(if you are not familiar with Japan Record Awards, it was the BIG award show that AKB48 won the the top prize "Music of Excellence" with Flying Get last year (see the Kin Sma SP)! )

wait that's a wrong translation. the event that is in the article is the 45th Wired Japan Grand Prix (or 45th Cable Radio Awards to some translators). the Japan Record Awards that you mentioned last year is the 53rd JRA, so this year it should be the 54th JRA and will be shown in the future on December 2012.

anyway Wasamin already won two awards from Wired Japan tonight: Best New Comer and Longest Request Award for Mujin Eki

here is the video where she sang Mujin Eki after receiving the medals (worn on her neck)

Ah, I can't wait for the results this year! I think she has a good chance of winning, since. Omedetou Wasamin!
What does is mean about the "long request award"?

hi. it refers to the large amount of replay requests over radio stations in Japan. Mujin Eki is a consistent, highly-requested enka song.

rich? they have a lot of real estate assets alright. but even with such valuations, what matters more to having real estate assets is income from them through rent or outright property selling. otherwise it's all numbers and UFG will not be earning much from these. fixed assets require income generation and liquidity to generate money. (that's why real estate are liabilities in nature as you tend to spend money on them even after purchasing it - lights, water, repair, real estate tax, etc)

and as was earlier said, UFA is separate from UFG (they're sister organizations and not one). so not sure how does the financial statement relates to UFA.

Haruna Kojima (AKB48/sub unit No Sleeves) for MM

She could have replaced Tsuji and continue the tradition of bakajo...

yes yes, a perfect fit

It's nice to see former Morning Musume auditioners continuing their paths

Do you know about other former auditioners?

Minami Minegishi (AKB48/sub unit No Sleeves) and Noro Kayo (SDN48) for H!P kids (or Eggs i think)

Ayaka Umeda (AKB48/sub unit DiVA) and Haruna Kojima (AKB48/sub unit No Sleeves) for MM
