Akari Suda: Also wants to be considered to be my #1 fave of 2023!!!!
Couple of times this year have mentioned in her posts how unpopular Akari has become here, she was never a massive fave of you viewers but did have a sizable fan base. But the views for her posts had dwindled but all in all they really haven't and perhaps doing many more posts this year for her has got you viewers interested in her older posts? Akari's posts from say 6-8 months ago at the time had garnered 350-400 views, so many others here get twice that amount. But as time went on those posts have known grown to have 600-700 views so thanks for checking those older posts out which to me are all terrific and have another fabulous post for today.
This breaks a streak and glad it does! In March, May and July Akari had three posts but zero for February, April and June so wanted to see that stopped which it has with this one! This now makes it a dozen posts for Akari this year which is a personal record for her, it's also twenty in the last fifteen months and it's a shame there weren't more before 2022. That's because Akari may have been in the running to be my #1 on the 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list which was done at this time last year. She ended up finishing in the seventh position which is still impressive though deep down she truly could be my number one woman ever which I'm sure many have noticed.
Last year Akari ended up being seventh on the yearly faves list. As of now would have her in about the fifth spot and if she started appearing in magazines again or against all odds had some sort of photobook she'd be in the running to be number one!!!! Have a lot of new pics from the past ten days for this post plus a few golden oldies that had never been posted before. First off are these older SKE group cards from 2011/12 and still have many more of them to post.
And as the saying goes.... There's Nun better! There's also a few ancient magazine spreads prior to 2015 to post that had never been here before. Noticed Akari's spreads weren't nearly as large a decade ago but it's nice to see how she's changed over the last ten or more years. Have two mini golden oldies for today with this first one being from the December 2012 issue of Entame.
One more mini Akari set from 2012 which was actually a huge SKE pictorial from the July edition of YS-Web and sadly they don't publish any more issues.
Akari opened her own fan site last November, about ten days after graduating from SKE. But I don't think she posts all that many different photos there but there is an advantage to being a member. Think about three times a year Akari holds an event for members of her fan club and did so on Sunday which she dubbed as her 'Summer Festival'. Bigger crowd than I imagined it would be and its a shame we haven't seen her play the guitar live since last November, that would be a treat for her fans.
In Akari's last post had photos from two events, there's another pair for today so that means four events in three weeks and hope they continue. Today she was at an event to promote a new Kirin water and also to promote the visiting of spas, public baths and saunas which she frequents often, my only beef is that there's only been one video of these four events.
As is the norm for a Akari post will end off with plenty of photos from her IG page as they're always beyond superb and the pics are often better than magazine spreads! Especially that first batch of pics as she once again leaves me speechless! These are all from the last ten days and a few of the photos are from her travel show which she does for Japan Railways and their HC85 line. Akari does have a YT channel but hasn't uploaded a video in over three months, she seems like the kind of person who would have one a week but that hasn't been the case. After the pics is an older video from her channel and did mention about how she enjoys baths, just wish there were no flower petals....
