Anna Tsuchiya, PE'Z collaborate on special project
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.
