Akari Suda: Is once again our savior for today....

 

 It's been a while since I needed to use that heading for a post and thought I'd have to take today off due to nothing or very little to post about. But when in doubt over the last three years there's always someone I can depend on which of course is Akari,😍 these days she's the easiest woman to do posts for but up until 2023 was the hardest!!!! It's also a slight milestone as the woman in the next post was my first ever number one for a 'All Time Faves' list, it's almost a sure thing that Akari will be #1 when the third list is done this Summer. First time I've ever had the pair in back to back posts. In a way it may have been better to take today off but do have a mini goal of having two posts every month of the year for Akari, am confident it can be done but sure there will be a difficult month or two. The reason it may have been better to take a day off from posting is that there's 2-3 posts I want to work on and they may take a while to create so there is a chance I may be AWOL for one day very soon.

 In a way this has been a slowish stretch for Akari over the past month or so but even so she's still been busier than 98% of the gals I post about. Used the word milestone above and in March Akari should hit one of those which is a hundred posts! An ex-Keya member hit that hard to reach figure last June but that was the first time in at least four years. Things tend to come in spurts, next year one other should hit triple digits for posts and there's also a chance two others may in 2027, what that means is at least I've been able to keep doing posts for many of my older favorites. 

 

 I work harder on Akari's posts more than any other woman yet I enjoy doing that so it doesn't seem like work at all and is often the highlight of my day! So though it's been a slowish period for Akari who hasn't been at an event nor had any kind of modeling pics or mag spreads for a while bet I have ~75 photos that had never been posted here until today! Akari is 34 in age and began her career with SKE in late 2009 so I can go way back in time to hunt for things though it's not so easy finding them from over a decade ago. Not much current news for Akari however and once again hope she's reading this for I'm still patiently waiting for her first of many digital books to be released.... not sure my heart could take seeing a slew of them from her..... least I could succumb with a huge smile on my face....

 Will begin off with a small batch of photos Akari posted at her IG page two weeks ago. She had heard it's a coolish retro thing to do which is to repost photos from over a decade ago, these seven are from January 2016. Back then Akari had taken a trip to NYC for a few days where she met up with her parents, her father had some sort of business meeting in the city. I'm not right in that area but within 250 miles so had I known would have dropped everything to dash to the Big Apple! Akari also noted her English was still very poor at the time and had made a few boo-boos in trying to order food so ended up receiving something entirely different.

 Not sure how many older SKE cards of Akari's I've posted, 500+???? It's probably more than that but still have a few hundred more to post because most I've had to date are from the period of 2016-22, recently have started to work in the other direction with cards from 2011-14. This batch below are for February as that's the month we're in and cover the years mentioned, besides monthly cards there's still many from SKE singles that haven't seen the light of day here yet. I was looking a bit closely at these cards and it was the first time I've noticed how much Akari's face has changed in the last dozen or so years.

 Did say a goal was to have two Akari posts a month which will mean one more for February. So in that post will have cards and photos for Valentine's but in a slight surprise don't have nearly as many as I thought so there's another project for me....

 It was a year ago that Akari released her second regular photobook "Pluie", her first that came out in 2018 still leaves me speechless! Because of last year's book Akari did appear in many magazines though her spreads were way too small. One was somewhat biggish with seven pages and this scorching set is from the January 24th issue of Friday.

 How about a comparison magazine spread so you can see for yourself if Akari's looks are different in a span of thirteen years and this set is from the February 8, 2013 issue of Young Animal.

 The highlight of most Akari posts is a huge batch of new photos from her IG page, it's another highlight for today but will end off with one other thing after this. Akari does love her saunas and hot baths, wonder why she never invites me(!) so that top pic could be my fave from the batch. At the bottom is Akari with a small banner saying Nishio Marathon, that took place on January 18th but she only ran their much shorter 5K race which is 3.1 miles. Akari has never run a full marathon but is planning to attempt that on March 6th which is when the Nagoya Marathon will be held. So perhaps we may not hear from her as much over the next month, I'd miss her but would rather see Akari concentrate on her training and finish the race.

 For Akari's last few posts have been ending them with some screenshots from the DVD for the "Pluie" photobook. The video is so amazing and the DVD lasts for nineteen minutes, this brings us up to the eleven minute mark. After the screenshots is a YT version of the video but the DVD  quality is much better but still recommend viewing the video, Akari 😍 in the first pic leaves me gasping for air.... GRRRR, the video has been deleted within the last week so after the pics have a shorter video which was a promo one for the book. Don't know if others do it but I do which is to often download a YT video as way too often they get deleted.
