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.

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".
Whew, whole slew of those pics to end the post off with and they'll be tough to top for event pics of the year. Well, it was bound to happen and I'm not sad about it at all, actually am kind of pleased. That's of Erika finally getting hitched which happened on December 10th, she is 32 in age so did we fans expect her to remain single her whole life? Of course not and unlike so many others she went about it the right way and did marry a decent chap. Sure most know Tori Matsuzaka and it appears they had been dating for years but did an excellent job of covering it up.
So it was no shotgun marriage and I've always thought Tori would be a good catch for a woman. So though in a way you don't always like to see your mega faves wed least Erika ended up with a solid man and this won't be the end of her posts here. Usually don't keep posting about faves who get married but have made a few exceptions, for now will continue to have posts but they've kind of dwindled the past year. So will wait until Erika announces a little one is on the way but have a feeling that won't be for a few years, not many though I would think as she is 32 years old which is the same as her hubby.
Not a lot of variety for today but there are seventy new pics and the ones to end the post off with could be her best to date. Erika's last drama was the asadora "Scarlet" which ended last March, those series are so long the lead actress always needs an extended break. Can't say last drama any more as she had a new series begin yesterday which is "Ore no le no Hanashi", it looks like an interesting and fun show that I will be checking out if it gets subbed and don't know why it wouldn't be.
One mini mag spread for today which is from the February issue of Biteki. Erika doesn't appear in as many mags these days but she's still popular as she's usually the cover girl.
Speaking of Biteki almost did a post a month ago but just weren't enough things. On December 18th Erika was at their 2020 awards show and she won the mag's 'Best Cosmetic Wearer' award. What was a bit impressive is that their readers voted for the winners and nice to see slightly older women get recognized and she's still a beauty to me.
Will end off with the 'creme of the creme' pics so far for the year. On January 14th an ultra dazzling Erika was at the '32nd Japan Jewelery Best Dresser Award' show. The awards are given out to the best jewelry wearers by decades, those in their twenties, thirties, etc. and of course she won the award for best jewelry wearer in their thirties. Have never seen Erika look better and you don't need to be overly bodacious to be a mega fave of mine. Plenty of perfect pics from the ceremony and there's so many videos from it for a change will have a pair after the pics.
