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".

Mio Imada: Even more recent happenings....

Mio was one of the most popular actresses over at Aitoda and it's easy to see why as she's also one of the hottest gals around. But she's more than just an alluring young woman as I've been enjoying her acting in the '3-Nen A Gumi' series, would like to see her have a starring role which hasn't happened yet but think it's just a matter of time. Speaking of that drama have recapped the first five episodes and am about to start writing up more of them. Have viewed episodes six through eight, will write those up soon and then get to the final two shows, what a series it's been.

Mio seldom does gravure pics these days which is a shame as she looks so fabulous but her popularity is so high now she doesn't have to do them. She did have a photobook that came out last October but haven't seen it yet, guess I'm going to have to work on getting it. Mio will be releasing her second PB in July though it won't be a regular one. It'll be a 'Style Photobook' which means it will be fairly conservative and feature pics of her wearing clothes she enjoys or perhaps created. These are a few advance pics from it and the pics for the book were shot in the LA area.

Mio does so much of everything these days, from modeling to acting to appearing at events, doing CM's and I'm sure a few other things. Modeling seems to be one of her busiest activities these days as she represents so many companies or sites such as these new pics for Red Yazel.

Another company Mio models for is Bis and more new pics from their site.

Mio also appears at so many events, think she's been at about ten of them so far this year. Have a pair of them for today with both of them being from March as I need to catch up on a few of her older activities. Pics here are from the March 30th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show. The show took place in Yokohama and she took her stroll on the Navi stage.

The other event took place on the 14th and was for GU which is a store, the event was for a new store opening in Shibuya. It was also to promote a special 'Style Section' located there plus Mio was wearing an outfit which could be purchased the the store.

Think the main reason Mio appeared in so many gravure spreads last year was to promote her first photobook. These days the sets are much more conservative but I still think she looks so fabulous in every pic. Have a pair of spreads today with this set being from the June issue of ar.

Much bigger spread to end off with and Mio is also the cover girl for the June 5th edition of Weekly Shonen. Was looking on YT to post a video and discovered Mio was at another event today so think that means there will be yet one more upcoming post for her. Not the most exciting video but at the bottom is one from the March TGC show.
