 This award is not only recognized and familiar to many people, but also has the characteristic that "the number of times karaoke fans visit the store and sing is the key to determining the best work," so it is believed that the support was a great force. This trend was evident in the Enka and Kayo Song categories, and there were some works whose rankings fluctuated significantly from the singing rankings (unpublished) at the time of selection of entries or the rankings at the time of interim announcements. In addition, in the J-Pop category, the best work "Lilac" showed overwhelming strength, and continued to dominate the first place from the beginning of the entry.
  Unlike the sales trends of music software and music distribution, we consider that we were able to present the uniqueness of this award in the music market as one of the indicators for enjoying singing rather than enjoying the work.

The MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2025, an award sponsored by the Culture and Entertainment Industry Promotion Association, has a total of 62 categories, including a wide variety of categories, in addition to the main categories such as "Best Music Award" and "Best Artist Award."
XING and DAIICHIKOSHO jointly presented the Karaoke Special Award "Karaoke of the Year powered by DAM & JOYSOUND" in the "Co-Creation Category," selecting the best works in both the J-Pop and Enka & Kayokyoku categories. Through this award, XING and DAIICHIKOSHO hope to continue sharing the joy of karaoke with many people.

■How the Best Work Will Be Determined

During the aggregation period from March 13 ~ May 12, 2025, the most sung song by "DAM" and "JOYSOUND" from among the entries (30 songs each in the J-Pop category and the Enka/Kayo Song category) was selected as the best work in each category.
