Akari Suda: Her soon to be exalted and revered.... POST #100!!!!

 

 At one time reaching a hundred posts wasn't a rare milestone and especially for members of Nogi. But that was before 2020 as so many members would be included in group posts and that really inflated their post totals. Even for actresses hitting a hundred wasn't as impressive back then as a post would only be about a third of the size they are these days. So what I'm trying to say is any woman who has hit a hundred posts since 2020 has accomplished quite a feat, Akari is only the sixth woman since then to hit triple digits but as said in the post below this one it may be done three more times in the next year. But after that I'm not sure anyone will ever hit a hundred posts again and that could depend on how long this blog will stay alive.

 Of all the women to hit a hundred posts Akari reaching the figure was the most impressive as it was so unexpected! If you flash back four years Akari only had 76 posts and how I used to moan about the lack of posts for her as even without many of them she was still such a massive favorite who had been in the number two position on the 2018 fave's list. I have no clue why it happened but am so glad it did which is of the amount of posts for Akari literally exploding! In the last 46 months this makes it 76 posts for her and a pace such as that has never happened for such a long period but you won't catch me complaining as Akari 😍 is my all time #1 woman!!!! She left SKE at the beginning of November 2022 and before that her activities had been increasing with each month. Usually when a J-Pop Idol graduates from their group their activities go down and more often than not they're forgotten about. But the complete opposite has happened with Akari who became more busier and popular than ever. Akari hails from the Nagoya area and even after leaving SKE has remained living there which I respect highly. If she had moved to Tokyo bet her career may have gone even better but Akari is such a down to earth type of person who doesn't seem to need or care about a huge amount of fame and fortune.... neither of those are things I have so once again am praying she's reading this post!!!!

 Of course with only 24 posts four years ago never thought Akari would hit a hundred, I would have been pleased with fifty at this point. So there really isn't much I can add in at this point about how I feel about Akari or many career happenings as she's averaged 1.7 posts a month since May 2022. Sure 76 posts in that amount of time is a record and this now makes it seventeen consecutive months with a post, another four months and she'll set a record. Think Akari has another record which isn't a positive one, her last 44 posts or all since December 2023 have failed to hit a thousand views and though Akari 😍 is my #1 of all time she's far from that status with you viewers though her posts are getting slightly more popular as the years go on. Don't have anything special lined up for today, even though Akari is busier than almost any other woman I post about it the last month or so hasn't been her busiest. One reason could be that she's planning on running this Sunday in the Nagoya's Women Marathon and wonder how much training she's been doing? Akari hasn't talked about that but how many miles a day does someone need to run for a 26 mile marathon? Sure a lot to build up the stamina but bet Akari doesn't care about her time and her goal is to just finish the race.

 So though it's been a bit slower lately for Akari still have close to eighty pics that had never been posted here before and a few others to push the total to over a hundred! Been trying to keep the posts a tad smaller recently in order to have at least one a day and that's been working out well but when it comes to photos of Akari 😍 I don't know the word STOP! Don't have anything special lined up for this post and usually don't for birthday or milestone posts but do have one interesting batch of photos you've seen before but for the first time grouped them together and they do look so oki-doki! Probably won't happen but It'd be nice if one of these posts, such as this one, increased Akari's popularity here.... ooops, lost my train of thought gaping at those above pics, gulp....

 No upcoming holidays but each day with an Akari post sure seems like a holiday to me! One problem I'm starting to encounter with so many posts is that I'm running out of older things that had never been seen here before, it's not an issue right now but could be in the future. Such as having older monthly SKE cards in these posts, checked out prior March posts and all her cards for the month have been posted. That may be the case for other months but there's still many cards to post that have never been seen here before, the batch below is from 2012-14. Besides cards for each month, their singles and tours there were also many SKE cards for one time occasions such as a concert or DVD. For months there would often be 6-12 cards, for these oddball ones there were usually only a pair for the occasion and there's hundreds more than these.

 Even though I just said it is or will be getting tougher finding older Akari things to post about the huge advantage she has over most others is her age and am not saying she's old!!!! Last Halloween Akari hit the age of 34 so I can go way back in time for her things and have been as she was just 20-22 in age for the above cards. There doesn't seem as there's one thing Akari can't do, she's also been a writer for while with SKE she had written a monthly column for the TVNavi magazine for 3 1/2 years. She's also written an essay book plus a pair talking about her Idol days. The second of those was titled "Tekuteku Aruku- My Way of Finding Happiness" which ended up being a decent seller. Akari released the book in June 2022, a little over four months later is when she graduated from SKE. Found an interesting interview she did for the book with the Edimart site and the below photos are from it. Akari did this interview after her departure from the group so we did learn more about her experiences of being an Idol but also her thoughts about being a writer and the book did contain some columns she had written years before with the Chunichi Shimbun newspaper so it was kind of nice to see her literary side and here's the link to the site: Edimart interview

 A year ago Akari released her second photobook and there had been a few magazine spreads to promote it. However there's been none since then and that's a shame as Akari seems to be a woman who loves to appear in magazines and seems to enjoy gravure modeling, least she does in her very few videos. So let's go way back in time for this set from the February 8, 2013 issue of Young Animal.

 That above set is now over thirteen years old and think the following year is when I first began to notice Akari. Usually will end off a post with many of her recent photos from her IG page but for today have two more batches of sizzling pics after these! There are a lot of pics but not as many as usual for perhaps Akari has been training for that Nagoya Marathon, the bottom one is the second recent one with the two Mahjong fanatics! All of the photos are terrific but the top three are my favorites and it's only the second time she's posted pics of herself wearing glasses. The first time was towards the end of last year and Akari has said she's a bit self conscious at times wearing her glasses in public but she shouldn't think that way as I and bet many many others think she looks just as fabulous!

 A common activity of Akari's and perhaps her favorite is visiting hot baths and saunas, they're also some of my top pictures of her! So gathered up a few of those photos from the past few years and hoping I can find a few more.

 That bottom pic above is a screenshot from a video Akari uploaded to her YT channel in March 2021, that video is after this final batch and don't think she's wearing anything besides those roses covering her! For the finale have another batch of screenshots from the mini DVD for her "Pluie" photobook, the video was on YT but got taken down. Akari doesn't have many gravure videos but they are truly unbeatable, I'm totally in awe on how perfect and dazzling she looks in that video....😍
