Why isn't Japan nominated for MTV Asia Award?
 

I have notice that artost from Korea, China, Thai, Malaysia and more are part for MTV Asia Award. Why isn't Japan one of them?

i dont know why too but i think bcuz Japan wants to have their own MTV Award :shrug I wish Japan was though cuz Ayu would surely be there every year~!

MTV Japan is seperate from MTV Asia. They just do their own thing.

Oh, i see. It's weird because Namie Amuro is performing this year...

And Ayu won and perform once too.

Probably because the Japanese artists would conquer it... :rolleyes

There are some other good artists that aren't Japanese.

MTV Japan has it's own awards, so that means MTV Asia can focus on the rest of the continent.

Sometimes they have them, sometimes they don't. Matters ditty.

Well, Japan has VMAJ... that's how independent Japan is... and also that's why I'm also upset with MAA not including Japan on the awards show.. they'll just have to add one more category "Favorite Artist Japan".... :(

True enough Japan has its own VMAJ, but then they have awards like best buzz asia from taiwan, korea... Why MAA doesnt have one for Japan?

I believe because in some parts of Asia, people tned to prefer Chinese & Korean music....

yeah japan was too independent and really HUGE music industry...so MTV separate it...but since japan still a part of asia so sometimes they invite japanese artist

sometimes??
you mean rarely :lol:

Doesn't matter really, if the awards are flooded with American/Western entries every year. Even though these are supposed to be ASIAN awards.

*nods*

Agree with ya. Japan's music industry in second biggest in the world I heard. They are independent enough to have their own MUSIC AWARDS.

My old thread! LOL.

i believe they have pride in their music... coz even here in the PH we have our own MTV awards... but i think it was only for a year, not quite sure (im not into MTV anymore).. but we are still included in the MAA, coz i think the PH still has to prove that we have a great/good music industry... but yeah, this wont happen anytime soon... PH songs are either Covers from the US or just plain crappy. wehehehe.

Japan's Music Industry is really ALIVE and yeah i agree with tinyppl that japan takes good care of their music industry.

Wow, I didn't realize Japan's music industry was that big o_O

Yes, you're right,
I think they should put a little info from mtv japan awards,, although it seems impossible

LOL you're talking about MTV Pilipinas, right? :P
I just wish Japan would be included on the next MAA's... *sigh*
