Real Name: Shimabukuro Satsuki (島袋さつき)
Stage Name: Kuroki Meisa (黒木メイサ)
Birthdate: May 28th, 1988
Birthplace: Nago, Japan
Label: STUDIOSEVEN Recordings
Born to a Japanese mother and a father of half-Japanese and half-Panamanian descent, as the youngest of four sisters, she was discovered by a fashion scout while at the second year of junior high in Okinawa. She subsequently began modeling, initially modeling exclusively for the popular fashion magazine JJ. While studying at the Okinawa Actors School, she was a member of the school's B.B. Waves group, graduating in 2007. On February 2004, Kuroki made her acting debut and first starring role in the plays "Kita-ku Tsuka Kōhei Gekidan Butai" and "Atami Satsujin Jiken Pyonyang Kara Kita Onna Keiji" respectively. Since her debut, she has continued to perform in theater, films and television dramas. In 2007, she received the Newcomer of the Year award at the prestigious 44th Annual Golden Arrow Awards. During the same year she appeared in Fumihiko Sori's CGI anime film Vexille. Kuroki has also appeared with her close friend Maki Horikita on photobooks and a short film: "Kimi no Yubisaki". In 2009, Kuroki was chosen as the Japanese face of international fashion brand Emporio Armani, also appearing in numerous events for the brand worldwide. She also starred in "Dance, Subaru!", which was produced by the noted film producer Bill Kong, and Assault Girls, directed by Mamoru Oshii. In 2010, Kuroki was chosen as the international face of French cosmetic brand L'Oréal.
Kuroki performed on the soundtrack of her 2007 movie Crows Zero, which she had also appeared in. On June 21, 2008, her debut single, "Like This," was released on Sony Music Records. It was soon announced on February 17, 2009 that Kuroki's first album, Hellcat, would be released on April 8, 2009. Her second album and first EP, Attitude, was released in January 2010.

Haha, I was considering making a Meisa thread, but I didn't think anyone else was interested in her  I like her  Despite her being one of the bazillions of singer-actors I don't usually like. Maybe 'cause she's hot as hell  My favorite song of hers is "Bad Girl" or "Shock -Unmei-".
And I can't believe her new single is gonna be called "LOL!"  . |

me too, I didn't think anyone else at Channel-Ai like her (especially her music)
I listen to her stuff since her debut, though I honestly don't think much of 5-Five ... thought she was improving especially since her second min album had some decent songs ... 5-Five was a step backwards imo
but I like Shock -Unmei- didn't think anyone else did since so many people say such bad things about it. I just like the music at the start since it is taken from classical music |

@Sakura: Was she seriously?!  I need to re-watch that movie!
@Flint: I would say it's a good movie  It has "Renai Shashin" in the end credits |

Yes she was in Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru. Aoi Miyazaki and Tamaki Hiroshi are the main characters, but she played the second female lead ... she had quite a bit of scenes
I like I like Awakening the most but that's because it's a ballad. Never thought she would do a slow song, but glad she tried.

The PV for "LOL!" is out.  The verses and the rap-parts are fierce, but the refrain sounds boring.  |
