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".

Hinako Sakurai: 2020 calendar event pics plus more!



 Two days ago said don't expect a Hinako post this weekend and obviously I was way off base. But didn't think there was a chance in the world that there would be enough pics for a post like this one, wish I was wrong more often then! Have kind of deduced by now that Hinako will never be immensely popular here, none of her posts come close to cracking the top ten for being the most viewed. However she's become such a huge fan of mine and though the odds are against it she has a chance to make the top ten for this year's 'Top Twenty Faves' list. Beginning of the year wouldn't have thought Hinako would even make the top twenty but once again am glad I was mistaken, actually there's many who will make this year's list who surprised me too.


 To me that pic above is so superb, she had more like that and Hinako would be a huge fave of many others. She has a Line blog which she updates often but just posted most of her new pics two days ago. But have three new ones since then and the others are from July for they were never posted.









 What I've moaned about too often is that Hinako doesn't appear in enough mags though she's had a pair of spreads this past month. Have posted almost all of them from 2017-18 but discovered there's a few from before then to get to, Hinako was born in 1997 so that make her eighteen or nineteen for these two sets. There's two others from 2016 I'll get to plus one more from 2017, this could be her oldest spread from the November 20, 2015 issue of Young Gangan and she was their cover girl.










 Second oldie but goldie Hinako set is from the May 25, 2016 edition of Flash.







 Hinako has a film coming out on November 15th which she has the lead role in so am expecting some mag spreads and events for it. Her 2020 calendar was just released, she's had about five so they mist be popular and here's some pics from it.









 Was just reading she has another drama starting this Tuesday which I somehow didn't know about, it'll be her third one of the year. Actually think it's part two of her Summer series "Janus of the Mirror" which naturally wasn't subbed. Today Hinako held a fan meeting session for her calendar at the Book 1st store in Shinjuku. Pics for the book were taken in Kanagawa and Sagami, not exactly far away resort places.
 Plenty of pics from the event and like I've said often Hinako is the most kawaii gal in the world, no video though so hopefully there will be one for her next post. Friday's post had a video fro her special 'V Tuber Hinako' channel which promotes tourism for her hometown of Okayama. There's a whole bunch of them so have a different after the pics than the in Friday's post. The anime character in the video is based on her and it is her voice.
