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 Hamabe: Her triumphant return?

 


 It is a return after a five month gap in posts and most of the blame lies with me. You ever grow a bit tired of someone or something? Sure almost everyone has and that was the case for Minami with me. She had become a biggish fave of mine and she had eight posts by June 9th. But for some reason was getting a bit tired of her and can't give a good explanation of why that took place but she's not the first person it's happened to. So was going to start doing posts again for Minami around August 29th which was her birthday. But that old saying 'Out of sight out of mind' came into play as she wasn't too busy in the Summer but there will be at least two more posts by the end of the year.



 A post in December will be for Minami's first photobook which came out at the end of October. Have the book which are best pics to date, try to wait at least two months before posting photobooks as not to affect sales. Right around Christmas sounds like a good time for it, may be the best present you'll get! For a while was wavering on whether Minami will make the yearly fave's list but think it's fairly certain she will. Not a top ten spot but probably just a position or two lower, the four pics above are from the photobook.



 Wouldn't be surprised if those two are next to each other on the list. Have around fifty new pics for today but holding many back for her 'fave's list' post, that should be in the first week of December. Minami has done more modeling work than ever this year, no doubt it's because she's getting slightly older and is looking mighty fine. Have two batches of recent modeling pics for this post and the first set is from the Voce magazine site.












 Minami does quite a bit of modeling for Kimonos and she for many years. This fine set of pics are new from the Kyoto Kimono site for Yuzen kimonos.















 Minami's next drama begins in January and is titled "Dr. White", I've seen almost all of her dramas but her last few have only been so-so. But this drama looks to be an interesting, mysterious show which I'll be checking out, more info on it in upcoming posts. Minami was never much of an Instagram poster but she's changed that this year, some recent pics from her page.












 We've hit the end, still have to use Touchpad for a lot of typing so been making these posts a tad smaller. This final batch of pics has some terrific pics from Minami's photobook and is from the November 5th issue of Flash. After the pics is a new CM for Final Fantasy. and also here's the link to her YT channel: Minami's YT channel
