Akari Suda: Sigh, I give up trying not to have posts for her.... the umpteenth version....

 

 It's President's Day here in America but we don't need anything special at this blog for today's honoree as everyday is an ✩ 😍 Akari Day 😍 ✩!!!! For so long have kept saying to myself when are these posts going to start slowing down for Akari(?) but thank goodness can't see the end of them for a while though do have my fingers crossed. So many other women in the past have been on such torrid paces too when it comes to posts but not for as long of a stretch as Akari has been on, she only had 28 by the Spring of 2022 and I was seriously bummed out there hadn't been so many more. However the Gods have been smiling down upon me(or in my case up?) and she's had 71 posts in 45 months so definitely has been making up for lost time!

 So when you add up 28 and 71 you come up with the total of 99 posts!!!! That means the next one for Akari will be the rare air of a Hundred Posts, that happened last year in June but no other woman had hit the milestone in the previous three years! It won't happen again this year but there is a high chance it will happen twice in 2027, there's an outside possibility of three hitting triple digits next year! The biggest thing linking those three, Akari and last year's gal to hit a hundred is that they're all such massive faves of mine and having many posts certainly does help when it comes time to rank someone on a  favorite's list. All five may end up being in the top ten on my 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list when the countdown begins in August, of course Akari is by far the odds on favorite to be #1 on that list! As of now number two would be Yui from Keya, she's the woman who hit a hundred posts last June and the previous one had also been a member of Keya. For those curious in 2027 Nashiko and Nene should both hit a hundred posts, it's not 100% certain but think Haruka F has a good chance of making it a threesome.... with that word my imagination went into hyperdrive!!!!

 Don't think I'll do anything special for post #100 but a digital book full of photos like that one above would be a present all of us could savor for a few decades, whew!!!! Akari graduated from SKE in early November 2022 and by that time she was up to 32 posts. So the months leading up to her graduation were much busier for Akari but after leaving the group she's been non stop busy and as I've said before every J-Pop Idol who has thought about departing their groups should emulate how Akari's solo career has been. She never took any kind of long break and those are career killers, just because you were in a group for 7-10 years mean you need to take a four month break? 

 We've seen Akari do a few CM's for Suntory beer but it's been a while since her last one, she does love her lager and also many other kinds of spirits! The goal for the year is to have two posts every month for Akari,😍 two months are now down and hopefully that goal will be much easier than I imagined. The last post for Akari was done just a dozen days ago but have so many new photos that had never been posted here before, it does take work to find or create things but I enjoy every minute of it! Back in 2014 did have two offshoot blogs for a pair of mega favorites of mine, kept them alive for over two years. The reason for deleting both blogs is that it became so tough or actually impossible to consistently do posts for the pair after a while plus it wasn't easy maintaining three blogs. It's too late now(or is it?) to create a new blog just featuring Akari, how I would love to do that but it would also mean this blog may suffer a bit and wouldn't want to see that happen. Plus Akari isn't all that popular here so a blog devoted to her probably wouldn't be either though then again I would be very curious to see how such a blog would work out....

 You wouldn't think it was possible but have another huge set of ninety photos which are new for here plus a few oldies, when I going to start making these posts smaller again? EDIT: Did forget to add in seven pics but there's a start for the next post! There's about ten 'Tokyo Girls Collection' shows held a year in Japan, four are huge ones that take place in the Tokyo area. Then there's six others held around the country which are considered 'minor shows' but why as they take place in large cities? By Minor mean there aren't as many models nor as many entertainment sites there to report on the show hence meaning very few pictures. Yesterday there was a show at the IG Arena in Aichi and that's the hometown of Akari or least that's where she currently resides. Many times before have given her credit for staying in the Nagoya area and helping to promote the region, sure there would be many more show biz opportunities for Akari in Tokyo but she's content where she is. Below is it for photos from yesterday's TGC show, their huge Spring show takes place on March 14th.

 That show took place on the 15th, of course the day before was Valentine's and as far as I know Akari 😍 still doesn't have anyone to bake chocolate for! Akari is 34 in age and by what she says in interviews or at events doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get hitched and seems as though she's really enjoying her busy career. So many others I post about are around that age and still single, should do some sort of list for those favorites of mine and below are some older pics for the semi-holiday.

 Valentine's Day is on the 14th, six days before that is actually a more important date! That would be February 8th and on that day Akari's best ever friend and very close mate Yuria celebrates turning a year older, in 2026 she finally hit the age of thirty! I never get a chance to do enough posts for Yuria and in all honesty she's the type of woman who should be in my all time top ten, that's how much I adore her. Below are some photos from birthday #30 and as you can see Akari joined her mate, knowing the pair sure many gallons of the spirits were consumed! In some unexpected and terrific news on March 28th Yuria will be releasing her third photobook, her first two were so ultra terrific. So will do try to do a post around that time for her and one of these days will finally have that 'Pairs Post' I keep promising to do, the bottom four pics are promo ones for Yuria's upcoming photobook.

 The duo have appeared in a few magazine spreads together while members of SKE, Yuria was mainly an AKB member but did appear on a dozen SKE singles. The spread below is my favorite of the pair which is from the October 2017 issue of Bomb, that second photo probably isn't too special for those reading this but it's close to being my all time favorite 'Pairs Photo' and once again my imagination is getting the better of me....

 For the last year or so have been including older SKE monthly cards in Akari's posts, there's been so many hundreds of them. But am running out of cards that haven't been posted for some months such as February so that means need to have some different kinds and there's plenty of those. Such as for SKE singles and those will be in future posts but the large batch for today feature 2013/14 cards for the group's concerts and tours, Akari has changed a bit(for the better!) in the last dozen years.

 Have one more segment after this one, it's been a huge post but also one of the easier ones I've done this year. Usually that's a big positive but not for Akari's posts as when I'm writing them up hope they never end!!!! As I say in most of her posts no woman has better IG photos than Akari and she should make a book featuring her best ones as they're so fabulous which is an understatement! These are all from the past twelve days, Akari keeps playfully toying with me(!) when she posts photos of her at a hot spring or sauna, she loves those places. Many pics are of Akari in some wintery conditions, she was doing some reporting for the Chukyo-TV show "Catch" and traveled to the town of Komono which is in the prefecture of Mie and is a bit SW of the Nagoya area.

 The bottom four above were from January that featured more from the Dynamic Duo! The last few Akari posts have ended off with some overly sweltering screenshots that came with the DVD for her second photobook "Pluie" which came out exactly a year ago. There used to be a version on YT but it got deleted by the uploader, Akari always looks utterly perfect in photos but the way looks in this video is too much for my heart to take, I'm speechless a woman can be so alluring though in Akari's 😍 case perhaps I shouldn't be!!!! Did say above how much Akari enjoys spas and saunas, below is video from 2023 at a Ryokan on Himaka island. It was where the photo shoot took place for her "Ganko" essay book, the video is from her YT channel which she hasn't updated in eleven months.
