Feel the Brave vibration in Anna Tsuchiya's 5th thread

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Does anyone know of any other videos with Anna speaking in English? I don't think that Jamaican one showcased whatever proficiency she may have, she just kept on saying "yeah, yeah". I only until they got to the club though.

[prussian blue]

ah, sorry, my eyes must been looking somewhere else few days ago i guess. there's still a gap between anna (with heel) and tomoya

[JackieRos]

^yas i saw this one!

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I love the way she looks with black hair!! This CM makes them look like a couple... he called her by her first name + no honorific too. I know they're not, but just saying ^^;

Anna's material's just great & she was very under-rated for a period of time but I guess in recent times after doing tons of modelling for promo & etc , it helped her to a certain extent

her strip me ? , Taste My Beat EP & the NANA concept album are all straight up rock affairs but not in the case of NUDY SHOW ! where she broke down all the rock roots & went to experiment even more music genres

BUBBLE TRIP is her 1st non rock song & it's ace . The PV's great too

totally, i love BUBBLE TRIP's PV too! i'm gonna listen to those albums you've mentioned, karen. but i thought NUDY SHOW! was a really solid album. it's kinda different than other rock/pop music that i listen to, so that's why it's so cool and experimental!

but btw, has anna fully sung a song in japanese before? i just always hear so much english, lol.

[NintendoHTF1242]

黒い涙 (The Last track on NUDY SHOW!) is in all Japanese. I think it's her only one too.

[Beauty4123]

but if anna was born in tokyo, why dosen't she use more japanese in her songs?

[NintendoHTF1242]

I don't think it matters really. If you're born in Tokyo you're not forced to make music with a ton of Japanese. It's all up to the artist themselves if they want to include Japanese into their songs.

She explained why in her English interview with CNN. I don't really remember the reason why though. I think she said she wanted to stand out more? Though English isn't exactly rare in Jpop.

[Beauty4123]

ohh, i underatand now. i just found it different, since she's fluent in japanese but not so fluent in english, despite all the english in her songs.

but i don't really care, i was just curious, lol. anna's songs are still great! i gotta listen to her previous albums this weekend. which one do you guys like the most? (excluding NUDY SHOW!)

let's just say that Nagase doesn't have that typical Johnny's Idol like look

my younger sister was shocked when I told her he used to go out with ayumi cos she can't see them together as a couple

===

Kazuyoshi Shimomura directed the Kuroi Namida PV - http://www.avgvst.com/photographers/ks/profile.htm

he also shot some photos of Anna too in which they look great

Yeah, oh well as long as it sounds good I don't mind engrish. ^_________^
And yeah, I was looking through Kazuyoshi's portifolio a while ago and the stuff isn't bad!

[NintendoHTF1242]

omg I didn't know he shot the cover for MiChi's PROMiSE D:

yeah the photos he took of Anna are great , I don't know why there's so much hatred towards him

it's not easy being a photographer & those haters who doesn't like him , they should do it & see how tough it's to be 1

ANYWAY ...

@ Lisa - if you like her straight up rock tunes , then her older material is equally good

that's if you're quite open minded about it

[Beauty4123]

oh i love rock! so i should be pretty content but what album do you prefer the most? not including NUDY SHOW, though, since i heard that already.

I will say all haha

cos she's 1 rare artiste that I generally like all of her material . But I guess for your case , you probably can listen backwards

like start from her NANA concept album & work your way back to strip me ? & then Taste My Beat

[Beauty4123]

haha okay then! i'll be listening to those this weekend!

(after i watch NwP on friday...)

[KarenPang]

ok no problem & oops , I still haven't watch NwP yet

me need to plug on NUDY SHOW ! now
