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".

Riho Yoshioka: Does anyone recall who she is....

 


 This may seem hard to believe but this is her first regular post in a year, also the sixth anniversary of her first ever post. In December did have a Riho post for her sparkling 2020 photobook but there's been virtually nothing heard from her in close to a year. That's been an ongoing scenario with Riho over the years, some faves are difficult to post about but she's the Queen when it comes to large gaps between posts and I don't know why that is. This is actually a very small post but there's a fabulous new mag spread and know her fans would want to view it.



 Riho does have many fans here as not many other's posts are as popular as hers. Overall this is Riho's 36th post so she does average six of them a year but seems the majority of them were from 2016-18. She was in a pair of dramas last year plus a movie but they all came out in the first half of 2021, what has she been doing the past ten months? That is a mystery but have noticed Riho's activities seem to come in bunches, she'll be in two dramas and perhaps a film too over a four month period, then nothing for such a long stretch.



 So while this is one of the smallest posts of the year perhaps it'll break the ice and there will be a few more coming up. Riho was in a mini drama that aired from March until May 1st titled "Shizuka-chan to Papa" which kind of flew under the radar. She'll be in another series beginning on May 27th called "Isu" but just for the first two episodes. This Friday the film "Haken Anime!" will be released and Riho does have the lead role in it. Hopefully there will be some other newer activities so there can be a post soon which will have many pics from the premiere. The film did have a screening on May 6th in her hometown of Osaka, few pics from the event.









 One thing Riho did quite a bit of until 2020 was modeling, of course gravure to an extent but mainly regular modeling. Bet she worked with at least five sites but these days the total is zero and wonder why that's happened? I always thought she looked so darn good doing regular modeling pics such as these from the andGirl site.









 One other film Riho has been in this year was "XXXHOLIC", she played the role of Jorogumo and she still looks so mighty terrific to me. In case you didn't know it she turned 29 back on January 29th.



 So you can see what I mean about her activities. Riho was in a drama that began in March, then in April and May had a film but there's nothing else upcoming for 2022!!!! That's only a two month stretch for things and how I hope we're not about to go another too long period of not hearing from her. The "XXXHOLIC" film had it's premiere on April 29th, some pics from it.












 Will be ending off on a high note as Riho is the cover girl for the May 30th issue of WPB, it's been her only solo spread of the year and she still looks like a few trillion yen to me! So as mentioned her film "Haken Anime!" will be coming out on Friday, after the pics is the trailer for it.
