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".

Minami Tanaka: Her historical(?).... Happy 34th Birthday post!!!!

 


 The official date is the 23rd but no sense waiting until the last minute, especially when this will be one of the top posts of the year. Can't think of a better person to have a post for either as the top twenty countdown will be starting in a few days. Minami was #1 last year and that battle for the top spot was the closest one ever and it really could have gone to he other gal. But think I made the right choice as Minami has remained a busy woman as this is her twelfth post in elven months. Being number one means you're ineligible for future yearly lists but almost changed it this year to allow them with the main  reason being didn't think twenty faves would qualify. But the end total was 27 so perhaps next year will think about it again, if she was eligible this year think she would have been between fifth to eighth.



 At 33 years in age Minami set a record for being the oldest #1 and don't think that'll ever be broken. Now she's 34 and is the second oldest woman I post about on a regular occasion and the one slightly older also had a birthday this month. Another clue is that she's the star of the "Daughter of Lupin" drama and will be doing a recap for episode five soon. That's because Minami made another guest appearance on the series, she did in season one and those above are from it. But these pics from season two are just beyond amazing and will have the recap coming up soon.



 Whew, not many adjectives can describe those pics well enough, whew!!!! Have a good variety of things for today, some modeling pics, mag spreads and in a surprise many pics from a recent event. This will be a large post but am holding some things back such as modeling pics. The ones I have for today were also held back when Minami's last post was done so expect another post next month. None of the pics are as sweltering as the above ones but I think these are all superb, this first set is for the Misch Masch Winter collection.









 More Winter collection pics from the Snidel site.















 One last batch which are from Vis and will have a huge amount in her next post.






 Do miss Minami's Ungrid modeling pics, these came out in the Summer but none since then.






 Am going to hold back the best and largest spread for Minami's next post. That's because it's for a January issue and it's too early for me to think about 2021 as it's not even Thanksgiving yet! But do have a trio of them with this first set being from the October issue of More.





 Second spread is from the December issue of Maquia.







 That spread being held back is from Ginger, this set is from the December edition of Voce. Oooops, saw that there was a fourth spread so that next post many be another classic.








 When I had those Ungrid pics above almost forgot to mention these Minami dazzling ones from Peach John which also came out in the Summer and where are more of them!!!!






 Hopefully this is the beginning of many events and it is that time of year for many award shows and such. On November 3rd an utterly dazzling Minami was at the '2020 Nikkei Trendy Magazine' awards show and she was chosen as their 'Face of the Year', could have added in 'Body of the Year' too! The award was mainly because of her beyond perfect "Sincerely Yours' photobook which is approaching 500,000 copies sold which is mind boggling. 


















 After the pics have a short video of the event and she really does look so fabulous at 34 in age. Mentioned the "Sincerely Yours" photobook which is the best selling one of all time and how can Minami top something like that? She probably can't so i wouldn't shock me if that ends up being her only book. Posted the pics from it back in March and it'll end up being the second most viewed post of the year, if you missed it highly recommend checking it out here: Minami's PB
