NexTone Award
The NexTone Award is a Japanese music prize first awarded in 2017 by the copyright collective NexTone. The prize awards artists, songwriters and composers whose songs generated the highest revenue in royalties during a fiscal year.
Only artists represented by NexTone are eligible for an award. Similar to the JASRAC Awards the three most successful songs in royalties are awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze Prize depending on the royalties amassed. Until 2023, next to the Gold, Silver and Bronze Prize, a Special Prize was awarded. Since 2024, the most successful Japanese work overseas and the most-successful song on YouTube by views are awarded as well.[1]
