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.

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".

Marie Iitoyo: Few recent happenings....



 Nice beginning to June as there's been six posts in two days, no way that pace will keep up but it should be a better month than May. And what's fabulous about the posts is that they all feature a huge fave of mine with five of them in line to make this year's top twenty list. If there's going to be rash of posts than there's no way you can leave Marie out who is my current #1 and has held that honor every day this year. This is already her 20th post of the year though eight were drama recaps.
 Hadn't been thinking about the top twenty faves list for a few weeks but did for a few moments before I began this post. As mentioned Marie is currently number one and it seems the top five are so far ahead of the next five, also seems as though the top ten is set save of positioning but there's a long ways to go in 2020. After that top ten is where there's a huge drop off or at least it appears that way to me. At the end of July will be doing the first official preliminary list and while there may be so many gals eligible for the top twenty list that doesn't mean they would make it.



 This is Marie's 75th post and while a few other gals have a few more she'll no doubt be the next person to hit the milestone of 100 posts which these days is a rarity. Still can't believe none of her posts have ever hit the top ten for views, perhaps I should take two weeks off from posting, leave this one at the top and see if it accumulates enough views to hit the top ten!
 Don't think that one hundred post milestone will be hit this year, thirty weeks are left and 25 posts are needed. In a normal year it may not have been impossible but with this slowdown on activities that one hundred mark probably won't be hit until next March. Marie's posts are never huge ones though at fifty pics or so hard to call them small. There's been a ban on events for the past three months which has really affected Marie as she attended so many of them, have no clue how long the ban may last and  maybe a viewer can give me any news they may know of. But there was a mini event held on May 27th at the Saitama police station.
 There Marie and a few other actors were promoting a campaign called 'Stop Oleore Scam 47 Family Bond Operation' or SOS47. There's scammers everywhere and what they had been doing was scamming people into giving $$ to some bogus virus charity organizations, probably happening in every country. Not the most dazzling of pics but good to see her 'live' for the first time in months. Sigh, it wasn't me she was conversing with in that top pic, sigh....








 The next 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show was scheduled for July 4th but have a feeling it'll be cancelled, their April 25th show was. Marie always makes an appearance at them and these pics are from their April 20, 2019 show held in Kumamoto that was a benefit for their earthquake. Too few pics from the show as she looked absolutely amazing....







 Marie had been starring in the "Kaseifu no Mitazono" drama that began on April 24th but think that's been put on hold after four episodes as they weren't allowed to film. These are some odd new pics from the 'Cast' site which is a fashion brand in Japan, perhaps elsewhere too? You may recall last July she was in a mini YT movie from the company that lasted a little over twenty minutes. Plus she had many fashion pics back then which looked so much better.








 Marie is an exclusive model for the More magazine, she usually has many new pics at their site but there were only two recent ones so skipped them for now. However she does have a superb spread from their June issue.







 Am back, not that you knew that a long break was taken but had been interrupted by someone....


 Don't think that break was long enough, gulp.....

 One place as usual that does have many new fabulous Marie pics is the Oggi site.











 Shame no events can be held as this Saturday Marie's film "Stare" is coming out on DVD. It originally came out on January 10th, she had the lead role in it and it was her first horror flick. Will end off with this set of pics from the July edition of Oggi. No recent videos so after the pics have the trailer for the "Stare" movie and I can't wait to view it.
