They're promoting as a Global Girl Group. They're catering to wider audience. I just hope next comeback they'd release japanese ver. of their songs coz their pre debut rap video Harvey and Jurins Japanese verse is fucking insane.
About the “resemblance” to of XG ‘Tippy toes’ and le serrafims fearless I think the vibe of the song is similar but Tippy toes was released first.( just saying Because people discovered XG after their resent ‘comeback’ and accused them of copying le serrafim (which is ridiculous btw)after hearing tippy toes even tho tippy toes was released before we even knew a group called le serrafim was gonna debut)
Sadly it seems like a lot of people don't know that they're meant to be an international girl group which is why they're singing in English. Most likely if they get more famous as time goes on than they will release songs in Japanese and Korean. Also i know a lot of k-pop fans aren't j-pop fans so y'all won't know that these kind of girl power girl groups don't do well in Japan so it was smart of them to promote in Korea first.
Not every song should be full in sounds, Tippy Toes is a minimalistic song and it's great in its own style, it's addictive and super sexy, while Mascara's production is all over the place but in a good way, and it is addictive af too. Two totally different styles but both are awesome.
The AAVE is because of the lyrics and rap writers who are AA, so I think that's why it has so much AAVE. I kinda get it tho They are also aiming to be a global girl group so that's why they sing in English and are promoted in Korea
Their concept is Hip Hop/RnB. They were produced by a 2nd Gen kpop idol member, I think maybe you might appreciate it more if you watched their pre-debut stuff , cause I think it's more about showcasing their talent rather than just admiring the whole production or song. love your channel ♡
@@PeachMa dude I’m so dumb I thought she meant “promoted” lol. Cause Heechul be doing the most with promoting tbh, he posted about them on his story once they debuted and a lot of people got interested in them after seeing his post. Sorry about that , my bad 🙏🏻
omg i'm so excited you've reacted to xg!! mascara is their latest release, but they have been promoting it for the last week on music shows (and honestly the group fancam of mascara just has this insane energy imo bc it's live)! also a great video you can watch or show to the dancers on here are their pre debut dance performance videos #1 and #2! it honestly blew me away when it first came out, and it really shows how solid their dancing ability is.
Bro they are killing in on every korean show right now live vocals, dancing stage presence but they are getting hate from them. They are taking AVEX CEO words out of context. Their relay dance is probably one of the best ever.
They are an international group, they will sing in English because they are aimed for global. Also lol they can speak English because they went to international schools in Japan.
They do have a lot for your to watch! They have a lot of predebut (mostly dance) performances!! They’re insane! You should check them. I started stanning them because of those performances! Thank you for reacting to them!
Their pre-debut dance clips is so skilled that even experienced dancers can call them a dance crew So I want them to do the one where the pro dancers react!
You REALLYYYY should react to their Dance Performance before they debut.. the dance performance #1 to see how hard they can go.... those girls are just dance crew level.. INSANE 🔥👌👀
XG are currently promoting in korea so thats why theres many perfomances on music shows. Ive watched them and im pretty sure theyre singing live in most of them too
I am also obsessed with Jurin(Her stage presence is phenomenal) she is also the leader of XG, I am also super excited because I heard that Hikaru from Kep1er will be in this group after Kep1er ends
@@KokoroMizu It’s not that bad, a lot of groups have more, the group Hikaru is currently in has 9. 7-8 members is actually pretty common for Jpop and Kpop groups American groups are normally less it just depends on how they play their cards. But if that’s your opinion that’s fine but I think that Hikaru’s vibe really matches well with this group her joining would also be good for the group since she is already growing a large fan base. There was an article where Simon mentioned that she will be joining and I heard that she had been training with XG since 2019 there is also a clip of her with them so there is a big chance it will happen.
They are a global Hip Hop and R&B girl group, so they sing in English and their music has a more Americanized style.As a global group, they are currently promoting in Korea, but in the future they will also promote in other countries. You should check their vocal performance (Peaches Cover), rap performance (Chill Bill remix), and dance performances on their RUclips channel.
I felt the same way when I've heard tippy toes at first, we are always expecting something high pitched. But after listening to the other releases I've finally understood that they really wanted to lauch something completely different to break the predictable, and there is something about tippy toes that, the more you listen, the more addicted you get to it. And also, when you listen to all the songs in order of release, my God... We always think kind of "this is really good, it can't be any better" and then XG goes and shows you that yes, it can be. Now I love all of their songs.
I'm glad we're on the same page about jurin. saw her, heard her, obsessed. that woman has so much charisma, sometimes when I start looking at her I forget looking at the other members at all
You might want to check out their pre-debut solo dances or one of their dance performances. With the solos there are 7 videos with 7 different styles of dance. there is a playlist on their YT channel and the times range from 56 seconds to 2 minutes in length.
They have 3 dance videos as a group and they each have dance videos of themselves too if you wanna check those out for more from them. It's not their songs but the kill it everytime
The comment you made about their hair flowing naturally made me subscribe. It's the detail in your observations...it's the little things of all the things
Because of the global girl group thing, they are singing in English. But now that you mention Japanese, they could do like ONE OK ROCK and half like half a verse in the middle be in Japanese, for some flavour. Mascara is definitely a banger, but I am a fan of the quiet Tippy Toes. Interested to see what direction they go next. I think this is Japan trying to get into the international K-pop popularity, but they also have the international influences like AAVE. I am here for it.
Its an international girlgroup (the member is all japanese but their market is international) not korean nor japanese thats why there is no other language other than english
No no japanese in their songs. Making them a global girl group was the smartest move because they will sing in english. If the song had any japanese in it, Koreans would be making excuses not to play them. The reason why Jpop never made it big out of Japan is because Jpop doesn't need to. Any Japanese artist can make good money without even being known outside of japan. Japan has the second biggest music market in the world. Now Avex ceo and Simon Jakops former Kpop idol and Avex trainee were thinking outside the box when they put this together. They are trying to expand outisde of Japan. Why do you think Blackpink is so successful outside of Korea?... because 3 of their members are are fluent in english and you can understand the english lyrics and they are not cringe. Remember English is the #1 universal language in the world and not even by putting Korean and Japanese together you can top English. This was a power move and a great one.
Because it's not a kpop girl group song. They are a global Hip Hop and R&B girl group where all the members are Japanese and from a Japanese company XGALX subsidiary of AVEX (also trainees from AVEX Artist Academy in Tokyo).
One of the members said 'sayonara' so they did happen to add some Japanese flavor to their song but u missed it and it happen just when u said u wanted something Japanese lol
@@Koko3op It's because they are a global group, not j pop, so they added only one Japanese word that is known outside of Japan. In Tippy Toes they used "bento" 😅
I love XG too😀 Please react to "Save yourself"by"ONE OK ROCK"too. Please check this out? He is a really talented singer. His vocal range is very broad! i'm sure you'll like it😊 They have a North American tour starting in September！🎸
Idk y but I always end up favoring the one who never gets any lines😭 and then everyone I see react to them never says anything about her or even notices her ( I’m talking about the blonde hair girl btw)
Didn't even notice the forced aave writing/rapping, sorta sprinkled with the english for most of their choruses too. I feel like for them, singing/rapping in Japanese is sort of the standard and it categorizes them as a typical Jpop group and if they were to sing/rap in Korean they would therefore be labeled as Kpop. It seems like they are trying to appeal to all markets though so they get lost in this East Asian/Western mix, which usually pulls and oftentimes steals from Black Western culture/art/etc. It's gonna be hard to manage but I'm wishing the best for them. I just want their image to be fully authentic, consensual, yet appropriate. It would be nice to have some Japanese throughout the song but I think their English adds extra flare to the group as a global collective. I know TBZ did Korean only for their Japanese debut, then they eventually implemented Japanese fully for their latest Japanese release. Maybe that's how XG is starting off ?
I consider them kpop, since what sets kpop apart is the training period, some idols train for over a decade and don't even get to debut. (Training isn't as common/necessary in jpop) So the sheer difference in effort (from everyone in front of and behind the cameras) is what makes it so special to me. You can really tell how hard they've pushed themselves for this level of perfection, not that Japanese culture has any less of a hardcore work ethic. There's also Chinese kpop groups like Everglow! (Not all members are Chinese but they are owned by a Chinese company) A few of the XGirls are rumoured former YG trainees (blackpinks company) and YG is known for strongly encouraging their idols to learn English (other kcompanies usually teach Japanese or Mandarin to promote the groups in those countries) XG weren't able to perform tippy toes on korean music shows (opportunity for major exposure and awards) which is such a shame since that choreo is phenomenal but they did get a few for mascara! I think their focus is the kpop scene since it's been massively trending international for years with no signs of yielding, but jpop hasn't as much? You should check out their peaches vocal performance too! Oh and your faves were Jurin, the leader, born 2002, professional snowboarder and model. Chisa, deputy leader, 2002 too, former actress and killer vocalist. Juria, main vocalist, 2004, some commercial acting and she has been in idol groups twice before Maya, lead vocal and rapper, 2005, powerful vocal and dance skills, and fluent in Korean, English, and Japanese I think they're sticking to English lyrics since it's a wider spoken language than Korean or Japanese, but in a lot of their bts they use all three often. I'd like to their lyrics (and styling occasionally) to move away from the appropriation too so hopefully they get better writers. There's a big kpop market in latin america too and I'm sure many different fans would love to see their language (respectfully) incorporated into kpop songs, even if it's just a line or two. You should check out KARD and their taki taki cover especially, one of their idols is very good at spanish
Well, I can lol the point still stands, it’s not a crime pointing out similarities. Some of you are so defensive over things that are very fair. This is why reactors just go “OMG AMAZING 🥹♥️👏🏾😍”.
You don't enjoy it because you can understand it? o_O At least their lyrics make sense, 90% of the English used in Kpop is nonsense or sang so poorly you can't even tell it's in English.
I hope you don't play around with Japanese jokes. I'm writing based on facts, so please read. Koreans only tell the truth. It's not that we hate xg, we're agitating the Japanese to hate them.
the aave and accents make me cringe a lil but i endure bc i like them lmfao. harvey is the worst culprit tbh, the girl is from austraila she knows damn well she dont sound like that. it gave me whiplash w/ their newest song lmao. their writers/producers should cihll on it a bit.
These girls are all JAPANESE. I just wanna put it out there because so many comments still calling them Korean. They have nothing to do with YG, despite the rumor. They are under AVEX, which is a big Japanese music label that has been the center of J-pop industry, and produced artists like Ayumi Hamasaki. Another piece of info to understand J-pop: J-pop didn’t really needed to export abroad like K-pop cuz the domestic market was big enough to profit, meaning their music style has only followed domestic trends (which led to some creative music like Perfume and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu). The problem is big labels like Avex didn’t even allow their MVs to be played by other countries by limiting license etc.. BUT with XG they decided to finally open to the world. Their company xgalx is sub label of avex trax. The main producer Simon was a former 2nd gen kpop idol. They used the kpop system to train these girls for last 5 years, the girls know english, korean & Japanese so the transition into Korean and Japanese releases will be easy for them. They actually just started promoting on Korean music shows.

J-pop didn’t really needed to export abroad like K-pop cuz the domestic market was big enough to profit, meaning their music style has only followed domestic trends (which led to some creative music like Perfume and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu). The problem is big labels like Avex didn’t even allow their MVs to be played by other countries by limiting license etc.. BUT with XG they decided to finally open to the world.
Their company xgalx is sub label of avex trax. The main producer Simon was a former 2nd gen kpop idol. They used the kpop system to train these girls for last 5 years, the girls know english, korean & Japanese so the transition into Korean and Japanese releases will be easy for them. They actually just started promoting on Korean music shows.
