[edit] Modelling career

Tsuchiya was scouted by Seventeen magazine at age 14 to start a modelling career. Her 

demand as a model grew, and by 2002 she was doing television ads for UNIQLO, Edwin,

and KOSE products. Even though she got involved in other projects afterwards, she todaystill remains an in-demand model for magazines like Kera, Soup, Zipper , and other youth

 punk fashion magazines.

[edit] Music career

[edit] Spin Aqua

In late 2002, Tsuchiya joined with ex-Oblivion Dust member  Kaz Iwaike to form Spin

Aqua. The duo debuted in 2002 under Ki/oon Records and held a concert in December atthe Tokyo Bay NHK Hall. They released three singles, one album, and a video collection,

 but didn't fare well commercially. They later slipped in hiatus before permanentlydisbanding in 2004, due to Tsuchiya's pregnancy and engagement to fellow model

Joshua. On November 19, 2005, Anna's first child, Sky, was born. In early July, 2006, it

was announced that Tsuchiya and Joshua were getting divorced.

[edit] Solo

Anna was quiet musically until 2005, when she announced plans to go solo for the first

time. On August 24, 2005 she released her first independent mini-album, Taste My Beat 

under  AVEX's sub-label, Mad Pray Records. She released a single called "SLAP THAT NAUGHTY BODY/MY FATE" on March 23, 2006. She also released her first remix

album, Taste My xxxremixxxxxxx!!!!!!!! Beat Life! on the same day. Her third single,

"Rose", (released June 28, 2006) was used as the opening theme from the  NANA anime."Rose" was her first single to reach a position in the Top 10 of the Oricon Charts and

 peaked at #6. On August 2, 2006, Tsuchiya released her first full-length album, "strip

me?", which reached #11 position.
