I recommend Sakuran if only for Ringo Shiina's music. :)

yeah you don't say Hector

LOL

yeah & her slang's epic there xD with all the Japanese dialects going on :lmfao

What happened to the song that was used in the CM that got released a few months ago?

Anyway, a new ballad? Yay!! I love Kuroi Namida & Forever as well, those 2 songs basically made me a fan of hers <3 Along with Crazy World :D

heeeey...has anyone else heard Hoobastank's "The Letter" featuring Anna Tsuchiya????

my b/f downloaded it last night and was like, hey here's an anna tsuchiya song, but i'd never even heard of this collaboration!?

i looked it up and i guess its from Hoobastanks Japanese greatest hits album. just curious if you guys had heard of it or if i'm totally out of the loop.

^ Nope, never heard of that! o__O Sounds interesting, hah.

also, she has an japan itunes only song called "sing" that i've never been able to find. :(

o_O

wasn't that Brave vibration , Alex ? or am I missing something here ?

as far as I know , she should have released Guilty as a physical single T_T

^o_O I can't believe she covered this song, it's so out of character for her.

No no haha
I'm talking about this one:



and yeah I agree, Guilty is an amazing song :yes


hmmm, I'm just in love with her voice <3 .. I'm listening to MP3 rips of her "Blood of Roses" tour right now :P she sounds so amazing

oh that

I haven't seen the CM before & Anna cracks me up in there :laugh

but I don' know if that will be turned into a full song or not T_T

^ That;s the song that was created only for a cell phone company. The lyrics even relate to things like e-mail and stuff.

yeah I could hear phone & email related stuff in the CM that's why I have a feeling it might not be released as a full song/single of Anna's but you never know eh

got this from CDJapan

^ a concert maybe? I'm pretty sure the NUDY SHOW! concert hasn't been released yet (she DID have a concert for that album right? :confused)

I'm dying to see that.

Cover of Anna's 2nd DVD "Fishbone" which's a flim directed by Anna herself

http://i48.tinypic.com/2zs8uf9.jpg

Also features behind-the-scene and concert performance

this will be out on 17th March

sad I was hopining for "I am pregnant - look at me and buy it for my sake" DVD

^:laugh:laugh:laugh

i dont really like the cover... she looks too mature there :shrug

and fish bone? seriously? she was choked by a fish bone or what?

The cover is really nice. I love her blonde curled hair. <3

Lol. The title is kinda WTF (then again, most of Japan is XD), but I like how she looks there. :yes
On a side note, sometimes it seems like Anna wants to be an actress, much more than a singer, hah.

I believe she started acting 1st prior to singing , well that's after Spin Aqua disbanded

she won quite a few awards for her acting too

What is that film about?

Some kind of movie?? lol :confused

you mean Fishbone , Alex ?

I honestly don't have any idea :dead2 other than the fact that she directed it

Anna accepting the award

Oh my god she looks like my US History teacher's assistant.

I'm not saying this to be mean, but... Man, she looks a lot~ older without makeup. o_O' Just surprising...

anna looks so cute and beautiful in that blue dress! she does look a bit older without makeup, but i think she still looks naturally beautiful :P

I wonder if her looking older has anything to do with the trauma she suffered in her modelling days. I think she looks pretty though. XD

ok at least now I know what the movie's all about

She looks really pretty in the blue dress. She's glowing! =o

From the sound and look of, "Fishbone" is gonna be an adorable movie.

Anna, 5 months along
http://i47.tinypic.com/24ln9lh.jpg

Appearantly, Sky already had his birthday. He's five now.

Is that her bloke? :)

^ Yeppers

are they her current husband and sukai?

i wonder whats is sukai ethnicity XD both of his parents are mix

japanese-polish-american-brazilian? omg :thud

anyway xD its makes me so happy that anna is 1/4 Polish xD

^:laugh

and apparently her father has polish and irish blood too

source: http://www.flying-postman.com/anna/3...st01.php?acd=4

she also mentioned she used to speak in english fluently with his father but when she grows up, she forgot most of it. She never stay with his father anymore?

I'm frankly not sure about that leh Seb

I assumed that she & her dad are not close at all ? It's quite normal in a way or 2

wow I don't think anyone has seen this but this was taken from last Nov's ViVi

http://img173.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/u...sfhjq31508.jpg

oh wow & she's still the spokeswoman for Casio

I know because I saw the back cover of the latest Teenage or was it Teens mag at my end so yeah haha

^She looks great!

And the picture of her pregnancy rocks haha, but where is the baby on the Fishbone presentation? O_o

Those legs...

They look kinda freaky.. Way too long & too thin lol. It is probably because of the angle this picture was taken in.. but still lol

those mag pics are nice! :)

The promotion and accepting an award happen either before she was pregnant or when she was 1 to 2 months along (not looking at dates).

yah! her legs are freaking awesome :luv2 so long and thin

ok that DVD of Anna which will be out on 17th March

it's titled BLUE PACIFIC STORIES

http://anna-t.com/news.html#100208

not BONEFISH O.o?

Anna's movie is called "Fishbone". Her movie is being released with two other ones (AI's and Micro's) and they're all being released on a DVD, "BLUE PACIFIC STORIES"

Wow, I'd love to be able to watch those.

Of course, with subtitles. :)

I wonder if anna's movie is actually good or not.

I just came around to share those scans of old ads anna did:) They are pretty HQ:D

http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/139...resizep.th.jpg http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/2565/...resizef.th.jpg http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/232...1resize.th.jpg (<- I scanned that one soo badly, sorry~)

thanks for the scans :)

why do I have the whole A BEST 2 vibes with that 2 pics of Anna ? X_____X

^ lol me too

I don't. :D

It looks similar right? :)
I actually had to check if those 2 ads weren't the same picture, just differently colored... they look soo similar~ (btw they aren't the same picture :D)

actually Kazuyoshi Shimomura took some of Anna's photos & he even directed the Kuroi Namida PV alongside with taking the photos for the jacket sleeves

Anna posed in an.an a while back ago & he also was responsible for it too

in fact if you go to http://avgvst.com/photographers/ks/profile.htm , some of what he took of Anna are really nice & pretty good

Yeah, Kazuyoshi is a good photographer. :P

Why yes, they are. :)

In the DVD of NUDY SHOW you can find Casio promotional footage, maybe it's the same footage I'm not sure

I just remember that I wanted the Casio CMs but when I downloaded the DVD I found a larger footage..

cool :)

generally the photos that he took of Anna are great & so's for Kumi

ayumi's just an unfortunate case of having fish lips & etc in her photos .___.

A lot of the time with Ayu, it's actually her fault rather than his. :P
It's stupid to blame the photographer if the model is...less than pretty, if you get what I mean. D:

lol yeah that's true

you look at his works of Kumi , Anna & ayumi . I don't think he's a bad photographer & that goes for the Kuroi Namida PV that he directed of Anna's too

you can get the best photographer in the world but a lousy model can ruin everything & vice versa

^ew that's about as disgusting looking as virgin cat. I can't wait to hear what else this girl has to release. I really love brave vibration, but summer is far over, actually it's almost time for it to start back up again. let's get some more music. :P Unless she's already released more stuff and I'm missing out.

^^ Ummm...... I.... I don't understand. It's so hideous. :(

she's a mommy cow teehee

^better than a naked mommy hitomi :laugh

the picture is hilarious, I cant even judge it as a good or bad pic

I think the belly makes it cute but that's just me :)

I've always tought is really awesome and very original.

I luv that black hair on her. She should keep it more.

Same here :laugh

Anna has never been a safe model lol.

haha yeah

she doesn't mind to take risks when comes to her photoshoots . Some might turn out bad but at least she's willing to experiment/try

Apparently, the baby is due begining of April...we only got a while yet...:D:D

I wonder how long it'll take before we get new music. I'm guessing in the fall? hopefully..

Ooo anna is due soon!!
i wonder what it will be....a little brother? a little sister?!

Pretty sure Sky is gonna want a little brother than a sister ;p

wow anna's pregnant - that's great news ^^

Yeah....i heard the due date is around the begining of April.
Ooo can't wait for the news!

I’m still in pain (tears)
The second time was just as painful
But cute♪ cute baby boy was safely born♪

After this, please take care of of the Anna family♪

http://anna-t.com/blog/index.html

translated by feel_my_mind@LJ

Is her son's name really "Sky"? or is it "Sora" and just translated into Sky?

no really , her 1st born son is really called Sky in English

it's not like what you said , translated from Sora

aw congrats to Anna and her baby boy \^_^/

second son name should be earth or something xD xDDDDDDDD

I'm really interested to know what his name is.

Anna's official home page has been updated.
New single out in july (i think) new single out in august(i think) and new album out in September:D

We still have no name for the baby boy! ;.; i want to knoww

his name is actually sukai which is derived from sky

the kanji is 澄海　which i dont think a common name

Congrats to Anna!
I'm happy to see they're both fine and healthy.^^

But I'm surprised to see that she will release music so soon again. So she don't rest too much with her sons at home after the birth.

YAY!! For some more ana sooN! I wonder what her newborn's name is...
