I'm surprised that strip me? and Nudy Show never made it to the top 10, despite selling 50k. I doubt this one will, though... |
erm no , NUDY SHOW ! debuted at #10 , 2 years back when it was released ;)
for strip me ? case , its peak position was #11 |

#9 is decent :D

Photos of Anna from today's Inazuma Rock music festival
http://inazumarock.com/report/wp-con...0/09/anna1.jpg http://inazumarock.com/report/wp-con...09/anna021.jpg it's a 2 days music event & apparently , she's the 1st person who started performing after the opening act ジン http://inazumarock.com/report/ |
ewwwwwwwwwwwww i hate tattoos
|
I think those tattoos are fake & hand drawn
I don't know if Anna has any to begin with like http://img.yaplog.jp/img/02/pc/b/r/z...pei/2/2103.jpg those are definitely not real :laugh |
I hate her t-shirt D:
I'm always curious because of her tattoos... |
isnt she has a tattoo on her back or sthg? you can see them in the making of virgin cat
|
Actually I'm not sure how many tattoos she have haha. I think she has two... but they are so big and it seemed to have many more. The back-tattoo I think is part of the tattoo on her right side... But that's just my opinion!

Since Anna was the 1st person whom performed at the Inazumarock festival , no surprises she blogged about it earlier on
She also blogged about DAIGO too YAY 8D . I can't wait for my friend to get it translated as I haven't read about Anna blogging about DAIGO & the vice versa , since both of them are friends in real life this should be good x) |
Of course her tattoos are real haha
|
anna looks fierce! :cool
|
No early Rip of the new album ? Like Ayu's or Kuu CDs ? :(
|
No. As always xd. Nobody want to leake it... 7.7
|
it'll probably leak by wednesday or thursday, at the latest. :yes
|
Ooo after several mediocre covers, RULE is really, really good. :yes
|
Sorry I said "leake" lol
I can't wait till wednesday!!!! >_< I want RUUUUUUUUUUULE!!! I can't buy it until october... T-T but I want to listen it!! |
Translation of Anna's Sat blog entry
http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/278004.html Well, as I thought, DAIGO, you're an ikemen naa (good-looking guy) I'm so glad that we could sing on the same stage again! :D |
|
........................................... ¬¬
This can't be true... |
Considering how big her singles flopped, I really think this was to be expected.
Also, judging by how little the no. 3 sold ON THE FIRST DAY (5.5k) I fear for the worst >_< |
yeah it doesn't surprise me too . You see Atashi & Shout in the rain which both bombed badly
& then now , you see little if no promo going on for RULE somemore not exactly the kinda comeback I was expecting from Anna |
Is clear that in AVEX are people very stupid. They fail to recognize the talent of their artists, and they dedicate to promoting just a few of them...
I always said and I'll continue to say it: AVEX sucks a lot |
omg at the #3 only selling 5.5 lol. Anna's album must have only sold like, 1,000 copies. All a promotional fail on avex's part.
|
Quote:
they put in more $ in promoting ayumi , Kumi , Namie because they're more profitable in bringing in $ for avex as compared to Anna it's not just her alone . OLIVIA is another prime eg. where she's really talented but does avex care about giving her decent promo ? of course not :o |
Quote:
|
both ladies are in sub divisions companies within avex
Anna's material is released via Mad Prey Records while OLIVIA's via cutting edge if Anna's stuff is released via the main avex branch/head office , then sure , not a problem , more could have been done I wonder would things been done differently if she's in another label or something |
I wonder the same xD
|
RULE is not as bad as I thought it would be but it's her weakest album, imo.
As expected, the album tracks are better than the single ones haha. I still don't like Atashi nor Shout in the rain and I still don't understand why HEY YOU! and GUN! GUN! LOVE! are included since they are just crap (imo). The song with PE'Z and MY BATTLE are quite terrible too xD But I really like NEVER EVER, JUDGE, Human Clay and Voice of butterfly! <3 |
yep, that album deserves that number, truly, even a bit lower.
|
Quote:
for me , I like NEVER EVER . It's nice & I'm happy that GUILTY is included too but yeah singles wise , they're bad except for Brave vibration & I guess they include both B-sides to beef things up of sorts MY BATTLE is just random o_o HUMAN CLAY is good Despite all these , I preordered the Taiwan press / CD + DVD via 5music last week so 8D In a way , I'm relieved the album tracks are pretty good . If not , man I don't know what else to say .__. |
#19 just sucks :shakehead i'll listen to the album soon, though!
|
I listened to the album a while ago and it's actually a lot better than I expected. The second half of the album is so good. MY BATTLE, NEVER EVER, Human Clay, JUDGE and Voice of butterfly are all fantastic.
|
I'm happy that the album tracks are generally much better than the singles
at least I don't feel that bad when my copy of RULE arrived somewhere next week or so xD Voice of butterfly is awesome *__* |
downloading Rule ^__^
KarenPang Daigo cosplay Hyde on your signature? xD |
LOL
nope DAIGO didn't cosplay as hyde in my signature he was doing something X-rated much later on after doing that 8D but it's quite explicit so I'm not going to say what exactly he did :innocent anyway , most of the album tracks in RULE have grown on me quite considerably I still find MY BATTLE really random/weird o_o |
Somebody knows where can I found the lyrics of RULE? (All the album xd)
|
^ I'm doing the Romaji right now :yes
|
Really? Thank u! I want to know japanese too >.<
|
No problem! :D
She Hates Me Spoiler:
Believe in Love Spoiler:
MY BATTLE Spoiler:
NEVER EVER Spoiler:
Human Clay Spoiler:
JUDGE Spoiler:
GUILTY Spoiler:
Voice of butterfly Spoiler:
Feel free to correct if there are any mistakes :yes |
I like the new album! Her voice sounds amazing, a shame it's doing bad on oricon :(
|
Ahh.. Voice of butterfly is really great song. Love it so much
|
I like She Hates Me, Human Clay and JUDGE
other songs are quite boring |
She Hates Me and Voice of butterfly are (actually) my favourites from the album. And Human Clay too
Thanks aurelie for the lyrics~ have you got introduction? I'm curious about this song lol |
^ You're welcome ^O^
I don't have the lyrics for the introduction, goo music and uta-net didn't post them :no The album really grew on me, I love most of the tracks now haha My favorites are still Voice of butterfly and NEVER EVER though. I will probably order the CD only edition later <3 |
you know Aurelie , the Taiwan press / CD + DVD of RULE is released today
if you want , you can PM me for help to get it on your behalf via 5music as it's cheaper than getting CD only & let alone CD + DVD from CDJapan :O 5music didn't emailed me today so I assume my copy of RULE will be shipped out next Mon ~_~ |
^ Really? Well, I can't afford it atm but if it's still available in a few months then I'll probably order from them *_*
|
haha don't worry , 5music will have a lot of stock for RULE , I can assure you 8D
http://www.5music.com.tw/CDList-C.asp?cdno=431465679054 but yeah in due time if you want me to help you get RULE from there (as you need to know how to read Chinese in order to navigate their website , no English to switch to X_X) , just PM me & I can help you with that :D I have helped other peeps on here to get material from 5music on their behalf (with them repaying me the $ via PayPal as 5music only accepts credit card) so I don't mind helping you with it , since I'm familiar with how the procedure goes at their end |
Yep... Maybe if introduction is an "introduction" uta-net don't post it... xD
|
anna is singing the theme song for the new BATTLE ROYALE movie. the song is called "CHECKMATE". here's the audio from the trailer (which you can see here: http://www.br3d.jp/)
btw, i've just finished listening to RULE, and i am beyond relieved how much the album tracks are better than the single tracks, lol. but i really do love Atashi & Brave Vibration. :P album tracks that i love are: Human Clay (BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM!), GUILTY, Voice of butterfly, GUN! GUN! LOVE!, HEY YOU!, and JUDGE. i thought MY BATTLE would be a rock song but it was really jazz-ish, haha. i like it, though. NEVER EVER and She Hates Me are good, to. so i guess my least favorite tracks are Believe in Love & Shout in the rain. i just can't get into those songs. :no but overall, it's a great album! i only heard NUDY SHOW!, so to me, that's #1 while EULE is #2. :tipsy |
a new song already ? RULE was barely released :laugh
but anyway , like what Seb said , Anna will be heading to Taiwan to perform & I'm so jealous of him :grumpy xD He bought the Taiwan press / CD + DVD of RULE yesterday & inside , he told me there's a flyer talking about it I hope 5music will ship out my copy of RULE soon ~_~ |
So I finished listening to the whole album. I think the album is good, but just good. Strip me and Nudy show is much more better. But, it still has it own uniqueness. Songs like Voice of butterfly, Guilty, MY BATTLE are awesome. Even atashi started to grow for me, since they put the song just in the right place D:
As Karen said Anna is going to taiwan next month and she's coming to the opening ceremony of an EDWIN jeans store. I really hope I could go (or even the live show =D). It will be such a pleasure to meet Anna! |
Quote:
Besides Japan , Taiwan is a gold mine for jpop so the fact that you're living there currently , eeeee :eviltongu xD jokes aside , I agree with what you said about RULE . Singles weren't good but thankfully the album tracks are stellar so it's not that bad I guess & Anna's not going anywhere now for sure |
Just finished listening to the album. I really enjoyed it. There are some really good tracks. For the single tracks, I was always fond of Brave Vibration and I really enjoy Shout in the Rain. Atashi has started to grow on me - I didn't like it at first.
Voice of Butterfly is simply amazing. :yes :yes I also enjoy She Hates Me, Human Clay, and GUILTY. Most people seem to not like the PE'Z collab song, but for me, it's become an instant favorite. At first I thought I wasn't going to like it, but I was soon tapping my foot to its beat. So yeah, I enjoy it. It appears that I like the songs people seem to dislike. :D JUDGE is good, but it sounds like a song I'd listen to a few times and get completely bored with it. The rest of the songs I don't like. |
I really hope you meet Anna on Taiwan people! ^.^ take photos please!

BREAKERZ's frontman DAIGO blogged today & he posted a photo of himself with Anna <3
http://ameblo.jp/daigoblog/entry-10659370509.html I wait for translation on that , after my friend Nat returns back from Turkey in about a week's time if DAIGO's able to sing a duet with ABC's yasu , I don't see why both he & Anna shouldn't get together to sing a duet , with them being friends |
first week sales of RULE:

|
I want translations for voice of a butterfly... I sounds like it would have touching lyrics!
|
well at least RULE is still top 20 overall :shrug
Ah I want my copy of RULE to arrive at my house now xD I hope the booklet pics will be good |
she looks great in the booklet, but most of them kinda look alike. I thought there will be more variety like nudy show
|
Wow the album did even worse than I expected! T'bad Anna, it really wasn't that bad : /
|
lol honestly , RULE did well despite the cirumstances . I was frankly expecting it to flop horribly with little if not no promo that Anna did for it
oh yeah btw I just realised something earlier on when I was listening to RULE on the MRT train on my way back home , I noticed this 4) Brave vibration 5) Believe in Love 6) Boushoku-kei Danshi !! All start with the alphabet B & all 3 songs have PVs to go along with it Concidence ? :laugh yeah I know I'm being bored & lame currently -_-''' I should start writing my album review for RULE via my music blog now x) |
5k... This is not just.
RULE is too good... |
NUDY SHOW ! is still Anna's best album to date imo
RULE ranks in a bit higher than strip me ? to me because RULE at least still has some good music experimentation going on |
Well, in my opinion, RULE and NUDY SHOW! are so different and I can't compare it... xD But is obvious that NUDY SHOW! is more commercial
|
yay received my Taiwan press copy of RULE today <3
http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/5903/img3256xv.jpg I still don't like the cover but I really like the packaging & the artwork inside the album it's so old fashioned & old school-ish |
Waaaaaaa *O* Can u take photos of the booklet?

the thread that tied our childhood seems like disappeared in the eyelid What is the fate nobody knows, so do I There will be one day, life will torn your body away And float in the air, back to freedom *The butterfly that bloom in the tears falls like a light, drop in darkness of time Only your voice remain beside my ear And there won't be another voice coming anymore voice of butterfly The little light that you gave me Even though it's a saddening night (?? dont get the sentence) The love that you understand after losing it Only flow in the body you're living now and the heartbeat of the tears The lost butterfly that kneels on darkness Swing her wing and sing in the wind This hand, mark the evidence of your injury It won't heal, it won't disappear You dont even know the road that you need to take And I live until now Hey, if we dont ever met wont we hurt each other and meet each other with smile? repeat* |
Kazuyoshi Shimomura is the photographer who took the pics for RULE *currently looking at my CD booklet for the album xD
same thing goes for Kuroi Namida (including shooting the PV for it) , cocoon & Virgin Cat |
And atashi and shout in the rain too

She's red now
|
avex added in today why do we not have more concerts released from her? love her live. |
she's long overdue to release another concert DVD that's for sure
|
The could add "NUDY SHOW! Tour 2008" ¬¬... I watched My Sacred Place long time ago...
I really hope that she releases the Tour 2010 in DVD... T__T I can't go to see it so... DVD please!! |
NEVER EVER is so addicting! I love her tongue rolling in the chorus!
|
|
I can't see the pic
|
|
funny photo, as always
|
O.O where is this?
|
wow her hair is funky!
|
Hello, somebody have all the translations of RULE lyrics? I want it and I can't translate japanese! >.< I need introduction, She Hates Me, Believe in Love, MY BATTLE, NEVER EVER, Human Clay, JUDGE, Shout in the rain, HEY YOU! and GUN! GUN! LOVE!
Thank u |
my younger sister bought this magazine called Autumn & Winter 2010 Collection Book Fred Perry yesterday from Kinokuniya as she wanted a free tote bag which came with it haha
there's a 5 page photospread of Anna which she modelled for the Fred Perry brand & she looked so pretty *__________________* I scanned the images up Previews http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/221...0201000000.jpg http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3...0201000001.jpg http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/5...0201000002.jpghttp://img594.imageshack.us/img594/6...0201000003.jpg http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/4...0201000004.jpg The 1st & 4th pics of Anna are my fave :love Super HQ scans |
Thanks for the scans, Karen!
I totally like the 1st one, she looks amazing <3 I like her shoes too haha |
Thank u so much!
|
oh wow! those scans are gorgeous! :heart thank you so much karen! i really love the last 3 images.
|
Look at the first scan. Why "Amy Winehouse for Fred Perry"?
|
Amy Winehouse also modelled for Fred Perry , there's a pic of her inside the magazine
but yeah it's so weird to stick that label on Anna's pic Shota Masuda also had a photospread of his own inside the magazine & he looked great *__* |
She looks really gorgeous *___*
|
Mod style doesn't really suit her. :/ She looks pretty nonetheless though.
