I know mama isn’t the best, but im honestly really excited for it, I haven’t been this excited for mama since maybe 2020. The line up in my opinion is pretty good actually, better than last year for sure in my opinion. Rose and Bruno Mars will be making her mama debut stage, Aespa is returning to the mama stage for the first time since 2021, and G-Dragon will be performing for the first time in mama since 2015. Looking how there will be three locations I am assuming that it will be similar to mama 2018(the golden days oh my god nothing can ever top mama 2018 as a whole).
Mama USA which as im writing this starts in literally 29 minutes with the lineup being Anderson .Paak, Illit, J. Y. Park, Katseye, Riize, TWS, and Young Posse. Looking at lineup it looks like it will focus more on rookies(like mama 2018) and while they didn’t specify, I assume they will announce some awards. Rookie of the year for both female and male might be announce since the winners are in attendance, the might give out some of the favorite(attendance) awards plus the professional awards like best song writer, etc. i am not really familiar with any of the groups and I have to admit im not really that excited about mama usa but I want to see if Jyp makes a fool out of himself so I will probably tune in for that, plus I wanna see illit perform lucky girl syndrome I love that song.
Mama Japan which will take place like 7 or 8 hours after which I personally find that dumb, like couldn’t they make all days be atleast 1 day apart from each other? The lineup for mama japan day 1 will consist of BoyNextDoor, Bruno Mars, Enhypen, Ive, Izna, Lee Young-ji, ME:I, Plave, Rosé, Treasure, and Tomorrow X Together, with a special band performance from Enhypen, Txt, and Zb1. Day 2 will probably be the fan choice day as I like to call it since they will give out 20 bonsangs(since they will be 10 male and female winners this year) which will take out most of the time, the daesang, and some of the favorite awards. Now for me this is were the true fun begins, the line up is pretty stacked as we can see. Ive, I was so dissapointed they didn’t go last year since I wanted to see what they would do with I am but im happy they are back, Izna will be making their debut stage. You can never go wrong with Treasure, Txt, and Enhypen so I am thrilled to see that along with the special band performamce. Now what most people are probably the most excited for this year, Rose and Bruno mars perfoming Apt live together for the first time. Rose will be making her mama debut stage since debuting which is exciting, I know there was rumors circulating she would show up for the last two weeks but its amazing to see they were true.
Mama japan day 2 will consist of (G)-die, Aespa, Bibi, Byeon Woo-seok, G-Dragon, INI, Meovv, Seventeen, and Zerobaseone(which are the only reason im even going to be watching it live). Gidle will be performing the mega stage once again which is exciting I most day since they killed it last yeae, Aespa will be making their return to the mama stage, Zerobaseone will be performing the cinematic stage this year which I am literally so Excited for it like I know I am biased as hell but I know it will be one of the best performances of this year mama. Seventeen will be performing this year once again which I am happy atleast pne of the mama staples will be in attendance, plus gdragon will be performing for the first time in mama since 2015. Now this is when the best categories will be given plus the three big daesangs which I might add thank god the winners will be in attendance because last year only one of the 4 winners were in attendance. Another solid day, im sorry but I literally cant wait for zb1’s performance I am excited.
Now while I am excited that doesn’t mean I am happy with everything. I don’t like how mama usa and mama japan day 2 are literally only 7 hours apart from each other, I felt like it was a better idea to make them a day apart and mama japan day 1 on a saturday. Plus the mama top 10 this year, I don’t really like how they divided it but I guess they did since pretty much boy groups always took up the entire top 10, Twice was the only female artist to win last year. Also some of the snubs but im not going to talk about thay. Now I know the line up is not as good as the others of course, I most admit I miss seeing Twice, Bts, and mamamoo since they were the mama staples but atleast its not that bad.
