World Order
The creator of the viral supergroup World Order, Genki Sudo, had one of the most interesting career paths imaginable. He started as a champion MMA fighter, became a world-famous performance artist and musician, and then became a sitting member of Japan's parliament. This video, shot on the streets of Tokyo, is a perfect example of his unique creative vision. The video was shot without permits in Akihabara, Tokyo, capturing the real reactions of shoppers and tourists. The massive pop group featured on stage is AKB48, one of the highest-selling music acts in Japanese history. "Wotagei," the synchronized cheering done by the idol fans with glow sticks, is a popular subculture in its own right in Japan.
