Just a reminder these awards aren't based on quality of the music on the CD. (and HORIZON is by Remioromen).

It's going by the Japanese pronunciations.

LET'S SUPPORT AYU

What the date of ceremony ??? Someone know ??

I'm kinda suprised Ayaka got #1, her album feels sor tof flat to me (except midazuki). I guess it was b/c her debut album sold so well?

The list is in alphabetical order. There is no 'real' order. All that we know is that Kobukuro is #1 since if I'm not mistaken, they took the 'Album of the Year' award.

Woo! Go Ayu! I think it shows that she's not losing her popularity like alot of people think.

yeah, i agree with you cloud_rebelde and i'm a kuu fan too. and yukitora, i don't its in alphabetical order... O.O isn't obviously. and congrats to all the nominees... ayu will always be the winner in my heart XD

From before...

Oh, I see that now. I'm not used to hiragana based alphabetical order hehe. I'm guessing Ayu won't be accepting these awards, or does her self imposed ban only apply to a select few categories?

^The 'ban' only applies to the Record Taishou I believe.

Wikipedia implied she doesn't accept any awards. Guess you really can't trust wiki after all;)

Sorry, I should've made it clear that it was alphabetical order through hiragana... but for a Japanese site, I think it's obvious they are going to use the Japanese "alphabet".

Anywho, this list is kinda of crummy. There are so many better albums out there. I honestly don't think a BEST album should be #1 for a music award, but it is the RAIJ...

Well it's just based on sales. So really, it's the RIAJ's top 10 best sellers for 2006...
