Akari Suda: "Kawaikunaru Houhou" photobook scans



 In a post yesterday said to look out for this one which would be for the best photobook of the year. While it does contain some jaw-dropping pics don't consider it to be my fave of the year. So far that honor goes to Erina's book which came out in March, second place will probably be for Maimi's next PB which is coming out in about ten days, her books are so difficult to top. Will have this PB fourth for now as my third place book will be for Mizuki's latest though I've only seen a few pics from it, her books are also difficult to top.
 Bit of a controversy has been swirling about Akari's first photobook and bet it'll be her last then. The publisher printed 50,000 copies expecting it to be a solid seller and there's no reason it shouldn't have been. For some mysterious reason sales have been only about 13,000+ to date in the ten weeks it's been out. As I've said a few times recently the '48' fans seem to focus more on the groups these days instead of the members which is the opposite of me, Akari is a popular and likable gal so sales should have been so much higher.
 Plus she finished second in this year's Senbatsu elections with 154,000 votes but you can also buy them so perhaps only 20,000 or so voted for her. It's not Akari's fault at all the sales weren't higher as this is one fine PB, you hate to see bad things happen to a nice gal like she is and she's been in my top ten for idols for many years now. If there is a top ten/twenty list this year can see her finishing high up there and probably in the top five.


 Enough rambling but there's still no good reason the sales for this fine PB were so low, that low sales number though may hurt the chances of other '48' members having a book. The pics for Akari's first PB were taken in Cuba which is definitely an odd place for a photo shoot, good thing the pics weren't taken in the Arctic as there definitely would be more icebergs melting due to her hotness.
 Solid set of pics but wish there weren't so many taken out in the streets or at a ballet studio, she is a very accomplished ballerina. On to the pics and this is one of the bigger books as there's over a hundred pics, second half of them are where the truly stunning Akari pics are though we did see many of them in mag spreads promoting the PB.
