Many wondered what songs IZ*ONE will perform at MAMA JAPAN 2018 at Saitama Super Arena and whether or not the group will split off as members of IZ*ONE are expected to be performing at the FNS special in Odaiba for the special AKB48/Nogizaka46/Keyakizaka46/IZ*ONE idol collaboration.

And the answer was that IZ*ONE gave us multiple performances which even international fans were shocked to see! First let’s begin with the red carpet, IZ*ONE appeared with suits and ties:
The first was a special stage of IZ*ONE performing Girls’ Generation “The Boys”:
Then we saw Honda Hitomi and Choi Yena collaborate with TWICE’s Momo & Mina and members of Got7 and MONSTA X:
and a collaboration between MAMAMOO’s Moon Byul and IZ*ONE’s Kim Chaewon:
And then IZ*ONE performed. Which songs will they perform aside from the expected “La Vie en Rose”?
Sure enough, they gave us numerous songs and a wonderful intro and even “Chaekura”!
and a group performance of “Rumor”:
We are not sure if IZ*ONE is going to split up as six of them have to head to Odaiba from Super Saitama Stadium for the FNS Special, which is not exactly close! But we’ll find out!
UPDATE: The six members of IZ*ONE performed at FNS and the collaboration with AKB48, Nogizaka46 and Keyakizaka46 turned out very well!

The collaboration was more than likely recorded in advance as all members were present at the end of of MAMA.
