DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 They're pretty pointless awards now, given that new artists don't really get much attention. In a country that cares less and less about new music, why honor acts simply because they are new? "Best Breakthrough Act" would be a better award to give out. It shows that a newer act has actually came into prominence as opposed to just being new. Like who of the Best New Artist nominees at this year's awards shows are actually notable to the public? Japan Record Award's Best New Artist nominees lol Kobushi Factory Hanaoka Natsumi http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/Natsumi-Hanaoka---Natsu-no-Tsumi/73008d4669489f5708c3ad783c7be4a5 Yasuda Rei http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/Rei-Yasuda---Ashitairo-%2528Short-ver%2529/45f6afc333dd0f843006da31a13b59f9 Japan Yusen Taisho's Best New Artists Hanaoka Natsumi http://www.jpopsuki.tv/video/Natsumi-Hanaoka---Natsu-no-Tsumi/73008d4669489f5708c3ad783c7be4a5 LoVendoЯ It would be better to see newer acts that are breaking through to the mainstream being awarded as opposed to new acts that are only really here because of label / management pushes with little / no actual success being awarded.

Delincious 5,654 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Maybe to actually bring light to a new artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 Maybe to actually bring light to a new artist But what is the criteria? Talent? Sales? All it looks like is pushing of unknowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palechibi 2,748 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 i do like the idea of doing best breakthrough act instead but maybe just do both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariya 1,780 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 best new artists should get attention. but how many new artists get highlight? Breakthrough is better. how about both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante. 7,795 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 should be ~best new breakout artist~ i guess. but most award shows are more about politics between networks and companies and the like so it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeYaWithYou 4,415 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I feel like an act like Lovendor shouldn't even be nominated. Their lead singer has been in the industry for over 10 years. Like yeah I get technically the band is a new act, but it's not the same thing as a complete newbie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocumentaLy 6,033 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 best new artists should get attention. but how many new artists get highlight? Breakthrough is better. how about both? Even the random new acts that are promoted on a show like HEY! HEY! NEO! (a show for new acts) aren't really new. They've been around, they're just not mainstream.

Coffeeeee 911 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 oh, I thought the best new acts category are for the Best Breakthrough Act. If that's not what it's meant then yeah it should be like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been around, they're just not mainstream. in my country too it's still vague. like some soloist got breakthrough from his first single that kind viral but actually he isn't a new . he's a finalist from popular talent singing show from years ago. but for the shake of image that info never been mentioned. and if did recall back he ever release something under the show. but now promote as indie it's been mediaplay like he suddenly come nowhere and big hit. but he got nomination for best new artist in some award.

Obelisk 425 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Maybe new acts shouldn't debut at all? One of the things that I believed, that Japanese music industry is big enough even to keep the minor acts. I actually think that those acts has potential into becoming something. I don't what about you, but minor acts is the main things that keeps me hyped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlightshimmers 201 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 They should call it "Best New Not Flops" and the criteria is that they have to be a new act and not flopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amit 24 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I guess so. I have no idea who any of those in the OP are except lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kami Nana 1,341 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Breakthrough artist don't always equal new artists. Some can be out for a few years before they get a hit(and thus become a breakthrough). These wouldn't be new artists. Both should be kept...as for the criteria...I don't know. What do western award shows consider for their Best New Artist nominees? EDIT: Come to think of it, how is this any different from movie award's category Best New Actor/Actress?
