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".

Yui Ichikawa: "Yui" 2015 photobook scans #1

Sure most of you have seen the pics from Yui's 2012 photobook "Origine", if not they were posted a while ago here so just search for those posts. For her it was quite a shocking and steamy PB, though Yui has always done such incredibly sexy spreads and books those were done in a bit of an innocent way. "Origine" though left very little to the imagination as at the time they easily ranked as her all time best pics.
May have to change that thought of what Yui's all time best pics are as the ones in the PB are even more more shocking and steamy than that 2012 book. Overall "Origine" may be the better book but some of these pics here are close to being unpublishable for this kind of blog, these ones definitely leave almost zero to the imagination.
Then again Yui did bare almost all in the "Umi we Kanjiru Toki" film from 2014. She looked quite good in the movie but not as superb as she usually does, thought she lost some weight for the movie but don't know why as she's always been somewhat thin. Well, enough of this babbling as I'm sure you want to move on to the pics and believe me you will be shocked about some of them, looks like Yui has shed that 'innocent' tag she once had as a teen. There's a hundred pics in all so check out the next post for the remainder of this jaw-dropping set of pics.
