From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
MTV Video Music Awards Japan
(MTV VMAJ for short) are the Japanese version of the
MTV Video Music Awards
.
Like the
MTV Video Music Awards
in the United States, in this event artists are awarded for their songs and videos through online voting from the same channel viewers. Initially Japan was part of the
MTV Asia Awards
, which included all Asian countries, but because of the musical variety existent in Japan, in May 2002 began to hold their own awards independently.
On June 25, 2011, MTV Video Music Japan changed the 2011 ceremony to MTV Video Music Aid Japan 2011 as a charity event for the
2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami
.
Since 2017 the winners have been announced by the official Instagram account
[1]
without previous nominations.
