Well, Koda Kumi is definitely going to win the Gold Disc Grand Prize (Artist of the Year). They award it to the artist with the most sales of the year

Unless we enter some weird parallel universe where her upcoming releases don't sell well. As far as I can tell, only KAT-TUN is next to her with regards to sales numbers.
The Record Taisho is awarded for artistic merit. I doubt KAT-TUN will even be nominated. They have never nominated a Johnny's Jimusho group. I'm with Ayumiko here, I don't think any of Koda Kumi's singles so far is deserving of this award. Maybe
I'll Be There, but that song is part of a 4 A-side (they prefer to award singles whose titles correspond to the first track).
