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.

News and upcoming projects

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".

Yume Hayashi: Her breathtaking "Yumemi Gokochi" photobook scans

Last year Yume made the yearly top twenty faves list finishing in the 16th position. At the time mentioned how she'll probably never make another list. That's only because the odds of her having six posts in 2020 was so unexpected, this is Yume's fourth post for 2021which is what she usually has. When I first skimmed through this photobook a few times it seemed a bit underwhelming. Don't know I got that impression for after many more views of it would have say it's my #2 photobook of the year or at least for ones I've seen.

Yume is extremely popular here and this sweltering book should end up being her most viewed post. It's her first regular photobook and it was released on June 4th. The photo shoot took place on the island of Okinawa and it was a decent seller as it was in the top ten for sales it's first three weeks. On to the pics which total 98, back on October 18th Yume celebrated her 26th birthday. Whew, truly some 'daring' pics and to me only a Hina member's photobook beats this out for 2021.
