[Family Album Mitene] Survey for the "Family Song Special Award" Chosen by Domestic "Mitene" Users for "MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026" Starts Today!

MIXI, Inc. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Koki Kimura) announced that its child photo and video sharing app "Family Album Mitene" (hereinafter "Mitene") will start accepting survey responses from today, Thursday, April 2, 2026. The survey is for the newly established "Family Song Special Award: Best Song Chosen by Families 2025 powered by Family Album Mitene" within "MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026," one of the largest international music awards in Japan organized by the Culture and Entertainment Industry Promotion Association.

"Family Song Special Award" to determine the song of family memories "Mitene" sponsors "MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026" as a prize partner and has newly established the "Family Song Special Award: Best Song Chosen by Families 2025 powered by Family Album Mitene" within the co-creation category.

For this award, we will conduct a survey targeting domestic "Mitene" users under the theme of "one song chosen by the family," and based on the results, we will proceed with the selection of the winning work. We ask you to answer the best song chosen as a piece that colors your family's memories, such as "a song you listened to and hummed many times with your child," "a song you heard on a family outing or trip," or "a song that was always by your family's side in casual everyday life."

[Thoughts on establishing the new award] Under the mission of "creating the mental infrastructure for families around the world," "Mitene" has nurtured family connections through the sharing of memories. And this time, we will expand that domain to music, going beyond the framework of sharing within the app. Music is a presence that creates natural conversations and smiles, nurturing the invisible connections of a family. The newly established Family Song Special Award "Best Song Chosen by Families 2025 powered by Family Album Mitene" was created as an award to highlight the one song that "Mitene" users choose along with their family memories. Through this award, "Mitene" will expand the cycle where music nurtures family communication, strengthening the emotional connection of families.
