Anna will hold 4 concerts (2 concerts each date) in February for her birthday

ANNA TSUCHIYA "Birthday Live 2020"

2020.02.05 Osaka
2020.02.26 Tokyo

avex Taiwan uploaded this short video of Anna which she wished everyone happy Lunar New Year

https://www.facebook.com/avextw/videos/151857666233179/

Anna tried her best to speak Mandarin which's not easy to do for a Japanese

Luckily the video has Mandarin subtitles which I'm able to read what Anna said even though Traditional Mandarin is not my forte

After Anna wished everyone happy Lunar New Year , she said with this year being the year of the rat , it's her year ie. she was born in the year of the rat

And Anna hopes that she'll be able to perform in Taiwan again in the near future & that everyone will have a good 2020

A chinese song would be so nice

Special cocktail drink will be sold at next Wed's Birthday Live 2020 in Billboard Live OSAKA

That's such a weird setlist for this kind of live! She usually performs her ballads and many covers but this time is quite different! Although "Alive" and "Best of You" are probably covers (for Sia's and Foo Fighters' songs respectively) I wish those were new songs, it wouldn't be the 1st time she performs songs before releasing them (she did that with Melt Into Blue and UP TO YOU back in 2013)

I agree , some of the song choices in the setlist are quite weird especially given the venue

Billboard Live OSAKA is a premium entertainment venue that has a live band and unlike the usual concert venues , you have to wear formal attire if not you will not be allowed in

In this context , the more harder emo rock songs probably were given a musical makeover in the setlist

I luckily attended Anna's Birthday Live and Tears of love was delicious!!

When we were just on the fourth song "knock down" Anna went downstairs to sing to the seats!! Before going downstairs she asked everyone to move and make some noise, so things went crazy, it was really fun!! I really don't know HOW to dance a rock song so I was just there clappin and jumping lol but I managed to handshake Anna I was so happy. I attended to the second gig so the setlist was sightly different.

She sang Lady Gaga's movie song so beautifully I was about to cry

I was dissapointed that nobody bought Anna's merchandise...

This is actually the second stage setlist 🤔 Maybe they changed things a little! I thought it was official because it was a picture of the setlist on the stage

I think it's such a shame to not release DVDs of these concerts... Or at least a CD, since she doesn't release new music :(

Yeah I agree cos the interior inside Billboard Live OSAKA is different from a typical concert venue as not only it's much smaller but it's more upclose and personal in a formal setting

Same thing goes for Nagoya Blue Note , Blue Note Tokyo that Anna used to perform in before

I know Anna doesn't sell well anymore but it wouldn't hurt for avex to release at least digest footages of such premium live concerts she did over the years :s

It's better than having 0 footages to begin with

When Anna stopped releasing full albums and the only thing she was releasing were mini albums, and most of them with only one or two original songs in them, I used to blame avex a lot because she's really talented and she could be doing great music but they're not giving her a chance...

But since it's been a few years since she released anything I feel like it's not just avex, it's her also. Whenever she's doing an interview and she's asked about new music, she always responds that she likes to try new things and this time I think she has no idea of what to do with her music. I really appreciate that she's trying her best, but Anna, REALLY, it's okay if you release some music that sounds similar to what you've done before xDDDD BUT DO SOMETHING I BEG YOU!

Luckily in the last interviews from Shanghai and Tianjin she said she was working on something and that there were a few more things to get ready so hopefully this year will have something :(

For this type of situation it's hard to say especially since Anna also does other things in showbiz and music just so happens to be 1 of them

I followed Anna's music for a really long time now , way back when she contributed rose for the NANA anime in 2006

What made me like Anna was that for every PV she used to make years ago , she always had a different look in it and seems like most if not all the time she was able to portray so many different looks so effortlessly

I don't know what happened along the way , probably non music related stuff had a cause in this

And this year will be a decade since Anna last released RULE which was her last full length studio album which's just wow o_O

Frankly if Anna wants to release a new studio album unannounced digitally , I don't mind it as long as the material's good especially now at this era , physical CD sales are starting to be a thing of the past

I like some of the cover songs Anna did but that comes a time when enough is enough & I want new Anna original music :s

Lastly with this year being Anna's 15th anniversary in the music business , I sure hope she will do something worth celebrating & not let this milestone fade into obscurity D:

Photos & Setlist from yesterday's live at Blue Note Tokyo.

She looks so beautiful ToT Please release some new music... I always feel so proud and happy but sad at the same time whenever I see these kind of photos!

Are the covers part of the music scene crisis in Japan? 4/6 concerts I attended they featured covers and for a moment I was like :tired "ok I'm done with the covers please sing your original music"

Anyone can say now idols are "the thing" but I tried so hard and couldn't find AKB CDs in Japan (Seriously WTF?) I went to AKB48 and NMB48 offical shops and they were a very depressing place...

The only thing I see Anna releasing soon is maybe a cover released digitally...

I don't know it depends on the artiste you support cos it cannot be all the artistes in Japan will perform covers in their setlist

And for the AKB family tree , I'm no expert but sometimes finding their stuff online is more easier as compared to going to the physical 2nd hand stores

Covers are probably "save" I dunno... but when someone covers a song most people might already know this song from the original Artist/Band and might give the cover a listen?

I do miss new stuff from her too though..I loved the Nana days
even though Lucifer was really amazing too..how long has it been since that was released? lol

2014 soooo... 6 years already lol
And her cover album in 2015 was really nice to listen to but...

I personally don't mind waiting for new stuff to come, but HONESTLY, she said two years ago that she was working on stuff, nothing happened, then she had two daughters and a couple of months ago she said that she was working on music, but that there were some details to fix or something so she couldn't talk about it but I just don't know what to believe anymore

People on weibo asked her a lot about new music and she was like "be patient"... NO GIRL, it's been too long! XDDD

I remember I was a bit lost at following Anna at that time but LUCIFER caught me again and it was so good :luv2

avex today uploaded Switch On！performance from 超英雄祭 KAMEN RIDER × SUPER SENTAI LIVE & SHOW 2020 which was held beginning of the year at Yokohama Arena



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1nJ7D0ThVs

I always forget that Yoshio Nomura is part of Kamen Rider music staff...I think Enrique is also. Just so used to seeing them play with Ayu that I forget they have their own projects.

Anna's opened her own YouTube channel, where she'll be posting videos of her cooking, singing, working out and more. Show her first video some love and subscribe to her channel!

Anna self covered Wonder Woman acapella . She even covered the segments that AI & Namie did in the song :



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIZwvUOjLxk

^I love this. So miss her voice and new songs from her =(

Agree

It has been so long since Anna last released new material :x

She is not even allowed to play the instrumental, that means 0 support from avex :no

That's not true... She's doing all her covers a capella on her YouTube chanel. She likes the challenge of not having instrumental

Now watching! ANNA's WORLD ONLINE LIVE

She just sung JUICY GIRL and BUBBLE TRIP!! <3 I love these

^ Not my favorite songs from the setlist, but overall it was a good show (minus the stream glitches). She looked and sounded great, and it was really nice when she thanked international fans in English.

BUBBLE TRIP is like her best song lol

I uploaded it was beautiful :) !

https://www.facebook.com/10005389365...5706926902428/

^awesome!

She always has such a fun time performing that song, you can tell!

Btw her tiny little dances during the show... So cute ;___;
I really love that she performed Imitation Night, I asked her to do it and she said she would! I got emotional when I heard the first notes of the song 😭❤️

I think she really tried hard so we could enjoy. I think her lives are so powerful because she interacts a lot with the audience, and she couldn't do that this time. But she sounded great and I had a really great time! I think she did too. Too bad the streaming had really bad audio and glitches :(

What glitches you experienced?
It just kicked me out during Switch On!
other than that it was OK

That. It stopped in the middle of Switch On! and when it got me back the rest of the song was not playing well... It was like the video had less FPS than before. Luckily it only happened there and the rest of the live es fine...

Anna released a new beauty line

Tsuchiya Anna Birthday Live 2021 「This is me」

8th March @ Billboard Live OSAKA

11th March @ Blue Note Tokyo (Anna's birthday)

Anna will perform 2 times on both dates

For 11th March , the 2nd session is the only 1 that can be watched online

https://twitter.com/BlueNoteTokyo/st...53459890253825

It looks like it will be stream live on her YouTube channel. It looks like the streaming is free?

No you have to pay $ to watch the concert online

http://www.bluenote.co.jp/jp/artists/anna-tsuchiya/

Streaming+ will air the concert online . It's owned by e+

^ thank you for clarifying. It seemed a bit suspicious they would stream it for free and I didn’t see the link to Eplus at the bottom of the page.

Yes true

Another alternative is if digest footages from Anna's birthday concert were to be uploaded online on YouTube

I've seen that happened to other artistes so I don't see why this will not happen but of course end of the day it really depends if avex are willing to do that

It seems Eplus is not available for overseas fans

I wonder what is this, a new live or the recording of past J:COM live?

Last Nov's SHOOTING LIVE concert that was held at Tokyo's Zepp DiverCity



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6OrpRGOm9Q

The setlist



The 2 songs Anna contributed for the NANA anime are still some of her songs in her discography til now

Does anyone know if there's a way of purchasing the online streaming for the upcoming live? Eplus needs a Japanese phone number to complete the registration D:
I checked eplus' website for foreigners but Anna's live is not on the list

If you have a Japanese forwarder such as tenso, yo could try registering with the phone number they give you or your full tenso address. I don't know if it would work but it should in theory.

No, I don't have anything like that... :( Thanks anyway

Compilation album BEST HITS 40 a-mix will be released on 28th April

And 1 of the songs included in the 40 songs compilation is Anna's Voyagers

https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000199703

I thought avex at most should have included rose if not Kuroi Namida :s

I have an old Sakuran movie poster with Anna I don't want anymore. I have an add online here if you wanna see a photo. If anyone here would like it, I would happily give it away for free, only for whatever shipping would cost. =)

Will them be full ver? I remember avex once released a megahit compilation and tracks were 30-40 seconds each
I'm glad Voyagers got some recognition :love
