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: A (way too) little bit of this and that
I think this is a terrific way to start off a month with two of my bigger faves and actually in the case for this post it's my #1 of all time. However viewers may be rolling their eyes slightly as the pair are certainly not among the most popular women I post about, actually two of the lowest. The pair have another thing in common which is that they're both in the third season of 'Kimi to Sekai' whose final episode airs this weekend. The subber for the first two seasons said they would be doing this one too but that was five weeks ago and no word has been heard since. In a way the subs not being done yet aren't a bad thing to me. So much takes place in that drama so it's better to view many episodes in a row instead of waiting a week for the next show to be done, not positive but think the second season wasn't subbed until all the episodes had aired.
But think it's a bit harder to call Marie extremely unpopular these days though to others that's certainly the case. In 2020 her posts had an average of 410 views per post which ranked her 23rd out of the 28 women who had six or more posts. In 2021 she moved up one spot to 22nd and there were still 28 gals who had six or more posts for the year. However that average really zoomed up as it was 535 views per post which was a 30% increase and that may have been the highest of the year. All posts get more views than they did years ago but perhaps Marie has finally acquired some new fans and it figures then that I haven't been able to do more posts for her!
Though it's April 1st this is no joke when I say that Marie still hasn't qualified for this year's faves list though she just needs one more post. While five posts in four months would be a huge amount for anyone else it isn't for Marie as from 2019-21 she had 71 posts(!) or two a month, that pace will never be topped. It's not a case of her not being busy but most of of what she's been doing is filming dramas, big decrease this year compared to others for things like events, mag spreads, modeling pics, etc. But least we have a long way to go in 2022 though don't think she'll be able to defend her title of being my #1 fave for the last two years but hope she makes me eat my words!!!! On the bright side of things my cloning project has been going well, now have a Marie for every day in April....
Marie is also in the first season of the "Hiru" drama, the second will air right after the season one. But she didn't make an appearance in the first three shows though she's listed as one of the main stars, perhaps we won't see her until season two? Not all that many new things for today but enough for a post and least many of the pics are ultra fabulous. She has another new CM for KDDI which you can view here: KDDI CM
Marie also will have the lead female voice in an anime movie coming out this Summer, more info on that in future posts. She's been a model for the More magazine since at least 2019, some recent pics from their site.
Spring is now here so that may mean many more modeling pics will be coming out soon for Spring collections. This set here is from the May issue of More and you can see what product she's pushing.
Marie always makes an appearance at those huge 'Tokyo Girls Collection' shows, bet she's now been at twenty of them. Their last one was held on March 21st at the empty Yoyogi National Gymnasium Stadium but it was steamed live, she took her stroll on the Rosebud stage.
We've hit the end way too soon but this last batch of pics are overly stupendous. On March 28th Marie celebrated her third anniversary as an exclusive model for the Oggi magazine and these are all new from their site. All of the pics are truly perfect but especially those top two, following this set is a video from that TGC show and Marie's stroll as just way too short. But that was the case for everyone for at one time there used to be seven shows a year but since 2020 there's only been two annual ones.
