The best album it's already available to download on iTunes http://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/all...99?i=510288101

I'll try to download ALL RIGHT NOW... hope my credit card works lol

Unfortunately, it appears as though this album didn't chart at all. Although I didn't expect it to chart in a high position since it consists mostly of previously released songs, I was hoping that it would at least be charted. I'm sure her next studio album will do a lot better. On a light note though, my album shipped last night! I can't wait to get it!

I received the COLORS of HOPE today, and I took pictures of the Anna's photos (can't make proper scans i'm sorry. Sorry also for my hand being in the middle of the pages, it would be hard to see anything otherwise xD) :



I'll be able to take bigger pics if you want one in particular, just request it.

104!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!? ....................................... NO COMMENTS

BTW, OBLIVION DUST's new album was released yesterday and Anna participated on it with the song Sail Away... does somebody have a link to download the full album?

@Heavenly - thanks for taking pics of Anna from your COLOURS OF HOPE book , she looks amazing seriously

Anna + Leslie = homerun big time

@natapan - Anna somewhat is cursed when comes to releasing remix albums & now collaboration albums especially since her 2 remix albums & 12 FLAVOR SONGS ~BEST COLLABORATION~ all charted outside of the top 100 ._.

thanks for the pics

Tsuchiya Anna denies rumors of her husband’s domestic violence

http://static.tokyohive.com/wp-conte...starbucks1.jpg

On April 17th, model/singer Tsuchiya Anna attended Starbucks Coffee Japan’s event, “My Style, My Frappuccino -Starbucks Summer Collection 2012-“.

The other day, Tsuchiya revealed through her official blog that she had hurt her hand, which led to rumours of her husband Kikuchi Yamato’s domestic violence. Kikuchi was previously arrested for acting violently in a Karaoke establishment. Tsuchiya denied these rumors saying, “We are in love. I cut my hand with a plate, so I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Starbucks held this event to commemorate the launch of their new product, “Chocolate Cookie Crumble Frappuccino with White Chocolate Pudding”. They introduced this new product with a fashion show featuring models wearing outfits that fit the image of frappucchinos.

There was also a talk show with Tsuchiya and stylist Sasaki Keiko. During the talk show, Tsuchiya commented on Starbucks with, “I go at least 2 or 3 times a day. I love it.” While drinking the new frappuccino, she said, “It’s like jewelry, it’s cute. When you first look at it, it looks sweet, but it’s not as sweet as it looks. It gives me energy.”

Wonder how it's possible to have her hand cut by a plate o_O

I am deeply saddened to hear about these allegations of domestic violence. As much as I would like to believe that these claims are untrue, I have to admit that I am very concerned about her. Although it is common for the media to fabricate stories, situations about domestic violence are usually not made up out of thin air. I had a bad feeling about her husband after he got involved in an altercation at the karaoke bar last year but I tried to treat it as an isolated incident and didn't want to judge him or jump to conclusions based on that situation alone. If the previous article mentioned is true, I truly hope that Anna would quickly remove herself and her children out of an environment where they could physically and emotionally be in a dangerous situation. As a public figure whose musical career revolves around the empowerment of women and a possible victim of domestic violence, I hope that if it is true, she finds the strength to walk away by her own motivation and by the help of others close to her who love and care about her. I'm not surprised that she would deny these allegations as it's sometimes hard for some women to find a way out of these types of situations or even to acknowledge that it's happening to others but I hope that everything turns out well. As I said, I hope it's not true but if Anna has been in and out of the hospital with injuries that indicate domestic violence and her husband has a history of being a violent person, the writing certainly seems to be on the walls. :(

it's all lies, end of the story <3 I'm back to my happiness

but there's still people that think this is true... I'm so upset, I think japanese press should get a life and stop making up this kind of rumours
