Erika Toda: "Scarlet" asadora event pics and a tad more....

 Just Erika's second post since April and thought it'd be a while until we heard from her, now that we have think there should be plenty of goodies coming up soon. Erika has the lead role in the next NHK asadora, more info on that at the bottom of the post. Those morning dramas are only fifteen minutes in length but there's 156(!) episodes and they take a long time to film which is what she's been doing all these months. There's still much more filming to do but the majority is done and hopefully there will be a few more events promoting the "Scarlet" show.

 Those pics above are all from 2019 and isn't Erika looking better than ever? To me she is and this has also been a busy year for her as besides the drama she had two films come earlier this year, she also has another one coming out in two months. Have a few pics from the "Scarlet" homepage but there's actually very few of them there, think the reason may be is that there's still an asadora airing and the station may not want to promote it too heavily yet.

 Do have one new mag spread and she's the cover girl for the October issue of Voce.

 Next post will have more details about the "Scarlet" asadora aka morning drama but most of the action takes place in the late 1950's, early 60's. Her character's name is Kimiko and the setting is Shigaraki in Shiga prefecture which lies just to the east of Kyoto which is her home area. The filming was done there which is a main reason Erika has been absent for so long.
 On to the main subject for today's post which are some utterly terrific pics from a press conference for the "Scarlet" drama which took place on September 12th at the NHK Hall in Tokyo. Doesn't Erika looks so fabulous in these pics, she certainly does to me and has gotten more attractive with age. She was the only cast member at the press conference which is why I think there may be another event or two before the show starts on September 30th. Will be watching and posting about the drama though in all honesty don't know if I can make it through 156 episodes. Plenty of perfect pics here from the event, forty in all and could have had more. However there's no good video of it on YT so after the pics have a pair of recent CM's for Sunao which are definitely worth a view.
