34th JASRAC Awards

This year’s JASRAC Awards…

The work "R.Y.U.S.E.I." has received this year’s Gold Award. It scored a hit on music software (CD, DVD) and pay online music service, and also became widely used in Karaoke. In addition, “The Running Man” choreography which SANDAIME J Soul Brothers from EXILE TRIBE have been dancing, attracted public attention and became such a hit.

The Silver Award work "KOISURU FORTUNE COOKIE" was used in wide variety of ways such as commercials, after receiving the Gold Award in 2015.

The Bronze Award work "ITO" became a standard number for wedding songs used in wedding receptions and also Karaoke.

Kikuchi Shunsuke, the composer of "KITERETSU DAIHYAKKA BACKGROUND MUSIC," has received the International Award, after receiving the same Award of the work "DRAGON BALL Z BACKGROUND MUSIC (TV)" last year.
The work "LET IT GO from the DISNEY film 'FROZEN'" has received the Foreign Work Award just as last year.
