Akari Suda: For those half dozen who also can never get tired of her....

 

 Have used that title before, not much has changed since I first used it but perhaps by now the total is up to seven! In the post below this one mentioned how I was working on a different post but put that on hold to write up that one, when I get a yearning to do a post for someone it's almost impossible to stop me! This was that delayed post and it's not often I put Akari 😍 on hold for a while to do a post for someone else and that could have been the first time.... hopefully the last!

 Of course everyone who visits here often has noticed how there's fewer posts than the previous year, in 2025 there were fewer than 2024, so on and so on. But least the posts to me seem to have been better than ever and Akari continues to have the largest of anyone which is so impressive considering how there's never any photobooks in these posts. Akari has been my #1 woman two out of the last three years and in the middle year was in the second position so that's a feat which may never be duplicated. Even though her posts for this year have all been terrific so haven't the posts for a few others so can Akari get on a nice roll with her activities and show the youngsters how it's done if you want to be my number one Queen of the year?! With the countdown for the 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' looming need to start deciding on some things. For instance when will the list be done, was thinking of beginning it in August but may want to wait another month or two. If that happens will I do a regular list for the yearly faves or do what happened in 2018 when I just had two posts listing my top favorites?

 In all honesty I really am unsure on what I want to do and need to decide somewhat soon for that. Seeing as how you viewers would be the ones reading the list you can always drop a comment or two with your suggestions. I wouldn't want to bombard you with lists and there's been many fewer the past three years. Would like to have a pair of my top Nogi members and also their photobooks, also would like to have another for my all time photobooks and have had two of them but the last was at the end of 2021. Of course Akari wouldn't qualify for the Nogi lists but would for any other kind of list I'd be doing. On that last book list her 2018 masterpiece was in the fifth spot as far as favorite books go but at least two that have come out after 2021 have eclipsed Akari's first PB.

 Let's get to things and seem I have a slight order to Akari's posts which isn't a bad thing and in a way that's the case for everyone I post about. I bet if you saw one of my posts at another blog you'd know it was one of my mine as the format for every post is the same and there's a unique style I have for them all. First up are older SKE cards and often do start with them, usually have cards for the month we're in but the batch for today are Summer tour cards that go from 2020-17.

 Akari has had two regular photobooks and also an essay book that was about 1/3 packed with scantly clad pictures, wish she would have a digital boom or two.... or ten! Two weeks ago she released a different type of book which was a travel one as Akari traveled to New Zealand for the photo shoot, her other option was France so surprised she didn't choose that location. Akari does love Wine and visited a winery in New Zealand but she may have enjoyed the ones in France a bit more. The title of the book is "Akari no Aruhi" and have posted five promo pics for the book. But have found four more of them which are below along with those other five that may have not been seen due to her unpopularity....

 Akari attended events on June 20th in Nagoya and on the 21st in Tokyo to promote the travel book. On June 26th she went SW to Osaka for an event, she always looks so adorable and seductive in a demure way at these kinds of events so wish there had been more photos. Books such as this aren't one Idol fans would buy so the events for them were a bit low key.

 Akari did four interviews on June 22nd for the book, she did them one after the other for the photos below are a mix of all the interviews. I read them all and will have the link to one which was with the Encount site and do recommend reading it as the interview was so interesting. Especially the part when Akari talked about marriage, she's now 34 in age and when she left SKE almost four years ago figured she'd be wed by her 35th birthday which is on Halloween. However Akari said she hasn't thought about getting hitched at all and is quite content with her life so is in no rush to become a wife..... obviously she hasn't been visiting here often enough, sigh..... Encount interview

 There's been a shortage of magazine spreads over the last year and had thought I was caught up with finding ancient ones that had never been posted before. But did luck out and there is no quit in me when I'm on the prowl for unseen Akari things and did find one mini mag spread. This set is almost a dozen years old and is from the October 2014 edition of Bomb, it also features Sae Miyazawa who I've always liked and next month she'll be hitting the age of 36!

 How about one more encore viewing of an oldie yet goldie mag spread? Sounds good to me and it being July let's have this spread from the BLT magazine's July 2016 issue. In May of that year Akari had cut her hair very short and kept it that way for a few months, she did let it grow back to it's prior length. At first I was only lukewarm with her shorter style but I did grow to loving it, she could be completely bald and would still look like a few gazillion yen!!!!

 Usually end off Akari's posts with many fabulous photos from her IG page but will have one other thing for today. Did her last post less than two weeks ago so there aren't nearly as many pictures though of course all get a grade of an A++++ from me. Three are for when Akari visited the Biteki magazine office to try some cosmetics but unsure if she'll be in an upcoming issue.

 We've now hit the end and once again have some ultra steamy screenshots from the DVD for her "Pluie" photobook. This 19 minute video is no longer on YT but came with the book, it's so hard to believe that this is only Akari's second gravure video with her first being in May 2024 for the Bomb magazine, why none for her fifty gravure mag spreads? These screenshots may look similar to ones already posted but all are new for here, the way Akari looks in that yellowish dress is too perfect to put into words!!!! No decent brand new videos so after the sizzling pics is another one from the June 21st event for that newish travel book and I find her voice to be so comforting.
