Akari Suda: Sigh, I just can never get tired of her.... the umpteenth encore post!!!!

 

 That heading is right on the money for she has been my #1 woman for the last two or so years but hasn't quite made it to my number one of all time.... yet! It's been close to a decade since I fell head over heals for Akari 😍 and I adore her more than ever though she remains somewhat unpopular here. For in 2024 her fifteen posts had an average of 380 views, that was as of December 20th and that was the lowest average of anyone to have six or more posts. She retained her title from 2023 as that year her average was only 325 views per post yet least she can boast about being my #1 Queen of the year! However there are a few positives for Akari did go from 325 views a post all the way up to 380 which is a 17% increase. And those 2023 posts that averaged 325 views have now jumped all the way up to 434 views per post so obviously she has gained some new fans here and it's nice to see you viewers checking out her and other's older posts.

 Akari set a new milestone for the 2024 faves list as she finished in the second position, she also had that spot in 2018 and is the first woman to finish second twice. She was first in 2023 and seventh the year before that so she's shown some staying power, she's making an early bid to regain her crown to be my Queen again for 2025! For in about six weeks Akari has her second regular photobook coming out and have some new breathtaking pics from it in this post. Along with at least forty other new pics and some oldies that have been posted before but as mentioned above her posts don't draw nearly as many views as other women's do so odds are high many older things have never been seen.

 Have a little bit of many things though nothing from any events, sure there will be at least one for her photobook but Akari hasn't appeared at one in many months. That's a shame as I really like the way she looks at them though to be honest like the way she looks 100% of the time! 😍 Will begin off with some older SKE cards and think most of these should be new for here, these days for ex-Idols I have older cards for the current month so of course it means these are for January.

 One kind of photos that have never been included in these posts are older blog or IG pics before 2017 and it's about time to begin having some on occasion. Akari didn't have an IG page until 2019 and that was common for most Idols. Before then her and other SKE members posted photos at the group Ameba blog and have some from very late 2010 when she was just nineteen in age.

 Have one last batch of older pics which is this terrific Akari spread from volume 24 of UTB+ that came out in June 2015. There's still a regular UTB issue that comes out every month but this Plus edition was discontinued some years ago, did post this before but like many of her things was probably not seen.

 Didn't have any intentions of doing this post today but try do have at least one a month for Akari, it hasn't always worked out but she has had at least one 22 of the last 25 months. Often end off with photos from her IG page for in my eyes they are truly stupendous but will have them now for the next two batches are somehow even more than perfect! There hasn't been as many from the past three weeks and that first one is my fave of the bunch. In the fifth pic is an ex-Morning Musume member and both appear on the "M-League" show which is about Mahjong.

 On February 19th Akari's second photobook will be released, a few days ago the title was revealed which will be "Pluie". Her first book that came out in 2018 was so dazzling and was my number two book of the year. Surprisingly it wasn't a high selling book so I wasn't expecting another but to me it sems her popularity may be a bit higher than it was in 2018. Below are pics you saw in her last post which are promo ones for the book.... whew, how about the second to last one!

 Oooops, almost forgot this small batch which are from the Sagami site. They're a noodle shop in Japan and Akari had done a CM for them about two years ago, she has two new ones at their site as she's also now an ambassador for the chain.

 Will end off with this breathtaking mag spread which is from the January 24th issue of Friday and has some mesmerizing promo pics for the upcoming photobook. Akari doesn't appear in nearly as many magazines as she once did but her spreads are still second to none, she had my number one spread of 2024. Also for the year she had her first regular gravure video and that too was my top one of the year.... hmmmm, when you think about it there aren't many categories of mine which Akari hasn't been #1 in!!!! However one thing Akari will never be number one in is keeping her YT Vlog updated, there's been no new videos for months and she seems like the kind of woman who would upload many of them. After the pics do have an older Akari video that hadn't been posted which is from 2020, she does a bit of cosplaying and how I wish she would be my Nurse.... gulp, that middle pic below, WOWOW!
