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.

The singer starts by expressing their loneliness, standing alone and recalling a rainy day they can't forget. They seem to be chasing after someone's shadow, but it's all over now, just like the sand slipping away. Every night, they sigh and scream and cry, haunted by a quiet sorrow that they plead with God to forgive.
But now, the singer declares that they don't need to hide anymore. They are flowing towards a shining blue light, just keep moving forward. They emphasize that the listener has a chance and power now, urging them to realize and embrace their true self. The singer is ready to show their life, their love, everything to the listener, encouraging them to not be afraid.
