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".

Marie Iitoyo: Her quest for this year's number one has begun....


 Actually it began five weeks ago as this is already her fourth post in that stretch as she once again wants to be #1 this year for most posts. Fourth is also the position Marie has finished the past two years on the top twenty list though there was never an official one for 2018. Would love to see her hit the top spot but have this inkling that it'll never happen for her which isn't the end of the world.
 But even though Marie may never take the number one spot for a year can easily see her eventually grabbing the position on my next 'All Time Top Twenty Faves' list, wouldn't do another one for about two years. Have mentioned that a few times before, perhaps not #1 right now but she's not far off. The past 1 1/2 years Marie has had more solo posts than anyone and is it because she's so busy or is it because I'm head over heels for her? Little bit of both as she is one busy gal though will have to say the second reason is a bit more accurate....



 She was only in one regular drama last year which was "Sign", it's a show I'd like to view but for some reason was never subbed. Last night started on the "Video Girl Mai 2019" drama which is a much darker series than the previous one and if you're a 'Tomie' fan it's a show you'll enjoy. Brought that up because Marie was in the 2018 drama 'Video Girl Ai", you'll notice a one letter difference but one thing that's the same is the lead character in both shows is a Nogi member.












 No new mag spread for today but had one of Marie's best ones ever in her last post. So will go back in time to November 2015 for this set of pics which hadn't been posted before and are from the 'Soccer Game King' site. These are just half of what they have, will have the rest in her next post.











 Marie is represented by the AVEX agency, back on January 9th they held an event for all of their actresses which was a bit of a New Year's party. Posted the pics from it already but after she had an interview with the Mantan Web site discussing her career and whatever such as her new film that came out the following day.








 She looks mighty fine in a kimono and have more pics of them coming up. Also in that last post were many pics from the "Stare" film's premiere that took place on January 10th. But have a few more pics that weren't in that post and Marie looks so incredible in this batch. At times I pine for the days of her gravure pics though there's zero wrong with perfect ones such as these.

















 Marie appears at so many events, more than any actress I can think of and hope this continues all year long. On January 16th she was at an event for 'Car Sensor' which is a new product that helps you find your perfect used car. There's already a product to help you find the perfect woman which is called 'Marie Sensor' and hope she's not a used product!!!! Know that she isn't and here are some pics form the event, there's also a CM which I may post at the end.




















 Usually end off with event pics but thought this last batch were a tad better than the above ones. Did mention how fabulous Marie looks in a kimono and for a few years she's been one of the main models for Suzunoya Kimonos. Last week they had had some brand new pics at their site for the 2020 Spring collection and it's a shame there's no CM from that company. Those CM's for the car company weren't that good as she had to share too much screen time with the two guys. But a superb video following the pics is from that Mantan Web interview mentioned above, Marie really looks stunning dressed in her kimono.
