World Order (stylized as WORLD ORDER) is a Japanese band formed by Genki Sudo following his retirement from Mixed Martial Arts. The band is best known for their song "Machine Civilization". This song was produced in response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[1]

World Order has produced two albums, World Order and 2012. Many of their videos show the band performing choreographed robotic dance in public places.[2]

World Order was featured in the 26th season premiere of the CBS reality television show The Amazing Race. Teams had the opportunity to participate in a detour where they would attempt to mimic World Order's dance moves. The dance was set to the song "Welcome to TOKYO".
