YuyoDrift 1540 Posted December 12, 2019 You guys better not think we forgot about this! ✨ Coming back for the 3rd year in a row, MH will once more be hosting the MH JRock Awards for 2019! ✨ Now, before you start voting, read the rules provided in the spoiler below, otherwise Yuyo is gonna be mopey about it. Spoiler 1. You can only vote for Japanese Rock artists. However, we use the term "JRock" very loosely and won't reject your vote if you happen to vote for a band that is borderline JPOP or any other related genre. 2. You may provide up to THREE nominees per category. 3. Only releases/events of 2019 (obviously). 4. Since all votes will be made public after the contest, you can explain your choices, but you don't have to. If you do, please make things easier for the staff by following this format: Spoiler Good Example: Best Overall Artist: Sug (Because they are super-kawaiiii) Bad Example: Best Overall Artist: I want to vote for Sug, because they are super-kawaiiii Once you have read the general rules, here's how to vote: 1. Copy the list of categories below into your reply 2. Fill in your votes (you can skip as many categories as you'd like) 3. Submit. Try to keep your votes organized under spoiler tags in order to save space for other voters. Your posts will stay hidden until the end of the voting. Here are your categories to choose from: Spoiler Best Overall Artist/Band Best Album Best Single/Maxi-Single/EP Best Cover Art Best Look Best Newcomer Best Veteran Best PV Saddest Disbandment Most Overhyped Band Most Overhyped Release Most Underhyped Band Most Anticipated Release Band that Changed their Sound for the Best Band that Changed their Sound for the Worse Band that you spent most of your money on in 2019 What the hell were they thinking!? Award Best Revival/Returns Voting will last until Monday, January 13th of the New Year (2020) This will allow everyone to take their time, since some of us are still waiting on some final releases to come out this month. Note: "Album" includes both full and mini-albums. For simplicity reasons, we follow the "Once Visual Kei, always Visual Kei" rule. So yes, that makes bands like Dir en grey or L'Arc~En~Ciel a Visual Kei band, just for the purpose of this voting. If you missed/skipped 2018 or are just joining the forum and have never heard of this, then take part this year! If you have any questions about the 2019 MH Jrock Awards, feel free to contact me or any of the MH Staff! Happy Voting! 5 Kiryu999, Joel, nick and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
