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".

Risa Watanabe: Her breathtaking "Mikuchi" photobook scans....

Better late than never with this photobook but like to wait a while with them as not to spoil sales but this is a way overdue post. Hopefully it's the fist of two this month which hasn't happened for a while, should have one around July 27th when Risa celebrates her 23rd birthday. There will be a Keya PB coming out in August, first one in 23 months and also the first member book under their new Sakurazaka name. Was hoping one of the gals who already had a book would be getting a second one, that's not the case as it'll be a second generation member. But that's okay as the member does deserve a book which I'm looking forward to, will have her first solo post coming up very soon then. Still such a slow stretch for Keya, they will be performing two concerts this weekend but haven't been doing much else. This PB cane out on April 10, 2019 so as I mentioned am overdue for this post. It's been Keya's second best selling book at ~125,000 copies sold so was hoping Risa was in line for another, not so but wouldn't be surprised if she did eventually have another.

This is not the best of scanning jobs on a photobook but did edit the pics up so they do look fairly decent. Quite a few of the more sweltering pics you've already seen but at 116 pics this is a huge book so at least half are new plus it's nice to have them all in one post. Risa traveled to Miami and the Bahamas for the photo shoot and can remember when that top pic came out as it floored me as I never thought we'd see her do any gravure pics. On to the large set and for the last two years Risa was neck and neck with a Nogi gal for being my #1 current Idol, now that there's been a graduation would have to say she's number one.
