36th JASRAC Awards
This year’s JASRAC Awards…
The work "KOI" written and composed by GEN HOSHINO has received this year’s Gold Award. The work became a hit as the theme song for a TV drama starring GEN HOSHINO, and the "Koi Dance" choreography which was danced in the ending scene attracted public attention. It was used in a wide variety of ways including interactive transmission and karaoke.
The Silver Award work "DRAGON QUEST OVERTURE" was continuously used in commercial advertisements for the popular game software "Dragon Quest", after receiving the Bronze Award last year.
The Bronze Award work "UFO", which was released in vinyl record format in 1977, was used in commercial advertisements for mobile phones. The work is receiving the JASRAC Award, which was established in 1982, for the first time.
"DRAGON BALL Z BACKGROUND MUSIC (TV)", included in the popular animated series, has received the International Award for the third time since 2015.
The work "DAYDREAM BELIEVER" has received the Foreign Work Award for the second consecutive year.

- What is JASRAC Awards?
- JASRAC annually presents the JASRAC Awards to the copyright holders whose musical works represent a large share of the royalty distribution. The JASRAC Awards are bestowed based on the amount of royalties earned during a one-year period from April to March. The names of the recipients are as shown in the table above. The Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards are presented for the three domestic works that earned the three largest totals, while the Foreign Work Award is conferred on the foreign musical work that earned the largest total royalties, and the International Award goes to the work that earned the largest amount of royalties from foreign copyright societies.
