    Your ability to distinguish the members by their faces & voices so fast is impressive for a new XG reactor! Some reactors don't even bother to try and learn each member's individual name. Your attention to details is also great. Loved your reaction!

    The live version of Winter Without You sounds even better, especially the one they did with a live band. Also it's not only Maya of the rappers in XG that can really sing as well. ALPHAZ like myself can't wait for the day they unleash Cocona's true singing capabilities even though she's the hiphop maknae in XG

    • @OleDirtyBastard68
      @OleDirtyBastard68 Месяц назад

      Cocona can do it all. Personally I'm waiting for the moment she draws a violin out of her sleeve and starts fiddling, rapping and dancing simultaneously ^^

      I agree, frequently revisit the part of the documentary where she is singing. At only 13 she sounded like a grown ass woman and her voice was so full and silky smooth. You get glimpses of her singing, mostly in choruses and small parts of a verse, but I want her to have a couple verses in an R&B song. They are all amazing, been following for close to 2 years now and I am still blown away at how insanely talented they all are, not to mention the stellar production staff, lead by Simon (best CEO you could ask for).

    • @kakkoishonen

    Since you listened to X-Gene, you might as well listen to the entire New DNA album. GRL GVNG, TGIF, New Dance, and Puppet Show in that order. The great thing about XG is that they have an mv for every song, all bangers too.

    XG is the truth. You didn't hear their other club banger, "TGIF". They can give it to you however you want. They even did a rock version of "Shooting Star" at one of their shows. It went so hard. Keep checkin them out.
    Nice reaction

    For Woke Up, Cocona did in fact shave her head on camera. They released a behind the scenes vid where they showed she practiced doing it while rapping with her claws on, then she shaved off some bits on camera, and afterwards she/her hairstylist finished it up. She'd had her head shaved as a kid and Simon gave her the green light to do it again in this video. Iconic!
    As for Hinata looking creepy in the hook, in the BTS she specifically said that's what she was going for, so she definitely nailed it. 😂😈 Honestly it may be my favorite look from her, and considering how hard their stylists go that's saying a lot.

    An excellent reaction, I like the critical way you have of seeing things. The details that do not stand out at first glance, of giving due time to the reaction. Indeed Cocona shaved her hair in that video, by the way they usually publish behind the scenes and there you can see that it was indeed like that. XG has a lot of material on their page where what stands out the most is their history, the beginning of everything, and how they prepared to become what they are today.
    There is also a video here on RUclips that is a guide to get to know them better, it is called the XG 2024 guide, and here I leave you a little more information, I hope it is to your liking / thanks once again.
    it's always nice to find people who enjoy good taste and know how to appreciate the hard work that these girls have had on the long road they have traveled since 2017. Well, here I leave you a small historical review of XG
    XG is a 7 member group formed by XGALX who parent company is Avex. The members ages range from 18-22. All members are Japanese with 2 members being mixed one is Japanese Australian and the other Japanese Korean.
    The group had a training period of 5 years, starting in 2017 until the end of 2021. They have a hip-hop/R&B concept and are the first group to debut in the new global entertainment production XGALX, which is affiliated with Avex. The group strives to empower young people around the world with their fresh, inventive music and performance.
    In my opinion they are all talented with different qualities and when they are put together they have made the perfect group.. they sing, they dance, they have charisma, they are humble, their music is not sexist and they adore their fans (alphaz) .. Get ready with some popcorn, a good soda and a good towel. Because you will be completely wet with satisfaction and emotion when you immerse yourself in the world of XG / thank you
    XG'S songs in release order and all official group releases are in English.
    1. Tippy Toes (debut song)
    2. Mascara
    3. Shooting Star
    4. Left Right (First Japanese group and Japanese female artists to make the US Mediabase radio top 40 charts.

    10. Undefeated (collaboration with the video game Valorant: animated MV on Valorant channel but I would go with the Preformance video on XG'S channel)
    11. Woke Up
    12. Something ain't Right
    They also have series to showcase their dance, vocals and rap. The vocal series and rap showcases can be in Japanese Korean or English or a mixture of all 3

    Besides the official songs and Move, Vox and Tape series theres 2 other music to check out. The Preformance video for their 2 intros for their first mini album Hesonoo and X-Gene. The 2 youngest members also did a song for the show Street Woman Fighter 2 called Show you can.
    Few other things on their channel once you get to know them more. Xtra XG behind the scenes for the MVs and such. XG Days Vlog type videos. Xtra Xtra is a documentary showing how the group was formed and their 5 years of training. Warning its raw and emotional

    Winter Without You
    * Chisa Yelling - recreates a scene from Love Letter (1995) Japanese movie where characters husband is lost and never found in a snowstorm in the mountains. She goes there to yell out to him "How are you?". She replies to the echo. "I'm doing fine.", knowing the echo is the only response she will ever get.
    * Girls crying - they surprise each of them with a video message from their family who they really have not seen for 5+ years during their training.
    * This XG original song is a unique Christmas gift to us Alphaz and the World.
    * Released Dec 6 for Christmas, I personally listened 500+ times in Dec alone from my Music Recap!

    Love your reaction. I am spinning Winter Without You even in Summer too so I get it. You're going to love that First Take version, it might even be better than the recorded to be honest! I also appreciate how you notice the vocals, most people get bowled over with the rap line in XG (understandable!) but they are so vocally amazing too. Juria is my bias, I don't know how her voice can be gentle but strong all at the same time but it is, so soothing. Chisa is our power vocal queen and Hinata's tone is pretty and nice for the ears. Then there's our ace Maya who has both rap and vocal pipes lol. Can't wait to see more!!

    Harvey's mardi gras scene looks like a refernce to the OG 1997 Final Fantasy VII scene of the Sorceress Eden when she's in the parade in Deling City. That's the first thing that came to the mind soon as the scene came up...float, outfit, and all. It's before your time and I'm kind of dating myself....LOL.
    HESONOO is pronounced as (Heh-Son-No-Oh)...meaning umbilical cord. This is the word the girls use to hype and get themselves ready before all their performances.
    Fun Fact: The ending pose of X-GENE have the girls lined up (from right to left) in age order (oldest to youngest) starting with Chisa, then Hinata, Jurin, Harvey, Juria, Maya, and Cocona.

    Cocona actually shaved it IN the video. Their CEO Simon is sitting off camera shitting bullets lol. He's both proud and worried but and Maya immediately comes running up to Cocona and is thrilled. Cocona admitted to shaking with nerves both while she did it and after but she had wanted to do this since apparently their trainee days so this song finally gave everyone the opportunity to pull the trigger. But yeah even Simon looked like a dad that was just thinking... "What is she doing? What am I letting her do? This is so scary!" And then he just shouts out "Cocona FIGHTING!" it's a delight to watch the entire crew was talking about how bad ass Cocona was there.

    Thank you so much I think you got what XG is everything you say in XG’s reactions is on point. I like the way you put woke up and then winter without you cuz that is what XG true color is hip hop and r&b Japanese global group, despite they do pop house acoustic rock styles they are under the 90th real hiphop and r&b genere influence wherever you feel the nostalgic of that era in XG music you are right , they said it many times but most people don’t get it .

  • @InGameTheoryLoL

Based on your reactions so far, VOX 1 and 6 and Tapes 3A/3B might be good next steps (or you could take the tapes in order to see their growth over time)

I now live in a Sunny ☀️ City but this song when it was released I loved it so much. If you notice the tree in the center is Sakura 🌸✨the Cherry Blossoms the Japanese Tradition so the Xtraordinary Girls were of course are in S. Korea receiving a film 🎞️ of their parents wishing them a Happy Holiday at the end of the MV. Thank you for reacting to XG’s Songs, Raps and you must review their Choreography!! They dance like a Dance Crew..I became an immediate fan after seeing Move 1# prior to their debut. See you on the next one #Alphaz. 🎧🎼💫🤍🐺

    yesss woke up is my fave song for them next to grl gvng and their cyphers
    i dont like many girl groups cause a lot especially in kpop/jpop are very cutesy and i dont like that kind often if once in a while sure but not every song.
    these are my top girl groups (globally)
    Mamamoo
    XG
    Le Sserafim
    Little Mix (with and without jessi the old and newer songs are all great ignoring the drama)
    Flo
    all of these groups are so great in their own ways i wish little mix and mamamoo got more exposure and recognition before their hiatus's im not sure if mamamoo will make group music again but i think little mix would be very unlikely but always possible. but both of their discography's are worth listening to if you havent before.
    XG is going places like i think theyll rival the top gg in korea rn while getting more of a foothold globally woke up showed theyre a problem for these girl groups lol
    le sserafim is just so sweet idk theyre just great vibes i think they have a lot of potential to get bigger but im not sure what they want yet both xg and le sserafim are still pretty new like 2 years old.
    Flo debut in 2019
    mamamoo debut in 2014 and little mix in 2011
    Flo deserves to be way bigger than they are. their collab with missy elliot is so good. i hope they keep getting bigger especially in the states.

I'm sure you will get to it, but these ladies trained and competed for five years under the direction of Simon (2017 - 2022) when they debuted with Tippy Toes in March. AMAZING STORY. Simon (JAKOPS), was in a KPOP group called Dalmations or DMTN. They had a dew great songs like E.R. Simon had frosted hair in that video. He was the one walking in at the beginning of Woke Up. I love and respect Jurin, Maya, Chisa, Hinata, Harvey, Juria and last but not least Cocona. They post their everyday life and they are so humble, fun and human!!!

    If you really want to see their dance crew level skills check out their "fixed" version of all their Dance Practice videos (especially Tippy Toes, Mascara, Shooting Star, Left Right, Puppet Show, and choreography video for Undefeated). All their dance, Move and Choreo videos are incredible!.
    If you want to really appreciate their vocals, then check out their live singing on 'The First Take' (for Shooting Star and Winter Without You), and 'It's Live'! Their live singing is better than the studio produced vocals -- though I know at this moment that wouldn't seem possible.

    Hey Tov1n ... I just read your community post and wanted to add a brief comment. I hope posting my perspectives here is ok and doesn't violate your guidelines.
    Like many, my introduction to K-pop was through BTS around 2014/2015, about 1 year or so after they debuted. BTS is still the gold standard in my book for their mix of lyrics construction, musical range, stage showmanship, vocal & rap skills, music with a social message that all combined into a sound and dance presentation that made an R&B OG fan like me take notice. While still being loyal Army, I subsequently discovered Exo and soon realized there was a real place for me in K-pop fandom. Like with BTS, I found Exo's sound and showmanship to really be outstanding! From that point I was hooked on select 3rd gen groups like BTS, Exo, GOT7 and NCT and their music was/ is on regular rotation in my playlist.
    But for whatever reason I never really became a fan of the reigning 3rd gen girl groups. (No shade, just being honest).
    I began with the above as context to explain I think 4th gen K-pop/ X-pop/global music group category) can in many ways be defined by the ascendance of really talented female groups like XG. (Again, I know XG isn't Kpop and instead is X-pop/ global music.) I've been an Alphaz almost from Day 1 (my daughter introduced me to them right after Tippy Toes was released in 2022). XG is far and away my #1 bias girl group! But I also like New Jeans, Le Sserafim (live performance drama aside) and I'm keeping my eyes on 5th gen groups like Illit (I know the whole Hybe/ ADOR drama), Natty of Kiss of Life (what a dancer!), & Young Posse.
    It just feels like the today's ladies K-pop/ X-pop/ global music groups are really strong and the K-pop/ X-pop/ global band scene is in a really exciting period. I think XG, is defining themselves in ways that mirror BTS,... vocal talent, rap deliver, dance, stage presence, message music and overall live performance skill that reflects they have and continue to "put in the work"! Just as importantly, I really respect that despite their rapidly building success, they have remained humble and thankful to their fans, collaborators and management which makes it easy to go from liking and rooting for them to loving them individually and as a group! I also appreciate how they are pushing traditional boundaries on what K-pop, (X-pop/ global music) especially from female group can look and sound like in ways that are truly exciting! They are pioneers and innovators in the best way and I join my fellow Alphaz in looking forward to the long and successful ride with XG!
    Like Alphaz globally, I'm always happy when someone new, as you did @Tov1n, discovers XG and can immediately see and respect their talent. I'd say you are quickly becoming an Alphaz as you are impressively understanding the multi-layer approach XG delivers in their music from a lyrical and over all presentation perspective. Welcome to the club @Tov1n!🙂

    LOL .. no surprise regarding your reaction... I was pretty sure you would enjoy "Winter Without You!" The First Take vids underscore they don't sound great because they have an awesome sound engineer who layers in multiple takes to create a finished product they could never replicate.. naw not XG ...these ladies have skilz and are all legit singers and rappers! The thing that is really impressive is that when you check out their dance practice videos, you'll also be able to fully appreciate their dance skills. They go hard!! You've seen a little of Jurin and Cocona going off but you will be amazed by the sophistication of their choreo... trust you'll definitely enjoy the dance practice for Grl Gving!
    FYI they will be on an 8 city US tour in October. Most of the shows sold out within an hour or two of tickets going on sale... lots of vids on the Tube of their live show which is really good.
    Welcome to the crew ... these girls are amazing!
    PS. Shout out to @St2dio21... I agree! Nice job Tov1n!

    Cocona actually shaved her head during the Woke Up video. She had wanted to do it for a while but it never fit the concept of their videos.

    So glad you loved them! Winter Without You was on repeat when it first dropped. If you wanna listen to more rnb songs, I'd like to recommend EXO. They have sooo many rnb songs, and they do them so well. Some of my favorite songs are:
    - Baby, don't cry
    - No Makeup
    - What is Love
    - Wait
    - Christmas Day
    - Moonlight
    - Good Night
