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".

Rika Izumi: Many(but not enough) recent happenings for 2019 #1....



 Glad many visitors still view the older posts frequently and one asked a question three days ago in a September post. That was for Rika's unsurpassable 2017 photobook and they asked 'How can I leave a message for Rika if she no longer has a Facebook page?'. Good question and there are a few answers to that.
 One is I could tell her about your predicament later when she comes home but have other plans besides relaying your concern. However there are two other ways you can get in touch with her or at least follow her current happenings. She does have a Twitter account she updates often, use her Kanji name when you go to it and you'll be able to leave a message or whatever. Plus she also updates her Instagram account often too.... https://www.instagram.com/rika_izumi_/?hl=en


 Don't think Rika has completely stopped doing gravure spreads though she hasn't done one since last Spring. Do admit I would rather view jaw-dropping ones like the above pics but Rika to me is still the hottest woman in the world regardless of how she dresses. Think many agree as she's one of the most popular gals here and perhaps the busiest too. She's currently in the 'Queen' drama and it's her biggest role to date. Have viewed the first two shows and they were actually quite good. It also features a few other fave actresses of mine but don't think I'll have time to recap the entire series, perhaps I can squeeze in a pair pf posts.






 What I've really been mussing is Rika appearing at events. In 2017 she was at a dozen of them, last year only three and so far for 2019 the total is zero. Have no clue why she's stopped doing them as she seemed to be in demand and she is a model/spokesperson for many companies. What's really the best thing about her appearances is how classy and elegant Rika is at them, let's just keep our fingers crossed she's reading this post and decides to make her event appearances more frequent.
 But Rika has been very, very busy lately though they don't always make for great posts. Hmmmm, on second thought all of her pics of course make for perfect posts, there just hadn't been enough of them until recently. Supposedly it's almost time for Spring but not where I reside as once again two storms are on the horizon. But Springtime also means many new pics for collections and have a bunch of them today with these being brand new from the Honeys site.














 Had never seen Rika pics at their site so she must be a new model for them. Seems she's also a new one for Viz, just four pics which just came out two days ago.





 She has been a model with Mercury Duo for a while and these are also brand new pics.












 Granted none of the new pics today are gravure ones but all are simply hotter than hot to me, they blow away the vast majority of models who only can dress skimpy. Least all of these pics today are brand new or somewhat recent like these from the Maquia site.











 Rika has been one of their exclusive models for a few years. She's also been one for Voce though their site has only these four newish pics.





 On to a few new mag spreads, just about every pic for today is from this year though this first set is from the December issue of Oggi.









 More pics from Oggi and these are from their March edition.





 Rika is also a model with the With magazine, these are from their February issue though I forgot to check their site for more pics.






 Because there were no event pics it may seem this post was a bit on the small side but bet there were easily over fifty new pics. Final set today has Rika once again gracing a cover and it's from the January 29th issue of SPA!. Following the pics is a new CM for Indeed which is a must watch.
