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.

News and upcoming projects

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".

Manami Hashimoto: Her ultra alluring "Memories of Love" digital book, volume two.... plus a few other treats!!!!

 


 Have said on a few occasions how Manami is such a tease, can't think of one other actress and/or gravure model who has come so close to exposing herself fully yet never has! Not sure if that's something we should complain about it and she truly leaves so little for our imaginations to figure out. In a five year year stretch, 2015-20, did seventeen posts for Manami though could have done so many more and some of those posts you will be seeing over the next month or so. Not sure why I stopped posting about her back in 2020 though odds are high it's because she got married at the end of 2019. I usually don't do posts for woman who have got hitched but often do have posts for their activities before that happened.



 Know many viewers are so glad to see this mini revival for Manami posts for she was one of the most popular women ever here and seems she hasn't lost many fans. She was my first ever #1 gravure model 😍 and for some reason tend to forget about her when I do lists. Yesterday was talking about a possible list for my faves who are thirty or older in age and have never bee married. Manami turned forty back in August yet didn't get married until exactly five years ago when she was 35. These days we rarely see new gravure photos yet Manami is busier than ever as she does quite a bit of acting and appears on so many variety shows. Even when she was a FT gravure model she did appear in many dramas, she seemed decent enough to me but too often played a conniving, seductive woman.... then again she portrays that kind of character perfectly!



 That above photo is from Manami's last regular photobook that came out in January 2020. It's title is "Hug me in Hawaii" and did do a post for the book which to me was her best one ever. Yesterday did say posts needed more variety to them so for posts that feature books with less than 75 or so pics will be adding a few different things in. Such as events, regular modeling pics plus magazine spreads, have two of them for today and all those those pics should be new for here. Also have some photos from Manami's IG page but have noticed she's not a person who posts all that many. There are very few recent photos so have this mini batch from last November and December.















 At the time of those above pics Manami was 39 in age, you can see in the bottom one she was at a photo shoot and while it wasn't a gravure spread she certainly looked oki-doki to me! The pair of mag spreads for today will be from exactly ten years ago and what a popular model she was back then, first up is this set from the December 16, 2014 issue of Flash






 Even though she was the cover girl for the above magazine what a small spread that was. Manami is also the cover girl for the other spread which is from the December 1, 2014 edition of WPB. In a slight surprise it didn't feature outtake photos from this post's digital book.









 Was surprised about that spread for a week later, December 8th, volume two of this book was released and was published by the WPB magazine. Usually part two of a digital book is a continuation of the first volume but this was isn't, as a matter of fact to me this set is much better than volume one and the post for that was done four days ago. This set contains 58 ultra seductive pics, at the time Manami was thirty in age and though she began her gravure career at the age of twenty I thought after she hit the age of thirty is when she really shined! The books featured pics from a DVD photo shoot but couldn't find the video on YT but you do have enough sweltering pics of Manami in this post and how I despise YT these days 😠 .... Grrrrrrrrrr.....
