actually the album track has some gorgeous ballad too like forever, aww that song is extremely sad :weep i hate those kind of songs, and also BLUE MOON from slap that naughty body single, serenade, and shape of love

It's going to be hard to top such an amazing ballad like Kuroi Namida but I'm really looking forward to it.

She's one of those singers I wish was crazy active but she doesn't sell (although she's well known) so that's probably why(?). But then again she has her child Sky and she also does movies (though not that often) and she's getting married now!? Yeah she's probably too busy with other stuff then.

^She also had another child.

forever is my FAVORITE Anna ballad, it's also my favorite track on strip me? <3

I like her ballads a lot actually, the only things I don't like from her in general are a few tracks on strip me?

I love Forever too, but for some reason I hear her sing "chlamydia"... xD

yeah her ballads are really great

It's funny but when comes to double A-side singles of hers , she always tend to exclude them from her albums X____X

like MY FATE & sweet sweet song , they weren't included in both albums of hers T_T

I guess it's good cuz it leaves more room for album tracks..

I looove Forever, too! And Serenade! Two of my favourite songs of hers, actually. :love She's one of those people, to me, that doesn't seem like she would have good ballades, but she actually does! :D

I don't know if anyone knows this but Anna is friends with DAIGO

you can see some pics with both of them together in DAIGO's DAIGO ROCK / DAIGO OFFICIAL BOOK VOL.1 photobook (it was released last year during when NUDY SHOW ! was released) which I scanned it during the weekend

LOL the WISH rock pose never gets old :laugh

one little song is one of her best ballads too <3

aw I love Anna's pics with Daigo
I was just watching Kamikaze Girls and Anna is so cool in it

OMG Anna's legs are skinny =p

how tall is DAIGO? it must be embarassing if anna is taller than him :laugh (just kidding, karen, dont kill me :P)

heh Seb :laugh

Anna's 1.68m while DAIGO's 1.78m

It's crazy, people like Anna and Namie seem really tall...but they're actually really short. XD

but at least anna is like... 10cm taller than namie, and its pretty tall for japanese ladies... even though the height considered as "short" for western people

^ Whoa, she is pretty tall for a Japanese girl! :O She's 168 cm / 5'6".... That's actually average for a Western, though, right? Most girls I know (the girls I'm talking about are White) are between 5'4" and 5'6"...

if you're 1.68m in Japan & if you're a girl , that's considered tall/rare

I'm like 1.75m so if I go to Japan again , I felt really erm out of place D:

Anna is so awesome in that movie. I can't believe the girls in Kamikaze Girls, "The Taste of Tea", and "Sakuran" are all her.

the pics of her with DAIGO are so cute :3

they look good together!!!

I haven't seen Sakuran yet and The Taste of Tea but Anna is cool as Ichigo :P
