A taste of K-pop festival fun is coming to Umeda ahead of the awards show. HEP FIVE, the fashion building in Umeda, Osaka, will hold “2026 MAMA FAN FESTA × HEP FIVE” from Monday, November 9 to Saturday, November 21, 2026, to mark the MAMA AWARDS. Seven activities are planned, from in-building decorations to a stamp rally and the Ferris wheel.
On the HEP FIVE Ferris wheel: artist decorations and music
The highlight is “2026 MAMA AWARDS ARTISTS @Ferris Wheel”, set on the HEP FIVE Ferris wheel. The wheel is decorated with artists from the awards show, and you can listen to songs by performing artists. The music plays on your own smartphone and earphones (no earphone rental; an internet connection is required). Riding costs 1,000 yen per person (free for ages 5 and under). You cannot choose which artist’s decoration you get, and rides may be unavailable because of inspections or bad weather.
Whose decoration you get is a surprise, a bit like a capsule-toy draw.
In-building decor and a stamp rally
Decorations for MAMA FAN FESTA and the MAMA AWARDS appear at the entrance and around the building. Just walking around looking for your favorite artist could be fun.
The other main attraction is the digital stamp rally “Spoiler Quest”, which hides hints — spoilers, in effect — about the MAMA AWARDS stages. Collect digital stamps at rally points inside HEP FIVE. A dedicated app is required, and the rally covers designated areas across Osaka, including HEP FIVE. Riders of the Ferris wheel also get a special digital stamp at “TAMLO” on the 7th-floor food floor. The booth is open 11:00–23:00.
Welcome booth, photo spot and eco-bag decorating
A “WELCOME STATION” photo booth for MAMA FAN FESTA appears in the 1st-floor entrance atrium. A booth for collecting perks for buyers of the FESTA SUPER PASS / FESTA PASS (purchased in advance) is also set up. Other visitors can get the special digital stamp too if they meet the conditions. It is open 11:00–21:00.
On the 7th floor there is a photo spot, and from Monday, November 16 to Saturday, November 21, anyone can join an eco-bag decorating activity. Draw on a bag with pens and make your own keychain with colorful beads. You can use your own eco-bag. Participation may not be possible when it is crowded.
Receipts for a clear file; goods in an Instagram giveaway
Bring a receipt for a purchase or meal at any HEP FIVE shop dated Monday, November 9 to Sunday, November 15 to the 1st-floor entrance atrium on Saturday, November 14 or Sunday, November 15, and the first 200 people each day get an original clear file (not for sale). Any amount qualifies, while supplies last.
You can also follow the HEP FIVE Instagram account (@hep_five) and like the campaign post for a chance to win official MAMA goods (5 winners). Entries run from 11:00 on Monday, November 9 to 23:59 on Saturday, November 21.
