Default Space Shower Music Awards 2016

Shiina Ringo has been nominated for an award in the "Best Female Artist" category at the upcoming Space Shower Music Awards, to be held on February 28th, 2016 at 6 PM JST.

Link - Tokyo Music Odyssey 2016

Ringo is also listed separately as a guest, but not as a "live act" - I assume this means she will have some role on stage, maybe as a presenter, but will not actually be performing.

Looking through the nominations... These awards are quite lame tbh.

Who chose these? Did Namie even release something last year? The fuck.

Yeah, I'm not getting it either. Even Ringo didn't release much last year. Maybe someone whose Japanese is better than mine can clarify.

I mean, DREAMS COME TRUE is nominated and all they released was a BEST OF.

Fuck this award show. What a joke. Even the Grammy's seem more legit.

The only one worth a slight damn really is the breakthrough artist category.... Cause you know they've had to work to get there. The rest all seem like the generic choices for anything. I mean, KPP for BEST POP artist? I thought she was truly irrelevant by this point- I don't remember reading a lick of praise for any of her most recent releases last year...

Also in what world is ONE OK ROCK remotely "punk/loud rock"....

Gah. My brain died.

So after reading further, it looks like the "Space Shower Music Awards" is a new thing this year. (I had previously been thinking that they really were talking about the "Space Shower Music Video Awards," but apparently this is different.) If I am reading correctly, the award is supposed to be something like a lifetime achievement award, for an artist's significant contributions to a particular genre. I'm still not quite sure I get the logic here, especially given some of the nominees (and some glaringly obvious omissions). But, if that's what it is, I can certainly get behind Ringo being nominated for it.

Also, "Loud Rock"? Isn't it all supposed to be loud?

She got Best Female Artist.

She didn't look happy about it.

It has been noted she wore a black kimono to the event, suggesting she is perhaps in mourning...

Damn, you're not lying. Very strange way to accept an award. Hope she's okay.

This award more than bothers me a little.

Like it's been discussed elsewhere, it feels kinda like a slap in the face to Ringo that after years of masterwork level material, she gets an award for a fucking Coke jingle.

It's pretty terrible if you ask me.

But I could be overthinking it.

These are the first Space Shower Music Awards, I wouldn't read too far into that.
