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: Still in a 'too close to call battle' for this year's #1 fave....

 


 Semi slowdown for some of my bigger faves as of late, few did have some posts last week but many have kind of disappeared. Marie never quite disappears though she's slowed down a tad too as this is just her fourth post since the beginning of August. But for the third year in a row she'll have more posts than anyone but can she set a record once again for them? Don't think so as time is running out, a 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th. This is her 22nd post of the year, in 2020 she set the record with 26 and just can't see her having another 4-5 in eight weeks but if someone can do it....



 For a long time it was mainly a two women battle for this year's top fave. But now there's a third added to the mix and it could go right down to the wire. Not going to play any faves when it comes to the positioning but will admit Marie is my top gal of the trio, it could come down to who will be the busiest of the three in the next two months. This is the first year ex-winners have been eligible, Marie was #1 last year and will start the countdown of my top sixteen at the end of November.



 Haven't seen Marie in a drama since the 'Hinekure' show ended in June, she will be in an Asadora series but that doesn't begin until next year. Also seems as though it's been eons since she last attended an event and think her last one was in April. So let's go back in time for these pics from the May 18, 2019 'Girls Award' show and they've cancelled all of their 2021 shows.









 Have over fifty brand new pics for today but there's not too much variety as there's only four batches of pics but of course Marie looks her usual perfect self, first off is this set from the More site.










 Only mag spread for today is from More's November issue.







 Marie's 24th birthday takes place exactly three months from today which is January 5th and that'd be a perfect time for her second photobook! You can always depend on the Oggi site for new and terrific pics which is what these are.


















 Marie has never been all that popular here but her posts in the first half of 2021 were drawing more views than ever, sadly those views have really tumbled for her second half of the year posts. Will be ending off with today's top pics and they are truly fabulous, they're from the Uniqlo Autumn collection. Only recent video is a short CM for Laurier, that's after the pics.
