Anna Tsuchiya has packed much into her short career since she first started modeling in her teens in the late '90s. She has appeared in fashion shows and television commercials and performed as a stage actress, while also finding time for a recording career. She did much to confound her image as a pop idol by starring as a foul-mouthed, leather-clad yakuza biker girl in the hit movie Kamikaze Girls. Tsuchiya scored her first Top Ten hit with her third single, "Rose," the opening theme song to the anime television series Nana, in 2006.
