Akari Suda: Her somewhat epic.... 'Happy 33rd Birthday' post.... part two....
Only somewhat epic as this won't be as large as I was hoping it would be but so often when I think that way it does turn out to me a massive post, especially the ones for Akari. A bit further down will have possibly the best news of the year which actually won't be happening until next February but it does make her the early favorite to be my #1 woman again for 2025.
No woman has had more posts than Akari 😍 over the last 2 1/2 years and at one time thought that happening would have been impossible. One reason is she has been much busier compared to the three years prior to 2022 but more importantly there's no woman I've worked harder at having posts for. Now the problem is am running out of older things to post post about but if I could do one a month that would be fine by me but I expect two a month until next March. So am thinking Akari's next post will be in December and for her position on this year's faves list. Odds are at 98% that she will be in the second spot so no two years in a row as my #1 Queen, there's nothing wrong with second though as she also finished in that position for 2018. Hmmmm, was just thinking she may me the only woman from that year to be on the upcoming list, two others had a chance but just won't make the cut.
Let's get to things and though some of the pics for today have been in previous posts bet many have never been seen by you viewers. Which is because Akari has never been all that popular here outside of an odd post here and there, last year her posts had the lowest average of views for anyone(!) but least she has seen an increase in those views for 2024. Will begin off with some older SKE cards for October and November as I didn't have any for October in that first birthday post. Did title this as her second birthday post but for the most part it's a regular one.
Back in August 2018 Akari released her first and only regular photobook "Kawaikunaru Houhou" which I thought was one ultra fabulous book! So fabulous that out of the hundreds of books I've posted here had it ranked as my fifth favorite of all time! What was so baffling was that the book wasn't that impressive of a seller, in it's first month out sales were only about 12,000 copies sold but sure the total must be over 15,000 by now. However the publisher had printed 30,000 copies so they weren't too happy and because of that no one ever expected to see another book from her. If you've never seen the book here's the link to the post and below are some pics from it:
So in a major yet very pleasant shock it was announced three days ago Akari would be releasing her second photobook! Of course there's very little info as of now but the release date will be next February 19th and the photo shoot took place on the isles of Okinawa. So that is some fantastic news and why she's the early front runner to be my number one woman for 2025 as a books always mean many mag spreads, promo pics, interviews and an event. Below are the first three advance pics that have come out and Akari has said the book will be having her most Nude pics to date..... gulp.....
Akari has also released two essay books, her second came out last November 1st and was titled "Ganko". That was a decent seller as it was in the top ten for sales in it's first three weeks out so perhaps the success of that is why her second photobook will be released, that second essay book also had a mini gravure section. Some of those outtake pics are in the spread below which is from the October 17, 2023 issue of SPA!. There was no new mag spread for today so why not have another viewing of this one as it was so terrific, especially the first and last photos.
Akari was at an event ten days ago but had so few solo pics will skip discussing it. As is often the case for her will end off with some new photos from her IG page as they're always so stupendous and I often think these are better than most women's magazine spreads. Many of the pics are from a November 2nd event which was a fan club one for her 33rd birthday which took place on October 31st and it was also to celebrate her 15th anniversary in show biz as Akari passed the SKE audition in November 2009 and as the saying goes the rest is history!!!! There being no new video isn't a surprise and am really hoping there will be some for the photobook, a dream would be a very long DVD of the photo shoot! So after the pics have an oldie yet a goldie video and if you've ever wondered what her morning routine is.... gulp again as that bathtub segment left me 😍 ....
