Tung Duong was honored at the Music Awards Japan 2025

The Japan Music Awards (Music Awards Japan) was established in 2024 by the Japan Cultural and Entertainment Industry Promotion Association (CEIPA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy , Trade and Industry (METI).

The aim of the awards is to strengthen and expand the Japanese music market and reach a global audience. The awards have more than 60 categories, which are voted on by the Arts Council and the audience. The Arts Council consists of more than 5,000 experts including singers, producers, record label employees, critics, journalists, publishers and international judges.

The International Special Awards category selects influential artists from various countries. This award is given to promote musical connections between Japan and several Asian countries.

Presenting the award to Tung Duong was Mr. Shunichi Tokura - Commissioner of the Ministry of Culture of Japan. Mr. Shunichi Tokura commented: "This award is in line with one of the main goals of MAJ to bring Asian culture, art and music to the world stage. We cooperate with 6 Asian countries and MAJ further recognizes the artists who have won outstanding awards in their respective categories".

Singer Tung Duong proudly shared with his international friends: "I am very honored to be standing here, it is music that has brought us closer together at this award ceremony. Throughout my 20-year career, I have used music to share my spirit and ideology. I would like to thank MAJ for recognizing my music. I am very proud to be the first Vietnamese artist to receive a major award. Today is also a new beginning for my music career."

More surprisingly, Tung Duong chose the chorus of "A Round of Vietnam" (composed by Dong Thien Duc) to sing loudly to end his sharing, receiving long applause from the audience attending the award ceremony.

It can be seen that Divo Tung Duong's presence at this prestigious music award from Japan is not only the pride of Vietnamese music but also a great cultural bridge between the two countries.

"Having the opportunity to interact and meet famous artists from Japan and other Asian countries, I have learned firsthand the good things about the meticulous organization, the attention to detail, the uniqueness and specialness of the Japanese people. This award is a source of positive energy for me to have more material for my music, from which I will have more quality music products to serve the domestic audience," Tung Duong added.
