The Bowling Proprietors' Association of Japan held its 15th Bowling Mass Media Awards on Wednesday. For the second year in a row, idol Ami Tokito was given the grand prize for her Tsunku TV appearances. Tsunku himself was also awarded a special prize this year.

Another special prize was given to Miyazaki governor Hideo Higashikokubaru for a segment during Fuji TV's "FNS 27 Hour Television" last year. Sayaka Aoki received an individual award for the same show.
