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".

Mio Imada: Her intro post #1.... from October 2018



 Have introduced a few newbies lately which I said most should really enjoy, Mio here is a gal I know everyone should really get into. Have noticed her for the past year or so but didn't pay enough attention to her which is definitely my fault but on the plus side that means there's plenty of older things to post about her. Perhaps not in too many of today's pics but to me Mio really reminds me of Kasumi when she was 21 or so.



 Mio is an actress and haven't introduced enough of them the past few months, she's also a very popular model as she's an exclusive model for a couple of magazines. One new mag is ViVi who she hooked up with in July, few recent pics from their website.






 Another mag she's an exclusive model for is Ray, once again pics from a website.






 Mio will be turning 22 next March 5th, so many of my faves were born under the Pisces sign and it just occurred to me I forgot to do an Astrology post this month. Mio hails from Fukuoka, her height is a bit short for an actress/model as it's just 157 cm, most seem to be 163 and over. As mentioned she's a model for two mags and she represented them at the September 1st 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show which was held in Saitama, she's also a model for Non-no.









 Mio isn't like a lot of young actresses and models as she doesn't post many pics on her blog or Instagram site. Have a few here and know most know whose with her in the first pic.






 "Suits" is Mio's current drama which looks to be an okay show, these days I prefer waiting until a series is finished before it gets viewed. Her previous drama which began in April was titled "Boys Over Flowers 2", it's a remake of the drama that aired over a decade ago and was a very popular manga which I did read many volumes of and it's worth checking out. Have some interview pics she did for the show, first seven are from Hustle Press while the next five are from the TV Life site. The final thirteen pics are from a promo event for the drama one week before it began.
























 You may have noticed in one blog pic that Mio was sitting at a table with many books in front of her. That's because she was signing them for an event that will be held this weekend as her first PB "Life Power" was released today. Will have a post for the event along with hopefully some new spreads promoting the photobook. This first set does have some outtake pics from the PB, it's a brand new spread from the November 12th issue of WPB.















 Mio does appear in many issues of WPB, have another spread from them here which is from their October 1st edition that features more outtakes from her first book.











 Mio seemed to take a break during the Summer as she had no mag spreads nor was at any events during the season. Have a pair of older sets then from earlier this year with this first one being from the May 24th Young Jump and once again she graced the cover.










 Final spread for today is the smallest at four pages and is from the June 15th issue of Friday. After the pics is a video of her new CM for Diya which has a long behind the scenes segment.
