MTV JAPAN VMAS 2006
 

kaiser chiefs for winnar

i think its so annoying that most of the artists aren't even FROM japan. i dunno...it just irks me. :shrug

Thanks Akurei! Not to sound mean, but I think that American artists should not be up for the Japanese VMAs!!! If someone like Madonna beat out Koda Kumi or Namie Amuro I would be PISSED!

YAY AYU! FAIRYLAND! she should win after goin to Hawaii and spendin all that money!

Maybe because Western music is popular in Japan too. That why they are nominated.

Most of the artists nominated have been fairly well going in the oricon, so it's not totally off. But compared to the per centage of sales, they're over-represented.

"POP STAR" for best male video please...:P (I can't believe it's competiting against..."Candy Shop" :rolleyes)

Hoping Koda will win. I have a strong feeling she will! :D

hmm seems like lots of hiphop inspired nominees ... i wonder what everyone will do when japanese music goes heavy into hiphop instead of pop

Bah.

I dislike the fact that there are so many American artists up there for nomination. I know that they are popular and all.. but seriously. I'm just glad to see that some of my favorite artists are AT LEAST up there.

Only 1 nomination for Ayu?! Oh well hope she wins that category.
Hope that Koda and Namie win too :D

When will the award show be aired in Japan? I hope Koda Kumi wins Best Female & BuzzAsia, Ketsume (ketsumeishi??) wins Best Video, Ayu wins Best Pop Video and GLAY X Exile wins Best Collabo Video. Anyone knows who will be the guest performer for this year award show? I watched VMAJapan last year, not too entertaining, hope this year will be much better.

i agree

im here with you...come on..its the VMAS for Japan..not america and japan
I will be very upset if anyone beats Kumi..but i mean if its Madonna..im gonna complain O_O

Doesn't look as bad as last year's nominees, thanks for the info!

Wow, both Ketsumeishi and Mr. Children for album of the year... Both great albums, I couldn't choose between the two.

I'd also like to know when the show will be aired.

Butterfly <---> WoWa...I like both so much^^

I'm surprised Ayu didn't have more nominations. Some of her work this year definitely deserved them.

I'm hoping the Americans don't win at all. After all, this is the JAPAN VMAs, and Japanese identity is supposedly still very strong. Would be quite a travesty if American music dominates every other awards show there is, because music is certainly more diverse than that.

hope japanese artist win all of category
there is no best rock video...!

In Japan's VMA's is always full of american's nominations and they often win -.- Japanese are nominated but if u look the most nominated artistes are americans -.-

Go Ayu and Ku! And ayaka and Yuna! :)

Thanks for the info. I hope ayu and KUU win. Kumi must be really excited about her first nomination.

I'm amazed gasolina got as far as japan, it truly was a worldwide phenomenom :)

I think it's annoying that a lot of the nominees aren't from Japan too!

Some of these are really good though. Whoo! Hope Ayu wins! XD And good job to Koda Kumi.

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!:yes

i think there's no hesitation to say that koda kumi will bring all of the trophies from the nominations this year....she's just booming so fast

hahahhaha.....remember in 2004 when ayu came and brought home 3 awards !!!!!!

I think that KK will win best buzzasia japan

I just say Remioromen XD Crystal kay has got quite some nominations too...

if Madonna wins for best video, i will have total loss of interest in any future VMA .. that video is just HORRIBLE for me .. i like the song but the video was really disturbing for me

Preformers:
Koda Kumi
A.I
Def Tech
Se7en
レミオロメン
Hoobastank

L'Arc~ for the win ^^

I'm surprised it got nominated

yeah, thats the problem with awards like these.. even in our country, they include americans... weird....
