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: Somehow even more recent happenings....


 Today's back to back posts are of a pair who I also expect to be back to back on this year's top twenty list. Going into this year had liked both of them but never dreamed either one would be on my faves list, not just on the list but both will be in the top ten. Hinako may be the most busy of my faves recently as she's had five posts since the beginning of October, for the year probably ten in total.
 Should be another post coming up in a week as Hinako has a film coming out next Friday. Then I plan on taking a break from doing posts for her and will save her new pics for her top twenty post. Should be starting the countdown in about two weeks, haven't sat down and finalized anything yet but have a good idea who'll be on the list.


 That's a dynamite pic, Hinako still hasn't accumulated a lot of fans here as none of her posts have hit the top ten for having the most views. On to some new pics and Hinako has a Line blog which she updates quite often.









 Have never seen Hinako do any kind of modeling or perhaps I just missed those pics. However the Chloe handbag site has just signed her up to model their bags.





 Hinako's Summer drama "Janus' Mirror" is now being subbed, two shows have been done and once a few get finished will begin doing recaps for it.



 Have one pic from the December issue of Mina and two from the December ViVi, they're so small why'd they bother and both are for the upcoming film.




 Slightly bigger spread and Hinako is the cover girl for the November issue of Cameraman.






 How about an older Hinako spread so you can see how fabulous she looks these days. This set is from the June 2016 edition of Young Jump that came out in June.






 Title for Hinako's film coming out next Friday is "He Won't Kill, She Won't Die" which looks like an excellent eerie film, probably have to wait eight months before we can view it. The film had it's first screening the last week of October at this year's 'Tokyo International Film Festival. The second screening took place yesterday at the FS Shidome in Tokyo. Hinako looked terrific to me, she's not the kind of gal who will ever look overly elegant and is more of a down to earth yet quirky woman. Lots of pics here from the screening followed by a short video from it.

  1. Thanks for taking the time to discuss that, I feel strongly about this and so really like getting to know more on this kind of field. Do you mind updating your blog post with additional insight? It should be really useful for all of us. dramacool app
