Akari Suda: Her historical 50th post(yay)!!!!
Worked hard trying to do two other posts but sadly neither of them panned out. Grrr, that did frustrate me as both will be superb posts but just didn't have enough new things to fill the post out with, hopefully can finish both this weekend. So when a post is needed these days the biggest surprise of the year is that it'll be Akari who will once again save the day!!!! Fifty posts, almost all are solo ones, is a good amount but it's really not all that historical as quite a few women have so many more posts. However going into 2022 Akari only had 23 of them, last year she had nine and this makes it eighteen for this year which ties her for the #1 spot for most posts. Will slow down on these a bit and don't think the next one will be until early November or a few days after her 32nd birthday. Do have a huge cache of her older photos that had never been posted here before and have more for today, the problem is that supply has been rapidly dwindling but there are 55 new pics from the past ten days for this post.
Being slightly older than most women here is an advantage at times plus the fact I prefer posting about those gals who are 28+ in age. As mentioned Akari will be turning 32 soon and that will take place in twelve days. So I can go back 10-12 years for her pics and that's something you can't do with a woman who is around 25 in age. The countdown for thus years faves list should begin during the last week of November, this year will make it sixteen faves instead of the usual twenty. It's still a battle for the top spot but Akari is slowly pulling away, the other two who are on her tail are still busy but not to the extent she's been the last three months.
Akari has never been all that popular here and probably never will though she's not far from being my all time #1 woman!!!! Her posts don't draw the fewest amount of views but the counts pale in comparison to the more popular women here though have noticed a slight increase with how many views her posts have gotten the last few months. Birthday #32 is on October 31st and of course that happens to be Halloween day. In her last post had many older SKE cards for the semi-holiday, have some regular pics for today though not all that many. The majority are from the October 21, 2017 T-Spook show and quite a few Idol groups used to attend it.
In every post have at least a dozen older SKE cards and this batch from 2017/16 hadn't been posted before. However my supply of them is shrinking and think I may have only enough for just a few more posts.
I enjoy posting older pics from say 2013-17 so you can see how Akari has changed over the years. Not too much in my eyes and to me the biggest difference is that she looks better with each passing day! Here's another prehistoric set of pics that had never been posted before which is from the July 26, 2013 issue of Young Animal. The pics are terrific though wish there was more than one solo photo, the names of everyone is in the second pic. The bottom one is promoting the group's 12th single "Utsukushii Imazuma" that came out on July 17, in those days an SKE single would sell 500-600,000 copies.
One more older set before I get to the two new batches of pics which total 55. This mag spread had been posted before and it was Akari's final one with SKE as she graduated three weeks later. It's from the October 11, 2022 issue of Flash so exactly a year old and how about that third pic.... whew!!!!!
Won't make any wry comment about her cuffing me but am thinking it! 😅 Akari has appeared at so many events the past two months, for about the fifth time on October 14th she was the acting police chief for a day. This time the city was Nagoya which is where SKE is based and she comes from Aichi which is not too far away. Well, she wasn't the chief for the entire city but the Meito precinct and there was an event where she quizzed the locals about the laws and such on phone scams and bicycle thefts.
As is the norm will end off with many fabulous pics from Akari's IG page. So often have said her photos are better than most magazine spreads and it'd be a chore to pick out my top ones for 2023 but it's a chore I would do with a huge smile on my face. These are all from the past two weeks with the top ones being from the October 7th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show. After the pics is a mini video from the above event though we can't hear Akari say all that much.
