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".

Kasumi Arimura: "Shin Kokyu" photobook scans


 Wish more actresses put out photobooks as I think the number of them after they turn twenty is very small. Kyoko who had a post earlier today is an actress who has put out many of them, she just turned 35 and bet in the last decade she's had at least seven books. Satomi is another one who has had a few books after she turned twenty and there's three that come to mind. She released her latest one earlier this year and what a massive seller it was with total sales of 110,000+ as it was the third biggest selling PB of the year. Obviously then there is a market for older actresses (25+) to have photobooks and let's hope you know who is reading this.


 You-know-who is Kasumi who will be turning 25 in exactly two months to the day. This has been her only PB and it was released on November 7, 2013 when she was twenty. It's called a photobook but it's not like most of them as it's kind of a 'greatest hits' set of pics from Young Jump magazine. Some of the pics appeared in their mags plus many were outtakes from the photo shoots.
 But also many pics were new for the book as it was a timeline from when Kasumi started as an actress when she was seventeen and the pics went up to when she was twenty. Time has been kind to her as these days she looks so ravishing and a new PB from her would be a guaranteed mega seller. On to the pics and there's 85 in all, title means Deep Breath.
