Akari Suda: Just because I can never get enough of her.... the umpteenth version!

 

 Was going to make this the first post of the day but flubbed up that idea as I wrote and published the below post in record time though that is a mighty fine post. The reason for wanting this to be done first was that I don't think I've ever done back to back posts for my top two women of all time and how I wish I could say top three women of all time but sadly the third appears to have retired. Of course Akari 😍 is my #1 of all time and actually the gap has widened a bit between her and second place. However Akari is still so unpopular here, have said how her posts do get more views than ever but that total is still so much lower than anyone else, to date she has the least viewed post for 2026!

 For many of my huge favorites a goal is to average a post per month for the year, sometimes it works out well and other times not so well. Akari is in a league of her own as my goal this year is to have two posts a month for her and can hear you viewers groaning!!!! She averaged that in 2025 and has two posts for January so it just may happen, actually the goal is to have two posts every month which is one every other week and can that be done? Averaging two posts a month is hard but not impossible, having a post every other week has never been done and just thought about doing that yesterday. So if that's a goal perhaps I better make these posts for Akari smaller to leave things for upcoming posts yet today could be her largest post in months!

 Gulp, certainly looks like Akari has started on her Valentine's baking early and hopefully that box is for me.... or at least the woman holding it!!!! Last year Akari had 24 posts, the record is 26 which was set in 2022. Someone else has 25 so that total from 2025 puts her in third place for most posts in a year and and if you go back a few years never thought would be saying Akari and records for posts in the same sentence! But she has a chance for yet another record and that's most consecutive months with a post. This makes it fifteen in a row, the last month Akari didn't have a post was October 2024 which is odd for her birthday happens on Halloween. The record of twenty months is held by the woman two posts down who has her own streak going of ten months so though the total amount of posts at this Blog keep dwindling other kinds of records for posts are actually increasing.

 Let's get to things as there's over a hundred of pics for today, most are new for here yet are actually older ones that had never been posted. First up are these SKE cards and am getting close to using up my once huge supply of older monthly cards, those are the bottom five. So in the future you won't be seeing nearly as many monthly cards for March, April, May, etc. but there are may other kinds. Such as the first twenty which were released in October 2021 and that was a year before leaving SKE. It was promoting Akari's first solo concert that took place then, she played a mini show of eight songs. That reminded me that we haven't seen Akari pick up a guitar and play a show in quite a long time, hope she's not giving up her musical career.

 A few times have said the last months have been slower for Akari but that's not the case at all, she's busier than anyone else in show biz and her activities have increased since leaving SKE in November 2022. Guess she's way overdue for a vacation but perhaps working hard and staying busy is what she enjoys more than anything else. If that's the case wish more J-Pop Idols would emulate her as staying busy as made Akari more popular than ever. Akari's third solo calendar came out in December, it covers the the entire year of 2026. She's held three events for it and one took place at the Hoshino bookstore in Nagoya on December 27th, only had one photo from it in her last post and doesn't she look even better than ever?!!!!

 Those bigger fashion shows are starting up and think there will be about seven between now and early May. Akari has attended a few of those but wish she was at many more, one reason that's not the case is because she's not a FT model for any magazine or fashion site. But she looked ultra super duper at the September 7, 2024 Autumn 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show and am mentioning it again for I found five photos that hadn't been posted before and those lead off this batch.

 No new magazine spreads and couldn't find any decent ones that came out in January many moons ago. So how about one from December as I didn't post this set last month, Akari was the cover girl for the December 5, 2014 issue of Young Gangan and that was over eleven years ago! Even though I prefer her newer pics and spreads this is truly one of her best sets ever and still am hoping that Akari wIll someday have a digital book or two.... or three or four....

 Last month Akari did say a goal she set for 2026 was to run a marathon and I never knew she was much into running, if so where does she find the time? The Nishio Marathon is the race she's going to enter and that takes place in March, Akari did run a mini race today of 5 km or 3.1 miles but never said what her time was. So with Akari making a goal guess I should too and that's of me finally doing a 'Pairs Post' for her and her best mate. Who is Yuria and the pair have been so close for at least a decade, they still hang out together and wish Yuria had stayed with AKB/SKE just a tad longer.... she truly is one of my biggest 'under the radar' favorites....

  One trait Yuria shares with her mate is a love of the Spirits though I prefer the pair in the second photo! We've almost hit the end but have one more thing after this huge batch and as is the rule here have many new pictures from her IG page, the last four are brand new with Yuria. Have said dozens of times how Akari's IG pics are somehow better than many photos from a gravure book and for today may have her best pics ever! For those top five could be tough for any woman to eclipse this year and at the age of 34 Akari still looks so amazing, better with each passing day!

 Now we've hit the end and in Akari's last post had some screenshots from the making of her "Pluie" photobook DVD. But I found a better version so have more screenshots and the quality is so terrific, also have the video after the screenshots. Dressed skimpy Akari 😍 beats almost every other women in the world yet I think the way she looks dressed in that yellow dress could be the best she's ever look so recommend viewing the video.
