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: Few recent happenings....



 As mentioned in the previous post will be taking a pair of days off, for the first time in a while have a bit of freedom to partake in my fave activity which is enjoying a few(too many) lagers. Marie is one of the busier actresses/models/celebs these days and bet she's appeared at seven events or perhaps more already this year.
 However pics like these at the top are seldom nowadays as Marie is one of the more conservative dressers but to me still beats 98% of anyone I post about. These pics at the top are from her one and only photobook "No Gazpacho" which came out in January 2018. Lot of gravure pics in the PB plus all of the mag spreads around that time featured many fabulous outtake pics from the book. But to date that's been the only time she's had pics like that which is such a shame as she truly has one underrated figure.


 It's fine to me though that there haven't pic scorching pics like those above as Marie looks terrific no matter how she's dressed. My fave pics so far of her her this year were from the premiere of the 'City Hunter' anime movie which happened about a month ago. Did a post for it and it's honestly hard to top how she looked at the event....






 For that film Marie has done quite a few interviews with many websites, for them she was also promoting another film she was in that came out a week later, "Tora-san: Boku ga Neko ni Natte Wake". There are so many interview pics had to leave some sites out but may have them in her next post, these are from the Abematimes website.






 In these interviews Marie also discussed her new CM for Mercier which is a French company. At the top of the post is a new CM for them which has a long behind the scenes segment. On to more interview pics which are from Line while the bottom four are from the Nom de Plume site.













 'The TV.jp' are the source of Marie's final interview pics.








 Think the only thing about Marie that is somewhat disappointing are her mag spreads, not that she doesn't look oki doki in them but it's just that there's so few of them recently. However she is an exclusive model for the More magazine, haven't seen their April issue yet. Her pics at the mag's site have been increasing and these should be all new for here.








 As mentioned above Marie usually shines at events and have two new appearances for today. Can't say she looks overly terrific in this first set of pics though that smile could melt any iceberg. On March 4th she was at a New Balance event where she was named an ambassador for their sneakers. The event was also to promote many new CM's for the company though have none for this post.











 Marie also has a drama starting up in April, will have more info on that in her next post and they seem to be happening much more frequently lately. On March 5th she was at another event for 'Foodex Japan' and it's the second time she's appeared at one of their shows. It was held in Chiba City and was a huge international food exhibition. At the event Marie also assumed her second ambassador's title which means we may see her at many more future events along with some CM's. Wish there were more pics from the event though do have a video of it following them.
