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".

Marie Iitoyo: Little bit of this and that....

 


 Five more posts until that magical number of one hundred is hit, predicted at the beginning of the year March is when it would be happening and still think there's a chance for that. At one time a hundred wasn't too magical but no actress/model has hit that figure in close to four years and it's much harder than you would think, especially for an actress. Last year Marie set a record with 26 solo posts or one every other week, she's right at the same pace in 2021 as this is her third post in six weeks. And for just the fourth time Marie's last post hit the top ten for most views in a month but have a feeling it was mainly because there's been so many fewer this year.



 As most know Marie was my #1 fave last year and the previous two years finished in the top five. For now would have to say she's the front runner to be my number one of all time when the second list of that is done which will be in about a year or so. First was done in 2018 and don't want to have the two too close together. Still undecided on whether to include faves who have been #1 on prior year's lists to be eligible this year. Think 2021 is going to be extremely difficult for many to hit the six solo posts to qualify, would also have to say she'd be the front runner for this year too if that happens.



 No new mag spreads and really not all that many activities since her last post which was a dozen days ago, But do have over seventy new pics for hopefully Marie's growing fan base here. The "ZIP" news/variety show has a new feature that began this month where they have a 'Friday Celebrity' guest on that day and guess who the first star was? Of course it was Marie and a few pics from her first appearance which was on the 5th.








 Few pics from the January 27th 'Denden Daiko' radio show where she was promoting the "ZIP" program and also her latest drama.








 That drama is "Kimi to Sekai ga Owaru Hi ni" which I'm enjoying immensely. Have recapped the first two episodes and with any luck will have the next pair this weekend. Marie plays the character of Kanae and the show is set in the city of Miura which has been overrun by Zombies! It's really been an intense show, didn't see enough of Kanae in the first two shows but her screen time has been increasing. Some screenshots from the first two shows and the bottom eight are from the third episode which hasn't been recapped yet.


















 Lately have been been including older event pics but no need to do that as the post will be ending off with some terrific new ones from an event held today. On February 28th Marie will be at the Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show and she always looks so stupendous at them.


 Marie has been a model for Oggi magazine since August 2018 and think she'll be the cover girl for their next issue. Do have some new pics from their site and that bottom one rates as A++++.









 Another pic deserving of an A++++ is this top one and these are newish from the More site.











 
 Actually all of the pics deserve at least a rating of an A++! We've hit the end and have some super duper pics of Marie from an event that was held today. It was to promote the new 'Tom and Jerry' anime film that will be coming out on March 19th. The movie is her second anime one and in it she voices two characters, the event took place at the E-Sports Studio in Ginza and there's still no audiences allowed at these events. Plenty of ultra superb pics from the event and following them is a short video of it, so nice to see Marie at a regular event which hasn't happened in many months.
