Up-and-coming artist 7ORDER has revealed the music video fo Moshimo, written by singer-songwriter Mao Abe. The track will be included on the group’s second album ‘Re:ally?’ which releases on February 2, 2022. Moshimo is a sad love balled, the first song of its kind for 7ORDER. The music video feels like a short film capturing the fickleness of adolescence that everyone experiences. It conjures up memories of young life and things like career struggles and love triangles. Moshimo Music Video (Drama Ver.)
The group has also announced an additional event limited to purchasers of their second album. In addition to the online autograph sessions and rehearsal viewings, individual autograph sessions will be held face-to-face! This is an incredible opportunity to meet and talk with the 7ORDER members in person.

Comment from Mao Abe
“I’m honored to be involved with 7ORDER by providing some of my music! I’m happy that the group played my personal favorite song Moshimo with such care and attention. Thank you so much. May this song, along with 7ORDER’s charms, find its way into the hearts of the fans!”Comment from 7ORDER
“This is the first love balled for 7ORDER. We spent a lot of time talking with Mao Abe before we started working on the song, and she took a lot of our thoughts into consideration. Moshimo means ‘If…’ I’m sure everyone has thought that at least once. We all look back at the past sometimes and think ‘what if?’ It can be a wonderful thing or a painful thing, but it also teaches the importance of dreaming about the future. It’s a love song, but in this current world filled with so much sorrow, I would be happy if it could inspire people to dream about a brighter future.”Information
