British-Japanese pop star Rina Sawayama says she was "heartbroken" to find she is ineligible for The Brit Awards and The Mercury Prize. The singer has lived in the UK for 25 years, after her family moved from Japan, and considers herself British. Although she had indefinite leave to remain, she does not hold a British passport, ruling her out of the country's biggest music prizes. The singer told Vice she found it "othering" to be denied entry. "It was so heartbreaking," Sawayama said. "I rarely get upset to the level where I cry. And I cried." "All I remember is living here," she continued. "I've just lived here all my life. I went to summer school in Japan, and that's literally it. But I feel like I've contributed to the UK in a way that I think is worthy of being celebrated, or at least being eligible to be celebrated." "I've lived here 25 years," she added on Twitter, "but I am not British enough to even be eligible for the 2 biggest UK music awards". The hashtag #SawayamaIsBritish trended in the UK shortly after her interview with Vice was published. Under competition rules, solo artists must have a British or Irish passport to enter the Mercury Prize. For bands, only 30% of the members need to be officially British or Irish, as long as more than half of them live in the UK. The system meant that, in 2005, New York-based singer Antony and the Johnsons (who now performs under the name Anohni) was able to win the award, despite having been resident in New York for 22 years, as they held a British passport. Sawayama, however, has retained her Japanese passport in order to feel close to family members, including her father, who live in her country of birth. Japan does not allow dual citizenship. Border control around eligibility' "If arts awards are creating their own sort of version of border control around their eligibility, I think that's really problematic," she said. "If I was snubbed, I would be like, 'Well, OK, fine… Let's just make a better record and move on'." "But the fact that I wasn't even eligible is like… I don't even know what that emotion was. It was othering." Fellow London recording artist MNEK tweeted his support saying the star's self-titled debut album is "deserving of all the accolades". Sawayama has previously benefitted from funding from the BPI Music Export Growth Scheme, a grant that supports and celebrates British musicians, and her album is littered with references about growing up in London. The record, which skilfully blends millennial pop and R&B with elements of nu-metal, is one of the best-reviewed new releases of the year, with an average score of 89% on the review aggregation site Metacritic. Many publications, including the BBC and the Guardian, noted it had been overlooked when the Mercury nominations came out last week. Pop acts and women lead Mercury Prize nominations A spokesperson for the BPI, which organises UK music's two biggest awards nights, confirmed to the BBC: "Both The Brit Awards and the Hyundai Mercury Prize aim to be as inclusive as possible within their parameters, and their processes and eligibility criteria are constantly reviewed." Other music awards take a more relaxed view, and non-British citizens can be eligible for a Ivor Novello award, if they can prove they have lived in the UK for the past year. Sawayama concluded that "it's up to the award bodies to decide what Britishness really encompasses - the very things that they celebrate, which is diversity and opportunity." ポップスターの沢山里奈がイギリスの音楽大賞に応募するには「イギリス人ではない」。 イギリスと日本のポップスター、沢山里奈は、ブリットアワードとマーキュリー賞の資格がないことを知り、心が痛むと語った。 彼女の家族は日本から引っ越して以来、歌手は25年間イギリスに住んでいて、彼女自身をイギリス人と考えています。 彼女は無期限で残ることができましたが、イギリスのパスポートを所持しておらず、国の最大の音楽賞を獲得できませんでした。 歌手はバイスに彼女がそれが「拒否された」ことを拒否されたと認めたと語った。 「とても悲惨なことでした」と沢山は言いました。 「私はめったに泣くレベルに動揺しません。そして私は泣きました。」 「私が覚えているのはここに住んでいるだけだ」と彼女は続けた。 「私は生涯ここに住んでいました。日本のサマースクールに行きました、それは文字通りそれです。しかし、私は祝われる価値があると思う方法で、または少なくとも英国に貢献したような気がします。祝われる資格がある。」 「私はここに25年住んでいます」と彼女はTwitterで付け加えました、「しかし私はイギリスで2つの最大の英国音楽賞を受賞する資格さえも持っていません」。
