Great news!

Thank you so much for all of the new information niiwa! I'm really looking forward to hearing the new song! Plus, I'm currently using the Lipton wallpaper on my computer. My mom saw it yesterday and was commenting on how beautiful she is! :)

You're welcome! :) And your mother has an awesome taste, haha.

Stage Name: Kuroki Meisa (黒木メイサ)
Real Name: Shimabukuro Satsuki (島袋さつき)

I was like WTF when I saw this
I know her neame is long and hard to remeber and its ok to get some pseudo like MEISA but giving a person new name and surname not rly

If I will be a person in department and star like meisa would come with documents with a diffrent name I wll be like OMG like what the hell?

i think i read somewhere her stage name comes from shimabukuro satsuki = Kuroki. i forgot where meisa comes from though. i just remember reading something like this before! i doubt i'm 100& correct so correct me, LOL.

Yes! ~ :D

Meisa comes from May, which is the month which she borned. I'm not sure about from where Kuroki comes from (even with what you said XD), but it can be translated as "Black Tree".

^ haha really? :P i never would have guessed it! although when you pronounce meisa's name, it kinda sounds like may, now that you mention it. i'm so dumb to never realize! :laugh

I had no idea Meisa derives from the way you pronounce May in a different manner :O

I had a rough feeling the 'Kuroki' came from the last few parts of her real & surnames but wow that's really cool

I do learn something new everyday

Does anyone have a download to MAGAZINE in 128kpbs? I'm looking but can't find any links :/

128? Why not 320? >:

128 sounds the same to me and saves me a lot more space on this comp.

if I download something from the net , I will always go for mp3/128kpbs . If not , I downsize the file myself

I can't tell the difference between 320kpbs & 128kpbs either other than 128kpbs files let me save space in my mp3player

if I have the physical CD , I will rip it at wma/48kpbs

===

Anyway , happy 23rd birthday Kuroki :D :D :D :D :D

omg happy birthday to meisa! :heart :heart :heart

Ooo, happy birthday dear meisa!

happy b-day Satsuki :heart

Happy Birthday, Meisa!

omg this girl. I wish I discovered her sooner. I just took a listen to her MAGAZINE album and it's AMAZING. I love how most of her music is upbeat dance music, but her ballads are really good too. Just listened to her One More Drama single and it's also really good. Definitely going to keep an eye on her!

Kuroki Meisa’s new single “Wired Life” chosen as ending theme for “Ao no Exorcist”

Actress-singer Kuroki Meisa’s 5th single “Wired Life” has been picked up as the ending theme to anime “Ao no Exorcist“, which is currently airing on TBS. The song, Meisa’s first to be featured in an anime since her 2008 debut, will go on air beginning July 10th, and the single is expected to be released sometime in September.

It seems that Kuroki was chosen for the anime because of her music’s ability to convey the strength of humanity and the bond between people. She accepted the offer and created the song with the help of producer Nao’ymt (pronounced “Na-oh-Y-M-T”), who has worked with artists such as Amuro Namie and CHEMISTRY.

“Kuroki Meisa’s charm and strength as a human being relates to our main character who goes against all odds to strengthen himself and his friends.”, said the anime’s producer. “‘Wired Life’ is the kind of song that widens your view of the world, and I am very thankful for that”, he added, expressing his gratitude.

“Ao no Exorcist” is based on the popular manga by Kato Kazue, and it has been published monthly in the manga magazine “Jump SQ.” (Shueisha) since 2009. Six volumes have been published, and more than three million copies have been sold.

Great manga, so hopefully she'll also provide us with a beautiful song. Since it's mainly action stuff, it will probably some typical upbeat song...?

love the wired life.. nice title!

Yeap. It's described as a R&B upbeat song!

Kuroki will be appearing as a guest in the next episode of KinKi Kids's Shin Domoto Kyoudai variety show :)

FINALLY i can post in AHS !!!!!
wow, a new single for one of my new favourites animes!!!
And Nao’ymt is a really great producer, he did a great job with namie
i can't wait

Nice.

15 seconds snippet of BREAKERZ's frontman DAIGO with Kuroki for this Sun / 12th June's Shin Domoto Kyoudai

As soon as you click on FujiTV , you can see a popup 15 seconds snippet of BREAKERZ's frontman as a guest for this Sun / 12th June of Shin Domoto Kyoudai alongside with Kuroki :D

WTF not Rock Suberu again T________________T ~______________~ . The fact that he taught EVERYONE how to do it , it's quite embarassing -___________-'''

I know Kuroki will appear on the show this Sun but I didn't expect DAIGO is joining in the fun (even though from his blog , I saw the pics that he took with Takanori Nishikawa but still wow) , this should be awesome to look out for <3

OMG, she looks so cute there! And, is it ok if I kill Shinji Takeda and then hide his body? How dare him to touch Kuroki-san like this? lol

Thanks for sharing Karen! I can't wait to see this!

Waiting to hear a preview of Wired Life now.

only 3 weeks to go! :D

3 long weeks for a long preview (2PM's one has 1:35 lol, it's almost half song!). Sounds fair. :innocent

^ Same XD

Official tracklist for Wired Life/UPGRADE U!

It comes with a special card from anime (random) and a special remix by Nao'ymt.

UPGRADE U! is a pop rock song and it'll be used as Limone (Lipton) tie-in.

pop rock? i wonder how it'll sound like! i still hope it'll be hot! :D

Oh wow, I thought it was Weird Life this whole time. Wired Life is...a cool title haha. Lookin' forward to the single.

Hmm...I'm curious as to what the anime version will variate from the original...also a pop-rock song? Now this should be interesting :yes!

amazing, this single sounds really promising !!!
i can't wait

^It's likely just an opening version - meaning that it's shorter.

Pretty much this! It'll be available on the next Sunday. As soon as it pops out, I'll translate to english~

Oh~ two remixes this time.

UPGRADE U! full audio leaked. Just like I said at JPC, it sounds fun! I like it. Of course, it's not life changing or good as her latest releases, but it's way better than 90% of many j-pop artists have released this year.

Aw, I like it, it is fun :)

it's ok, not my favourite

nice song :) can someone rip it?

Ripped it :)
http://www.mediafire.com/?acez5o5z3m76kg4

i really love "UPGRADE U!" :heart meisa still hasn't disappointed me. :D now i wonder what "Wired Life" will sound like...only a few more days!!

^really, i can't wait, Naoym't (i can't remember the name now, XD) always make nice music

I love upgrade u!!! :)

Thank you! :)

http://6109.jp/meisastaff/
covers were taken yesterday, I hope that giant horse actually will be in the covers, would love it ;)

That would be cool to have in the covers :yes.

that would be so hot! :luv2 regardless, i have a good feeling these will be beautiful covers. :D

I want covers :weep.

It might something like this? If so, it'll be epic, lmao. Btw, I have a feeling that this cover will have a white background just like LOL!. I hope to be wrong!

^wired life ED

↑ Thanks! Despite the amount of autotune, I love it. Her voice is smooth as always.

I love it too, so much better then UU which is still only slightly growing on me.

I like what I hear! :)

OMG i love it so much! it's so different than meisa's past singles. it kinda sounds mysterious, in a way? which makes the song sound very cool. i totally can't wait for the full version! :D

I made a rip of the song. It's directly from the original video and already have the right tags from those who use last.fm. Click here to download.

I completely agree with you. While it's taking some time for "Upgrade U!" to fully grow on me, I instantly fell in love with "Wired Life". I can't wait to hear it in full and see the PVs for both songs!

^^thanks a lot niiwa !
i really like it !!! it's so different and better than Upgrade U

You're welcome! =)

Damn, this single is gonna be so amazing when a better quality is out. I love how chill and beautiful the instrumental to Wired Life is.

Wired Life lyrics:

English


Romaji

"Wired Life" sounds really cool. i love what i'm hearing! :D

"UPGRADE U!" is only OK, imo.

Omg Wired Life sounds sooo amazing!!! This girl never fails to impress!

& Upgrade U sounds good too :yes.

THank you!! :love

It's awesome! :yes

Meisa started to record Wired Life's PV yesterday. It looks good! :')

i like her dress & hairstyle! :heart it's gonna be a great PV, i'm sure! :D

I don't know if that news was already posted:

to see pics + source: Tokyohive

Wired Life covers are out.

http://oh-meisa.com/wp-content/uploa...7/wlcdonly.jpghttp://oh-meisa.com/wp-content/uploa...07/wlcddvd.jpg
CD Only & CD+DVD

I still kinda confused over the double a-side thing. They announced the single as Wired Life/UPGRADE U! and now it's only Wired Life? I'm kinda worried about UPGRADE U! and if it'll really have a PV...

Oh I don't really like the covers this time :/
The CD only is kinda OK though.

I actually like the covers. More than "One More Drama".

We'll not have a double a-side single anymore. Her label manager just replied me.

they look kinda simple, but meisa is still looking so gorgeous! her facial expression is fierce! lol. i also really love her dress. :heart i think i like the CD only cover the best. :D

but i think they're much better covers than "5-FIVE-" or "LOL!", though. :P but i do wonder if we'll get two PVs after all. i'd love to have another new PV to watch. :(

edit: just saw niiwa's post! :laugh aww, a double a-side single would have been nice! but maybe next time? :) at least "Wired Life" sounds like it'll be a strong enough song to be a single a-side. :yes
