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".

Manami Higa: "Flap" photobook scans, wow!!!!



 Here's such a hug fave I rarely post about these days and believe me it's not by choice. This past year as been so incredibly slow for Manami besides the 'Code Blue' film that came out last Summer. She's just been in one web drama this year and not many have appeared in more series than she has the past decade, none are scheduled either for this Summer.
 At one time Manami was knocking on the door for being my number one Japanese woman of all time and wish she kept on knocking. But she's really dropped since this PB came out and only finished 17th on my all time faves list though that's still an achievement. Hopefully Manami felt she deserved a break and will be back in full force very soon, she'll be turning 33 in June. She's appeared at very few events this year which disappoints me only a little, that's because the way she's looked at her recent ones leaves something to be desired as she dresses so drably, why does someone as stunning as her do that to us fans!?


 Manami's first photobook "Clear" came out in April 2012. It was a solid seller as it was in the top ten for sales for a few weeks, to me it may be a slightly better book. "Flap" was released a week after her 30th birthday in 2016 but don't think it approached the sales of the first PB, may not be as perfect but there's some truly heart attack inducing pics or at least to me who has been a fan for a decade.
 There's been a few pics posted here and there but only about ten in all and have about seventy pics for today. However it's not the entire PB as I think there's about five pages missing, have held on to these for at least four months hoping I'd find them but have given up. So thought why not post what I had, sure five pages won't make that big of a difference as there's some terrific pics to enjoy and know that Manami had many fans at the other blog who I hope visit this one to view this superb set.
