Just got back from JAPAN & XG literally gets played EVERYWHERE!! My XG CONCERT VLOG is also dropping soon soo stay tuned for that!! They are INCREDIBLE!!!
My bias is Cocona but Maya with the blonde hair at the concert had crazy star quality, my new bias wrecker. I think I saw you at the concert, back row of the front section?
People will never truly understand how insane the vibes for XG during concert. The constant goosebumps and chills you feel when they perform live in their concert. And the assault of the set list to point they bring to tears in the end. And despite the wardrobe change and intermission in between you still feel like the concert went way too fast and just like that they already saying goodbye before the encore.
I used to think XG was #1 in musicality, and then I found their dance practices. They’re #1 in everything, far and away. They’re way too damn good in so many aspects.
its sooo irritating how theyre not getting more recognition!! but then again no matter how many people know how talented they are, theyll just keep getting better and better lol
@@zwmb1zss I also wish they could get more recognition, but we have to acknowledge they're inbetween hip hop and kpop, so it's almost niche. That and they're not the huge kpop companies. We should just appreciate what they're putting out and we get to live to listen/hear it.
@@zwmb1zss I know a lot of the current fans don't agree but I think they went way too hard with the alien looks and weird choreo to appeal to a mainstream audience. I'm not saying you have to ditch the concept or aesthetic, just execute it differently. Case in point, Chisa ALWAYS looks conventionally attractive in every MV, no matter how alien themed they go. The others should get the same treatment too. What's crazy to me is that people now have this idea that XG are S tier dancing, singing and rapping but sadly they're too weird/unattractive to actually compete. Which is insane to me because literally every single one of them is a 10, but it's gotten to the point where most people discovering them would never know. The most success I've had with getting non kpop fans to get interested in XG is showing them the MV for Left Right, any of the move/vox tapes or Cypher #2. SAR and IYKYK are also extremely good, but only if I play them on Spotify and not show the MV. I just think to reach a global mainstream audience they have to be less Paris Fashion Week and more Instagram hot. XG already has some of the best/catchiest choruses, add hot girls doing fundamental rhythmic dances/footwork on top of that and it's a slam dunk.
This might be one of the best MVs I've ever seen. The production is insane. I don't have the vocabulary to explain what kind of experience this was. Incredible.
XG is the leading force in Japanese hip-hop, pop, and rap. Often mistaken for a traditional pop group, they surpass the boundaries of J-Pop and K-Pop with their unique sound and style. That’s why they’ve earned the title of Japan's premier 'XPOP' group.
@@infinitelockeThat’s dope!! There was a time when XG wasn’t played much in Japan. Their recent TV promotions / live performances there has helped tremendously. A lot of Japanese people didn’t know XG was Japanese, but they are getting fully embraced now.
LIKE!!!!!!!!!! XG JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!!!! I am soo proud of these girls! And I agree hands done XGs concerts is the best I’ve been to this year! I was acting like a crazy fool & and proud mother all at once 😂 I remember finding them when they only had one song out, now look at them 😭😭😭😭 I didn’t have a bias going into the concert but yes MAYA told me she was my bias once she stepped foot on that stage
They are spoiling us with these hits . Amazing piece of art . XG is holding a feast and we Alphas are all invited . Prepare your 5 senses to be spoiled ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Why didn't this come out before the show?!!?" BRO SAME, I was so lucky to see IYKYK live in their concert but I would've LOST IT if they performed this live with the wolf head gear, looking like Princess Mononoke, maybe it's for the best cause it would've ended me..
They are the #1 group in Japan and their popularity is definitely growing in other parts of Asia but I need them to promote out of the US not Korea. Unfortunately, they will never get to the level of popularity that they deserve from Kpop stans merely because they are a Japanese group.
"XG" stands apart from typical K-Pop and J-Pop groups, defining themselves uniquely as an XPOP group from Japan. This distinct identity has led to mixed reactions, especially among Korean audiences, who tend to focus primarily on K-Pop groups. ---- No offense to any genre, but XG has already surpassed the traditional boundaries of K-Pop and J-Pop.
Happy XG day. Awesome you enjoyed your time in Japan 😊 Oh you said SWV! Ive been saying that. Everyone knows about TLC but SWV ppl be like who dat? Hehe im glad you said SWV
SWV is definitely a forgotten group that deserves their flowers for impact on groups around the world. I wouldn’t be surprised if the XG girls were familiar with them especially the vocal line
I went to Chicago from LA just to see them (I couldn't make it to the LA concert), had to fly back to LA the next day cuz of work, and they were somehow in front of me at the TSA line at the O'Hare Airport lmao Also, I agree with what you said about In the Rain, it for sure has that 90s/ early 2000s RnB vibe; I had to Google it to see if it was a cover 🤣
Howling is yet another immediate download. XG has firmly established themselves as the elite of K-pop ggs imo. And their bag is bigger than just about anyone’s. Their ambition is still the highest and because of it, they seem to have no ceiling. And personally, when they go rap verse into vocal hook with a vocal bridge, they are THE BEST in the business (until Blackpink returns).and that’s my favorite XG style.
That reference to MJ with the line " if i turn wolf , it must be a thriller " 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The video is INSANE. But what really pulls mybheart strings is those outfits with the headdress with the 2 little red lines/triangles under the eyes which are a direct reference to Princess Mononoke which is my all time favortie anime movie
I'm afraid to listen to the other 2 new songs cos I wanna savour it. Howling is my favourite song already. I would hate to have it overcome by the other 2 in so short a time.
SO SPECIAL - I don’t even consider them “The group right now” “in Asia” They are one of the Best Groups Ever Assembled PERIOD! (IMO) 🌟12:59 Yes! I’ve been feelin SWV “Rain Down in Me” since I heard this. “Is this Love” keeps making me get “Shawty Swing it My Way” vibes I dunno why 🤷🏻♀️😅
Man this album is so good. Like I'm conflicted if I should cry or get mad about the bsides. In this love brings so much of my childhood vibe. Highschool love. Apparently is was written back in 2019 before they debut. Crazy
I was looking forward to your reaction this time too! 😊 Simon and XG made great music again. 😭❤️🔥👍 I'm looking forward to your reaction next time too. From alphaz🐺🐺 in Japan🇯🇵
When you said "the game is in trouble" no frfr. That's what the mv showed. Like XG said: they better kneel and pray, cuz they coming for the throne. Also I heard the Immigrant Song which is like a war cry imo. They're infiltrating this bot like system (as shown in the mv) and "breaking idol stereotypes" by bringing uniqueness, color/life into a music world that's lacking individuality. They're coming and attacking full force til they take over completely. Lastly, I loved your reaction.❤
XG is a PROBLEM. NO ONE is doing what they’re doing, and every facet is top notch! Maya is my bias too, but I understand it’s hard to pick. I feel like you were speaking my thoughts precisely.
ALPHAZ 🐺 on deck. XG DON'T MISS! XG's Multicultural Concept is one not seen before. XG are Alien 👽Wolf 🐺 pack from another Galaxy. XG Alien 👽 Storyline Visuals wasn't established until "Shooting Star" [3rd] released in 2023. Visuals expands the atmosphere of the song and creates an immersive feeling draws the audience into a wild world. The music video depicts XG coming from outer space, tearing apart a standardized city where everything is controlled in the same way. The work strongly expresses the group strong unity, like a pack of wolves, and their will to change the existing order and world in their own way. XG inspired by Michael Jackson. XG included MJ's Moonwalk, Thriller, Dangerous, in their lyrics and some Earth Song Visuals, Caption EO "We Are Here To Change The World" Visuals. XG can transform themselves into different forms. "Howling" Chisa, a Goddess with Wings. "WOKE UP" Chisa, Wolf Goddess with Wings. "IYKYK" Chisa, an Avatar with Wings. "GRL GVNG" Chisa, with Wings. "MASCARA" Chisa, with Wings. 👸🏼
Only thing id change about this song is maya's delivery, when she says the second "Bigger" and "Killer" she should of been a little louder instead of keeping it one note.
Maya is my bias through and through but Jurin is always trying to bias wrecking me so I feel you! They truly went extra crazy with this MV and the concept. 10/10! 🔥🔥🔥
Ima keep it a buck xg can’t be touched rap game strong dancing strong concept unlike anything else in kpop nothing cheesy and cringe like other gg I won’t mention names but yea XG IS 🔥
![[THEY ARE THE BEST!] XG - AWE ALBUM FIRST LISTEN](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/jd0JpgujloQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Just got back from JAPAN & XG literally gets played EVERYWHERE!! My XG CONCERT VLOG is also dropping soon soo stay tuned for that!! They are INCREDIBLE!!!
Waitin 4 XG to be played Stateside like Taylor. & Billie. It will come one day. 🤞
🤞I hope the stars align and you do in fact make that jump to Japan.
My bias is Cocona but Maya with the blonde hair at the concert had crazy star quality, my new bias wrecker. I think I saw you at the concert, back row of the front section?
@@jamalgibson8yep! You Definitely saw me!!
I'm sure the girls would recognize you Eric! Hope you get to meet them in person some day 🙌🏾
It’s the best way to start the morning and weekend. XG really saved music for me.
Groups like them are generational! They don’t come around too often!

lesgo! another fave XG reactor ❤ AWE is lit! love all the songs. XG is THEM. GREAT ARTIST. GREAT MUSIC. GREAT PRODUCTION. let's be real.
They are hitting on all levels right now!!
"of course its Jurin" THIS NEEDS TO BE ON A SHIRT!!!
XG is the leading force in Japanese hip-hop, pop, and rap. Often mistaken for a traditional pop group, they surpass the boundaries of J-Pop and K-Pop with their unique sound and style. That’s why they’ve earned the title of Japan's premier 'XPOP' group.
I was always curious to know if they get played in Japan. Great to hear that you heard XG in a multitude of different places.
They get played literally everywhere! It was sooo fire hearing them out and about!
@@infinitelockeThat’s dope!! There was a time when XG wasn’t played much in Japan. Their recent TV promotions / live performances there has helped tremendously. A lot of Japanese people didn’t know XG was Japanese, but they are getting fully embraced now.
XG leaving us Alphas in AWE!!!!!!
日本🇯🇵のアーティストを取り上げて頂きありがとうございます🙇✨✨✨
Anytime! I love Japan🇯🇵❤️🔥
XG ON TOP~~
AGREED!❤️🔥
LIKE!!!!!!!!!! XG JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!!!! I am soo proud of these girls! And I agree hands done XGs concerts is the best I’ve been to this year! I was acting like a crazy fool & and proud mother all at once 😂 I remember finding them when they only had one song out, now look at them 😭😭😭😭
I didn’t have a bias going into the concert but yes MAYA told me she was my bias once she stepped foot on that stage
When I first listened to "In The Rain" I literally was in my feelings and still am, I needed that! 😫❤ absolutely gorgeous
They are spoiling us with these hits . Amazing piece of art . XG is holding a feast and we Alphas are all invited . Prepare your 5 senses to be spoiled ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bro, my mouth dropped when I heard Jurin singing in, In The Rain. They are the only gg group where my favorite switches constantly. 😂😂😂
"Why didn't this come out before the show?!!?"
BRO SAME, I was so lucky to see IYKYK live in their concert but I would've LOST IT if they performed this live with the wolf head gear, looking like Princess Mononoke, maybe it's for the best cause it would've ended me..
I would’ve been on the floor😭😭
They are the #1 group in Japan and their popularity is definitely growing in other parts of Asia but I need them to promote out of the US not Korea. Unfortunately, they will never get to the level of popularity that they deserve from Kpop stans merely because they are a Japanese group.

I said in the rain is like Boyz 2 men and tlc broke up and agreed to do a duet about it lol
The best description I’ve heard!
I agree theso's something about Maya's flow that hits every time!!
Literally! She be talking that talk!
honestly Maya has always been my bias too but your right about Jurin too shes so talented
They always deliver!!! Every. Single. Time. Not to sound biased but they really are neXt level!!! Your reaction was so relatable!
That cowboy bebop intro goes hard!!! fiya!!
IN THE RAIN IS SO GOOD. theres an artist named Janine, her vocals would be so beautiful with theirs for a remix.
Happy XG day. Awesome you enjoyed your time in Japan 😊
Oh you said SWV! Ive been saying that. Everyone knows about TLC but SWV ppl be like who dat? Hehe im glad you said SWV
SWV is definitely a forgotten group that deserves their flowers for impact on groups around the world. I wouldn’t be surprised if the XG girls were familiar with them especially the vocal line
Same!!!!!!! I’ve been feeling that the whole time!
Seriously, SERIOUSLY! how can they still be getting exponantially better? This is inhuman!!!
Because they 👽 lol
The alien in them is showing!
I went to Chicago from LA just to see them (I couldn't make it to the LA concert), had to fly back to LA the next day cuz of work, and they were somehow in front of me at the TSA line at the O'Hare Airport lmao
Also, I agree with what you said about In the Rain, it for sure has that 90s/ early 2000s RnB vibe; I had to Google it to see if it was a cover 🤣
さいこう！🇯🇵
The whole rap line are constantly rotating on my bias wheel. And Chisa up in there A LOT too.
Howling is yet another immediate download. XG has firmly established themselves as the elite of K-pop ggs imo. And their bag is bigger than just about anyone’s. Their ambition is still the highest and because of it, they seem to have no ceiling.
And personally, when they go rap verse into vocal hook with a vocal bridge, they are THE BEST in the business (until Blackpink returns).and that’s my favorite XG style.
And Even then, XG remains the same
Is this love gives me INOJ - Love You Down Vibes and I’m so here for it
I love when they let Harvey and Jurin sing more🥹
YES! Awe is JURVEY’s Conin Out Party! 🎉💃🏻🤭🎶🦄🦋🦄🦋
XG is that group!!
Period!
Alphaz on Deck!!!❤❤❤
Alphaz squadddddd🫶🏾
🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐦⬛
Bro thanks for reacting XG .. you really enjoy the concert.. 👍👍
You’re welcome! The concert was a vibe!
OMG NOT THE PROMISE RING MENTION!! I can’t tell you how much that song is STILL in my rotation 😭
That reference to MJ with the line " if i turn wolf , it must be a thriller " 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The video is INSANE. But what really pulls mybheart strings is those outfits with the headdress with the 2 little red lines/triangles under the eyes which are a direct reference to Princess Mononoke which is my all time favortie anime movie
aw boi you’re so dedicated to xg🥹 my bias is maya too! and harvey hehehe
I love them frfr!!😭
I'm afraid to listen to the other 2 new songs cos I wanna savour it. Howling is my favourite song already. I would hate to have it overcome by the other 2 in so short a time.
I saw this video about 2 hours ago, just bought tickets go and see them.
This whole song and MV is perfection, absolute masterpiece
They just performed the howling at music bank. You should check it out too. It’s freaking awesome.
SO SPECIAL - I don’t even consider them “The group right now” “in Asia” They are one of the Best Groups Ever Assembled PERIOD! (IMO) 🌟12:59 Yes! I’ve been feelin SWV “Rain Down in Me” since I heard this. “Is this Love” keeps making me get “Shawty Swing it My Way” vibes I dunno why 🤷🏻♀️😅
Definitely have the potential of being one of the best groups ever!
Man this album is so good. Like I'm conflicted if I should cry or get mad about the bsides. In this love brings so much of my childhood vibe. Highschool love. Apparently is was written back in 2019 before they debut. Crazy
Yeah the songs have sooo much nostalgia but in a futuristic twist as well!
In the rain feels like a love letter to SWV's Rain
I went to the LA show in October and legit was left in awe and in tears. These girls are so amazing and so talented!
Im happy for you! I had the time of my life at the Chicago show
ALPHAZ on deck 🐺
🐺🐺🐺
I was looking forward to your reaction this time too! 😊 Simon and XG made great music again. 😭❤️🔥👍 I'm looking forward to your reaction next time too. From alphaz🐺🐺 in Japan🇯🇵
When you said "the game is in trouble" no frfr. That's what the mv showed. Like XG said: they better kneel and pray, cuz they coming for the throne.

Listened the audio version in my car for the first time, it's all good. The music video is passable this time.
imagining the concert all alphaz will be howling in then night 😭 that would be so cooooool
That would be dope! They have to come back to Chicago and perform that!
SWV!!! Damn, you triggered memories of when I first heard “Weak”❤
In the rain had such a swv vibe to it!
XG is a PROBLEM. NO ONE is doing what they’re doing, and every facet is top notch! Maya is my bias too, but I understand it’s hard to pick. I feel like you were speaking my thoughts precisely.
You deserve more followers ! You’re one of the best XG reactors !!!
Maya is a natural. It’s amazing.
Presenting.. Cocona the shadow goddess…necrowomancer.
A real one!!!!!! Showing up to the concert to support!!!
I had to!!! They were everything and more!🫶🏾
They’re the galactic planet restorers
I love how you phrased that!
Wish I could visit Japan 🇯🇵 to see XG and some Anime Shops 🏬
Oh you were in Japan! I'm looking forward to watch your Vlog😊
I don’t think any girl group can top them ! Literally my favorite girl group 👏
True ! They make K-pop mid 😅 no hate
