Criteria
[edit | edit source]Winner criteria
[edit | edit source]The awards are determined based on sales of CDs, music videos, paid music distribution, etc., over a year. The grand prize is "Artist of the Year," awarded to the artist with the highest total net sales during the period.[27] From the 20th edition, video sales were included in the "Artist of the Year" award from the 22nd edition, and digital music sales were included.[28]
Eligible period
[edit | edit source]The eligible period was one year from January 21 of the previous year, from the 1st edition (1987) to the 13th edition (1999), but was extended by 11 days for the 14th edition (2000). Also, from the 15th edition (2001) to the 17th edition (2003), it was one year from February 1 of the previous year. Still, the 18th edition was changed to January 1 to December 31 of the previous year. Therefore, the winning works from the 17th award were not eligible for the 18th award, even if they were released during the eligible period (works released between January 1 and January 31, 2003, which overlapped the period of the 17th and 18th awards). The one-year eligible period was shortened to 10 months for the 25th edition (2011). For the 26th edition (2012) and 27th edition (2013), it was changed to one year (12 months) from November 1 of the year before. However, the 28th edition (2014) changed the period to 14 months. From the 29th edition (2015), the period was changed again to one year from January 1 of the previous year.[29]

Broadcast
[edit | edit source]The first event was not broadcast on television. The first broadcast live was in 1990 (4th edition) on Nippon Television's "Saturday Super Special".
The following year, in 1991, it began to be broadcast live on NHK General TV, and the year after that, in 1992, it was broadcast publicly at the NHK Hall. Later, it was also broadcast on Satellite TV 2 (BS2). BS2 began broadcasting live, and the broadcast on General TV was a re-edited recording. Also, from 2003, the broadcast on BS2 was changed to a live broadcast recording on the same day. Until then, NHK News 7 had replaced Satellite TV 1 (BS1) and was broadcast.
The 20th anniversary of the NHK's founding, the NHK Hall, was held in 2006, on Thursday, March 9, from 7:00 PM, and was broadcast live on Satellite Channel 2 (7:30 PM - 9:30 PM). A recording was also broadcast on General TV. Still, the original broadcast on Friday, March 17 was postponed to Thursday, March 23 ( 12:15 AM - 1:25 AM, March 24) due to the decision to broadcast a recording of the National Diet session (164th Diet, House of Representatives General Affairs Committee, FY2006 NHK Business Budget Deliberations) (11:00 PM - 4:00 AM, March 18), which has the highest legal priority.
In 2006 (the 21st edition), 2007 (the 22nd edition), 2009 (the 24th edition), and 2010 (the 25th edition), the award press conferences were held at hotels in Tokyo. There were no public audiences, live performances by artists, or television coverage. The press conferences were broadcast as news footage on the variety shows of various stations the following day.
The 2008 (23rd edition) event was held at Tokyo International Forum Hall C on March 2, 2009. It was broadcast live by Tokyo FM and on March 10 by Wowow.
The 2011 (26th edition) event was held at Nicofarre on January 27, 2012, and a digest of the event was broadcast on BS Sky PerfecTV! from 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM on March 2.
Press conferences have been abolished since 2012 (the 27th edition). Instead, the organizers have edited the winners' comments and broadcast them as videos. These have also not been held since 2014 (the 29th edition).
