Singer-songwriter Sasagawa Mao will be releasing the music video for “My First World Conquest” from his first album in about two and a half years, “STRANGE POP,” released this week on Wednesday, April 16th, starting at 8pm on Thursday, May 1st.
■MV for “First World Conquest” released from the new album
Singer-songwriter Sasagawa Mao released his first full album in about two and a half years, “STRANGE POP,” this week on Wednesday, April 16th. While his previous album (2nd Album) “Welcome to Sunnyside,” released in 2023, was a work centered around band sound, this work “STRANGE POP,” is an extremely experimental, ambitious work that explodes even further alternatives after passing through hyperpop.
The music video for M12’s “First World Conquest” has been completed from that new album, and will be released tonight at 8pm.
The music video was produced by Kani, a fantasy restaurant who has previously been in charge of music videos for Sasagawa Mao’s “The Slurred People” and “Carthy Plants.”
The animation is a rhythm game-style animation in which a pair of new demons who have been ordered to conquer the world and cook together.

Thankfully, this is the third time I’ve created a MV for Sasagawa Mao.
I’m making it with a groan every time. thank you.
The “First World Conquest” I was in charge of this time has a different kind of glitter than before.
It was a very luxurious song that was wrapped around me, so I want to create a music video that is no match for such songs! I thought so, and made it an animation of the cooking process, which is my specialty.
The two of them dominating the world, and have started off with a cute music video that eats the stars and the moon.
How about you?! Eat samosa!

■Sasagawa Mao Profile
Singer-songwriter.
When I was in junior high school, I was on the Nintendo DS’s “Great Ensemble! He began making music with the band Brothers as a playful experience, and then began to fully compose music at DTM.
In addition to his own activities, he has also been involved in providing music and arranges music to numerous artists, and is active in a wide range of artists.
Inspired by a variety of genres including dream pop, psyche, shoegaze, and guitar pop, Sasagawa’s songs create a unique soundscape that combines both delicateness and ferociousness. There is a different-dimensional sound that you’ve never seen before, and the delicate, beautiful, and dangerous world of lyrics captures the hearts of listeners.
The music penetrates listeners like a blessing, and fans are growing.
Music that is not just for everyone, where danger and inclusiveness coexist.
