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

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".

Marie Iitoyo and Rena Takeda: "Maji de Koukai Shitemasu" drama news(?)....



 No special post but more of a heads up for drama fans or to be more accurate fans of this duo and know that both have many of them here. Actually Marie is just so-so popular though she's one of my bigger current faves but her last two posts have drawn many more views than usual. But when it comes to Rena not many women here can touch her popularity as I would have her no worse than being the second most popular gal of all time here.
 It was a while in coming with the subs as this first season aired in the Summer of 2017. However they were just done recently but they had been on a FB page. Don't have an account but luckily a drama site now has them and I've been waiting for over a year to watch this show with subs. Glad someone did them but will say they're a bit subpar but have been editing them and it's a good thing there's only five episodes.





 This was a show that aired after midnight but it must have been popular enough as last Summer there was a season two. In the show Rena plays Tsubame who is attending Kanto Maritime University though she dislikes the sea and ships. She had applied there as she thought her potential boyfriend would also be going to the school but he didn't pass the entrance exam.
 Marie plays the character of Marin who is the complete opposite of Tsubame as she absolutely loves everything about the ocean and ships. Marin has been that way since she was a little girl, she's a real gung ho type of gal whose one dream is to become a sailor. That's it for now as I don't want to describe too many things about the drama quite yet. Do have a few Marie and Rena screenshots from the first two episodes here as a primer. Seemed to me the subs were a tad too small in the first show so adjusted them a bit for the second episode and hope they're not too big. Do have many more pics coming up after these screenshots.
















 One thing not to look forward to in the recaps are any swimsuit scenes though it's a bit refreshing seeing neither one dressed that way. Have posted a few of these pics before but not all that many, these are from July 2, 2017 and on that date there was a promo event for the drama. That was also the date the series began and it ran until July 30th.
 Have watched the first two shows, would love to get the recaps done by Friday but odds are against that happening so Monday looks to be the safer bet. Plenty of pics here from the event featuring Marie and Rena who certainly couldn't get enough of saluting. If season one was subbed perhaps that'll bode well for the second one also being done, that too was just five episodes. After these pics check out a video of the event.
