Came so darn close to taking today off but at the last moment decided otherwise though a breather could happen tomorrow. The next post to be published will be the first November one for the 'My Current Watches' series and am two days behind on that post as it's turning out to be rather large yet to me also magnificent. There's a 50/50 chance it'll be completed by tomorrow, if not am 100% sure by Thursday and even though they do take a while to pen those posts have become my favorite ones to do. Could have titled this another 'Savior' post but have used that word too often lately and it'd be about the tenth time for an Akari post.
In the previous two posts have said will be winding down on doing posts for the women that will make this year's faves list and save any newer things for those posts. The countdown will begin on December 2nd and will have a post every other day save for one occasion as I would like to wrap that up by the 22nd. Not sure how most of those posts will turn out but 2026 became a much better year than I had expected as we're now up to 23 women who have qualified, five or more posts are needed. The 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th so odds are high this will be
Akari's final post until whatever position she'll have on the fave's list. This has seemed to be a quiet year for
Akari and compared to the last two or even three years it has been. But she'll end the year with seventeen posts which will be the third most of anyone,
Akari will just be one post below the woman with the second most and the leader will have 21 posts though there is a good chance of it being 22.
As of now know who will be in the top three positions for the fave's list, said the woman in the post below this one would probably be in the fifth spot. But that would leave #4 empty so she may move up to fourth so it appears Akari will be in the fifth position and no lower than sixth. In the last three years Akari 😍 has been in the first, second and first spots so it is a bit of a tumble but no woman has had such a streak and don't think it'll be ever topped. Akari hit the age of 35 in October 31st and she's showing no signs of slowing down, current and graduated J-Pop Idols need to take lessons from Akari who was never a huge star yet by working hard has become more popular than ever. It does please me when things work out well for such good people, Akari 😍 is right at the top of my list of those people but is she my #1 woman of all time????
As far as being my number one woman Akari isn't but has been #2 for about a year. Next Spring is when I'll be doing the third All Time list and there's still time for Akari to move into the top spot as 2026 has been a slowish year for my number one Queen. That would mean Akari wouldn't have to be much busier but to start having more meatier activities such as start appearing in magazines again, do some regular modeling, be at more events or my top wish which is to see her have a few digital books! And why not as Akari 😍 looks better than ever, even at the age of 35 she's so much more alluring than 99.99% of the women a decade or younger than she is.
Let's get to things and
Akari's last post was done eight days ago so there aren't a huge amount of new photos but bet there's close to forty of them. Plus can add in some older ones as her posts over the years haven't been overly popular so too many have missed out on a vast amount of sparkling
Akari photos! Will begin off with an encore viewing of these older cards which are AKB ones and remember the days when there were more members of SKE, NMB and HKT on an AKB single than their own members?! I do and that ended back in 2018, the world of J-Pop has really changed since I began this blog. Below are some 2013 AKB cards from a series they had called
Hawaii: Overseas Travel Diary and have posted many of these for other gals besides
Akari.
Back in June 2022
Akari's first semi-novel came out which was titled "Walking along steady: My way of finding happiness". The book featured her columns from the
Chunichi Shimbun site and
Akari would pen a column a week which has continued on until today. She has a volume two of the book that featured her best columns and also some new writings, that book was released on October 8th with the title of "A huge happiness: Walking along, One step at a time 2". Last month had some photos from an event for the book which took place in
Akari's hometown of Nagoya. On November 7th she had another event and traveled north to Tokyo to promote the book and the reason for volume two is that the first was a solid seller. It was a minor event so not too many photos,
Akari looks so sweltering in the above photos yet I may prefer the way she dresses like she did at the event. At it
Akari did say she's had thoughts about writing a novel but where would she find the time as she writes this column, hosts a radio show, is a co-host of a Mahjong TV show plus does many other things but not enough of those are activities that make for good posts.
In that long intro did say one activity that would help out
Akari's quest to be my all number one woman would to start appearing in magazines again. She must have had fifty or so gravure spreads until her SKE graduation in 2022 and then did have about five smallish ones in early 2025 for her second photo plus along the way had some regular spreads. Have no new ones for today which has been the case for too many posts this year so will go back in time for a pair of golden oldies. This first set has only three pages but it's
Akari's first ever magazine spread which is from the October 2010 issue of
GTV so a little over sixteen years ago and
Akari turned nineteen in age that month. Magazine spreads were often much smaller back then and after those three pages is today's other spread that's from the February 8, 2013 edition of
Young Animal. The younger version of
Akari certainly looked so fabulous but don't compare to her close-to-perfect looks these days which not enough of you readers notice....
Even though Akari must have had around fifty gravure mag spreads while with SKE she never had one video from a photo shoot and why not(?) is one of life's greatest mysteries! But she has released two since April 2024 and the second was a mini nineteen minute DVD for her "Pluie" photobook. I have watched that video so many times it's hard to believe the disc hasn't exploded and to be on the safe side made two backups(!), some truly sizzling screenshots from it.
Actually while with SKE Akari did upload a few mini videos to her IG page from photo shoots but they were only 25-40 seconds long so they were way too short and the quality was just so-so. For many Akari 😍 posts end off with some sparkling new photos from her IG page, she's been on a roll as these have all been added in the past week. The first few are more from Akari's October 31st birthday bash she had with her fan club members, the pics after that are from a Chunichi Shimbun symposium held on November 9th and was also for their 140th anniversary. The bottom pics are of Akari last week and she had traveled down to Fukuoka and still don't know where she finds the time! Will skip having a video for today as YT is really messed up at the moment and don't want to wait until their problems are solved.
