They should've put the western songs into a category like 'best western songs' maybe

I mean
it's MTV Japan, it's not even the same as MTV asia awards

and ayu really made her promise though
never get into any nominees lol

she should have Marionette as best female video
talkin' 2 myself / decision as best rock video
and Together When... as best pop video lol

true , it defeats the whole purpose of calling it the MTV Video Music Awards Japan for nothing .

they shouldn't put ang mo & local japanese acts together in the same category

my prediction :

Best Male Video
NE-YO - Because of You

Best Female Video
Mika Nakashima - LIFE

Best Group Video
Mr.Children - Irodori

Best New Artist Video
ERIKA - FREE

Best Video of the Year
EXILE - I Believe (Ver Video)

Best Rock Video
L'Arc~en~Ciel - SEVENTH HEAVEN

Best Pop Video
Ai Otsuka - PEACH

Best R&B Video
Namie Amuro - Hide & Seek

Best Hip Hop Video

Best Dance Video
Shinichi Osawa - Our Song (A Lonely Girl Ver.)

Best Collaboration Video

Another year of crap nominations. wtf MTV?

^Oh, c'mon! This year is the best they have had in along time. You're from the states...YOU SHOULD LIKE MOST OF THE THAT WERE CHOSEN THIS YEAR!

Don't tell me your one of those "Ayu-only/asian music-only" fans? :grumpy

(lol I'm not mad. I know it's your opinion.)

Who casts the nominations? I'm rather unfamiliar with the MTV VMA.

a bunch of hill billy's :P

I think the network people casts the nominations based on what videos were a popular hit on the network.

why there isnt ayu :(:(:(

i thought she doesn't want to get nominated & accept the same awards the same time over & over again in a bid way to give other artistes a chance to win instead of her .

Didn't she made some sorta announcement 4 years back or something ?
