I also don't think she gave herself enough time after she had her baby before releasing new music. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to hear some new music from her but I do think she is moving a bit fast.

Anna Tsuchiya, PE'Z collaborate on special project

http://i47.tinypic.com/xkx3e1.jpg

Anna Tsuchiya and instrumental jazz band PE'Z are working together on a collaborative release, set to go on sale on August 19. This will not be a typical product, as it is being produced by Takarajimasha, an entertainment company that primarily deals with magazines.

Last December, Takarajimasha experimented with a collaborative project between Quruli and Yuming. Titled "Shirt wo Araeba," the CD was bundled with previously unreleased photos and a special booklet featuring self-drawn illustrations. Due to the positive sales of that project, Takarajimasha was encouraged to try another music release.

Although the title has not yet been revealed, several details of the Anna Tsuchiya x PE'Z collaboration are known. The product will be packaged in an A4 magazine size box, containing a CD, a music video DVD, and a special commemorative pouch produced by the popular select shop RAGTAG. Like "Shirt wo Araeba," the bundle will be sold at bookstores and convenience stores rather than at record shops.

Takarajimasha also has the backing of J-WAVE, which will host a one-time-only live performance by Anna Tsuchiya and PE'Z at this year's J-WAVE LIVE 2000+10 festival, taking place at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium on August 13-15.

In addition, Takarajimasha is openly recruiting 300 fans to participate in the filming of the music video that will be included on the DVD. Filming will take place somewhere in Tokyo on June 28.

That's a really cool concept! Wonder what the song will be like.

Thank you so much for posting this Karen! I'm super excited about this release. I can't wait to hear the song. And in addition to the CD, it's going to be bundled with a DVD and commemorative pouch? It would be cool if they could put her one time only performance on the DVD too since she's going to be performing before the release. But since there's such a short time frame between the performance date and release date, that's not going to happen. Hopefully someone will upload it onto youtube though. I HAVE to have this but I wonder how much it's going to cost.

Hey, she has bills to pay! :P

I love the black and white covers
they look fiiiierce

this next single already sounds better! Her last collaborations (GINGER, Crazy World) turned out awesome. Can't wait to hear what this one will be like :D

agree . She only did 2 collaborations so far in her career but those are really good songs

this might be a long shot but I really hope Anna can do a duet with DAIGO , that will be amazing since they're both friends & he's a rocker by nature too xD :laugh

OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO

Congratulations on being picked to be in the video! I hope you have a great time and we're all looking forward to your report!

no pics uuuugh >.<

Does anyone here collect Anna's older work from Spin Aqua? Until recently, I had no plans to but I bought Pisces a couple of days ago and now I'm interested in collecting her singles from this album as well as the DVD they released with the videos. From what I see, they're pretty hard to find though but I'm keeping my eyes open.

I have Pisces, but nothing else :(

Pisces is one of my favorite albums of all time, and my favorite Anna album <3 it's such a shame the band broke up, suuuuch good music *___*

I wanted to collect Spin Aqua singles and then their album but the only thing I found to buy was the album :no
