May 2010 and right after the end of Anna's successful performances in Thessaloniki, Dave visits her there in order to complete two projects!

Their first project is their video clip for their duet song "Leap of Faith", a song which seemed it would be part of a special project. The video was shot at the brand new The Met Hotel of Thessaloniki and was directed by Christine Crokos. Although the whole project started in 2009, we were informed about it by Dave Steward and his twits. "DAVE'S TWIT". However the leaked photos from the shooting of the video seem outstanding!

The second project by Anna and Dave was their mutual performance at the first ceremony of the Balkan Music Awards hold in Sofia, Bulgaria, where Anna was awarded for her Contribution to Development and promotion of the music from the Balkans and the award for the Best Video on the Balkans for the song "Stin Pyra". Anna's and Dave's performance at the ceremony was the big surprise of the night since they didn't just premiere their duet but also performed a rendition of "Sweet Dreams", the worldwide hit song of Dave with Annie Lennox.

On Tuesday the 16th of February, two days after the celebration of love, Anna performs a slightly different show making an incredibly sensual entrance with her ballad "Pio Konta" at the "Vissi in Love" concert hold at Athinon Arena for Love Radio.

On the 3rd of April, after 7 long years the fans from Thessaloniki are more excited than ever since Anna is premiering her "Fabulous Show" there. Anna is crowned with success and a full "Pyli Aksiou Night Club" sings "Im fabulous!" for more than a month.

Anna has always been unstoppable and she proves it yet again with a tour in Australia after almost a year full of live performances in Greece. Anna strikes again when she lets a fan get on the stage and show to her his tattoo with her face, making him famous all over Greece since a video of the incident is uploaded online and its discussed for over a month in all greek blogs and websites, while the video had more than 100,000 views in just a few days.

Right after her tour in Australia, Anna lands in Cyprus for two unforgettable concerts, one at the Pattiheio Ampitheatre of Larnaka on the 7th of July and one at the Paphiako Stadium on the 9th. Anna surprises her audience once again by singing old songs that havent been heard for a while like "Agapise me", "Mi vazis mavro" and also the song that gave her her first prize at the Music Festival of Thessaloniki in 1977, "As kanoume apopse mian arxi".

On the 14/7 Anna sings at Mitrousi in Serres making this her last concert for the summer! The concert fascinates the audience and at the final part of the show she is found between the players of the local football team which organised the concert and sung with Anna the song "Stin Pyra".

On the 15th of October and for a second year, Anna welcomes the Athenian-and not only- audience to the biggest and most brilliant night club in Athens, Athenon Arena. However this year she's not alone but with Sakis Rouvas on her side. The long-waited collaboration of the two super stars puts the Athenian nightlife on fire and twice a week-every Friday and Saturday- 4000 of people overfill the huge night-club in order to enjoy the stunning show set up by Anna and Sakis after 14 years of their first collaboration at club "Chaos". The show was choreographed by the worldwide known choreographer of Hollywood, Margueritte Derricks, and was directed by Christine Crokos, while the visual graphics by Christos Magganas completed the exceptional show. The most pop show of the year, which is accompanied with new albums by the two artist is named "Face 2 Face" since its clearly facing on the collaboration of the two stars!

Renowned artist Naoki Misuse has created an animated television advert titled "Topoli" for the Japanese beverage producer "Sake". The song featured in the advert is Anna's song "To Poli Poli" from the album "Kravgi", music by Nikos Karvelas and lyrics by Dimitris Patsiou! In one of the ad's scenes, the cover of a newspaper is displayed with a photo of Anna and the title "Superstar Anna Vissi"!
The creator of the advert, Naoki Misuse, spoke exclusively to fANNAtics.gr about this project!
"Tateyama Brewing Co. asked me to make the advert to be shown in selected areas of Japan." Tateyama Brewing is the producer of the "Sake" drink in Japan. It has a well established reputation and one of the purposes of the advert was to promote the new drink.
"The song was chosen by the company for the advertisement. I've never had the chance to meet Anna Vissi, I wish i had! However, I'm so proud to give life to the song "To Poli Poli".
"Tateyama Brewing Co. is located in Toyama, near the sea of Japan. It is certainly an unusual way to advertise Sake in Japan. As you would imagine, not many adverts in Japan feature an animation and song by Anna Vissi!"
"The scene with the newspaper is there to help Japanese viewers understand who's singing. Usually this is achieved by using subtitles at the bottom of the screen, but I felt this was a more creative way to do it."

“I'm not afraid to go against my usual image. Although sometimes it seems that I am strategically organized in everything I do, this is not true. I'm not just fearless in spoiling my image but I'm also passionate about breaking the rules and leaving everything I've done behind for something new. I'm kind of like Emma Thomson in "APOMEINARIA MIAS MERAS". As a person I always try to be the first who will give something in a relationship in my personal life or on my work and then I expect from the others to give something back.” , Interview at VimaGazino, 5/12/10

«With the Karvelas – Vissi couple worked very hard when Nikos came to Sony Music. There is a tremendous amount of mutual respect between us and we had lots of good times on a daily basis together. I played a big part in the rebirth of Anna with the disk “Kati Simvainei” and Nick made his debut substantially with the album “Sa Diskos Palios” , which contained the hit “Kalokairines Diakopes” , where i participated as the executive producer. And fortunately, it is one of the few things which I don’t regret. Over the years they always loved me, I always loved them and the mutual respect still continues on.» Giorgos Poluchroniou, 25 years dodeka, Fannatics.gr, 12/10

I believed in her since then, she had an amazing sparkle.» Takis Mpougas, Espresso, August 2010
