Akari Suda: Is once again demanding this blog be named after her!!!!

 


 There's two givens in the world, death and taxes though here there is a third which is of Nao always working his hardest for an Akari post and no matter how many I do just can't ever do enough of them! Lately have been on a very nice roll and in a couple of recent posts have talked about my extremely elite women, there's only about ten of them who have had many posts lately and do I work much harder having posts for them than others. Of course Akari is among that small group and isn't far away from being my #1 woman of all time 😍, it's not a question of IF but WHEN I will anoint her that title!!!!



 As far as titles go it's too late having a name change for this blog, Aisuda does have a nice ring to it but actually Aitoda sounds better but maybe it's because I'm so used to it. Sadly will admit that I've been forgetting about who this blog was named after so let me work on a post though it may not be too easy. This isn't one of Akari's larger posts but there will probably be seventy or so pics, not all are new for here but in a way could be new to you readers as her posts haven't been all that popular over the years. After a sluggish beginning to the 2025 'Nao Year' Akari is quickly up to eight posts, the woman in the post below this one is my current #1 for the year but this post's honoree isn't too far behind. I think the quality of this year's top five will be the highest ever in the eleven years the list has been done but on the other hand think the quantity of those who reach six posts for the year will be at an all time low but there's still a long way to go in 2025.



 Had zero intentions of doing a post for Akari today but hadn't been doing more than one post a day for about a week so wanted to up that to two for a few days. In a positive think the next post will be for another ex-SKE member who has become so popular in a short amount of time, up until ten days ago had never had back to back posts for SKE members and now it'll be two already for this month. Speaking of the group have some more monthly cards for April so this finishes this month off, may have one more post for her before April ends and will think of some other kinds of cards that haven't been posted before. As I've said before there was such a decrease in cards after 2019, seemed that way for many groups but by far SKE saw the biggest decrease.





















 My original plan was to have this post in a week but I honestly can never do enough posts for Akari and wonder if she or her staff have ever visited here? Was thinking of doing a post in a week for a new mag spread will be coming out in a few days that will feature more outtake pics from her second photobook that came out on February 19th. So will probably have that post in about ten days which will mean three for this month. "Pluie" is the name of the new book, have five photos below from the book that hadn't been posted before and I'm running out of superlatives for her....






 Seeing as we have to wait a week for a new magazine spread will have a pair of golden oldies. One reason is because I hate seeing terrific older pics forgotten about, the other of course is because her posts are not popular so sure most have never seen her oldish spreads. First up for Akari is this set from the September 4, 2018 issue of SPA! that featured outtake pics from her first photobook, have more about that classic book to end off the post.






 This second spread is also from 2018 and the February 20th edition of Flash. To me this is one of Akari's better spreads and she's had so many superb ones over the years, that final photo is so underrated but then again so aren't hundreds of others of her!!!!








 Usually end off an Akari post with many pics from her IG page because they're so fabulous but for today have three more sets after this. Her last post was done just ten days ago so don't have nearly as many as usual but least they get a grade of A++++ from me!. Top two pics are from the M League show which is about Mahjong, she's been a co-host for over two years and what's becoming common lately are photos of her at a sauna or hot spring.... sigh, guess my invitation got lost in the mail again....














 Here's a batch of pics I haven't posted for a long time which is of Akari enjoying the spirits! She does love her beer, wine and Sake, some of these have been posted before but I keep adding to this set of pics so many are brand new for here. Hmmmm, was just thinking about how easy she makes it for me to keep adding to the collection....












 SKE is based out of Nagoya, Akari hails from nearby Aichi and still lives there which really impresses me. Even more impressive is that she really does so much work to promote her hometown and must be attend an event once or twice a month though most are low key events. This one was to an extent and for the fourth time(?) Akari was the chosen to be an ambassador for the city of Aichi, this time it's for their Traffic Safety commission. She's also been an ambassador for two other police programs and also the Aichi railway service. Below are some pics from the event though there weren't all that many but do have a mini video after them which doesn't include her trying those handcuffs on me, gulp!!!!











 

 Will end off with this smallish set of dazzling pics which are from Akari's 😍 first photobook "Kawaikunaru Houhou: that was released in July 2018. Have said how her posts aren't too popular which is true but this has drawn 4,750 views to date which is by far the most for any of her posts. But this book is so stupendous it truly does deserve to have twice as many views so have the link to it as I'm sure many have never seen the pictures before. Not sure where this book would be on my all time list, probably around sixth or seventh and that bottom photo is one of my all time favorites but can say that about so many more of hers: "Kawaikunaru Houhou" photobook scans
