There were SO MANY ties , as well as categories that had NO CLEAR WINNER.
In any case, thanks everyone once again for participating in the JRock Awards this year, and let's look forward to if/when we host 2018's!
 
 

Best Cover Art: Marco - 穴二つ (Ana Futatsu)
Best Song: Marco - 夕轟 (Yutodoroki)
Best EP:
Labaiser - Chain of Tragedy (improvement in production quality, along with some stellar songs)
Marco - セイゾンノシルシ (Seizonnoshirushi) (improvement from their previous releases, with some pretty awesome tracks!! probably their best work by far)
 
Best Look: MERRY - エムオロギー (m-ologie),  Marco - セイゾンノシルシ (Seizonnoshirushi), Labaiser - Chain of Tragedy
Best Newcomer: ガンミ (Ganmi); ヤミテラ (Yamitera); Yumeleep (if they even count as "newcomers")
Best PV: MERRY - エムオロギー (m-ologie), Marco - 夕轟 (Yutodoroki)
 
Saddest Disbandment: 
ELYSION (they came off as the second coming of Megaromania, but they weren't as good and in the end, they ended up flopping anyway...very disappointed about both their musical output & their quick disbandment, but I wasn't really surprised when it was announced.)
ガンミ (Ganmi) (short-lived, but gone too soon, they had a lot of potential with their retro 2000s sound...)
MARIA’N†ROSA (technically a hiatus, but very short-lived as they also had lots of potential as a symphonic metal band)
 
Most Overhyped Band: R-shitei, Lack-co, RAZOR
Most Underhyped Band: Marco, Kalavinka, Crucifixion (although Marco was the same way in the past, the latter two bands' stuff is less accessible but I wish it would be shared somehow, and they deserve far more recognition than they have right now)
Most Anticipated Release: Marco - セイゾンノシルシ (Seizonnoshirushi), Marco - 穴二つ (Ana Futatsu)
 
Most Disappointing Release:
ELYSION - APOTHEOSIS (poor production quality, which was also prevalent in their previous singles)
SIRENE - Testament ~I'm Not Diva~ (was expecting this to be a sweet kotekei release judging from Maasa's bands, but it ended up being basic bitch garbage aside from a few tracks :/)
 
Band that Changed their Sound for the Worst: ELYSION (production quality began to deteriorate after their first single & even one of their newer songs is plagiarized)
Band that you spent most of your money on in 2017: MERRY, Marco ;w;
 
What the hell were they thinking!? Award:
ZIN (Jupiter) & his America-kei project
The guy from Rave staging his arrest to promote a single
厨二溺レ死ヌ。(chunioboresinu.)'s brief stint as "ベティ。" (betty.) for like 3 months...
 
Best Revival/Returns:
David (Sui solo project) (made up for Lin 2.0's floppage by releasing the amazing, "Requiemage")
Megaromania (reunited after 4 years, there's now rumors of a 2018 return and the fact that they were my first vk band, I hope that's true ;w; )
 
((I'm sorry this list is kinda biased and limited to only a few bands ;w; ))

Best Overall Artist/Band: Jiluka. Everything they released this year was flawless (to me).
Best Album: Acid Blood Cherry and Pantheon -Part 1- (Matenrou Opera) take the crown this year. Gotcharocka's Screamy was also really good.
Best Single/Maxi-Single/EP: Jiluka - Xenomorphic. D's Orokashii Ryuu no Yume was also great and Do As Infinity released pretty solid singles.
Best Cover Art: I never really pay attention to those, but Grimoire's cover art for Uranometria alone makes me want to buy it.
Best Song: Ajna.
Best Look: D's dragon look is what I had been waiting for since 2014. No kidding.
Best Newcomer: Kizu. They are great on CDs and live.
Best Veteran: D and Mucc.
Best PV: I literally only saw like 3... Grimoire's PV for Frabjous Natch was entretaining to watch.
Saddest Disbandment: Yusai. I had high hopes for them. Ramiel also kinda hurt, they were nice live.
Most Overhyped Band: 0.1 no Gosan. They aren't that great imo.
Most Overhyped Release: Virge's first mini. Everyone was going nuts about it and I found it dissapointing. Their singles were better. Aiolin didn't live up to the standards either.
Most Underhyped Band: Amabo needs more love, though all their releases being live limited doesn't help them AT ALL.
Most Underhyped Release: Can't think of one, really.
Most Disappointing Release: Maybe Keel's Shishi... I expected more. Aiolin's releases too.
Most Anticipated Release: Ajna. I actually looked at the PV several times, and I NEVER do that. I also ordered it with EMS cause I couldn't wait a month to get it.
Band that Changed their Sound for the Best: Definitely D
Band that Changed their Sound for the Worse: Probably NoGoD?
Band that you spent most of your money on in 2017: Jiluka and D, hands down. I don't want to count to check which one eins either because I'll get depressed.
What the hell were they thinking!? Award: That fairy-kei look D threw at us in may. I can't believe I have photos with them looking like that.
Best Revival/Returns: I don't follow such old bands, but probably the only one I'm interested in is Mary Rue, cause You <3
