Haha, all of a sudden I hear releases announced from my favourite artists. It's a good time, music-wise.

I'm very curious what style her next songs will be.

The name of Anna's second son is Shinba*
*I'm going with this because 心 can be read as "shin" though she wrote his name reading in katakana which used mostly for foreign / loan words. In her newest entry, she refers to him as 心羽.

anna do name her children with an uncommon names @_@

but it sounds cool though!

Can't wait for Anna's new music! I hope it's very rockish like her old stuff. ^_^

I don't like Shinba much... it looks like a fusion between Simba from the Lion King and Shiva from Final Fantasy...

:roflmao

yeah that goes for Mortal Kombat's Sheeva too -_-'''

I don't know how Anna choose the names for her kids D: but there's a reason on why she chose Shinba (I HOPE)

^* :laugh
(You guys know that Shiva is the Hindu god of destruction, right? :P)

I like the names. I like how she doesn't just name them Keitarou and Rin or something, hah. :yes

I was thinking Sinbad from the Arabian night at first XD

I was thinking of "Simba" from the lion king but it's "Shinpa"? kind of similar, they have no "si" only "shi" but i immediately thought of "SIMMMBBBAAAA" while the dad is up in the clouds.

Lets hope this works but...new baby pictures!

It also means - "auspicious, kind and gracious" in Sanskrit :P

I'm liking the baby pics :P

^ Really?? I didn't know that, that's interesting. :D (Funny, though, that's totally different than 'god of destruction'. XD)


Aw, she already looks sooo tired and worn out. --Aa, the joys of motherhood. XP

Aw! she looks soo pooped lol but I knoe she's probly really really happy!

Anna's son is so cute :D I am pretty excited about her new music.

I'm pretty sure 心羽(shinba) would be "Simba", like how her other son 澄海(sukai) is "Sky". Especially since that "n" is pronounced "m" since it's followed by a "b-".

The characters for Simba are "heart" and "feathers" and Sky's are "to be clear/transparent" and "sea". Beautiful names~

^ I was debating of whether or not it should be Simba or Shinba. I was gonna go with Simba but when I saw 心 and シン I thought I should've transliterated verbatim.

The meanings of the names are very pretty - somehow I'm drawn towards the character for transparent. The pronunciations, eh, not so much.

Does anyone know where the PV for Brave Vibration was filmed? It didn't say in the Japanese wikipedia article about the single. -_-

from JPM:

^ Aaa, Shinnosuke's project!! :P (He's from the band SOUL'd OUT, if you know who they are.)
That's really interesting.... The other songs I heard with him and his features were all R&B-ish, so I'm interested to see what he'll do with a rocker chick like Anna. :O
