Bring back "Monochrome Heaven J-Rock Awards 2017"

[Mamo 1172]

Just like the title says this is an attempt to bring back the m-h jrock awards for the year 2017 which last took place way back in 2012 and apparently ended do to lack of participation. Awards were given for best album, single, new band, etc. And all of this was decided by user votes.

 

So I asked about reviving this and here's what @Zeussaid, 

Judging by all of the yearly best album/single reviews I would hope there's still some interest in something like this. So if you want to see the "Monochrome heaven J-Rock Awards 2017" then help me get this topic 50 likes and/or 50 comments by the end of the month.

[Himeaimichu 1535]

Only if D:[ab]-e wins something.

Otherwise, it actually has meaning as an award, and who likes meaningful awards? 

 

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

I would also like it to come back, it was fun.

nya no need, the bands we know who are popular will be end up in the list anyway. there won't be big surprises anyway. 

Maybe it could turn in that some random people with different taste of music would like to share their favorite list at the end of the year? 

[Ada Suilen 652]

It is a nice thing to do! I'm in!

[Tokage 5930]

fuck the "Monochrome Heaven J-Rock Award's", lets bring back  the"Monochrome McChicken  Monday's" baby..........

[Mamo 1172]

Keep the likes coming if you want this to happen!

[Mamo 1172]

If anyone still wants to see this brought back please give this topic likes. Only 2 more days and we need 33 more.

[Mamo 1172]

Last day!!!! Like this topic today if you want to see this brought back.

[platy 3018]

I don't think we have enough active members to reach 50 likes lol. 

 

Most people just lurk and download. From what I've observed from other topics, there's at most 30~ish users who actively  participate in the community . 

Either way I vote yes

Yeah I've been more active lately and I've noticed that too. The place only blows up when a long awaited release is uploaded. lol For the most part anyway. 

 

Can you let @Zeus know? And maybe he'll do this anyway with 23 likes. lol  I hope so I really wanted this again for years now. I personally think it's a good way to help bring in new members and also preserve a little history of J-rock and I also think it would flow well with the staff reviews and monthly recommended tracks.

 

lol But what do I know?   

 

Anyway @platysince you're a mod will you relay everything I just said to the staff as a final plea? Especially @Zeus 

[Mamo 1172]

We got half @Zeus

[zaa_zaa 208]

Sure

[Ozileras10 371]

Yess please make it happen

Don't forget to like the original post.

Even if this doesn't become an official thing you could still do a poll. Don't know how many people would vote though. I know last year there were some releases I really liked that weren't on the official list.
