Artists active in the techno genre such as Takashi Watanabe and Ken Ishii have helped to create World Order's musical image.
In Japan, after several appearances on popular television programs, World Order's name recognition has expanded to the general public.
The group has gained high praise, particularly from abroad, for their play on the visual stereotype of Japanese office workers and robotic dance performances.
In a 2014 interview with the Japan Times, Sudo said, "When we started, I liked the idea of adding a bit of humor to the Hollywood stereotype that all Japanese people are serious so I decided we should dance in a robotic way wearing glasses and suits.
The music video for "Mind Shift" was released on YouTube on July 24, introducing two new members, Masato Ochiai and Akihiro Takahashi, and making World Order a 7-member group.
[6] World Order's "2012" music video, released on October 25, 2011, saw the departure of Kiyoyuki Sakiyama, being effectively replaced by Takeshi Jonishi.

[13] On April 20, 2013, World Order performed at the prestigious Nippon Budokan, which is generally used as an indoor arena to host martial arts competitions but has seen use by many musicians.
[14] On June 17, 2013, a music video for "Imperialism" was released, with the introduction of Ryuta Tomita, replacing the departed Ryo Noguchi.
On July 27, 2015, the group had travelled to China as a 6-member unit for their "Multipolarity" music video, which featured a secret appearance by Genki Sudo in disguise.
In October 2015, Genki Sudo officially resigned from World Order, shortly following the release of "The Next Phase", as a dance member and lead vocalist, instead choosing to focus on being a director and producer for the group.
The seven SKE48 members included were Yuna Ego, Ryoha Kitagawa, Ruka Kitano, Haruka Kumazaki, Sana Takatera, Yuzuki Hidaka and Chikako Matsumoto.

[41] On August 16, 2019, World Order's management suspended their website's diary service due to administrative reasons.
[42] On August 22, World Order officially announced for their 10-year anniversary live concert to be held for 2-days during December in Tokyo from the 20th to 21st at the Kanda Myojin Hall, with two different show times for the Saturday performance.
Genki Sudo and Takashi Jonishi were present in the music video, instead of Keisuke Kimura and Kosuke Shizunaga, due to scheduling conflicts.
