Akari Suda: An extremely overdue post....

 You wouldn't think it but SKE isn't the easiest of groups to do posts for or at least solo ones for their members. One reason may be the size of the group these days, can remember when they had only two teams but how many out there can name all of these members????

 Surprisingly I still listen to them on a regular basis, just played their first singles collection yesterday and to me they have more enjoyable tunes than the rest of the '48' groups do combined. Only one single though for this past year though a second greatest hits album was released. That single was "Igai ni Mango" which hit #1 in the charts as all of them do. The song came out in July 19th and has sold 330,000 copies to date which was about the same number as the previous single. While an impressive figure it's only half of what they sold 2-3 years ago.

 There's a handful of faves who I really would like to post more about and Akari may top that list, few other SKE members would also be on the list. Hard to explain why but Akari gets my blood boiling like few women do, as far as sexiness goes I'd have her easily in my current top ten. This is her first post in fourteen months(!) as there just are never enough things to post about her.
 Akari will be turning 26 on the last day of the month, that's Halloween and she could certainly give me a treat! This may be her birthday post then too as odds are there won't be many happenings between now and then. Akari finished 6th(!) in the last AKB election that was held in June, with such a high ranking hopefully that means a graduation won't be taking place for a while.
 On to some activities and like the other SKE members Akari is from the prefecture of Aichi. On October 3rd she was at an event for it to promote their tourist industry. There's a new campaign called 'Aichi Destination' and here are some promo pics from the Japan Highlights Travel site.

 Jurina was also at the October 3rd event which was held in Tokyo, she's someone who I truly adore too. Keep wanting to do a post(s) for her but there's also been a shortage of things to post about, maybe with pics from the event there will be enough for one. The campaign goes on to the end of the year but couldn't find a promo video yet for it.
 With the duo at the event was Yuna Obata who was the center for SKE's last single. Each of the trio was promoting something different about the prefecture, in the case of Akari she was supposed to be dressed as though she was from the Tokugawa era. Don't think they dressed like that hundreds of years ago but then again don't think Idols were as popular. Many pics here from the event and at the bottom of the post have a video from it.

 On to a few 2017 mag spreads and as usual there's been a shortage of solo ones for Akari. This one is a bit older as it's from the February edition of Bubka, looking quite amazing....

 A photobook is something that's missing from Akari, what I wouldn't give to see her in one but as she's about to turn 26 probably will never happen. Pair of smaller spreads with three pics each, first are from Young Gangan #16 and the others are from the AKB Mizugi Surprise Happyou mag.

 Final spread also features Yuria who graduated from AKB on September 30th. She was once a mate of Akari's in SKE up until 2014 and this superb set is from the October issue of Bomb, last five pics are from the photo shoot.

 Just some breathtaking Akari pics to end the post off with, hopefully the next one won't have a gap of fourteen months and check out the video after them from the Aichi press conference.
