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".

Rika Izumi: Making a final push to be this year's number one!!!!
In the years 2017 and 2019 it was a close battle for the #1 position on the faves list, both times it involved two women. But this is the first year there's such a battle with three vying for the top spot, at this time I honestly can't say who number one out of that trio will be. But it's been kind of odd at how all three have been a bit quiet this past month, Rika has been a tad quiet too as of late but has had four posts since the beginning of September. So it just may go down to the final days on who #1 for 2021 will be and I do like the suspense as last year's winner had it sewn up by August. This weekend will be doing a semi intro post for the countdown but it'll be combined with something else. Which is that another record will be set for the fastest time it took to get a million views and it should happen by Sunday. Just set a new record in August with 109 days that it took to get a million views. Right now close to 34,000 are needed to hit 17 million, the record may be an unthinkable 100 days!!!!
There's been no bigger fave than Rika the last four years, also she's been the most consistent on the yearly list. Starting in 2017 she's gone third, fourth, sixth and fifth for an average position of 4.5 so she needs a second place finish to have a straight flush! Thought her posts would be slowing down this year but that's been far from the case, this is her twelfth post in this vein and also she's had eleven for dramas, 23 in all which is a record for her. These days making it to a hundred posts in an achievement as it's only been done once in the last four years by a non-Nogi member. But this is Rika's 71st post since July 2017 so if I'm still around the milestone will happen in about two years.
Rika could have had many more than 71 posts as they tend to be much larger than most others. Her last post was on October 10th for her 33rd birthday, like the two gals she's battling with for the number one spot she's been a tad quiet as of late but there's still close to fifty new pics. Plus have a few oldies so the total may be around seventy pics and am holding a few back. Wonder if the days of Rika doing gravure pics is over? For 2021 the only pics we've seen are regular modeling ones, she looks so classy and fabulous it's okay if there's no more gravure pics though will admit I'd love to see some more. So have a whole bunch of new modeling pics once again and that's mainly because the Autumn collections have been coming out such as this batch from Apuweiser.
In Rika's last post had many pics from the Snidel Autumn collection, have a few here that were missed and Winter collection pics should be coming out soon.
Almost every post has new pics from the Oggi site such as these.
Only mag spread for today is from the December issue of Oggi. While Rika has had more modeling pics than ever this year she has seen a decrease in mag spreads.
There's also been a decrease in events but that's been the case for everyone I post about, it's a shame as no one looks better at events than her. So let's go back to December 6, 2017 and Rika won a 'Yahoo Japan Search Grand Prize' as she was the model who had the most searches, many may have been from me! Here's a link to a video of the event and some stupendous pics: Event video
In that bottom pic you can se a few Keya members as they were the J-Pop group who had the most searches in 2017. Will end off with what are my top new pics of the day from Rika and it's for the Autumn anySIS collection. After the pics have a video for the September issue of Bijin Hyakka, had that spread in a Rika September post or think I did....
