LOL! debuts at #8 today!

Sweet! I hope it'll leak soon, I didn't receive my copy yet :/

I guess the Kit Kat promo is helping her a significant deal , much more than what her previous singles had (I don't recall 5-FIVE- having any promo) :O

I want to hear Be Like That soon

Loving the new single~
You guys can download it at Oh! Meisa. :3

#8 is fantastic!! go meisa! :yatta

edit: Be Like That is AMAZING! :blove i think it's much better than LOL! :laugh but meisa still hasn't disappointed me, as usual!

omg those Tom & Jerry slippers are so cute xD

The new single is awesome!
Didn't really like the preview of Be Like That but the full song is great <3
I hope she we'll do well on the weekly :/

Be Like That >>>> LOL ! for me

it's a pity that Be Like That is slotted as a B-side instead of being the main A-side ~_~

I think LOL ! will fare much better than 5-FIVE- because of the Kit Kat tie in she has with LOL !

She's at #10 today!

looks like the single's selling pretty steadily. :D

sorry to double post, but...

finally a full album! :weep

Amazing news!
I'm glad the live is included in the DVD :)

AWESOME.

Is her first live supposed to be a full concert? I wonder if they'll be able to fit her PVs onto the DVD?

Meisa's got pretty great b-sides so far: "Wasted", "So Smooth", and now "Be Like That". Even if it would be a little bit of a letdown, it would also be a bigger pity if they're not on the album.

I do hope they'll leave the mini album songs alone and save them for a future best album, though. Otherwise what's the point of releasing them as mini albums? If they treat them like singles, they should've just been released as singles. :P

Hellooooooo~! Hot stuff!

A new album :D! Her first full album! I'm excited.

I hope that it's as good as hellcat though. I wasn't fond of ATTITUDE :(.

woo a full album in Jan ?

about time xD

*praying hard for a Taiwan press again since it happened for hellcat & ATTITUDE

Those pics of her looked great , wish I was there ;__;

i found some news footage of the concert:

I want a kit-kat now.

sweet! i was wondering when she would release her first full album. i can't wait. :)

LOL ! is at #9 today

the tour & Kit Kat promo are so helping her a great deal <3

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/6398/92869656.jpg

it's amazing how meisa can still work an outfit like the first picture in the spoiler, lol.

I found some pictures of alternate covers for LOL! that were given out at her first live on Y!AJ:

They're nice but I think I still like the originals more. :yes

those alternate covers of LOL ! are way better than the actual ones used imo

especially for CD + DVD I feel

the single's down to #15 today but I think it's safe to say for the moment that it's her best performed single since it was in the top 10 for the 1st 3 days

The alternate ones are sooo much better! And nice to see that the single charted pretty high.

omg the alternates are :blove!

ooh. orange. :D

where is my copy >o<

The alternate covers are better, meisa looks beautiful

Why do you dislike the real cover that much? I think Meisa has a beautiful angel smile in the red cover of LOL :tipsy

Wow I'm super late to the party but LOL! is soooo awesome! I think it's my favorite song by her :luv2! I just barely downloaded the single and listened to it lol xD!

LOL

the pics used of Kuroki for both LOL ! covers are nice , it's just the font turns me off quite heavily to a certain extent :no

some updates

1) Kuroki's 1st Kansai event

http://community.livejournal.com/mei...oki/48026.html

2) more pics from her 1st live solo gig

http://community.livejournal.com/mei...oki/48133.html

LOL ! ranked at #12 overall with 5,541 copies sold :)

oh wow this's surprising

Kuroki is currently in Spain at the moment O_O

http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/292309.html

I was surprised when my friend Nat tweeted this earlier on . Cos I thought isn't she touring currently ? :O

5,541 copies? Ouch. >:

but it's higher sales (or ranking?) than 5-FIVE- right? :shrug

either way, i'm satisfied, lol. it could have done worse!

Good sales and peak, not bad at all
and she is learning flamenco ?
wow

LOL ! is now her highest ranking single . 5-FIVE-'s peak position was #23

I really wonder why she's doing in Spain currently , you can imagine the shock I had when my friend Nat translated her blog entry yesterday lol

wow, so it really did do better than 5-FIVE-! ranking wise, i guess lol. i'm still proud of meisa! :P

yay!! that 1 copy is the one I bought on my last day in Tokyo xD

I'm so glad I bought it :)

#12, not bad. Let's hope for some more good promotion for whatever she's releasing next and only hope for the best <3

LOL! scans (CD only)

Meisa is in Spain right now learning Flamenco and filming a program for NHK about that. I told a friend she was in his city and he just got me an autograph! I'm sooooo happy! And he told me that Meisa will leave Spain tomorrow.

Can't wait to see the program! *____*

Oh, I lOVE the alternates a lot too :luv2

Seriously I can't understand how low she sells, to me she is more talented than Namie Amuro :/

lol... I love you, srsly. It's mte.

LOL! is doing great in recochoku!!
http://recochoku.jp/recochoku_ranking/index.html
and it's the 3rd week since its release on the digital charts :)

↑ Haters gonna hate!

I wouldn't go that far, but I do really love her. Glad to hear LOL!'s doing well on recochoku.

Meisa is my ultimate bias but I have to agree with you. In music terms she need to improve a bit more. But overall, she's more talented to Namie Amuro (she can act, sing, dance, write, etc).

It strikes me as odd when someone with the name 'vision factory' would say that. Like c'mon, their artists are known for being cream of the crop performers. Kuroki's not that talented of a vocalist and her concert from what we can see is nothing to write home about. I like her but who cares about her acting when we're talking about her music? To be fair, she's no Meryl Streep. Not saying Namie was in the 90s but hey, she acted too. Namie was more talented at 14 with the singing and dancing than Meisa is now. Meisa's a hard-working girl though so I think that will take her far.

2011 calendar cover & preview:


and according to the MeisaSpain website, the new album is rumored to be titled "WARNING". :D it sounds like a hot title if it's true!

I'm not trusting on it. It's too early for a title...

Ihope is true, WARNING sounds cool

The calendar looks so pretty! Though something about her hair is bothering me...it looks weird to me lol

And ah so slow.....I didn't know that Kuroki Meisa wasn't her real name :thud It's only her stage name lol

I doubt it. mochA, one of the people on Meisa's production team, already has a mini album called WARNING.

She probably wouldn't want to steal someone else's thunder - especially someone from her own team.

I just found out about Meisa yesterday. She's gorgeous and I'm liking what I've heard from her so far.

Aw, WARNING totally sounds like a title she'd use.

are you calling me hater? I didn't get it :P

No, Tsubasa! XD I'm just saying that her haters will hate to see her being sucessful with her latest single, got it? :3

got it bb! :3 sorry x'D

I'm glad LOL! is doing well digitally, I haven't listened to the whole single yet!

I didn't know you were on AHS (I'm hautecoutue on last.fm!)

seems like Kuroki has a Blackberry now

http://community.livejournal.com/ran...gs/317449.html

ah this's too cute <3

http://6109.jp/images/meisa/moblog/2.../nab0jjeHk.jpg

:love

I agree with this comment a 100 %, nice way to put it btw!
Judging from a third party, my friend, reckons namie is a better dancer, singer and is the most beautiful woman she's seen in this music industry.
Perhaps meisa is better in acting since i know she's been well received in a lot of films and drama, And no doubt she is beautiful person but too bad i am namie bias.

aww that's adorable! :heart i love her nail too, lol.

my friend Nat subbed this clip of Kuroki when she was on HEYx3 way back in May to promote 5-FIVE-

http://community.livejournal.com/shofufansubs/2416.html

it looks really funny from the screencaps she posted xD

Download it before she locked everything up :)

meisa was named as one of the VOGUE Nippon Women of 2010:

↑ Goddess, Meisus Christ~ ♥

some updates

1) Kuroki on the Dec cover of 25ans

http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/298...kuroki25an.jpg

:love she's so pretty ;__;

2) New UNIQLO CM

^ I like the pictures, I am suprised over and over again every time I see a new shoot of her. How can she be so pretty? haha.
I was just trying to understand something of the CM... is she saying, "Tokyo's winters are cold" and that she was freezing before but because of "HEATTECH" she isn't anymore? :laugh can anyone who speaks Japanese tell me?:laugh

meisa's a GODDESS. thank you for those pics, karen! :heart

According to multi-lemonia, the album will be released on January 26 and it's titled MAGAZINE.
There will be 3 editions (2 CD+DVD editions and 1 CD only).
http://multi-lemonia.com/bbs/zboard.php?id=kuroki_meisa

wow MAGAZINE xD

so I guess the album cover & CD sleeve pics will have magazine inspired shots ? that will be something

ah how come 2 CD + DVD's ? D:

^ maybe the first one will have her ATTITUDE live and the other will have the PVs? :shrug

yeah I suppose so , if not it doesn't make sense to release 2 CD + DVD's for a debut album :O

I think it depends which edition of MAGAZINE I want to get & also which edition Sony BMG Taiwan will make too D: since they did that for ATTITUDE in CD + DVD format :O

So I'll buy the live version since I have all the CD+DVD <3 (assuming that it'll be this way)
Love the title! I can't wait <3

omg if they decide to put songs from the other 2 mini-albums I'm gonna be soo pissed :grumpy

MAGAZINE? That's...not a pretty title, ngl. I hope she includes 5-FIVE- and SHOCK -Unmei- on it. I really hope she doesn't include tracks from her mini-albums though :/ Don't want her to be like ICONIQ now.

If there is a live edition and a PV edition, I'm sure the PV one will sell out faster because it will appeal more to casuals.

And I hope that Sony doesn't add exclusive bonus tracks to the CD Only edition. That'll just complicate deciding which version to buy. :P

I may buy the PV Version cuz i don't own her singles ;__;

^ lol yeah i agree

fierce title. it fits meisa in a way because she's like...the queen of gorgeous magazine scans! :laugh so excited for this full album!!

I don't know what to think, really. Someone asked Meisa in her twitter about the bonus content of her album and she said (from what I've understood) that the DVD version would have both pvs and concert. I'm confused... I really want an CD+2DVD version since from the beginning just like Koda Kumi did in her latest best album edition.
I'm cheering for this notice to be fake.

I Can't Wait !!!!!!
I hope she can add all her a-sides of her singles (LOL!, 5 -FIVE- and Shock !!!!!)

The multi-lemonia site has catalog numbers listed for all three editions:

Type A CD+DVD SRCL-7522/3
Type B CD+DVD SRCL-7524/5
CD Only SRCL-7526

So there is a good possibility that there will be three editions, but who knows what will be on them? Maybe the only difference between the two CD+DVDs is going to be the packaging? Like, if the album is called MAGAZINE, maybe each edition will have a different concept?

Type A could be like "Cosmopolitan"
Type B could be like "Maxim"
CD Only could be like "Rolling Stone"

That'd be awesome, wouldn't it? :D

Another thing I noticed is that the album is priced at 4200JPY for the CD+DVD editions. That's kinda high considering the price for CD+DVD albums from other Sony artists is around 3500-3750JPY. I wonder what the extra 700JPY is for? :P

Yeah, it would! And I have no idea about the price. It's too high... :(
