I have a little video of Ayu walking around and looking at the art there if anyone wants it, lol.

But, no, she rejected the award - like others have said - due to the whole Avex fiasco over the summer. She felt that she brought unnecessary attention to herself and therefore that is why they chose her to win again. Besides, she's already won it three times in a row (the first and only artist to do that).
