Japan Record Taishou 4th year???

Wikipedia has confused me

Ayumi has also won the golden prize on the Japan Record Taishou (the most important award in Japanese music) three times in a row, in 2001, 2002 and 2003. She would also win it in 2004, but she rejected the award saying she doesn't want her song INSPIRE to win an award.

She could've won 4 years in a row? But didn't? I don't think that's true, if it's the most imoprtant award in japanese music, she wouldn't do that. Didn't Utada win instead for Dareka?

Why did you put Gold disk award in the topic title and talk about Japan record award? Oo
Gold Disk Award + Japan Record Award are 2 different awards

The title is just my confusion, that's all, lol...

But, I don't get it, INSPIRE won? I remember reading about her not wanting to win any more awards or something around that...

Yeah. Gold Disc and The Japan Record Taishou are 2 completely different awards. The Record Taishou are the biggest I believe. And I don't think it was supposed to be INSPIRE that was supposed to win, butit was supposed to be for 'Moments'.

I read something about this a while ago and here's what I remember, they offered it to Hirai Ken for 'Hitomi wo Tojite' but he rejected, Ayu with 'Moments' and she rejected (I don't know who they offered it to first) and then in the end, Mr. Children won it with 'Sign'.

As I heard Ayu didnīt want to attend and recive the award because 2004 was the year with the rumors that Max Matsuura leaving avex and so on...
Ayu said she donīt want to win the award only because the attention was on the rumors, she wantet to win because of her singing...so she rejected.
And as I know if you do that you can never win again.

Wasn't it because of Max becoming the new president of avex instead? Rumours had it that they would give ayu the award as a gift for max.
And ayu's afraid that if she won people might gossip that it's because of max's 'succession' as the president of avex.

Aww, poor ayumi...although I think Moments was the last song that even was decent...that and STEP you/Is this Love? or Heaven on missunderstood that could even achieve that greatness...still...aww...she should've accepted...so so could've had 4 years in a row, but wait...isn't it supposed to be a surprise? instead of telling them beforehand? I don't get it...

I also read in a some Japanese article that they were thinking of awarding Ayu's song HEAVEN, but it never happened.

Yeah I heard about that too. It's sort of an unwritten rule that makes you get blacklisted from winning any awards.

Kind of like when Ami Suzuki was blacklisted when her parents sued her company & no one would give her a contract anymore (until Max Matsuura picked her up)

So Ayu would've won five years in a row! Wouldn't that be an accomplishment?

All I know is, don't ever trust wikipedia by the word. However, it's an interesting rumor.

That's true. Maybe Hirai Ken, Ayu and Mr. Children were nominated for the award, but the both Ken and Ayu rejected the nomination and Mr. Children won by default. (Although I think 'Sign' was better than both 'Moments' and 'Hitomi wo Tojite')

I heard that it was because Inspire was for the fans and she didn't want to win any awards for it.

I still find it hard to believe that out of all her 2004 songs, 'INSPIRE' was the one that got nominated. But then again, 'Butterfly' won last year (which I thought Kumi had better songs than 'Butterfly' like 'hands' and 'Promise')

I know. hands was awesome. Butterfly was just another generic pop song.
What made up for INSPIRE's nomination was HEAVEN, but I'm not sure if she declined or they withdrew her nomination because of the "rules."
