In June 2017, Anna won an audition held by Sony Music Artists (under the Sony Music Management Teichiku Entertainment), which had 10,000+ applicants.

Her unique playing style on the acoustic guitar, distinct vocals, and relatable lyrics tend to draw in fans from all generations.

Anna’s major debut single, “ALRIGHT” stands out with its use of the acoustic guitar, clear vocals, lyrics, and catchy melody. The guitar solo in the middle is a nice fit and Anna’s vocals make this a perfect debut track. “TOKYO NITE” opens of with a saxophone, pulling you into the track; from there the acoustic guitar takes the main stage with a mixture of the saxophone giving it a unique feel. “TOKYO NITE” is a nice chill track that keeps you interested and enjoying the melody along with Anna’s befitting vocals and nice rap. “Ice Cream” is a cutesy pop track that gives you the feeling of summer romance with its love obsessed lyrics. “Ice Cream” is a track that you cannot stop listening too; the melody is perfect and Anna’s vocals and rap have the perfect transition. Anna knows how to switch between English and Japanese flawlessly and the guitar placed in this track gives it a nicely soothing yet cute feeling that fits with the lyrics. Anna’s latest single “Now For Ever with AFRO PARKER” is a nice duet with a chill beat and gives off the fusion feel mixing pop with hip-hop.
