In late 2002, Tsuchiya joined with ex-Oblivion Dust member Kaz Iwaike to form Spin Aqua. They released three singles, one album, and one video collection before Anna announced in November 2003 that she was pregnant (at age 19) by husband Joshua (another half-Japanese model) and was leaving the band. In February 2004, Anna gave birth to a baby boy. It was announced in early July of 2006 that Anna and Joshua divorced. Tsuchiya gained custody over their child.
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 solo music style consists of a loud J-rock style, sometimes so loud that her voice seems to be consumed by the background music. Most of her songs consist of either completely English or mixed English and Japanese lyrics.

You're my fire
You take me higher
Yeah, our situation's gonna blow
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher
Yeah, our situation's gonna blow
It's taken me a while
To realize
Just what exactly it is
I'm chasing
I'm tryin' to say
You move too fast,
you're on your way
And all I do is fall back
I know you think I'm shy
I realize
I'm not exactly what you needed
It's hard to speak
My thoughts too fast,
they get away
Only when around you
Let's get away
Far enough
Get away yeah from it
Let's get away
Far enough
Yeah you know it now
Let's get away
Far enough
Get away yeah from it
Yeah, I'll make it work
'Till you know that
you can love me
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher
Yeah, our situation's gonna blow
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher
Yeah, our situation's gonna blow
If fate lets me I'll try
To understand
Just what exactly it is
I'm facing
I am too high
You move too fast,
you're on your way
And all I do is fall back
Now I close my eyes
I don't see why
I'm not exactly what you needed
It's hard to speak
My thoughts too fast,
they get away
Only when around you
Let's get away
Far enough
Get away yeah from it
Let's get away
Far enough
Yeah you know it now
Let's get away
Far enough
Get away yeah from it
Yeah, I'll make it work
'Till you know that
you can love me
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher
Yeah, our situation's gonna blow
You're my ginger
You're my fire
You take me higher
Yeah, our situation's gonna blow
The song "Ginger" by Japanese singer Anna Tsuchiya in collaboration with Canadian band Monkey Majik features lyrics that convey the message of chasing someone or something that one desires, even if it means falling back in the process. The opening line and chorus of the song, "You're my ginger, you're my fire, you take me higher, yeah, our situation's gonna blow," suggests that the person being referred to is like the spice ginger, adding flavor and excitement to the singer's life. However, their situation is precarious and may blow up, possibly implying that they are involved in a risky relationship.
