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".

Tsubasa Honda: Happy 30th Birthday!!!!!
Only a little over a day early for the birthday, less than that if you're in Japan and am I starting to feel a bit old! Not that turning thirty makes Tsubasa old but her first post here was in February 2013 for her "Piece" drama and that's still one of the top shows from the past decade. So that makes it close to 9 1/2 years since that first post and she's only woman who I've been doing posts for on a consistent basis since then. What a massive fave she's been of mine during that period and have often said if I was ever stranded on a desert island Tsubasa is the woman I'd want to be stranded with, still have that opinion after so many years. Perhaps even more so for doesn't she look better than ever these last few months?!?!
Time is zooming by too fast these days, in six weeks the second 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list will begin it's countdown, first list was done four years ago. Of course Tsubasa will be on it, on that first list she finished in the tenth position but she has an excellent chance of cracking the top five this time around! Will discuss it more in a pair of intro posts for the list but may make it with just sixteen faves. May sound difficult to believe with all of the women I post about but am having a hard time coming up with twenty faves! Just want the list to be the best of the best, while it's true I do have many current faves do I consider them to be truly elite or all time faves?
That bottom pic is a promo one for her next drama "Kimi no Hana ni Naru" though it won't be starting until October. For the most part birthday posts are just the same as all others, just tend to save up recent pics to have a post for that day. It's obviously too early to have any pics of her celebrating #30 but some from years past....
It's never going to happen but would love to see this trio share a few more pics together. As a matter of fact as far as trios go these pics could be considered unbeatable as all three will be making the top ten on the fave's list and for now would have Risa #1. Though she's been a bit quiet this year Yui has really zoomed up on that list and could be eighth or so.
This is Tsubasa's seventh post in less than three months so it's not a large one or least it didn't seem that way. Am holding back one spread so there can be a post in July, she may be absent for a while soon to film her upcoming drama. This batch are new pics from the More magazine site and in the last few years she's really cut down on her modeling work.
Some of those above are 'clean version' pics of her spread from the July issue of More.
Tsubasa is often the cover girl for the magazines she appears in but didn't have the honor for any of today's sets. Have two spreads here which are both for Spring, top five are from their July issue while the others are for August.
"Fullmetal Alchemist: Final Transmutation" is the title of Tsubasa's new film, it's the third of a trilogy and here's the link to the Real Sound site for an interview she did for the film: Real Sound site
And lastly the film was released yesterday but didn't have it's premiere until today. The event took place at the Marunouchi Piccadilly in Tokyo, the previous film in the series was only a mild success as it was ninth at the box office it's first week out. One thing I've noticed this year and it's been hard not to is how fabulous Tsubasa has looked at events, every single one she's attended this year has left me breathless and today's are no exception! This premiere just took place earlier today so there's only one video from it, it's 35 minutes long so won't post it. But instead am feeling a bit nostalgic so let's go back in time for one of Tsubasa's overly superb Non-no videos, it's a must watch if you're a Keya fan as it's from the photo shoot for those pics near the beginning.
