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

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 #2

Yui's acting career the last few years has stalled quite a bit, as she's shed that 'innocent' image she once had wonder if doing more steamy films like "Umi wo Kanjiro Toki" is the path she should take? Yui obviously doesn't mind stripping down these days and has bared close to all so perhaps she'd have a future doing more erotic films.
This book came out in February shortly after Yui turned 29, perhaps that's not a good age for actresses as you're too old and too young for so many roles. Plus her fan base has grown older and I would think many male teens really don't know who she is as they seem to be into more of the J-Pop Idols. That's why I was thinking more erotic film roles would be a good route for Yui, bet she would be deluded with offers if she still wanted to keep baring herself.
On to the last set of ultra steamy pics, this book sold well but not as well as her previous ones and think this was her 10th PB to date, all of them are posted here. Enjoy these Yui pics and let's hope there's more like these in the future as she keeps leaving us wanting more and more and.... by the way the PB was simply called "Yui".
