So I guess the industry hates Ai Kayano or something? Her performance of "Oracion" as Shiro from No Game no Life was easily the best seiyuu song of the year.

Congrats to all the hard working seiyuu in the industry!

Best Actress
Sayaka Kanda (Fantic)

She has like no anime roles...did she win purely because of her role in the Frozen dub?

way to go for Daisuke Ono

Wish Hayami Saori got an award for the most breathtaking performance. I mean that Hatoko rant...

Anyways, happy for Daisuke Ono, Miyuki Sawashiro and HanaKana <3

That's a shame, Aoi Yuuki didnt win any awards this year. She did such a marvelous job as Yuuki from SAO, for example...

Well anyways, gratz for the winners :)

I second this. At least she already won it before.

Might we know for which roles have the actors received these rewards?

I hope you find this post informative. And to anyone else curious enough.

Just like last year, I have included the roles which they were recognized for. The source I used was the recording of the ceremony itself.

Uta no Prince has gold albums and a baseline 50K minimum for singles?

the BDs/DVDs as well as seiyuu event DVDs get as much, from what i've read.

no clue about CDs since i didnt follow it when it was airing.

I tracked down most of UtaPri's CD sales from Oricon Youtaiju... but the concert discs were a pain to find. The links to my posts if interested in doing comparisons between the two franchises:

UtaPri sales: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=768143
Love Live! sales: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1156141#msg30226161

Love Live! wins out in terms of concert disc sales at the current time, but the gap is only around 8k discs... so it's actually not that much between the two.

I'd also like to point out that μ's ranked 13th (with 2.1831 billion yen, up from 0.69 billion yen in 2013) in the Artist Total Sales Top 100 for 2014, which includes CD sales, music BD/DVD only. Comparing the total sales of μ's to the female Idol groups... naturally the mainstream AKB48, NMB48, Nogizaka46, and Momoiro Clover, ended up beating them. Unfortunately it is not easy for UtaPri to make the list, since artists vary a lot for most of their CD releases.

I must have watched the wrong concerts then. Cause those I've seen are all lip synced.

I must have watched the wrong concerts because the one I've seen they didn't lip sync

Watched some of the stuff I've seen, And you people are correct. No lip syncing. My bad. Kudos to the girls, doesn't change my opinion on the quality of the songs though.

No, Miyano Mamoru? :(
His voice is magnificent!

I agree! Let's see though... his 2014 male roles: Nobunaga the Fool, Free! (arguable), Nobunaga Concerto...That's pretty much it. I guess none of the shows were popular enough help him win.

No, Miyano Mamoru? :(

Oh well, at least Ono Daisuke & Konishi Katsuyuki made it. :)
