I also don't think she gave herself enough time after she had her baby before releasing new music. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to hear some new music from her but I do think she is moving a bit fast.

^ No, it's for her untitled collaboration with PE'Z.
Wish I could take pictures, but strictly no cameras allowed.  I'll write up a report for sure though!

Does anyone here collect Anna's older work from Spin Aqua? Until recently, I had no plans to but I bought Pisces a couple of days ago and now I'm interested in collecting her singles from this album as well as the DVD they released with the videos. From what I see, they're pretty hard to find though but I'm keeping my eyes open.

AND TODAY WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS THE DAY THAT I WAS HUGGED BY ANNA TSUCHIYA
It went something like this: me -->  <-- annaSO. This is how the whole thing went down. The PV was shot at the Shimokitazawa Garden, which is a tiny little live house. There were 300 people chosen to participate, and filming started around 8:30. In our confirmation emails we all got a number (1-300) and we entered in numerical order...but the club is way small, so it really didn't matter what number you had, you could still clamor your way to the front if you tried hard enough. (Which I did. ehehehe.) Despite being number ~250, I was about 4 feet away from Anna by the end of the shoot. At about 9 or so they finally announced they were ready...there were 3 cameras set up in different parts of the club, and the plan was to run the performance once, switch camera angles, perform again, and so on. They planned on doing the song 4 times, and it worked perfectly. Despite some technical difficulties, we finished shortly before 10 and everything else ran like clockwork. So when Anna and PE'Z first came out, everyone went crazy...all 300 of us, crammed in there like sardines.  Anna looked fabulous, as always...her hair (blonde) was up in a high ponytail, and her ponytail was crimped and crazy and backcombed (which meant her hair was everywhere, essentially). She wore a loose-fitting black jumpsuit with red and blue...they look like birds? (like the silhouettes of birds.) all over it, and it plunged really low in the front and she had a black bandeau top-bra-thing on underneath, if memory serves. During the beginning of song (all 4 times they filmed it) she had these crazy sunglasses on with round, red frames. Fun fun fun! Her makeup was awesome and she had pink lipstick on, and then her lips were COVERED in glitter on top of that...it looked smashing.She and PE'Z came out and talked with us for a little bit (someone congratulated her on having her baby, and she said something along the lines of, "Number 2 already...Man, I'm collecting kids left and right!") I was struck by how funny she was, and she speaks REALLY informally so sometimes it was hard to get what she was saying. But she could see all of us, and the guys from PE'Z were great too. (And insanely good looking...) Anyway, right before the cameras were supposed to roll the first time, they told us there was technical trouble with the something or other...and it would be another ten minutes. There was a collective "awwwww." and Anna apologized, and they went back offstage. 3 minutes later though they fixed it, so they came back on and cameras rolled! It was the first time anyone had heard the song, and omfg it's amazing. It's so much fun! It's like, what you would get if you crossed Shiina Ringo's soundtrack for Sakuran with Reel Big Fish. (Cookies for anyone who gets those two references and can therefore imagine what the Anna x PE'Z collab sounds like.) I can't wait to have it on CD~ After the first run through, I think Anna had gotten a little too intimate with the mike...because her lipstick (glitter included) was ALL OVER HER CHIN. Oh god, we were laughing so hard, because she had absolutely no idea how bad it was, and had to go offstage to fix it (saying as she went, "I'm going to fix my mouth.") And then someone had to come up and clean the microphone off.  She came back on stage shortly after and kind of looked at the microphone with an apologetic look, then cleaned it off again for good measure. Over the course of the next 3 performances, nothing was really different...lots of jumping around, NO AIR CONDITIONING (to give you a picture: 300 people, crammed into an air conditioner-less room, jumping around, when it's NINETY DEGREES [fahrenheit...30 C] outside with 85% humidity?! holy crap, we were all miserable). Anna and PE'Z kept remarking about how hot it was and all of a sudden Anna goes: "I WANT A BEEEER." Everyone laughed, and even though I don't like beer, I had to agree that it would have been perfect at that moment in time. D: Before things wrapped up she said they would be doing concerts over the summer (YAY) and that they're going to be a part of Summer Sonic's lineup! (Which means I am so there.) So she asked us all to come, they all thanked us, she ran up and down the length of the stage giving high fives to people in the front (I was right there, but about 3 people deep and she saw me but couldn't get to me, so she waved and smiled at me instead. 4 feet away~~~) And then we dragged our hot and sweaty selves back to the basement, got our stuff from the coin lockers, I finally took my 5" heels off, and then we went outside...INTO THE BLISTERING HEAT AND 85% HUMIDITY  From one hell to another. Dripping. With sweat. So gross. So so gross. Japan isn't supposed to be like this until August, I don't know what the hell is going on!SO. The awesome part. There's a 7/11 right next to the Garden so I bought a bottle of water and looked for a place to crash/rest my feet while I inhaled it...a lot of people were gathered at the entrance but I knew there was a side entrance (literally around the corner) and sure enough, I peered over and absolutely no one was standing there. Perfect! There's also a parking space (though there were no cars) and I had a hunch...just a hunch...that it's the entrance that the band would use. I didn't know if they'd shoo me away or not if they knew I was waiting for Anna and PE'Z, so I just huddled up against a wall with my water and my cell phone, looking busy, not really paying attention to anyone. And then...they pulled over two cabs from the street, and had them wait. And the guy who pulled them over (who had a backstage pass on his shirt) made a phone call and said, "The taxis are here~." And I crossed my fingers... There were only 3 other people who had been a part of the shoot that were waiting in the same vicinity I was...I was the first one there, and I saw a guy waiting near the corner (but he disappeared before they ended up coming out), and 2 girls came over and waited quite close to the door. Not 3 minutes later, everyone came out! And I was in shock, not quite knowing what to do...I think I made myself TOO invisible because no one from PE'Z saw me except the trumpeter, and we smiled and nodded/bowed at each other. PE'Z made their way to the two waiting taxis and Anna stopped to talk to the two girls...for quite a while...and I was getting worried that she was going to skip right over me (I was behind her) and the girls were smart enough to bring her a beer, after she wouldn't stop talking about it on stage! (And I was like, damn, why didn't I think of that ) But then, as she turned to walk away from them, I just went for it and said "Anna!" And she looked up, it was like a lightbulb went off in her head and she was like "HI!" And she walked over to me and hugged me.  I think she was worried about me not understanding Japanese, so very slowly she said "Mata kite ne~" (literal translation: "come again, okay~?") and then I pulled out the big guns and said, "So you're having concerts this summer?" She looked kind of astonished for a second and then said, "Your Japanese...it's so good. O__O" I played it off, no it's not, etc, and she said "YES IT IS!" And I blushed and said, "Are you doing anything besides Summer Sonic?" To which she replied, "When the dates are set, they'll probably..." and I finished her sentence and said, "...will be put up on your website?" She kind of kept staring at me and said, "Okay, your Japanese is way too good." And I was like, "No, it's really not!!!" She asked me my name, and I told her, and she said she hoped to see me again...and I bowed and thanked her and she bowed back (I swear, I did it by habit, I'm turning Japanese) and smiled at me as she left...and she had to move kind of quickly because all the people who'd been waiting at the front had caught on to the fact that she was out there mingling with people and a herd of people went down the street after her.  AND THAT'S MY EPIC STORY. Sorry for being teal deer. It's nearly midnight and I've got enough energy going through me to power a small village! She's so lovely~~~
