Younger Brother Group Achieves Remarkable Five-Win Sweep at Japan's Largest International Music Awards

M!LK, a five-member dance and vocal group managed by Stardust Promotion, the same agency as MCZ and regarded as their junior counterpart, achieved the remarkable feat of winning five awards at the MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2026 (MAJ2026), held last weekend.

MAJ is one of Japan's largest international music award ceremonies, built around the concept of "Connecting with the World and Illuminating the Future of Music." Distinguishing itself from the less transparent music awards of the past, the winners are determined through a rigorous voting process conducted by approximately 5,000 music industry professionals to ensure fairness. The awards also place a strong emphasis on a global perspective.

The awards won by M!LK are as follows:

• - Best Boy Idol Culture Artist (Group/Solo)
• - Best Boy Idol Culture Song (Group/Solo) - "Suki Sugite Metsu!"
• - Best Viral Song - "Suki Sugite Metsu!"
• - Karaoke Special Award: Karaoke of the Year - J-Pop - "Suki Sugite Metsu!"
• - Family Song Special Award: Best Song Chosen by Families 2025 - "Suki Sugite Metsu!"

Now in their 12th year as a group, M!LK has demonstrated significant growth and achieved a major breakthrough.

With the increased attention surrounding the group, many comments have appeared on social media noting similarities between M!LK and MCZ in both their performances and conduct.

It seems that the Stardust spirit and values cultivated by MCZ have been successfully passed on to their younger labelmates.
