Anna Tsuchiya (born March 11, 1984 in Tokyo, Japan) is a japanese singer, model, and actress of mixed white And Japanese descent.
As a powerful personality artist spanning fashion, rock, quadratic and film and television, she returned to Shanghai after three years, and this time it is an honor to conduct an exclusive interview with her before the performance, so let's follow Ziyan Music to get a glimpse of it! She's still that na na~
Q: You are both an actor, a model, a singer, and different roles in life, what do you think? And how do you find balance between these different characters?
I didn't deliberately look for a balance, these are all talents that can stimulate me as an artist, so I don't try to give them a high or low. But even so, the music is more able to reflect the value of my life, and the rest is done as a joy in my life and work.
q: What was your motivation to become a model, actor, or singer? Are there any changes in mood?
There's a little bit of a change, hahaha. I became a model when I was 14 years old, when I was attracted to the modeling agency, and I have been modeling for magazines ever since. I used to be a sports girl and never thought I could be a model. However, after working as a model, I gradually became interested in clothing and show business. And also met many people, and gradually became a rock style in terms of clothing and image. And when I was working as a model, I was listening to rock and roll music all the time, and people around me knew I liked rock and roll, and sometimes I hummed it myself in the car, and then I went on the path of music. So if I hadn't become a model, I wouldn't be where I am now.
q: I heard that you have worked with Amuro San, can you share it?
The mood at that time was actually very complicated. She was my idol in junior high school, and I was so fascinated by her that I fainted with excitement when I saw her. But when I heard that I could have the opportunity to work with her, I said to myself, this is my job, I can't treat it as a fan, but to respect each other. So I made up my mind to do this job as a rock musician and use my strength.
Q: How did you feel after hearing the news of Amuro San's retirement this time?
I felt a little lonely. But on the contrary, Amuro sauce will always be so beautiful in my heart, so it is actually not bad. But some regret is that her last concert, which I was going to attend, could not be done in the end, so I still dreamed of sharing the stage with her again.
q: In Japanese society, women's voice is becoming more and more important. You are also a mother of 4 children, is there any reason for you to break with tradition and common sense and stick to the showbiz circle that is active in Japan?
In fact, I like traditional, my mother is also a kimono dresser, and I personally like to watch Chinese acrobatic performances. This traditional thing is to convey something to others, and it has to be admired. But it is not necessary to say whether tradition should be followed 100 percent. Times change, the world is changing, and sometimes it is not necessarily necessary to stick to the rules. I'm the kind of person who deserves to keep good things, but who actively changes if I feel it's wrong to do so. I'm not the kind of person who breaks all the routines. The conventional benchmark is to put it bluntly, and no one knows whether the benchmark is right or wrong. If I think something is wrong, I change them.
Q: Is there anything you would like to say to today's young people?
Finding the meaning of your own life should be interesting. Of course, people and people, animals, and plants in this world need to learn to coexist, and they need to respect each other. We are all very small beings, but we are also desperately trying to live. So I hope everyone can live a very happy life. Of course, it can't be too willful. How to say it, it is to respect each other, support each other, but be able to maintain each different self. I always hope that everyone can live a simple life and live a happy life. This topic is so difficult, I always feel that it will be longer and longer. Respect others, respect traditions, and break useless rules when they encounter them. Well, I said a lot.
Q: You won an award for your first film appearance, did that affect you?
There's really no feeling. I was thinking, "Huh? Why did I win the prize?" After winning the award, I didn't praise myself, nor did I feel how great I was, but I wondered why I won the award. Maybe it's because that movie is really interesting, that's why I won the award.
q: Do you have any roles you would like to challenge?
I just thought about it before, I wanted to play a cute role, I wanted to play a quiet role! 3 years ago, someone asked me what kind of role I wanted to play, and I said I wanted to play a beautiful role, and then last year, someone invited me to play the villain... Hahahaha.
Q: What kind of movies do you usually like? Is there anything you can recommend to everyone?
Recently watched "A Star Is Born" and Ellie is really fantastic! Lady Gaga plays, in my heart is currently ranked first. I was super touched to see it, and the song was so good. I just love this kind of movie that looks very real and not fancy.
Q: You also said that you wanted to play a cute role, but no one invited you to play this kind of role. So have you considered making your own director?
Ah, the director's words, once I tried it, I will love not to stop. When shooting pv, I think about it a lot. When I write lyrics, hearing the music first creates an image in my mind. So I must have liked this image. However, after becoming a director, you should be so hard that you don't even have time to sleep.
(Question: But you still want to try it, right? ）
Also, I know, I'll try it hahahahahahahaha
q: Can you use some words to describe the life of today's showbiz?
The first word that comes to mind is "super urgent" (busy flying), the feeling of "sighing". There is also the "weed", hahaha, which feels as tough as grass and grows well wherever it is. Weeds are actually very important, but they are hated by everyone and think they are useless things. But weeds can grow everywhere and have a tenacious vitality. I feel like I should have grown into a weed-like person who can fit in wherever I am and won't lose to anyone else. Although there are many people who will cherish me, I am sometimes hated. But that's not bad.
(Question: Even if you are a weed, you are a beautiful weed)
Thank you~
q: Last question, how do you feel differently when you come to Shanghai this time compared to the last time?
It's completely different. The time of the interview is also different, the food is different, and the fans on the scene are also different. Because everything is different, in my opinion, it is impossible to compare with before. I want to accept the present and feel different every time, so that I can contact more different people, stimulate myself more, and pursue the future. Everyone was gentle with me and very good to me. Although the language is different, people still want to listen to my words. To be able to get along with such a person is worth cherishing and thanking every second. I myself should learn more and convey more to everyone.
Originally thought that the interview would end in 15 minutes, but the result was a 30-minute chat with Anna Tsuchiya, she was very nice, very kind, and recorded an exclusive ID for Ziyan Music, the live learning Chinese, and the degree of dedication and cooperation was admirable. I hope Anna Tsuchiya often comes to Shanghai to sing, at least once a year!
