Actress-singer Meisa Kuroki, 24, who in February announced her sudden marriage to former KAT-TUN singer Jin Akanishi, 28, is appearing in a TV commercial campaign for cosmetic maker Kanebo's Kate brand, which is her last work engagement before taking leave to give birth to her first baby in October.
Since announcing her marriage and pregnancy, Kuroki has dropped out of public view, with the exception of a recitation of “Miyazaki Kenji ga tsutaerukoto” (Message from Kenji Miyazaki) at the Setagaya Public Theater in Tokyo in May to support victims of last year's March 11 disaster.
The new ads are for Kanebo Kate's fall 2012 spider line collection which goes on sale Aug 1. Kuroki represents the image of a woman who is cool and sharp, according to Kanebo.

I was not entertained by this news.
wtfjapan
way overrated this girl is, many Meisa lovers on JT all I can say is youve never really seen truly beautiful women until you traveled through Russia & Europe, compared to this Meisa is just an adolescent girl.

Meisa is cool, and she isn't ovverrated..I wish, hell some people still don't know who she is when I mention some of her songs and movies she's been in. Took her awhile to get to where she is. Wish her well!!

If she is earning a living, then she is not overrated. Just because you don't personally see why she is able to make a living doesn't mean the rest of the world agrees with you.
This article appeared in the "Entertainment" section. The section exists to report news regarding people in the entertainment industry. The section does not exist to entertain you.
Just because the news does not interest you does not make it "non-news". (Yet I notice you read it anyway.)
wtfjapan
Fadamor my point is there are many very talented & very beautiful women in this world that never earn the money or fame as Meisa for example, Ive met women that make meisa look very average indeed, and if you have traveled as much as I have you would see theres many more interesting sights than just your own back yard. I actually find Japanese women very attractive, but Meisa really doest have the assets to compete with her foreign counterparts.

Good point Fadamor!! Maybe the hot weather is making them all jealous and grouchy.
wtfjapan
@JA grouchy possibly? jealous HAHA nothing about Meisa would make me jealous of her, maybe the only thing is that she can afford a full time nanny to do the baby sitting when she decides to go back to work, other than that shes got nothing better that I havent already seen. LOL
