i wish ayu can perform!!

yaay :D thanks for the info

:O this is surprising.

it's been a while since ayu has been nominated for an award, haha.

Yayyy Ayu! :heart

Ummm?!?!? ?!? Why is The Bieber kid there??? :confused Like gross, can't even get away from him overseas. -__-

Good for Ayu and Namie though.

Ooh. It's... a surprise. :O

I love it!! I hope she wins the award!

Thanks for the info!

This is very surprising, seeing as back in '04 or '05 she stopped allowing herself to be nominated for these awards. I wonder what made her decide to throw her name in there once again. Maybe she went ahead and allowed it because she's charted well in the Billboard?

Also, I'm looking at the official Billboard awards website... If I'm looking at the correct category, the list mentioned at the top of the post doesn't include every artist named. There's 56 artists named in the list I'm looking at haha.

^she is allowed herself for being nominated, but refuse to take any awards..

she is nominated for Part of Me PV on being best art video back to 2008

looking forward to the show...

Lol justin beiber haters :rolleyes I could only complain about him if I were to also complain about a couple others here that I don't think are much better :)

Anyway, congrats ayu. Hope she wins in such a grand time :heart

@ayugame: I always wondered cuz ayu still can make awesome pvs like that yet others win

(Sorry double post) I couldn't see the placement of my last as I'm on my phone

I think it was in 2004, around the launch of Inspire...? Maybe she now sees it as good promotion, or that she simply felt none of the other nominees this year are worthy winners (--> Justin Bieber..lol) xD

ARASHI! :cool

ooooooooooooooh nooooooooo

haha, I'll correct it. Google translate y'know ;)
