Akari Suda: Has once again volunteered to save the d̶a̶y̶.... WEEK!!!!

 


 Sorry for going almost four days without a post, know you viewers must be bummed out when you visit and there's no new posts. I too get bummed when that happens and wish it never did but sadly these days it's happening more regularly and probably will in the future. I do work hard on creating posts out of thin air but even I have my limits and it can't always be done. So guess the future will be how it's been for a while, could have one week with a dozen ultra superb posts and then the next week am scrambling to just have two! The amount of women I post about keeps dwindling and have mentioned that before, when I look back a decade to 2015 there's only two women from then who still get posts on a consistent basis, that would be Akari and Miyuki. Perhaps you could add in Mai Shinuchi and I like that trio more than ever, while they did have posts ten years ago it wasn't all that many and the amount of posts for that trio has increased by a huge amount since they left their groups. The trio also share something else besides being massive faves of mine and that's of their ages, Miyuki turned 32 a week ago. On Halloween Akari will be hitting the age of 34 and so won't Mai exactly three months later and I much prefer doing posts for women around that age for so isn't ol' Nao here! There are two other women who I could have had posts for but trying to space them out for the pair, both will have their next posts in 7-10 days.



 However spacing out posts for Akari 😍 is one thing I never do for it's impossible for me to get too much of her! She just had a post eight days ago yet have at least fifty new photos for today plus some oldies so once again Akari will have such a large and ultra magnificent post! Have mentioned often how she's in a battle with Yui for being my number one all time woman but it's going to be tough for her to pass Akari though it's not impossible. We'll find out who my all time #1 gal is in a year and those two have really left everyone else in the dust which is a shame. For I would have liked to seen more than a pair duke it out for being my number one but sadly so many have fallen by the wayside the last few years, as often said the amount of women I can post about keeps dwindling. The biggest shame is Risa who was my #1 for so long and eight months ago disappeared, she's only 27 in age yet did she retire without a word?



 Another thing I've said often in her posts is that Akari 😍 will never be popular with you viewers and I've never understood why? Can understand why she's not a massive favorite of most viewers but why do her posts receive less views than any other woman here? Least the posts have seen an increase this year in views and how unpopular a woman is here has never nor will ever make me not do posts for them. I have my smallish group of mega faves and that elite harem will get posts until this blog ceases! This makes it 23 posts for Akari for 2025 and she started out a bit slowly but has made up for lost time. The record is 26 posts for a year which Nene did back in 2022, can Akari get three more by November 30th to tie the record? YES would be my prediction on that, also think a new record of 27 could easily be done so that would mean two posts for both October and November, wonder what the Vegas odds are of her surpassing the old record is????



 As usual have a little bit of many things and Akari's posts have more variety than most other gals. First off are these older SKE cards and all are brand new for here! Have almost exhausted my supply of monthly cards so am having oddball ones that had never been posted before, should be able to keep these new ones coming for a while. The first five below are exactly seven years old(!) and are cards from an SKE September 15, 2018 concert at the Nagoya Century Hall, Nagoya is the group's home base.

 Don't think I had ever posted non-solo Akari cards meaning there were none with other '48' members. The other eleven are of her with others and all are from 2017, in the sixth card Akari is with Juri and while not my favorite AKB member if I could choose one of their gals to be stranded on an island with it would be her! Unfortunately she left AKB almost seven years ago to become a K-Popper, her career was somewhat successful until 2023 and not sure what she's been up to since then, probably not much or would have heard something. Jurina is in a few cards below and it became almost impossible to do posts for her. But two weeks ago she did release her second photobook and have been keeping tabs on her much more closely the last few months so hope to have a post for her in October.

















 Besides cards and photos you also learn so much about SKE, AKB and J-Pop in general in these posts! The sites and blogs for J-Pop have really dwindled the last few years and besides me there's very few who have this kind of blog... actually am thinking there is no one else but me! Am not bragging about that as I wish there were a few more in this vein as I'm someone who enjoys visiting other sites though not so much these days for there are none....

 No recent magazine spreads for Akari and that of course has become too common but she did have about five earlier in the year for her second photobook. Akari's first came out near the end of July 2018 and here's a mini spread to promote it from the September 4, 2018 issue of SPA!. A big plus to being a bit older is that it means there's so many photos from a decade ago or older that can be posted.... hmmmm, wonder who will be the first forty year old to have a post? You could say Yumiko Shaku has been the first and only one to date as last year did a post with many of her current activities. How I wish this blog was alive when she was in her prime but I would have been about twelve in age....






 On November 1, 2023 Akari released her second essay book which was titled "Ganko" and it was a decent seller which I guess is why she had a second regular photobook this year. About a third of the "Ganko" book was of gravure photos and who can top Akari with those kinds of pics? Not many though I'm in the minority for saying that, here's another SPA! spread that promoted the essay book and is from their October 17, 2023 issue.








 On September 19th the film "Otokogami" was released, have viewed the trailer a few times and it appears to be a decent thriller. Akari has the main female role in the movie but not going to have photos from the movie's two premieres. Didn't find all that many but will admit I could have searched harder so will be doing that and will have as many pics as I can find in her next post as two premieres did take place in the same day. A lot of the film was set and shot around Aichi and the city of Nagoya which is her hometown. Below are some terrific pics from the Bezzy site and a new interview Akari did with them for the film. This was one excellent interview and highly recommend it for all fans, Akari talked about the movie, her career and how she feels approaching middle age! Bezzy site








 So while I don't have any movie event pics for today as said will have some in her next post, never mind that but also in that next post will be photos from an event Akari attended earlier today! Plus she appeared at yet another event on September 20th in Nagoya, she does so much goodwill work and promoting of her hometown area. Akari is an ambassador for the city's Traffic Safety Program, on the 20th she was at an event to help introduce their Autumn safety campaign! Know not many out there may care for these kinds of photos but I do and would allow Akari to put some cuffs on me any day of the week! She's appeared at many of these safety events over the last three years and after the pics is a short video from the event.... does she bring new meaning to the word Kawaii in that cap?!!!!
















 

 It's only been eight days since her last post but have a good amount of photos from Akari's IG page that's she's uploaded since that post. Usually end off with these but will have one more batch after this set. Of course all of the pics could be considered ideal but the third and fourth are my favorites 😍, also check out the last one. Akari is a co-host of the M-League show which is about the sport of Mahjong and the popularity of that really seems to be increasing the last few years, Akari is an avid player and turned many of her ex-SKE mates into champion players! The man dressed in black's name is Masato Hagiwara and he had the lead male role in the "Uchihime Obakamiko" movie that came out in 2021. Akari had the main role in that film which was about Mahjong, have never found it and would love to view it. Masato is one of my favorite actors from the past twenty years, he was so unforgettable in the "Cure" movie from 1997 and have seen him in so many other things.
























 As I mused about in the intro it's been such a struggle doing posts lately, will have some super duper ones coming up in the first week of October. However that's four days away and for now have nothing to post the next two days, the third day is the 30th and always take the final day of a month off. So will make this and if possible the next(last?) post for September huge so will end off with a huge amount of ultra scintillating photos of Akari 😍 and doesn't she sparkle more than any other woman?! Perhaps if this post has to be the lead off one for a few days on this home page it may garner Akari 😍 another fan or two, sigh(!).....
