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: A slightly overdue post of perfection....



 Those above are from a 2017 Anan mag spread which is easily one of the top five of all time. It's kind of odd that she's never done that type of gravure set of pics before or after, what a shame as her figure isn't topped by many out there. What's also a tad odd is that two of my current top twenty faves are 'free announcers', my #1 happens to be one and would place Minami in the fifth spot.
 Had three intro posts for her in January, nothing since then but it hasn't been from a lack of trying. May have made those posts a bit too large and used up all of her new pics, have a feeling that may be the case today too. Have plenty of new Minami happenings for today and bet over 90% are from recent activities though none from her drama "Justice Monster", it was her first major role. That show ended two weeks ago, will watch it but unsure whether I'll be recapping it.



 Minami is also one of the older women I post about as she turned 32 last November, have noticed my posts from the past month have featured so many women who are thirty or over. There are so many things not sure what to begin off with, how about a few recent pics from the Voce magazine website?






 A 'free announcer' means you're not tied to one network and can work for any station doing any kind of work. And Minami is certainly in very high demand, she does everything from modeling, acting, hosting shows, doing CM's, and so much more. Her last gig as a co-host was for the "Hirukyun" show that aired on Tokyo MX but fairly sure it ended on March 29th, these are from the show's final week.

















 Wish there was at least one new mag spread but that's sadly not the case, she's never been one to appear in many. But there have been a few superb ones over the years such as this oldie from the January 2011(!) issue of Bomb and her looks have really changed over the years, if you ask me so much for the better.






 Minami is a person who doesn't post all that many pics on her Instagram page, that's probably the case for many actresses or announcers over the age of thirty.









 Minami is also the co-host of the current 'Gutan Nobo 2' show though not going to post any pics from it today. However she did do an interview for it with 'TheTV.jp' website on March 12th for the talk show and these are truly some A+ pics.









 The day before she had another web interview which was with Livedoor, it was mainly an interview about all of her activities which meant that it was quite long.








 Forget about this being a small post, when you post pics of the ultra attractive Minami it's kind of difficult(impossible) to stop! On March 30th she was at the 'Tokyo Girls Collection Spring show which was held at the Pacifico Arena in Yokohama in front of almost 32,000 fans though most may not have been there for her, grrrr!!!! She was the MC for the show which is in it's 28th year, she's also hosted at least two other ones.












 On to the final batch of pics which are my fave ones for the day, Minami is a woman who doesn't need to dress skimpy to be so overly alluring. This is a huge set of pics that are from the Tocco site and are for their Spring collection. Unfortunately there's no kind of video for the clothing line, usually they do have them but hopefully there will be one for her next post. After the pics have a short clip from her "Justice Monster" drama, it gets the blood slightly boiling....
