After announcing his retirement from mixed martial arts and kickboxing in 2006, Genki Sudo left the sports world for the musical one. He then founded techno and robotic dance group World Order in 2009, where he also served as vocalist and leader until 2015.
Some may remember their song “Machine Civilization”, which gained notoriety after the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that occurred in 2011, their lyrics a stark contrast to much of the sugary-sweet imagery J-pop usually conjures up.
Now, almost five years later, the group has successfully taken their dancing and message and all over the world, landing in China for their latest music video, “QUIET HAPPINESS”.
World Order’s movements appear strangely peaceful against the backdrop of busy Shanghai, and the video was likely shot during a visit to the city to perform in the 2016 SMG Spring Festival Gala.
While many were disappointed to see Genki Sudo announce his final performance with the World Order last year, with this new official release everyone can rest assured he’s still the producer and the main man responsible for the group’s music, only now you can find him behind the camera instead of in front of it.

Still wonderful but I do miss Genki Sudo's handsome face.

So glad that they've come back again! The new performance is great, but my favorite is still "MIND SHIFT".

Well done ! (Typical Japanese "sarariman" style suits). The "Police cars" give an extra "effect" !

When the video ends, I noticed that one of the four follow-up videos suggested by the Youtube plugin happens to be a version of the same song shot in India... no mention of that in the article, of course. I especially like how every video they do (as far as I can tell) is available online as soon as it's released as opposed to hiding them behind a flurry of copyrights and paywalls. My favorites are their Boy Meets Girl cover and Change Your Life.

Saw these guys live last year- They certainly work tremendously hard and put on an excellent show.
Really hope that isn't the last time to see Genki Sudo taking part.
