The NexTone Award is a Japanese music awards established in 2017 by the copyright collective NexTone. The awards are given to 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 Medals depending on the royalties amassed. Until 2023, next to the Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals, a Special Award was given. Since 2024, the most successful Japanese work overseas and the most-successful song on YouTube by views are awarded as well.[1]
