Japanese Band’s Weird Music Video Promises A Grin
If you’re feeling a little down, then you absolutely have to watch the video we’re about to discuss. This video proves that you don’t need a huge budget to create an engaging and incredible music video.
For many might not know about World Order, this group consists of five members and was formed by Genki Sudo, a former mixed martial artist. They often perform their shows in public, showcasing their impressive and technically challenging routines on the crowded streets of Japan.
In the video, the five members walk around the streets of a busy city in a uniquely entertaining robotic style. The music is lively and electronic, giving the video a slightly twisted, yet hilarious, vibe. As the video progresses, the group expands in size, resulting in a massive ensemble of performers dressed identically and dancing robotically in various locations around the city.
This is definitely a mood booster for those tired days. The humor and fun in the video make it highly captivating. Since it was uploaded on YouTube in 2016, it has garnered over 21 million views and received numerous compliments in the comment section.
A viewer commented, “Maybe I’m reading too much into it but, in addition to the modern dance elements, I’m also seeing kabuki and Noh elements. The extreme, mask-like expressions and the slow, stylised movements. A great fusion of influences!”
Another wrote, “it’s funny how this video makes me cry at the same time it gives comfort to me bc I only play this to make my mood better or whenever I feel sad.”
