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: A mega amount of 'a little bit of this and that'.... from January 5th

As far as post views go Mio was the second most popular person who was introduced in 2018. Have a feeling she'll soon be #1 for all the newbies you've met and it wouldn't shock me in the least if she ends up being the most popular gal here by the end of the year. Mio had a busy 2018 and this year is shaping up to be like that too which should mean plenty of posts and know that brings a smile to many viewer's faces. Kind of hard not to fall for her as she is one likable gal and there's no doubt her figure makes one go WOW!!!!

Quite a few happenings since the last Mio post which wasn't that long ago, as I said she is one busy person and she'll be turning 22 in exactly two months. Didn't check to see if Mio will be at next weekend's 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show but hopefully as she is a model for many companies and mags. These are from the ViVi site, top four are new while the others are slightly older.

Another company she models for is Laurier Press and there are so many pics at their site.

Mio has a new drama which begins tomorrow night, English title for it is "Mr Hiiragi's Homeroom". This appears to be an intense drama where a teacher is holding his students hostage(?), if it gets subbed will be viewing it. These are pics from a Mantan Web interview she did for the series.

These are more interview pics for the drama with the Modelpress site. But it was also for an award Mio won which was the 'Most Valuable Instagrammer Person' in Japan for 2018, to me though she doesn't post all that many pics on her site and have zero for today.

Oooop, actually have two pics from her site. Will let you guess who the other gal is but she does have a few posts here and glad I saw the pics as her mate truly deserves many more posts which I'll be working on.

Last post had Mio's spread from the November 2nd issue of Friday though I'm fairly certain this set from the November 16th edition hasn't been posted.

Mio appears in many mags but the one by far is WPB and quite often she's their cover girl. She has that honor again for their January 28th issue and what a fabulous set of pics.

Final thing for this post are pics from a December 16th event. Mio was there for JRA which is the Japanese Racing Association and she was promoting a special campaign that began at the Nakayama course on the 23rd. Mio is also going to be a 'manager' of a horse and she was in a TV movie last year about horse racing. Plenty of pics here from the event though she's not dressed like Lady Godiva! No other recent videos so have one from the event after the pics.
