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".

Haruka Fukuhara: Couple of more recent tidbits....

Just a few items as Haruka's last post was less than two weeks ago but I really enjoy doing posts for her, bet there's about forty new pics for today. May seem hard to believe but think Haruka would rank third as far as actresses go for having the most posts for this year. She's really become a big fave of mine and she's really a superb actress, can't wait for her "Cheat" drama to start and that'll be happening on October 3rd, she also has the lead role in a film coming out in November.

Er, that's far from what Haruka really looks like and actually that's a big plus for her. Am working on that next pair of preliminary posts for my top twenty faves of 2019. Haruka was eighth on the last list but may have dropped a spot or two for the next list but the final one won't be started until late November. Nothing that she's done or not done has affected her but it's just the fact that at least one has really zoomed up the list but think for the final one she should finish around the tenth spot.
Hopefully there will be another post for Haruka within the next week or so, would imagine there will be an event for the "Cheat" drama. Plus think she's going to appear at next weekend's 'Girls Award' show and she always looks so alluring yet adorable at them. Haruka released a single five weeks ago, it's her first one in years and it made it to #26 on the charts. Title of the song was "Mikanseina Hikari-tachi" which I think was the theme song to her "Coffee and Vanilla" drama, still looking for a good site that has all of the episodes subbed. Do have the first two which were enjoyable and for the single she did an interview with the 'Reader Store' site.

For so long Haruka was just a so-so Instagram poster but since the beginning of August she's been posting more pics than ever and most of them are quite terrific. Top two are from her August 28th birthday and she'll be the youngest gal on this year's fave list.

Shortish post and the final item is from an event that took place on September 20th at the TOHO Cinemas in Hibiya. It was for the anime movie premiere of "Hello World" which is a movie set in the year 2027 and tells the story of two high school students and what happens to them ten years alter, in the film Haruka voices the character of Mizusu and have plenty of fabulous pics from the premiere. There's a video of it after the pics which is worth a view as the entire cast is quite good.
