News From Japan // Fridays five!

For some days ago there were news from MTV Japan that they've announced the nominees for annual ''MTV Video Music Awards Japan'' -awards.  (You darlings can see the list of nominees below.)
In case you sweeties would like to vote your favorite you can cast your vote in the official site here.

What's more: This year this annual event isn't just the same regular awards. There will be a lot of artists performing live, like for example Lady Gaga, BENI, Nishino Kana, Tokio Hotel, SHINee, EXILE, w-inds...etc and as far as I've understood the profits they get will go to the charity. Meaning more closely: to the Japanese Red Cross Society for disaster relief. The event will be held in Chiba on June 25 at the Makuhari Messe and it will be hosted by AKB48!

Is There Any Way I Could Help Even Though I Can't Be a Part in This Awards or Don't Live Near Japan?
Definitely. Even though you may live very far far away from Japan, like our Feo and I do,  you can still show your compassion and help. In the official site of MTV Video Music Japan (link below) you can for instance ''leave a message of hope for people who were impacted from natural disasters'' or ''donate towards relief efforts''

MTV.uk: ''In addition to the usual award-show traditions, the program is expected to feature news about the artists and youths who have been impacted by the country's natural disasters.''

Brilliant! I think this truly is a great way to spread important information worldwide. Let's wish Good Luck to all the nominees and All the Best to Japan ;) Take Care!
