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".

Kyoko Saito: Her mesmerizing 30th post....

 


 As mentioned in a few recent posts seems every Idol photobook has to have a photo of them brushing their teeth! Won't be happening soon but having a post with the top pics of that activity would make for an interesting one and let me work on that for a while. In many of Kyoko's posts have moaned about how can she possibly have only XX amount of solo posts?! As you can see it's now up to thirty, went back to check and that total is correct. It shocked me that she only had three solo posts going into 2020 as almost everything up until that point were in Hina group posts. But in 2020 Kyoko had seven solo posts, that increased to nine last year and for 2022 we're already up to eleven, hopefully can squeeze another one or two in before the 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th.



 With that increase in posts Kyoko has been steadily moving up on the yearly fave's list. In 2020 she was 17th but looking back she could have been a few positions higher. She jumped all the way up to sixth last year and as of now would have her in the third spot for 2022! It won't be easy but there is an outside shot of her moving up and my top three have kind of run away from the pack these last few months. In 2021 Kyoko was the most popular woman here among you viewers and that's determined by how many views their posts get. She won't be repeating this year but she's still immensely popular and would be shocked if she didn't finish in the top five.



 Not a massive post as far as new pics go but do have a little bit of many things. In some really tremendous news Kyoko will be the cover girl for the ninth volume of BLT White Graph. That's like a mini photobook which has many Idols in it, their pics are so fabulous and a Nogi member has been the cover girl five times. The book doesn't come out until November 22nd, some promo pics for it.




 The Autumn 'Girls Award' show was held on October 8th, Hina did perform a few songs but was surprised no members took a stroll on the catwalks. There's a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show being held on November 19th in Kitakyushu and once again didn't see any Hina members listed to attend though some from Keya and Nogi will be there. Here's some old pics from the October 2019 Kitakyushu show and never did do a post back then for the Hina gals from the show. 








 Have even more pics from 2019 that had never been posted, none for any of the three '46 groups so you'll be seeing many more in the future. 'Otome Kagure: Zambi no Requiem' was a web game that began in the Spring of 2019 and featured some members of the three groups, just their voices though. There was even a stage play and of course a Nogi "Zambi" drama from that year which may have been their best series. No Hina or Keya members were in the drama and aren't we overdue for a show from those groups? So have a few of Kyoko's promo cards for the game which has ended, she voiced the character of Karen there's that something about her holding a machine gun in a wedding dress....











 Kyoko always posted many pics at the Keya blog but has been doing more than ever though of course these days the pics are from her IG page which she opened back in April.

















 For the first time Kyoko is the center of a Hina single. 'Midnight' comes out in four days and hope I can have a group post next week. Will be on the hunt for some older Halloween pics and seems like she has more than anyone else in the group, top pic is new for their 'Mysterious Library' game.












 Don't think this was in Kyoko's last post which is a tiny spread from the October issue of ar.





 Will end off with this set and Kyoko is the cover girl for the October 27th issue of Young Jump. there's a few pics from the photo shoot mixed in. Not surprisingly there's no new decent solo videos and that's the case 98% of the time for '46' members. After the pics have a 2019 CM for Mechakari which I don't think has been posted before.
