wow...hopefully they win this award...i haven't listen to the songs of the other nominees...but i'm confident that "YELL" is the best song of the year .

Good luck to Ikimono Gakari!

yeah....masterjz is right..

i hope they win in this award...

As long as this competition is not based on polling result, i'm sure YELL will be granted as song of the year..

it's only them who deserve to get the award.....

Have they decided who won yet?

EDIT:

Man, Iki didn't win... =/

it doesn't matter if they win or not..its not all about the number of awards they received...its all about the number of copies they sold...which only means that its the fans and not the jury who knows which song is the best.

mmm...
but...
ikimono deserved to win...!!!!
too bad they lose against TVXQ :S
