Akari Suda: For those half dozen who also can never get tired of her....
Well, have used that title before and sure her total amount of fans here must be up to baker's dozen by now! Though not by much more but as I said in a post yesterday and many before that how popular a woman is here has nothing to do with who I do posts for. Actually seems so many of my massive favorites are anything but popular with you viewers though wouldn't say any are disliked and for three years Akari ๐ has been the best example of that! In the post below this one said I would work hard on having this post for Akari as it would mean for the first time ever my current top three women of all time would have posts all in a row. Did accomplish that and seeing as how that mini yet impossible to beat goal was done should I now hang up my blogging pen?!
One month isn't a long time between posts but at times it is for Akari, this is her first since August 4th. Could have squeezed one in but thought it'd be better to wait a tad longer but do have a solid start for her next post. The new photos today only go up to August 26th which was a week ago so hopefully there will be two more of these this month. For 2025 this is Akari's 21st post which means she's on a pace to hit 26 when the 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th. That 26 also happens to be the record for a year which was done in 2022 by Nene Shida and where has she disappeared to?! Akari has a movie coming out in seventeen days so there will be a post or two for that, then in October she celebrates her 34th birthday. At the bare minimum that brings us to 24 posts not including November so my guess would be the record of 26 posts in a year will be tied, I'm kind of torn whether I want to see that record broken... which would be okay if it happened for I don't think anyone in the future will come close to it.... er, anyone except Akari ๐ that is!
One thing I'm positive about is that for the second time Akari will be my #1 Queen of the year and didn't realize it until now but she came so darn close to making that achievement a hat trick! In 2023 she was number one and will do so this year again but the middle year of 2024 Akari was in the second position but number one for last year deserved that honor. The more prestigious honor is finishing in the top spot on my 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list, I do that every four years as a lot can change in that period of time and the third list will be done a year from now. As it stands right now Akari is in a dead heat with the woman who led off September with a post. In an odd scenario on that last All Time list the duo finished in back to back positions which were sixth and seventh. Most astute viewers know I'm referring to Yui K ๐ and as of now I really can't give the edge to either one of them. Besides being number's one and two on that next all time list they may also have those two spots on this year's faves list and did already reveal who #1 is this year in a rout....
For a while I was luke warm on Akari's short hair style when she cut it seemingly eons ago in the Spring of 2016. She did grow it back but up until the Autumn of that year it had been short like it is above but over time I have come to realize she looked so fabulous with shorter tresses! That you can see above, that is if your eyes can make it up to her head! Will have a magazine spread from that period a little later on in the post and there's also some old SKE cards below with her shorter hair. For ex-Idols try to include old group cards for the month we're in and September was not a month with a huge amount of cards so for her next post will have cards for some of SKE's classic singles. The bottom ones are from 2016 and as you can see Akari's hair was starting to grow back. There's also a few of her showing off those painting talents and it was the last time I volunteered to shed my clothes for one of her portraits... well, that's not exactly true... least for portraits she auctioned off....
On September 19th Akari has a film coming out titled "Otokogami" which looks to be an interesting flick that has a supernatural/eerie plot. Will have more about the film when it's premiere takes place, what I haven't been able to find is her 2021 movie "Uchihime Obakamiko", Akari had the lead in the film which is about Mahjong and I would love to see it. For this latest film Akari has done an interview to promote it with the Frag Lab site and sure there will be a few others soon. Below are photos from the site and here's the link to the interview: Frag Lab site
The "Otokogami" movie isn't one of those big budget pictures which is actually a good thing as those films are usually better than mainstream flicks. On August 26th Akari did attend a mini screening of the movie in Tokyo, wonder if any will take place in her hometown of Nagoya? Below are some pics from the event with the entire cast, it was a low key event so there weren't many photos from it. Akari does have the lead female role in the movie and while not a huge amount of pics from the screening after them is a video of it.
Above talked a bit about how Akari had cut her hair very short nine years ago and think I didn't warm up to new style is because it was such a shock at the time. Now I think her hair looked terrific and if she ever did shorten it again I wouldn't complain at all. In her last post had a dazzling spread from the Summer of 2016 of Akari ๐ with her shorter tresses, here's yet another from the July edition of BLT which was her first mag spread with her new hair style.
For the above spread Akari was 24 in age, her birthday is on October 31st and this year will be hitting the age of 34! But to me looks better than ever, that better part could also be used to compare her to 99.9999% of the Earth's women!!!! It being September have a mini mag spread for his month but this came out all the way back in 2014(!) for the GTV magazine. Akari did have about five spreads earlier this year for her second photobook but no recent ones.
Akari was an ambassador at this year's Jam Expo which took place last week, am holding on to those pics for her next post and it's the third year in a row she's had that position. As I often do will end off with a huge amount of Akari's ๐ IG photos for to me they're always so terrific and keep saying one day I will have a post featuring my top ones but she has too many to whittle down to just a hundred! Those first few photos are my faves and especially the second one, the ones after that are from after she attended that August 26th screening. Akari hails from Nagoya and still lives down there, some of the below pics are from the city's Sea Life underwater world. She had been there with her fan club, Akari's next event for that group will be for her October 31st birthday and after the pics is a trailer for the "Otokogami" movie.
