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".

Erika Toda: A (way too) few recent tidbits....

 


 Bit of an 'oldies day' as even though Erika is 32 in age she'll be the youngest gal of today's trio of posts! Won't be doing the third for about seven hours but that will be one delicious treat, it's for her 34th b-day, the other gal who has the above post is 41 and all three are such massive faves of mine. Think the smallest post this year for new pics had 25 of them, this doesn't beat it by much as there's just 28 but have a few older ones to bump the total up to forty. Erika just had a post about three weeks ago which is why this is a bit of a small one but whenever there's a chance to have a post for her jump at the chance as this is only her third one of the year after having close to twenty the previous two.



 At the end of March Erika's "Scarlet" asadora wrapped up it's run, she took a well deserved break as those series air for six months. But haven't heard a peep on what may be coming up next as it's now been eight months since that drama ended and she's not usually one to go so long without appearing in something. Hopefully that'll mean 2021 will be a busy one but have noticed her activities have slowly increased the past two months.


 First off is an older spread that was missed and is from the October 2, 2019 issue of Kansai Walker. Erika does come from that region as she hails from Kobe.




 What I've noticed is that Erika has really been increasing her modeling work and did have some of those pics in her last post. Have a few more for today and wonder if it's hard competing with gals a decade younger? This small set are brand new pics from the Vogue site.




 Another small batch from the Elle site.






 And even more new pics which are all superb from the Maquia site.






 Don't think this spread was in Erika's last post which is from Maquia's December issue, even if it was it deserves an encore viewing.






 The past few years Erika has done a lot of work for the Lancome beauty company. She's been at four events and always looks oki doki to me at them. This batch is from a February 26, 2018 event for them and bring up that because....









 .... she was at another event for them on November 12th but sadly there aren't enough pics. The occasion was for the opening of a Lancome 'Virtual Holiday Store' which will be open until tomorrow. At the event Erika said she hasn't been doing much of anything because of the virus and mainly has just been relaxing at home reading books and watching her huge collection of DVD's. Not as many pics as I would have liked but after them is a video of the event.
