WORLD ORDER first captured the international attention with the release of their music videos on Youtube — the sight of seven suited Japanese men dancing robotically against prominent Tokyo scenes garnered a huge reaction.

The new single and video IMPERIALISM builds on the group’s mission to prompt reflection contemporary society, working styles, global culture, and images of modern Japan. Provocatively shot in Washington D.C. — against backdrops of American sights like the US Capitol building and Union Station. Spontaneous moments from filming are kept as is for the video – WORLD ORDER’s expressive vision.

The new music video for IMPERIALISM is a continuation from the earlier Korea-set piece, Permanent Revolution. Instead of Asia, the IMPERIALISM video was shot on location in a modern world empire — Washington D.C., USA. Characteristic restraint and a solemn melody are coupled with a humorous performance, expressing yet again the meta-message of WORLD ORDER.

[ABOUT THE LYRICS]

Founder and leader of the group, Genki Sudo, says about the song, “It’s our first English-language release, but the message is the same as our other Japanese-language songs. We sing about the human family and the situation of the world.”

2013年6月19日　TUNECOREにて世界同時配信開始！
今回の新曲「IMPERIALISM」は、韓国ロケで話題を集めた前作「PERMANENT REVOLUTION」の続編。抑制された荘厳な曲調がパフォーマンス映像を盛り上げるとともに、WORLD ORDERのディープなメタメッセージを伝えている。今回のMVも海外ロケを敢行し、2013年5月米国のワシントンDCで撮影。行き交う市民やパトロールカー、白バイなど、市内の様々なハプニングや空気感をそのまま映像に織り込み、WORLD ORDERが従来から得意とする日常性と非日常性を対比させたエキセントリックな映像世界を創り上げている。
