Akari Suda: Sigh, I give up trying not to have posts for her.... the umpteenth version....

 

 Always begin off with some overly super duper photos for that post's honoree, sometimes it can be difficult though to choose just a few pics. You wouldn't think that would happen and it's extremely difficult for Akari as I have so many pics that are ultra perfect and it's hard to choose just a handful of them! By far she has the largest folder of pictures on my computer and there's really no one even close, think number two still trails her by over 250 photos!!!! There's a good reason for that as Akari has probably moved into the spot of being my #1 woman of all time 😍 and when I do officially anoint her with that honor I have a strong feeling she will never relinquish that crown....

 From early 2019 until the Spring of 2022 it was so difficult to do posts for Akari and I was a bit bummed out about that but what a turnaround she's had since May 2022. At the time she just had 25 posts but now has zoomed up to 75 of them so that means fifty in the last 34 months and no woman can top that amount.... or her!!!! This makes it six posts for Akari since December 1st so for the fifth time she's qualified for the yearly faves list and no one can top her high positions. For in the previous four times she's qualified her positions have been second, sixth, first and second for an average of 2.75 so it's probably been easy to tell for you alert readers that it was just a matter of tome until she became my all time #1 woman! 😍Akari still isn't too popular here and never will be though that will never me stop me from doing posts for her. At least her posts are seeing a slight increase in views and that's been going on for two years so her fan base is growing instead of decreasing which has happened to a few other faves of mine....

 Four already have the six posts needed to qualify for this year's faves list but am worried that this will be the lowest year ever for eligible women. Just did a post about eight days ago for Akari so of course there aren't a huge amount of new things, she's had four posts now in five weeks which makes old Nao here jump for joy! Though doubt if anyone else is and bet most reading this are about to flee for the hills(!) but if you can stick it out this should be another darn fine post for Akari. In her last post had some older SKE cards for March and for ex-Idols will post older group cards for that month. Have no more for March that haven't been posted so instead have some oddball cards which seldom get posted here and all look so terrific! So below are three cards for the SKE Bingo show which had only one season(?), then there's eight for the SKE Request Hour. Following them are six cards from October 2016 and they're for SKE's eighth anniversary. Last up are some from May 2022 when Akari gave her first solo concert, included them for I was wondering if she's stopped with her musical career as she hasn't had a concert for about a year.

 If you've been reading these posts you know that exactly a month ago Akari released her second photobook and it's sold a little over 4,000 copies in three weeks. That's not a bad total for an ex-Idol and I never thought she would have a second book as Akari's first which came out in July 2018 wasn't a huge seller even though it was such a tremendous book. This new book has the title of "Pluie" and she has bene making the rounds to promote it, there were three events for it but the last was eleven days ago and have posted those pics already. The ones below are from a Live Door interview and have the link to it, until reading it didn't know the book's title in French means Rain: Live Door site

 There's been three magazine spreads to promote the book but only one was good sized and was from the January 24th issue of Friday which is the set of pics below. Akari has never been shy about showing off her body and seems to me she enjoys doing gravure photo shoots so wonder if she's ever though of becoming a gravure model? Akari does do many other activities but mainly around the Nagoya area and modeling may make her more a national name, she would instantly become my #1 model!!!!

 About nine years ago or the Spring of 2016 Akari cut her hair quite short, at the time I didn't care for it but these days think she did look mighty fine with shorter tresses. But she didn't keep her hair short for too long as she let it grow back immediately and not sure why she did it. Akari did have a pair of ultra fabulous magazine spreads while she had the shorter locks, here's one which is from the July 2016 issue of BLT.

 Akari is now 33 in age and will be turning a year older at the end of October so wonder if being that age would prevent her from doing more gravure work? It very well could but I think she looks better than ever and she has done a lot of gravure modeling in the past plus does have a decent sized fan base already, have noticed that models these days are older than they once were so maybe that wouldn't be an issue and actually it's all more of me wishing, sigh.... Often end off with many superb photos from Akari's IG page but won't today as there is something else that could be slightly better. However these pics are still more than oki-doki and are from the last nine days, the second to last pic is from last Saturday's M League show which is about Mahjong and also features an ex Morning Musume gal. The bottom pic is a new one that will coming out on March 24th to promote Nagoya sports and Akari hails from Aichi which is very close by.

 While with SKE and shortly after her November 2022 departure Akari must have had at least fifty gravure magazine spreads which were so sizzling but oddly never once was there a video from the photo shoots. Her first one ever came out a year ago for the Bomb magazine and it just may be my top video ever! Akari's second gravure video is for her "Pluie" photobook and the setting was Ishigaki island which is just south of Okinawa. Below are some screenshots from the second half of the video which is after the pics and my minor beef is that it wasn't longer.... why not an hour DVD?!?!?!?!
