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".

Minami Tanaka: Her third intro post....



 Was hoping a few others would also be into Minami and am pleasantly surprised that's been the case  as her first post has been among the ten most viewed ones for about a week now. Can probably do another 2-3 of these posts and then it's time to wait for her to deliver us some new pics. All of the ones for today are of course fabulous though none are as breathtaking as the ones in that first post. That's A-OK as to me Manami looks like a few trillion yen no matter what she's wearing(or not), if the top twenty list is revived for this year she has the early lead for being #1.


 Like her first two posts have a mish mash of many things such as mag spreads, pics from sites and an event appearance. That Anan spread from a few years ago may be close to being the top one of all time, surprised then that Minami hasn't released a photobook as I bet it'd be a solid seller. We'll start off with a few new pics from the Tokyo Calendar website and she'll be the cover girl for their March issue for about the fifth time.





 As most know by now Minami is an announcer, for five years she worked for TBS but these days is considered a 'free announcer' which means she does many special shows and events. But she's also been a co-host of the 'Hirukyun' variety show since 2016, some recent pics from January's shows.









 Minami also just started another co-host gig that's on the 'Goto Temp' women's talk show. It first aired on January 15th but thought it was going to be a one time deal but it's not as another show aired last night. These pics are from it and as you can see there's another huge reason for watching it, won't be subbed but it's an easy show to get.





 Minami is also an actress but to date hasn't had a huge role yet, all her other activities must keep her too busy. But next month she'll be having her first biggish role in a drama, so far there hasn't been all that much info for it. But hoping for many pics from an event and interviews so will have much more about it in her next post. Don't know where Minami finds the time but she's also a popular model, it's not always noticeable but her height is only 153 and most models are at least 10+ cm taller. However she's with about five fashion sites and have a few pics from them today. First two posts had some from Maquia and have even more of them for today.






 Another site with many pics is the one for Voce, that top pic rates an A++++.







 With all of the modeling Minami does surprised she doesn't appear in many mags these days though at one time she sort of it. It was when she was first starting out as an announcer which may be the reason. This is a very old set from the January 2011 edition of Bomb.






 Know these pics for today are far from being gravure ones but Minami rates a ten in all of them from me, she's not far from being Nao's #1.... her and another announcer. Event pics are something that you'll see in every post as she appears at so many of them. These here are from a March 22, 2017 event for a new Calpis soda and also for a CM she did for the product. Looking mighty fine in the pics but instead of that CM have a different one following the pics. It came out in November and it's for Aube, it's already had over 600,000 views and never knew Minami had such a high voice.
EDIT: Forget that CM as for some reason it got deleted so have now have a different one after the pics from Sapporo that came out in March 2018.
