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".

Minami Tanaka: Few recent happenings....



 Minami's "Sincerely Yours" photobook was released exactly nine months ago. Since then it's been in the top ten for sales every week which now totals 38! That's quite impressive but even more so is that it's about to top 500,000 copies sold, imagine how many more would have been sold if not for the crisis? That 500 K is a record for a PB and is there any way she could ever top such a feat? Probably not though perhaps if she had a book with a budget of zero for the wardrobe....

 This is Minami's first post since July 13th but her tenth overall for the year. She's ineligible for this year's faves list as she was number one last year and that happens to all winners. Very pleased to see Minami hasn't rested on her laurels which too many actresses, models or Idols do. Seems they often take extended breaks in during a year but Minami hasn't as she's remained busy all along, I'm the one to blame for not doing a post since July.



 In a little over two months from now Minami will be celebrating her 34th birthday. She's the oldest woman who I do a lot of posts for these days but doesn't she blow almost everyone away who is a decade younger? This year Minami has done so much modeling work and more than ever it seems, not many are ultra alluring pics but the set to end the post off certainly are. But I like the way she dresses as a 'normal civilian' though how many do you see like her walking down the street!? Do have some mag spreads but about half of the pics will be from modeling sites and the pics(to me) are all perfectly perfect(?) such as these from Apuweiser and all of the pics are from the past month.





 Could have had many more modeling pics but am saving them so there's not a huge gap between posts, these are from the Anysis site.








 This smallish batch is from the Mercury Duo site.






 Final set of modeling pics are these stupendous ones from VIS.











 From what I've noticed Minami has probably been in more magazines to date this year than she was in for the entire 2019. But have also noticed the spreads are a bit smaller but that could be because of the crisis as photo shoots for a long time were not allowed but think it's back to normal now. This first mag spread is from the August issue of Voce.






 This is what I mean by small spreads as Minami just had three pages in the October issue of Biteki but least looked her usual perfect self....




 Another smallish October set that's from More.





 Minami was an emcee at last Saturday's 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show though there weren't many pics so won't have any for today, perhaps next post. This much larger set is from the August edition of Maquia, may have had it in her last post but then again maybe not.











 Besides all of that regular modeling work for 2020 Minami has also done quite a few things for lingerie companies, you may remember her Ungrid pics that were out of this world. Now she's a model for Sweet-Peach John and these are her first ultra alluring pics for them, hope an avalanche of them will be coming out soon! Shame there's no video for Peach John so after the pics have a new one for the Noela Autumn collection.
