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.

土屋アンナ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My unfriendly smile on my way
Nothing new this wearisome day
This world is full of narcissist
The girls dressed are just a put-on
Oops! I'm all thumbs, I'm not like you
Everybody's looking at me. Everybody's laughing at me
So what! Don't care what people say.
* I'm going my way. I believe in my way
I'm better than you guys.
I'm living for my sake, not for their sake, yeah!
I'm finding my way. I'm finding my love
I'm not stupid like you
All that I need is, I only need is selfless love
All I don't need is, I only need is selfless love
They think I'm a lucky girl
But I'm just doing what I want
Hey Everybody, they're Jealousy about me
You guys are wrong, be truth to yourself
Throw your guns & weapons right now
Let's enjoy your beautiful life with me
Everybody hates me. Everybody's waiting for me
Everybody's hurting at me. Everybody's hunting for me
So what! please leave me alone!
I'm going my way. I believe in my way
I'm better than you guys.
I'm living for my sake, not for their sake, yeah!
I'm finding my way. I'm finding my love
I'm not cheap like you guys
All that I need is, I only need is selfless love
All I don't need is, I only need is selfless love
* repeat
The lyrics of the song "zero" by 土屋アンナ (Anna Tsuchiya) express the singer's defiance towards societal pressures to conform and the toxic environment of narcissism and jealousy that surrounds her. She finds her reality to be strange and uncomfortable, reflected by her unfriendly smile, and wishes to distance herself from the people around her who are fake and untrustworthy. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm going my way, I believe in my way" which underscores the singer's determination to follow her own path in life and not let the negativity of others affect her.
Line by Line Meaning
My reality is something weird
My life feels strange and abnormal
My unfriendly smile on my way
I force a fake smile to hide my true feelings as I go about my day
Nothing new this wearisome day
Every day feels like the same tired routine, nothing exciting or new
This world is full of narcissist
I see many people around me who are self-centered and selfish
The girls dressed are just a put-on
The way people present themselves is often just a facade or act
Oops! I'm all thumbs, I'm not like you
I am not as smooth or confident as those around me
Everybody's raping me. Everybody's lying to me
I feel violated and deceived by everyone around me
Everybody's looking at me. Everybody's laughing at me
I feel judged and ridiculed by those around me
So what! Don't care what people say.
