Best member of the year. The member who pushed NMB to be better as a whole this year. Whether that's bringing attention to the group, attracting new audiences to the group, keeping the group from falling apart, helping delay NMB's inevitable spiral into irrelevancy, and so on. Who's the member you think that lived up to the name and legacy of Yamamoto Sayaka?

The member who may not have been on your radar previously, but suddenly jumped up in your rankings; your fake new oshi. If you became a fan of the group recently, this could also be the member that caught your attention and made you become interested in the group.

The member who either didn’t live up to your expectations, or you believe kinda dropped the ball in regards to their position or role in the group this year. This is NOT "the worst member award" or an opportunity to express your hate towards a member. Constructive criticism of a member is allowed, dumping on a member is not.

The best NMB song that was released in the year of our lord 2020.

What was the best NMB song (or other group's song that was performed by NMB this year) that did not release in 2020? The spirit of this award is to celebrate a classic or simply talk about an older song that you randomly stumbled across on YouTube or Spotify. Or perhaps you saw the group perform it at a concert or live performance this year. Anything goes!
