Receiving their first Japan Record Awards nomination (Best Song) and making an appearance at the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen at the end of 2008, the momentum didn't let up with the big hit album "The Secret Code" becoming their first to receive "platinum" status in March 2009 by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
In July of the same year, they successfully had a performance at the Tokyo Dome, a goal set since their debut.

Thanks for the review, appreciate it!
I thought of "Japan Record Awards" as a proper noun, but I see where you're going (like an Oscar nomination as opposed to Oscars nomination).
Same goes for the singing contest. Wasn't sure whether to translate it or not.

Actually, when I looked it up in the dictionary, it said Award without the "s", so I changed it accordingly. Same goes for the singing contest, that's the way it's written in the dictionary, so I just used the official translation. :) It's best to translate names if they have an English translation, because no one will understand it otherwise. ^^

Keep up your efforts!

You're right, I took a look at the official Japanese site and there is no "s". I should have checked that before, instead of relying on Wikipedia ^^; (in fact, the Wiki page has the title without the "s", but most of the references to the name in the content and pages for previous years include the "s".
Interestingly, for the singing contest, there are some English pages by NHK that refer to it as the "Red and White Year-end Song Festival".

Anyway, thanks again!
