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".

Nao's 'Top Twenty of All Time Faves' list #2.... the wrap-up post....

 



Links to the previous positions




#8, Rika .... #7, Akari .... #6, Yui .... #5, Tsubasa


 Sure most noticed the list as it was much more popular than the first one done in 2018. Right above are all the positions and may refer to the numbers instead of names at times. So while I figured the stats out ahead of time most of my ramblings will be spur of the moment thoughts and hope that works out well. So the stats will be the ages, heights, etc. and will have some other tidbits. To me this worked out much better than the first list for after a month or so was wondering if some of the positions were correct? This list is right on the money to me and the only two positions I wonder about is of second and third, should they have been reversed and those two faves were that close.



 Lists such as these kinds you can't do that often, once every four years sounds just about right and will I be around in 2026 for #3? So am wondering if a list is done four years from now which faves on this one would also make that list? In my eyes would think its 100% certain that #'s 1, 4, 5, 6, 13, 14 and 17 would make that list. Also with a good chance to make a future top twenty would be #'s 2, 3, 8 and 16. Would love to see many others make it for once someone drops off they need to be replaced and that's much easier said than done. Of course Risa above, who was number one, will be on the next list but sadly Saki who was #1 on the previous list and ninth this time around will be a goner. Yes, her and others are such long time faves but they don't do nearly all that much these days and really don't want to live in the past too much.



 It won't be easy to replace anyone who drops off the list, by 2026 the requirement may be a fave needs to be 24 in age to be eligible. As of now would say this pair would be on that next list who is Yuki and Maria, both are extremely popular here but much can happen in four years.





 You know what I've noticed this year and bet many others have too. It's the lack of new actresses that have been introduced, seems like almost all the newbies this year have been gravure models and Idols. Nothing wrong with that but seems many of my long time fave actresses aren't as busy as they once were or have faded away and there's been no one to replace them. The two biggest examples of that are Haruka and Mio, she's so popular here but her posts have become a bit drab the last year. Both have made the yearly fave's list three years in a row but that won't be happening in 2022 and also for a while thought both would easily have made this all time list.






 So it'd be nice to see both of them make a return to their 'glory days' and also a few other actresses who I like a lot. It's kind of funny that the last two years have done more drama recaps than ever yet the amount of posts for actresses has decreased save for number's four and five on the list. Here's another newbie that could easily make the next list who is Risa and you viewers like her immensely! The only problem is that she's 28 in age and you seldom see a gravure model continue in that line of work when they hit the age of thirty but hopefully she's the exception to the rule!!!! Risa's had sixteen posts in six months and will have another one for her within the week.






 Enough rambling, have four years to go until list #3 so much can and will happen in that stretch of time. In about three weeks will have a preliminary post for this year's faves list and except for #1 every other position is wide open. On to a few stats and the average height for everyone was a little over 161 cm or 63.4 inches, actresses tend to be much taller than Idols. The shortest fave was Minami who is just a tad short of 150 cm but what a huge fave of mine she is, on the first list she finished in the second position! Second shortest gal was Kyoko who is 154 cm and she should also make that next list, why are such short Idols so bodacious?!?!





 There was a tie for the tallest fave and surprisingly one was an Idol. That's Risa whose height is 167 cm, only three current Idols made the list and seven are graduates. Tying her for the top spot was Marie and didn't many think she would be number one for so long? She's had a semi tough year as far as posts go which stuns me to an extent as no one has had more posts the last four years then her.





 More Marie whose post had the second lowest amount of views with 475. However that's much higher than Tsubasa who was in the fifth position and her post had only 410 views! Most posts had 600+ which was much higher than the first list, sure a month or so down the road a few will have over a thousand. But will give them a bit of a break as a post done in August will have more views than a post done a month later. Hmmmm, then again Miyuki in the third spot already has well over 600 views and one reason is that may have been the best of all twenty posts.





 It was such a close battle for the most popular post. In second place with 781 views was Miona but I may have to call it a tie. That's because Yuika in the 15th position has 787 views to date but her post was done four days earlier and because of that she just edged out #13.





 It's been a long enough post so will end off with this final stat. The average age was 28.3 years old, eight were thirty or older while another three were 28 or 29 in age. Once again Yuika is #1 in a category as she turned 35 on September 8th, the second oldest will be hitting the age of 34 on October 11th. Twelve days after that the youngest fave on the list will be turning 23, that's Yui and you had to be that age by the end of this year to be eligible.
