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.

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".
Still been having a problem with completing many posts, a week ago the total was five and now it's doubled! Which isn't the worst of things as it does mean there should be a slew of them coming out soon and hope to have half of them done by the weekend. Ema's first post was done eight days ago and she's become a favorite of many of you viewers already. It often takes some time for a newbie to become popular but that hasn't been the case for her. As mentioned in that first post Ema is like so many other newer gravure models as she got a late start to her career which means there won't be many older things in these posts. Have enough pics for one, perhaps two more of these posts plus have her photobook but nothing else so we'll need for her to step up on her activities.
Ema turned 25 back on July 31st, that was also close to her first anniversary of becoming a gravure model. So in that first post had her 2021 spreads and some other goodies, will have more of the same for today which means some sweltering pics! "Soleil" is the title of Ema's first photobook, it was released on September 22nd so will wait a while before posting it. Here's a few photos from the book and will say it's one of the top ones of the year.
To promote her first photobook Ema did an interview with the NB Press site and did learn a few things about her, here's the link to it: NB Press interview
Few recent IG pics but Ema's been posting more videos than pics lately.
In Ema's first post had four mag spreads, have six left so will have half of them for today and the others in her third post, as mentioned we need to see some new ones from her quickly! First set of today is from the February 21st issue of WPB, that first post had all of Ema's 2021 spreads but think I may have missed one or two and am hoping that I may have.
Way too small spread from the February 14th edition of Young Magazine.
Final Ema set for today is from the June 7th issue of SPA!. After the pics is a video from the photo shoot for Ema's "Soleil" photobook which I do highly recommend viewing....
This has been a very frustrating day. Tried working on five posts and couldn't complete one of them(!), least I have the beginnings of five which you will be seeing soon enough. But luckily had the pics for this post waiting in the wings and thought it was finally time to introduce Ema who I think all will really like. Over a year ago did think about doing some posts for her but it's a good thing I held back. She had three mag spreads which you'll see today but then kind of disappeared for a few months so it would have been that first post and then none! But she's been so much busier this year and this will be the first of four posts for Ema though will space them out a bit.
Those four pics above are from her first photobook that came out on September 22nd and is titled "Soleil". Seeing as how it's newish won't be posting the book for a while but it's one of the top ones for 2022! Ema turned 25 back on July 31st and like so many gravure models I've introduced the last two years she didn't get into that line of work until she was a bit older. Her first gravure spread was in June 2021 which was only a month before her 24th birthday so you won't be seeing many older pics. And like so many other gravure models Ema has a college degree, she graduated from Asia University and her major was economics. Still can't believe how many college grads have become gravure models, does it really pay that well?
Ema's height is 158 cm and she hails from Iruma which is in the prefecture of Saitama. Most intro posts tend to be on the smaller side, what they mainly do is break the ice for that woman who will hopefully become a huge fave of mine and you viewers! So the only thing for today will be a few mag spreads but they all rate an A++++, just wish they were a bit bigger. First off are some IG pics which are all from June and July, she has so many could just do a post for them!
Ema's first ever mag spread was in the June 21, 2021 issue of WPB. Did say that her spreads are a bit too small but not this set which is the largest by far.
Also on that date Ema's second mag spread came out but at only three pages why'd they bother(?!), it's from Young Magazine.
One more set from 2021 which is from the September 21st issue of Flash.
Will end off this first post with another mini spread that's from this year and the July 29th edition of Friday. Though Ema's June 2021 spread for Young Magazine was only three pages there is a terrific video from the photo shoot which is after the pics.
