Nao's top ten Faves for 2025: Position #1, the irresistible and unequaled 𝑨𝒌𝒂𝒓𝒊 𝑺𝒖𝒅𝒂!!!!

 

 

 Previous Positions: Didn't do official posts for the first two on the list, #10 was Iori and in the ninth spot was Yuzuha. Below are the links to the all of the other positions and getting tougher each year to get more women eligible but the quality for 2025 is as high as ever.

#8, Mai Shinuchi .... #7, Miku T .... #6, Nene .... #5, Ruka Kitano

#4, Nashiko .... #3, Yui Kobayashi .... #2, Kana Nakada

 No suspense this year as far as who number one is and that's been the case since 2022. Most positions are close each year but seems #1 has separated themselves early on from anyone else and guess you can see why that is with Akari! 😍 Know I often say #3 on the list will be giving her a battle once my 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list begins in about eight months but to be honest it'll be a longshot for anyone save for Akari to wear that Queenly Crown! I wasn't worried about this post even though I didn't think there were many newish things to have for today. Akari had been in a slowish period over the last five weeks or at least slowish for her but she surprised me once again with how busy she's been and this should be a fine wrap-up to the this year's slightly smaller fave's list.

 Akari will never be popular here and I've resigned myself to that but at least her posts do get more views than ever. Next week will do a post for who the most popular women were for 2025 and that's determined by how many views their posts get. Twice in the last three years Akari has finished dead last(!) but that has no impact on how I feel about her 😍 as she is my number one woman of all time!!!! How much you viewers like or don't like a woman has no impact on how many posts someone gets, actually when a woman isn't too well liked I work harder on her posts to increase her fan base. That's never worked with Akari and how she's finished on the yearly faves list will never be duplicated. In 2018 she was in the second spot, beginning in 2022 she's gone sixth, first, second and first on the list for an average position of 2.4 and to me that average is so mind boggling. What makes it even more satisfying is that it was so hard to do posts for Akari and her SKE mates from 2019-21, since she left a little over three years ago no woman has had more posts than she has!

 Still can't understand why Akari doesn't have more fans here, it's okay that she's not #1 with most of you readers but why is her popularity so low? You wouldn't think it but very few (ex)J-Pop Idols have more gravure photos than Akari over the last decade and none to me can top her alluringness! Oh well, I gave up trying to find out those answers a while ago and some things don't make sense here, not just for Akari but we do tend to agree often with who our biggest faves are. No one has ever done it but you could make a comment with your top ten women of the year, sure some names would be the same and have been missing reading comments from you viewers.

 Akari did tie the record of having 26 posts in a 'Nao Year' which ended on November 30th. Could have possibly done a 27th for her but would rather see the record shared for a while, back in 2022 the woman in the sixth position also had 26 posts. One record Akari did set this year is that she's the oldest woman to be my #1 Queen of the year but doesn't she still look like she's in her twenties?! Two months ago Akari hit the age of 34, the old record had been 33 years and one month old for my 2019 number one woman. You would think Akari would be the odds on favorite to be number one again for 2026 so the honors for her keep accumulating, still no sign at all about her getting hitched and from what I can deduce Akari 😍 still has never been on a date! But she does have plenty of admirers, perhaps not here but I've noticed she's one of the most likable women I do posts for. Will now take a break to work on the rest of the post, did a little earlier and have over fifty new pics from the past two weeks! So will work a bit harder and hopefully can make that total over a hundred!

 Wrote up the above late Monday afternoon, was planning on finishing and publishing it on Tuesday night. But have been on a nice roll with these posts so have come back two hours later to complete this and think it'll be the best of all the positions! Also wanted to wrap up the list to dive into some other posts and have at least three more that I would like to do this week, not positive but will probably take  Christmas off. This will be a large post but not sure if there will be a lot of sections, don't want to post everything I have so there can be another post for Akari the first week of January.

 It hasn't happened yet but soon will be running low with older SKE cards that hadn't been posted. That's what happens when someone has about sixty posts in three years but should have enough new ones for a few more months. Will lead off with these December and X-Mas cards from SKE, most are from 2015-13 and after that there was such a drop in cards that were released.

 No new magazine spreads but have a few from earlier this year that featured outtake pics from Akari's second photobook that came out in February. The spreads are of course superb but most were way too small, this set is from the April 4th issue of Flash.

 One other spread and it's from the January 25th edition of Friday. I'm slightly surprised Akari hasn't had a digital book, this second PB sold fairly well and her popularity seems to have risen since leaving SKE. Plus it appears Akari does enjoy doing gravure photo shoots and isn't shy about exposing her fabulous figure so why no digital book?

 Akari's third calendar came out last month, she's had two events for it and will be having another this weekend. Below are some promo pics for the calendar, two pics hadn't been posted before.

 Yesterday Akari held an event for the calendar, she always looks terrific at events but these are close to being her best ever ones! It took place at the Tsutaya bookstore in Tokyo, at the event she told her fans not to worry about her getting married as she has zero plans to do that for a while and said she would first need a boyfriend(!).... hmmmm, hope she's reading this then! The calendar's photo shoot took place in Vietnam and after the fabulous photos is a video of the event.

 

 If there's one activity Akari loves to do is the imbibing of spirits, she'll partake in anything but think she prefers beer over most other drinks....

 Keep saying that Akari's IG photos are better than most pics you see in a book, hard to explain why but to me her photos are just so terrific and she truly seems like the most fun gal you would want to hang out with!!!! Below are pics from December 1st until the 17th, there's plenty more from the past few days so perhaps she will have a post on January 1st. That would make two posts for that day as the first post for 2026 will be for a Hina photobook. Those first eight are my favorite pics and how I would love to visit a sauna with Akari 😍... minus her towel!!!! She also uploaded a few more pics from the fan club birthday party she had six weeks ago and the ones near the bottom are semi-historical. Akari often wears glasses in her IG pics but she said this was the first time she had worn them in public, to me she still looks so ultra perfect with them on and it is very common for (ex)Idols to wear glasses, number eight on the list wears them quite often.

 Will end off here and this was one overly super duper post. To me it was so shocking that Akari never had any gravure videos while with SKE as she must have had fifty or so magazine spreads. Her first ever gravure video came out in May 2024 for the Bomb magazine and it's my top one ever! For Akari's second photobook "Pluie" there was a behind the scenes video and that's after these screenshots from it. Did say above that Akari isn't shy about her body and she does love doing gravure photo shoots, she's 34 in age and truly looks better than ever! So do recommend checking out the video and hopefully it'll garner Akari a few new fans, the question now is can she be the first three time Queen next year? Gulp, for the third time today viewed the video and now I know what the true meaning of Perfection 😍 is!!!!
