Billboard Japan Music Awards are an annual set of music awards, founded by Billboard Japan, the Japanese edition of the music magazine Billboard.[1]
The awards honor artists, both Japanese and foreign, who had achieved best results in Billboard Japan charts during the year. Different awards are based on different formulas, combining both chart data and votes from the public.[2] The main award, Artist of the Year, is determined solely by popular vote.[3]
The awards are given at an annual awards show featuring performances by celebrated artists. The first awards ceremony was held in 2010.
