AV Open Awards
Taken from JAV News


For a very long time, the JAV industry didn’t have any notable awards for quality adult videos, something equivalent to the AVN Awards in the United States.

To remedy this situation a bit, Tokyo Sports (one of the tabloids paper company in Japan) and SOD (Soft on Demand) together started hosting a large scale contest for best adult videos for each year (Still nothing even close the AVN Awards though). Sixteen AV production companies participated in this contest, and each company selects a candicate video for the company and the sales of that video is counted for a certain period of time. The production company who had the most-sold candidate video in that period wins the first place and gets ¥10000000 (= $91,194). The second place is $5000000 (= $45,602) and the third $300000 (= $27,361).

Well, things didn’t go that smooth.

The second contest, which was held in May 2007, turned out to involve a scandal by one of its hosts — SOD. SOD won the first place by a large margin in this contest, but, it turned out that a large fraction of the sales of the title made in the contest peroid were bought by SOD themselves. This violated the contest rule, and titels after the second place for the contest were moved up.

Real Winners for the 2nd AV Open Awards

1st Place:
Lots of Popular S1 Girls / Hyper Girigiri Mosaic Special Bath Tsubaki


2nd Place: Misa Kikouden / Celebrity Debut


3rd Place:Nayuka Mine, Ichika, Chihiro Hara, Erina Kurosawa / Dream School 11

Fake 1st:

Because of this scandal, the next contest probably won’t be held and the official site is already shut down. Also, Hokuto — the rival of SOD — started a similar contest called AV GrandPrix Awards, and there are 77 production companies participating, so this will likely to replace the AV Open Awards.

AV Grandprix Awards

AV Grandprix started 2008, so it’s brand-new. So far only one contest was held in 2008.

The only one I like is AVOP-069 but it's not because of the actress(es), but simply because of the fun fan appreciation theme.

...I'll just wait calmly for the 2009 one, lets see if they gloss over the Dogma's masterpiece...
