Good to hear about JSB NOT being nominated for the JRA - but this scandal could really tarnish the reputation of the Japan Record Awards - and I could be guessing this could really put a big cloud over Japanese pop music today...
(I imagine if a new award similar to the JRA would be created - but the voters wouldn't be the record industry, but expert music reviewers that would be unbiased from any record companies, and rules to prevent acts of bribery and to promote competition, such as limits an artist can earn the top prize...that isn't going to happen very much (if at all), but I have to imagine...)
This might be a reason why in recent years J-pop has been a bit boring on one of my views...
