In 2010, Anzai touched upon the subject in her book �Bardot no Kokuhaku�, and has reflected on the issue with statements like, �I have to be slim.� That�s how it began,� and �In the end, I even weighed 37kg��

Anzai was immensely popular in the 1990s as an actress and singer. She stopped being active in the entertainment industry for a period, but she's returned in recent years. On July 20, she received the question, �What can I lose weight?� from readers of her blog, and she then revealed her past struggles with weight issues: �I dealt with �anorexia� numerous times,� and noted that as a star who was popular in the past, �There were times when I survived on a calorie absorption drink and IV drip at the hospital!�

Anzai explained, �I do not want anyone else to experience that sort of pain.��She also revealed, �I have started a project that I stake my life on,� so one can only wonder what projects she'll be a part of as she shows fans her talent once again.
