My Take
I came in expecting a pretty ex-model and walked away a little starstruck, because Anna Tsuchiya doesn't just pose, she detonates. Her turn as Ichigo, the candy-pink biker-gang girl in Kamikaze Girls, is the kind of swaggering, gum-snapping performance that hijacks every scene she's in, and that husky, half-broken singing voice of hers does the same thing to a song. No surprise she nabbed a Blue Ribbon newcomer prize early on. Then she flips into the lush, dangerous courtesan world of Sakuran and somehow makes that work too. What I love is the range paired with this unbothered, off-the-leash cool, like she's never once tried to fit a mold. Watching someone that free makes you feel a touch freer yourself.
