Music Awards Japan took place in Kyoto on 21-22 May 2025, and now just a little over a month later they have released the archive of the show to YouTube for international fans to enjoy on demand (it is currently blocked for viewing in Japan). This archive includes both the Premiere Ceremony and Grand Ceremony, complete with all performances, and English subtitles.

The awards show itself was quite the event with some exciting live performances and plenty of celebrity appearances. Regardless of how you may feel about the winners, it's definitely worth a watch, and sets a good precedent for what to expect in future years of the newly established celebration of the Japanese music industry.

You can find both archives available now on the official Music Awards Japan YouTube channel.
