There is a marked difference in this revival of MTV Japan when contrasted to the old MTV Japan. The older MTV Japan focused on overseas artists, whereas the current MTV Japan focuses on domestic artists. As a result, the channel has drawn criticism from proponents of the older MTV Japan. However, in March 2006 the network drew 6,000,000 viewers, making the channel second to Space Shower TV and an overall financial success.

In August 2006, MTV Japan was made a complete subsidiary of MTV Networks and again made a complete subsidiary of Viacom International Media Networks on December 1, 2014. In 2011, Cartoonito block was launched on MTV instead of Boomerang, the channel changed the logo. This was to consolidate its activities with other [[Viacom (2005–2019)|Viacom]] subsidiaries in Japan, such as Nickelodeon Japan and the FLUX Digital Content Service.
