Group Big Bang attend VMAJ 2009 for the first time, and they were there as guest celebrities.

They also introduced the performing stage of Katy Perry, and greeted and spoke to their Japanese fans in Japanese.

This will be one of the largest overseas award ceremonies that the group has participated since their debut. They are currently working on advancing into the Japanese major music market.

Singer BoA performed the title song ‘I Did It For Love’ off her American debut album with her album producer Sean Garrett for ‘2009 Video Music Awards Japan (VMAJ 2009)’ on 30th May.

The music awards was held in Saimata Super Arena. A photo of the 2 of them were posted earlier on ‘VMAJ 2009′ homepage with ‘A world class performance to be opened’ attached with it today. Their performance was introduced as ‘BoA and Sean Garrett’s dream performance” on the show.

Popular group Dong Bang Shin Ki had a miss at ‘Best Group Video’ for the awards this time.

Their MV for ‘MIROTIC’ was nominated for the award category but the award eventually went to Exile with the MV ‘Ti amo’.

Other videos nominated for the award is group Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Ulysses’ and The Killers‘ ‘Human’. .

‘MIROTIC’ went up to the Oricon daily chart when it was released as the group’s 24th single last October in Japan. And the song had received much love from music fans.

It is a shame that the group did not win the award, but they are currently having their 4 concert tour in Japan ‘2009 – The Secret Code’ and was not able to attend the awards ceremony.
