MIXI Partners with MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026

The company MIXI, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has announced its participation as a prize partner for the upcoming MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026. This prestigious international music award, organized by the Cultural and Entertainment Industry Promotion Association (CEIPA), stands out as Japan's largest music honor. In a significant addition, MIXI will be introducing the Family Song Special Award: Best Song of 2025 chosen by Families as part of the general voting and co-creation categories.

MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN is spearheaded by five prominent organizations within the Japanese music industry, including the Recording Industry Association of Japan and the Japan Music Publishers Association, among others. The inaugural event will take place in Kyoto in May 2025, with the awards ceremony scheduled for June 13, 2026, in Tokyo.

Under the company’s mission to "expand rich communication and envelop the world in delightful surprises", MIXI aims to enhance the way people communicate with friends and family. They recognize the profound ability of music to create joyful memories and foster deep connections among families, hence their sponsorship of the awards and the establishment of the Family Song Special Award.

The award will focus on the theme of “A Song of Family Memories.” An essential part of the selection process will involve surveying users of MIXI's photo and video sharing app Family Album: Mitene. This survey will identify the music that best resonates with the theme, allowing the app's community to partake in the excitement directly. The initiative is dedicated to strengthening family bonds through music and enhancing communication within families.

Participants of the survey for the Family Song Special Award will receive detailed information regarding engagement methods and timelines shortly.

MIXI continues its commitment to creating opportunities for heartfelt connections through various entertainment mediums. They believe in the importance of shared emotions and memorable experiences to enrich family interactions and enhance communal relationships.
