Woohoo! :clap I hope she get's the album one. HITS is a great album and should get the award it deserves.

For the Female Video I'm torn between YUI and Taylor Swift but Japan is YUI's playground so I give her a slight edge there. :cool
Edit: I just saw Taylor Swift isn't on the list here. I think a little mishap happened there. Shouldn't it be 5 nominees? Saw her on a different site listed.

I made an entry with PVs compiting in these categories.

http://www.yui-lover.com/2011/05/mtv-vmaj-nominees-in-yuis-categories-music-videos/

Funny to see how western artist all have official channels with millions of visits, while japanese artists (all Sony's) have nothing.

WHY!!! =O
Do Sony Music Japan hate the world or what??! xD

YUI, "Whatever It May Take", you have to "Stay The Course".

To answer your question, I think they don't want to go official on YouTube because they think they don't need the popularity outside Japan (or Asia). Apparently not worth the investment since not that many buyers are out there, and they keep in mind the video ripping etc.

tl;dr: SMJ = lazy/greedy bastards. :good

Kikino I think you missed out Taylor Swift's Mine for Best Female Video...

Best Female Video

Miliyah Kato - X.O.X.O.
LADY GAGA - Born This Way
RIHANNA - Only Girl(In the World)
Taylor Swift - Mine
YUI - Rain


BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR

EMINEM -『RECOVERY』(MV:Love the Way You Lie feat. RIHANNA)
Miliyah Kato - 『HEAVEN』(MV:Last Love)
LINKIN PARK - 『A THOUSAND SUNS』(MV:The Catalyst)
Kana Nishino - 『to LOVE』(MV:Best Friend)
YUI - 『HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN』(MV:GLORIA)

Anyway, I just watched all the videos and just wanted to share my thoughts and some "match predictions"!

Best Female Video

Miliyah Kato - X.O.X.O
Miliyah Kato looks really weird in X.O.X.O., and from the snippet of the song, it didn't seem all that exciting; seems like a Lady Gaga wannabe here but nowhere near that level.

Lady Gaga -Born This Way
Which means Lady Gaga's Born This Way is likely to obliterate her. From previous album charts and rankings, I can tell that Lady Gaga has a very strong presence in Japan, so I think her not being local will not be a disadvantage.

Rihanna - Only Girl
But if the awards are based on votes, Lady Gaga will probably lose some ground to Rihanna, since both are of similar genre, although the style in Only Girl is very different (I really liked Only Girl PV, found it very artistically done, but not in the extreme direction of Lady Gaga).

Taylor Swift - Mine
Unfortunately, Taylor Swift is going to do the same to YUI, and poses a big threat because of their similarity of style and genre, and as a whole, I believe Mine's PV was more well done than Rain, with much deeper backstory played out in the video, instead of just seeing a sulking YUI on a rainy day.

YUI - Rain
YUI's PVs have typically not been very artistic nor interesting for non-fans to watch, but she might stand a chance given her large fan-base.

If people in Japan like girls with guitars more than girls with bras on the outside better, then this award will be a battle between Taylor Swift and YUI. Hopefully, YUI, being local Japanese, will receive more support.

My Guess: Lady Gaga - Born This Way

Best Album of the Year
This one is big, and I was initially surprised YUI even made it here. You're going to have to consider that Best Video is split into many sub-categories (eg. Best Female Video, Best Male Video, Best Group Video etc.), but Best Album of the Year is just one award.

EMINEM - Recovery
I didn't know that EMINEM had a strong presence in Japan, but he is going to be tough to beat (even though I personally don't like his angsty style very much). He pretty much has the entire genre to himself here, but it seems that Recovery wasn't as well received as his previous #1 album "Relapse", as it only made it to #6 on Oricon this time round, the lowest peak ranking out of the 5 nominees here.

Miliyah Kato - HEAVEN
Miliyah Kato looks weird again, and her song sounds dull. I've never really heard of her much and I don't know why she's here. A quick check also reveals that HEAVEN is her first and only #1 album on Oricon, out of 5 (excluding her Best Of album, which also made it to #1). Her singles are inconsistently around #10-30, and she's never had a #1 single on Oricon before (except for one collaboration with Shimizu Shota). I'll be REALLY surprised if she wins.

Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns
LINKIN PARK's A THOUSAND SUNS is generally held by many to be mostly a flop compared to their first two albums: Hybrid Theory and Meteora, which are mostly responsible for their international fame. Strangely though, in Japan, their first and only #1 album was Minutes to Midnight, with A Thousand Suns slipping down to a commendable #2. What's interesting to note, is that LINKIN PARK is the only rock band nominee, which means that fans of rock won't be split between two choices, though I find it extremely surprising that of all the great rock bands in Japan, only Linkin Park ended up here.

Kana Nishino - To Love
I've never heard of Kana Nishino! But I just checked out a couple of her songs and she sounds pretty good! I like the way she names her songs and albums too, her debut song simply named "I" and her first album Love One, second one, which is the one featured here "To Love". She is an up and coming singer-songwriter kinda like YUI in her debut days, minus the guitar, and not as stellar. After 12 singles and 2 albums, "To Love" is her first time ever reaching the #1 position on Oricon. My only concern is that she will split the votes between her and YUI due to their similarity.

YUI - Holidays in the Sun
You might be happy to know, however, that YUI has the most number of #1 albums AND singles on the Oricon charts compared to any other nominee here. She is the only one with consistent #1 singles, and out of all 5 albums she has, only her debut album "From Me to You" didn't make the Platinum standard (CBML is triple platinum and ILY is double platinum). Also, considering that HITS is also YUI's long-awaited come-back album and she didn't disappoint, us fans should be happy to note that even in this all-star line-up, our YUI is actually a powerhouse, and is most likely to win given the trends on the charts.

However, seeing that EMINEM, LINKIN PARK and Miliyah Kato are nominees instead of other artists who are clearly much more popular in Japan, I suspect that the audience base of MTV Japan is very limited unlike MTV in other countries. It does seem that viewers of MTV Japan have a strong bias toward international pop, and despite it being in Japan, I have a feeling that the local singers will suffer from a slight disadvantage and not the other way round. We'll see :)

My Guess: YUI - Holidays in the Sun

What do you guys think? :hee

You have been busy uh? XD


I agree in almost all your points. But i really don't think Kana Nishino's album is that good. I actually enjoyed Kato Milya's more, althoug you can tell is not at lady gaga's level.
Must be a very personal impression, but Kana's album is too pop for me and i would definetly feel awkward listening to it with my brother around xD And i dont know if it's any better compared with any other pop album around (insert johnys or akb army...what happened to exile?)

I hope Sony will take action in benefit of their super hermetic strategies and put some money under the table to make one of their artists win (read YUI) xD
