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".

Marie Iitoyo: Sigh, just because I miss posting about her so much.... again!!!!

 


 Bit of an 'off year' for Marie and the #1 reason could be because of me(!), her standards over the years have become the highest of anyone. Perhaps an 'off year' but 98% of the women here wish they could have the same problem! This is Marie's 13th post of the year, that's a high total and she's tied with someone else for seventh place for most 2022 posts. However those thirteen posts really pale to what she's done the last three years, working backwards she's had 25, 26 and seventeen posts so you can why I have much higher standards for her than anyone else. This is also only her fourth post since the beginning of June, we'll cut her some slack as that was one busy pace she was on for three years.



 There's not going to be a three-peat for Marie this year as she was my #1 fave for 2020 and 2021. Those lists contained twenty faves but this year am dropping it to sixteen, for the last two months was wondering will she even make this year's list! Of course Marie has to though it won't be a top ten spot, besides those two number ones she's also finished fourth and eighth the previous two years. There just hasn't been as much variety of things for this year, the above two pics are from an Uniqlo post that was done in April and it was her top one of the year. Seems her posts were beginning to look the same, you could say that about today's but least I was able to do this for her....



 As I've been saying a lot lately every photobook has to have photos of them brushing their teeth! Neve did finish recapping Marie's 'Octo' drama though I did finish it about ten days ago. Recapped it up until the sixth episode, mid August, and then there was a three week gap for the seventh episode's subs. Then another three week gap for the last three shows and if I wrote the final four shows up it would have been two months after the previous recaps so just skipped them. It was a decent drama and I thought one problem was that she appeared in too many of them this year. Think the total was six and that meant not as much time for other activities.


 So while there's not many different activities for today there are 55 new pics and why hold on to them? The last six months Marie has only appeared in two different magazines and also has only done modeling work for those pair. One of them is More and have some superb pics from their site that have come out the past month.















 Marie did finish in the fourth position on the 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list though for so long thought she would finish in second. In that post for finishing fourth somehow didn't include this spread from the September issue of More.








 Marie has been an Oggi model since August 2018, the last six months she's only had mag spreads and modeling pics for them and the above magazine. This set is from their October issue.






 Her modeling pics at the Oggi site are second to none, these are all from September and will have October pics in her next post.


















 Final happening for today is from an event that took place on October 24th. Marie appeared on the red carpet at the 35th 'Tokyo International Film Festival' and she looked oki doki in my eyes. At the festival her anime film "Tunnel to Summer, Goodbye Exit" will be screened and it had it's official release on September 9th, Marie voices the lead female role of Anzu in the movie. Not enough pics from the event but after have s short video from it.
