Tsuchiya Anna Declares
"I am completely fine!"
After Ex-Husband's Death
Tsuchiya Anna was casted as the voice of the heroine in the animated film, "Sore ike! Anban-Man, Yousei Rin Rin no Himitsu." Anna commented that she was really glad to have received such a lovely role, since she thought her character was a villain. She loves the fact that she can watch the movie with her 3 year old son, who absolutely adores AnBan-Man. When asked about her model ex-husband Joshua, who passed away suddenly last month, Anna bravely declared, "I am completely fine! I am tough!" She reveals that she depends on her son, who is very reliable, and whom she is securely protecting. Tsuchiya Anna was cheerfully smiling from the start to finish. The animated movie will premiere in Japan on July 12th 2008. (Official Anban-Man Site, June 18th, 2008)
