Mandilinn 7,814 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 well, i see akb has gotten robbed. Of what? They weren't entitled to that award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceHism 536 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Eh, true but it's not like AKB's not doing the same thing ??? KFC and flying get basically destroyed all the charts. Of what? They weren't entitled to that award. KFC is the most popular song in japan this year. Why wouldn't they get it is a better question. physical, digital, and karaoke charts, all great results. When you have masaharu Fukuyama praise it too, i think that's the nail in the coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cute that you think this is based on what sold the most.

Ryusenkai 2,373 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 ^This. Anyway, congrats to EXILE. I'll hold my own opinions about this, but what happens happens. Oh, and congrats once again to Yuzu for taking home Album of the Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not working. Nobody said anything about popularity of the acts. You said that because KFC was the biggest song of the year, that it was sure to win. And as I pointed out in the link to the previous winners, this is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You told me to look at the previous winners. I did look. I checked the years which i am familiar with. And i don't see how the most popular song (not just in sales but also other types of exposures) out of all the nominees did not win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeYaWithYou 4,415 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I don't typically defend people, but yeah Ice was obviously calling it the most popular song and praising it's sales in two different statements. ??? KFC is the most popular song in japan this year. Why wouldn't they get it is a better question. physical, digital, and karaoke charts, all great results. When you have masaharu Fukuyama praise it too, i think that's the nail in the coffin. And I agree with him, I do think KFC should have one, nothing against Exile and it's gimmicks (AKB has just as much of those), but KFC had much more of a cultural influence. It was like a dance craze and I think it's overall cultural influence was apparent when you have an ambassador dancing to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
