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: Quite a few recent happenings.... from December 7th


 Except for a short break to finish her schooling Rika has been active as an actress and especially modeling since 2003. She was always semi popular but it's been in the past 2-3 years when that popularity has really risen and she's certainly the fave of many viewers here. Rika is easily my hottest current gal and it wouldn't be a stretch to say she could be my hottest of all time. She never did any gravure spreads until 2016 and those pics really catapulted her into being a star. Bit of a shame she rarely does those spreads these days but to me Rika looks perfectly fine no matter what she's wearing.



 All those above pics are from her 2017 photobook "Rika". Didn't post the scans until this year and bet that's one of the most ten viewed posts for 2018, the PB sold extremely well so let's keep our fingers crosses there's another book in the making.
 Rika's acting career is starting to take off a bit as she was in four dramas this year. Saw one which was "Bungaku Shojo" and thought she did a good job in it though wish her role was a bit bigger. However in January she will be in a prime time drama with her biggest role to date, will have more info on it once it gets closer to the series beginning but this is one promo pic for it.


 Have so many new things for today though not a lot of any of them. Rika's #1 job is being a model and to me she looks so much better an thirty then when she was twenty. She's really been busy these past few months modeling for Autumn and Winter collections, have a bunch of those pics today such as these pics for Will Selection.









 More new pics from the Parco website.





 Rika is also an exclusive model for a couple of magazines and websites. With is one of them and these are all new pics from the past two months or since her last post which was on October 11th and on that date she turned thirty.









 Lately there's been so many new pics at the Maquia site, Rika often appears in their mags but hasn't for their last two issues.












 As mentioned Rika's acting career is becoming much more successful, probably knows that a model's career doesn't last forever. She'll be in her second film that is titled "Harumatsu Bokura" which will be released on December 14th, these are pics from a screening that took place on the 3rd.












 On to a few recent Rika mag spreads and though none are gravure sets she does look A++++ in all of the pics. First off is this collection from the November issue of Classy and she certainly is.






 Second spread is form the November edition of Voce with the top two pics being newish ones from their site.








 Final Rika spread today is a superb set of pics from the December issue of Oggi. Following them is a new CM for Non Style which features a long behind the scene segment.
