational institute. Instead the students spend almost every waking moment.... Gambling! And not for small stakes as the debts can run into tens of million yen, it's quite a suspenseful show.



 The drama has also spun off into a film which had it's premiere last Friday. Did a semi post for the event that featured the drama's main star above and today have three other faves from the movie. First off here are a few more promo pics for the film, have posted quite a few already but every one is new for here.












 Some older pics that were posted which are mainly behind the scenes ones.









 Marika was a Nogi fave of mine, she did make my list for the last 'Top Ten Fave Members'. She's not in the drama but is in the film playing the role of  Tomu who is a mysterious student, one that looks like a male yet at the premiere she looked more kawaii than ever.






 In the first season my fave character was Mary who was played by Aoi. She could be the top actress around these days but except for season two hasn't appeared in much lately. Have some fine looking pics here from an interview she did for the movie with the Hustle Press site.








 The person who has moved up quicker on my faves list this year than anyone else in Haruka, what an incredibly attractive face she has. She's also not in the drama but is in the movie and her character of Eri is a sub leader of a cult group, the movie could be so different than the drama. First pics are promo ones for the film while the others are from an interview with the Style Nikkei site.










 And to end the post off have many pics from the premiere. Was going to include Ruka in this post but want to have another solo one for her next week and will save her pics for then. Also in the film but not at the premiere was Sayuri from Nogi. First off below is Haruka and the way she looked at the event was unbelievable, what a stunner she's turned into.
 Following her are pics of Aoi and Marika, both also looked better than oki doki. The event took place on May 3rd at the TOHO Cinemas in Roppogni, there was another premiere the next day in Nagoya. There's many videos on YT of the premiere, have one after the pics and all are fairly good. The one I chose has a little bit of everyone from the event.
