International: "All About TOHOSHINKI season 3" by Tohoshinki
Special Award**:
AKB48, Keion!
*Engrish award name. Obviously these are just music related DVDs, not PVs.
**I have no idea what this is. Maybe someone who cares about AKB48 or Keion and wants to dig deeper can enlighten us.
I left out a few of the less cared about awards, like best jazz album and whatnot. I'm not really sure what these awards are based on (it seems to be sales?) or why so many overlap. It seems like "The Best 5 ___" are the nominees for "The Best ___ Of the Year" but all of the winners in each category actually get an award. See Mano with her's here and some info about Arashi's record 10 awards here.
No big surprises, Arashi and Exile continue to dominate, with GReeeeN still doing pretty well. I guess Mano actually getting recognized is kind of surprising, and well deserved imo. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Re: RIAJ Golden Disc Awards
It's gotta be based on sales because otherwise The Beatles winning International Artist of the Year is thoroughly confusing.
What's the first thing you do when you return home after a concert?

Re: RIAJ Golden Disc Awards
Arashi, whoever they are, must be jerking off to this really hard.
I barely know any of all the singers/groups named, even from all the international ones I only know lady gaga and of course The Beatles.
But why are the Beatles there !? This is very weird.
[quote name='TnB' post='76223' date='Feb 24 2010, 03:27 PM']See Mano with her's here[/quote]
[quote name='from that site']You can obviously tell that she is really happy to have won the award since she looks like she is close to crying of happiness in each photo of her from the event[/quote]
She has the same smile on as always and doesn't look any different from usual.
btw, have you seen that site's poll ?

Travel back in time through the haze of memories that aren't your own
and melodies frozen in a particular place in history..
If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide

I don't think Arashi needs to jerk off to this since they pretty much know they outsell everything every day all the time forever and ever.

Yeah, I think the group would have a collective heart attack if they debuted at number 2.
Other thoughts:
It was the Arashi show feat. greeeeen, must've been boring for the audience.
I'm just as confused as the rest of you as to why certain people got awards, but LAWL backstreet boys. Oh Japan, you're so silly. Japan sure does love boy bands and schoolgirls, even if they're washed up american artists or animated hahahaha
I'm confused as to how the K-ON! girls were recognized and not the actual singers/writers/ect that were behind the music. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> Please don't say they were lazy, because that's really crazy...[tinytext] I have to meet my one bad joke per post quota, forgive me[/tinytext]

Yeah I just linked the blog for the pictures because I'm too lazy to reupload them. I think the site does a process of elimination poll though. Like each week there's three different members, and whoever wins that poll advances on to the next round or whatever. At the end they're left with just one member.

Only recently though. They definitely have a lot of #1 singles (though they're one of the few JE groups that's had a few #2 and #3 singles), but their crazy topping-the-yearly-charts sales didn't start until 2008.
But yeah, re: The Beatles, the little news snippets I've seen about these awards have mentioned sales a lot so I'm pretty sure that's what its all based on. The "New Artists" kind of confused me, since I know Mano doesn't really sell that much, but I guess they compare it to sales of other new artists?

I could easily believe that she was in the top 5 sales of artists who debuted in 2009. All but one of her singles were in the top 10 weekly charts, even if the sales dropped off after the shiny newness of the first two singles wore off. She had so many damn releases that adding up all the singles has to be at least 95,000 (plus the album sales, I guess). I think she made it just through sheer number of releases compared to other new artists.
I would've guessed that supercell would have won, but I guess Hilcrhyme had more releases.

Re: RIAJ Golden Disc Awards
Who accepted the award for GReeeeN?
Re: RIAJ Golden Disc Awards
I never understood why anyone liked Greeen. It's like 2nd derivative Dragon Ash. The first derivative being Orange Range.

There are two things I understand from high school: my love of GReeeeN and what derivatives are.
GReeeeN is surely not the acceleration graph of Orange Range. But they do have the same singers.
