M00M WORLD PARTNERS WITH JAPANESE ELECTRONIC LEGEND SHINICHI OSAWA FOR FIRST-EVER IN-GAME LIVE DJ SET
The “Cozy Cyberpunk” MMO Rings in the New Year With a Live Broadcast from Tokyo, Limited Edition Avatar Drops, and a Winter Wonderland Minigame
MIAMI, FLORIDA – December 11, 2025 – m00m world, the cozy cyberpunk mobile MMO where digital and physical reality collide, today announced a massive New Year’s event headlined by legendary Japanese producer and Tokyo’s EDM pioneer, Shinichi Osawa (also known as Mondo Grosso).
Kicking off on December 31st at 9:00 AM EST (leading into the Midnight New Year countdown in Tokyo), Osawa will perform m00m world’s first-ever in-world live DJ set. The performance will be broadcast directly from Tokyo to the m00m world virtual dance floor, which has been transformed with club-style lighting and a custom DJ deck for the event.
“We’ve always imagined m00m as a world where music, fashion, and tech collide to create pop culture moments in real-time,” says Jordan Freda, Founder of m00m world. “Shin has been a huge supporter of m00m world from our earliest days and has pushed us within Tokyo’s club scene, so it’s only right the first-ever live DJ set in-game belongs to him!”
The Event Lineup:
- Live NYE Performance: Players can gather at the main stage to experience Shinichi Osawa’s set live as it happens in Tokyo.
- January Residency: For those who miss the live drop, the set will be rebroadcast as a “residency” event every Friday through January.
- Exclusive Drops: A limited-edition Shinichi Osawa virtual avatar, featuring his signature “SOLITUDE” fashion and custom emotes, will be available to collect and play.
- Holiday Activities: The game map has received a total holiday overhaul, featuring a new physics-based “winter sledding” mini-game where players crash down hills to collect presents.
The collaboration runs deep between the artist and the studio. m00m Co-Founder & Art Director Ben Lam previously worked alongside Osawa on major music video projects, including an original anime featuring BoA, one of the largest K-Pop artists in the world.
“Streaming a live, high-fidelity audio performance from Tokyo directly into a mobile environment with thousands of concurrent users is a technical milestone for us,” said Jay Noe, CTO of m00m world. “We are bridging the gap between the Tokyo underground club scene and our global player base in real-time, proving that m00m world is a place where digital experiences can create culture.”
Osawa is credited as a pioneer in bridging Japanese underground club textures with mainstream pop and jazz-influenced sounds. Most recently, his work as Mondo Grosso included “My Voice,” a collaboration with pioneering virtual singer KAF. m00m world is available now for download on iOS and Android.
