I've read three books on the apparition of Akita
                                                           


If you don't mind, what books? I've read "Akita: The tears and message of Mary".

Umm? There is no paragraph above.
On my screen, I see two paragraphs in my post.  Not on your screen?

Growing up we believed the message of Our Lady of Akita. I was taught that it was essentially the third secret of Fatima. Now, I'm not sure if it's valid or not. What do you guys think?
Whether a private revelation is or is not from heaven is the right and place of the True Catholic hierarchy to decide.  The fact that it is a post-Vatican II apparition means we can have no certainty about it.  There were many false apparitions even before Vatican II.  So, it would make more sense to avoid newer unaproved apparitions and stick with older approved ones.  With them we can have no doubt.

If the local Bishop gives approval, and if he's truly Catholic, you can trust it. Especially when it echos what Our Lady has already said.

True...  But...  The Bishop who approved it was still in the novus ordo and after Vatican II.  Does that not raise questions as to whether he was truly Catholic and whether it was a fully valid approval of the True Church?

Or should we believe as true everything a bishop in the novus ordo tells us?

There are enough solid pre-Vatican II approved visions through the centuries that could better occupy our time.
