Interesting results.

[Number Girl 48]

Nice . . . hate seeing MUCC up there, but it is true in my opinion.

Surprised Gackt got anything, I thought people hated him on here. . .

[Miasma 162]

Interesting results.

Indeed. The best PV? Lc5, Gackt?

I was so expecting 9GBO to win "Best full album" anyway.

[Guest]

No Paradeis? Juding y'all.

[Erin 19]

WTF LC5?! they suck! and best pv... I voted for 7th rose anyway, so lol

[toshii9245 0]

Best Newcomer:

1. Lc5

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. this one is so...... Dramatic, I may say.

[LIDL 692]

i voted for LC5, y'all~!

but then again, i always fair

cookies?

btw, i missed out on BFMV

[SUBLIMINAL 52]

People actually listened to and enjoyed Lc5?

What?

[LIDL 692]

lol maybe just endearing to see that guy from an cafe wearing black xD

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

I'm quite happy with these results I'm glad Nicki got some recognition in the best non-Japanese albums release and I'm glad to see how many times Versailles one.

[anieresus 270]

Most of the awards I agreed on except, on newcomer, best full album and most anticipated release. I can't bitch and whine though 'cause I forgot to vote LMAO

BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT WINNER

1. 2NE1 - To Anyone

[ficsci 50]

What the Hell were they thinking!?-award:

1. Ayabie/AYABIE - For the whole disband/name change confusion

Aww, congrats XD

[Aki雨 0]

Saddest disbandment:

1. Kagrra, (2009: Sugar)

I'm still sad about this :\

I'm really going to miss them

[Kaleidoscope 195]

Interesting results indeed oo Yay for D'espairsRay as the best overall artist, great to see that they don't get that much hate anymore after MONSTERS. Tanatos also deserved the number one spot, great album.

[Prism 8]

Nice to see 9GBO winning a couple.

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

Intresting yes. It's stupid to bitch about the results but i'm going to do it anyway because i need to get it out of my system.

LC5? LOL!

Best non-japanese release? Lolooloolol only winner that isn't a joke is Pain of Salvation ( granted i have not heard the Kanye West album yet, supposed to be good )

KYOKUTOU GIRL FRIEND should have been higher :/ I didn't remember to vote so i have no right to complain.

[Prism 8]

^ Oh I completely skimmed past the non-Japanese part. People here actually voted for Pain Of Salvation? Awesome. Though the title is wrong. The rest there are indeed a joke though, jayzus.

[SUBLIMINAL 52]

Agreed. I wish I had voted now so Pain of Salvation might've got first place, but I couldn't think of anything for the rest of the categories. Whoops!

I am pleased D'espairsRay got best live though.

[Mr Bacon 106]

My only votes that got in were Katte ni Shyagare, girugamesh(sound worse) and PoS - Road Salt 1 for non-jap release.

Also in the other thread, Doe and I had a lot of similar ones(amazarashi lol).

[doaseternity6 93]

I voted but had no real stake in the results so I'm neither upset or happy with them they're mostly as expected anyway with the exception of Lc5 wining newcomer...that one I really didn't expect from here.

EDIT:

Also in the other thread, Doe and I had a lot of similar ones(amazarashi lol).

Yea I saw lol I'm glad I wasn't the only one at least. ;D

[tosinn 3]

Nice to see 9GBO winning a couple.

This.

And wtf @ best newcomer. People have issues. I'm also glad that Heaven won "Best ballad", it definitely was the best one this year (and maybe the last as well).

[Champ213 1858]

Yup, people who didn't vote really can't complain. XD Remember that due to the great variety of choices, the margins are extremly close, very often one vote only. Lc5 got 4 votes, the other newcomers 3 votes. Live with it, people.
