I love how Maya's always looking at the girls whenever she's speaking, it's almost like she's trying to convey what everyone thinks and not just her own inputs.
❤ It is incredibly sweet to see the way they all look to each other when speaking, making sure they are all included in the answers.
u can tell she has really high EQ and IQ
I love all of them ❤❤❤❤
why do they rap like they’re from the Bronx but the majority of them can’t speak English😂
Honestly so proud of Maya, she’s the second youngest in the group yet has taken on the role of a de facto mouthpiece for them and she’s honestly representing them so much better than most of would’ve been able to at 18 years old
for real tho !
Fact
Because she is the member with the best English
Yesss, her confidence and friendliness really stands out. She is a great leader when English needs to be the focus
Because she studied in an international school.
I'm really glad that she noticed and emphasized the bond between the girls because it's a big factor for what makes XG so special.
REAL
So happy you enjoyed ❤
Cringe comment
This isn't all about Maya going to an international school but it's about how confident she is when speaking at her current age :)
Yep I agree....
why do they rap like they’re from the Bronx but the majority of them can’t speak English😂
@dangzitspro they all speak Japanese, Korean and English
Hinata's smile while looking at Maya talking is so precious she must have been happy and proud of her friend speaking like a leader Their freindship is so sweet💙😊💙
I noticed that as well, priceless!!
Hinata has such a cute/pretty/beautiful face that - to me at least - she looks lovely all the time.
She doesn't get many lines, but the few that she DOES sing, she pulls it off flawlessly.
These girls are beyond amazing.
@Batladman I'm waiting for that song where she gets more participation, i know there's that song , 🙏🙏🙏
@@calacas27 Right? It has to happen. We all know she sings beautifully, and she's an incredibly good dancer.
I have my fingers crossed for more lines for Hinata on "Puppet Show".
@@Bannysadkosays2u Yeah she's a great vocalist even though she's third after juria and chisa she rarely gets any line let's just hope she becomes more confident and better in English and vocals
Maya girl. I knew you were fluent in English but to be able to express yourself this well at this young of an age?! KUDOS TO YOU!
The way she beamed with excitement (in one of the Xtra Xtra episodes) and had so many intelligent questions to ask Sienna Lalau (their main choreographer) over Zoom at just age 15.. while the rest of the girls looked like (cute) deers in headlights lol She is wise beyond her years and u can tell she has really high EQ & IQ by the way she speaks
Young age??? Shes 17-18 . Thats the peak of language ability...
@@blacklikethesunnot to compare but being the same age as her it's not always completely easy for myself and my peers to express thoughts and feelings in a professional environment so props to her
@@jk2000jk shes just talking. Shes been speaking english for a long time. It is impressive how fluent she is though. Kpop fans just tend to be amazed and blow out of proportion average or simple things because they see their idols as amazing. Maya isnt a child anymore .
@@blacklikethesun and yet there are 20 something year olds who aren’t as articulate.
Aww Jurin’s raspy lil voice! I can tell they’re tired but Maya shines as their defacto English spokeswoman. She has a big role and handles it beautifully ❤
Yeah I think she might have gotten sick while she was here.
@@ChRisu_Ojisan yeah a lot of people are getting sick right now which is concerning, but hopefully they'll be okay!
@@twinkincarnate yeah I myself just got a cold too.
I just got COVID (confirmed at a hospital) for the first time on the east coast…definitely stay healthy everyone
@@kristieholiday I hope you get better
Being the only fluent English speaker in XG must not be that easy, but I’m proud of Maya for being able to speak for the group so simply yet so eloquently! I’ve come across idol interviews and when they’re asked to talk about their music, their answers can sometimes sound generic or scripted (probably because their agencies feed them specific answers already) but I like that Maya just talked so freely hand casually here.
i wonder why don’t all of them learn English properly so that they can participate in the interview
これが日本語のインタビューだとしても18歳でこんな受け答えができるアイドルはとても少ないと思います。
私よりずっと年下だけど、マヤちゃんを本当に尊敬します。
thank you Brooke and Apple Music for interviewing them, usually idols are asked what’s their favourite food in the country? what do they usually do? and all that stuff that’s on the surface. we appreciate you guys asking them how did they got to contribute and how do they feel like when their creating the songs.. thank you so much 🤌🏻🤌🏻🙇🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
yes!!!!!
普段メンバーといるときのマヤちゃんは子供のように無邪気に明るく はしゃいだりして可愛いらしいけど、英語を話すときは とてもしっかりした頼りのある大人の女性だなと思います。
U can see how Maya gain confidence in handling interviews right now. Someone give her a medal.
Maya is so well spoken and very mature beyond her age. Love her
The way cocona broke down the story line concept of all these pre releases is amazing like watching a movie, ARRIVAL,EVOLUTION AND EXPLORATION, so “puppet show” means that they are here to CONQUER the planet and I’m here for it I don’t mind that all. Let’s go XG take me to your planet ready to be abducted 🛸👽🐺🔥
ive been saying this !! the take ova
THIS!!!! XG is really really extraordinary one!
Cocona with the absolute strait face at the beginning 😂
I really love the way Maya looks at her members while speaking. You can feel the sincerity and appreciation.
Jurin sounded so tired. She's been my favorite from the start and I think all the traveling is taking it's toll on our precious XG girls. Treat them well and don't overwork them Simon!
who is simon? is that their manager?
@@B74Hottiecreator and mastermind behind XG
@@B74Hottiethe one who created this team XG and far ahead of our expectations he gaves us with XG
Think she's sick.

XGALX is labeled under AVEX Japanese Entertainment Corporation.
AVEX CEO Katsumi Kuroiwa who partnered with Simon Jakop
XG producer is Simon Jakop( he is half Japanese and half Korean )
Avex’s CEO, Katsumi Kuroiwa and Simon was chosen from the music industry leaders of the world for inclusion in the list for the first time.
Kuroiwa said: We launched XGALX, a global artist project behind artists like XG, six years ago, in 2017
Kuroiwa and Simon said: The strong impression I got through our activities with them was that they were keeping a close eye on the Japanese and global markets. Leveraging this experience, we launched the XGALX project with the aim of creating global hits. Initially, we were aiming for a 2020 debut, but the COVID pandemic but a halt to any major moves, so the debut ended up being in 2022. We built up even more knowledge in the intervening time, so in the end it turned out for the best.
We have a great respect for K-pop, but what really sets XG apart is their originality and freshness. We built the group together with our partners around the world, taking the best elements from Korea, Japan and the US. The potential of the members, the music production, the video, and the fashion all came together, overlapping and giving birth to XG. We didn’t want to make them a J-pop or K-pop group, but instead create an all-new genre, X-Pop.
Project Manager: Yudai Hasegawa
Creative Content Director: Mashiko Kamatsuzaki
ジュリンさん、喉をいたわって美しい声をまた聴かせてね。身体を大切に💜
I'm so happy XG is getting this exposure and getting well received. Props to them and especially Maya for taking the torch in English interviews. They're all well spoken.
i wonder why don’t all of them learn English properly so that they can participate in the interview
@dangzitspro they are fairly fluent and understand the language but not confident with it in such setups. Besides, they can learn and speak English but they don't have to. That's why interpreters and subtitles exist.
@@ericmwangi9130 there might be a translator but certain messages may not be communicated effectively and certain expressions might not be conveyed due to language barrier. Also, there would not be a sense of closeness between the 2 parties if there is always a translator there.
@dangzitspro then I guess this is high time anyone who wants to directly understand them learnt Japanese.
@@ericmwangi9130 of course there are many people who put in the time and effort to be fluent in Japanese. But as I’ve mentioned, you can see that they’re trying hard to expand into the global market. It only makes sense for them to master English since it is the lingua franca of the world.
Language plays a huge part in breaking into any market in the world. Imagine wanting to break into kpop but not speaking Korean. Speaking a language that is familiar will make the audience feel closer to them. Name me another internationally famous and successful artistes/group that doesn’t know how to speak English.
Mark my words, they’re gonna be big one day
And we’re here witnessing them grow 💫
Big Like
Yes!! Of course his future is so brilliant ❤❤❤❤
I feel like they won't be able to go past the limited reach of international k-pop stans. They have a very small fanbase in Korea, an even smaller one in Japan, and they don't have enough international reach to really break ground for mainstream success.
@@mitch.ricooowe'll definitely be able to witness that for sure you'll see too
Can we take a second to do some simple math? If they were training for 5-6 years, then these ladies were starting this whole thing when they were 12-17 year old girls. And it seems they haven’t stopped. They deserve the success, it must feel so unreal with all this payoff! Keep climbing, girls!
Yeah, in their documentary Cocona and Maya were both 11 when they joined as trainees and I think there was another trainee that was like 10.
The Xtra Xtra documentary on their RUclips channel show their audition intros with their ages (11-15).
@@pure_viiyikes 😬
圧倒的なコンセプトと圧倒的な実力の両方を兼ね備えているからこそのこの説得力。
Love that the interviewer mentioned how XG is very much a girl-empowerment girl group. You definitely hear it in their lyrics and it's not always about being in love with someone, but rather loving yourself
这是我第一次喜欢的唯一一个女团！
Is it weird that I like when they only speak in their native languages in interviews? Makes them more mysterious lol. Plus they can express themselves more. Instead of questions like what’s you’re favorite animal. Great interview
I like it better too! That way they can express themselves more vibrantly. You can tell by their answers in Japanese they are very passionate in what they are creating.
perhaps but english interviews will help them become more fluent so they can express themselves fully in english too
I know that Jurin is the leader of XG, but I feel that Maya is more of a Global Ambassador of the group bec of her fluent English skills! To me personally, all seven of the girls are GPop ambassadors, bec they are so brilliant, flawless and perfect all-rounders 🤩😍❤️
Face of the Group it used to be a actual posistion
2:08 JURIAちゃんが皆より遅れてレッスンに参加したのは初耳です
どこかで言ってましたっけ？
そしてこういうインタビューの時にいつもMAYAちゃんの頼もしさを感じます
英語ができるという事だけでなくトーク力がある…頭がいいなといつも感心して尊敬します
XG received JAPAN music MTV award 2022. Including being in JAPAN FORBES magazine, Japan Spotify and HMV. Amazing!!
Maya is really intelligent and articulate
Maya-chan you are so amazing.
ちさちゃん最初ミニオンの格好してるのかと思ったかわいい🎉❤
みんなそれぞれの衣装似合っててすてき🫶
COCONA from XG is the queen in rap, dance, visuals, and fashion! Plus, she's a genius in singing!
XGメンバーが笑顔で自分達の素敵な考えや夢、1stミニアルバムの素晴らしさについて話している姿、朝から観れて幸せです!!
温かいインタビューでXGのたくさんの魅力を世界に伝えて下さりApple Musicさんには感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです!!!
They are the best group ever ❤
I think so,too
I love this interview. They gave everyone a chance to speak. I know Hinata, Harvey and Cocona are usually so quiet and shy and I am so happy they all had a chance to talk.
マヤってほんとに賢い子！🥹
The chemistry they have is what I appreciate the most. Also, how they are all their own individuals with their own unique set of styles and strengths yet equally great at what they do! I never thought I'd be such a fan to an international pop group. I just got me a custom XG shirt since I love them as a group so much I can't wait to see how big they will be. This is coming from a male fan!!
XG! El mejor grupo de chicas hoy por hoy. Tienen mucho futuro en la industria. Sigan sorprendiéndonos!!
Estoy de acuerdo
Jurin having raspy voice just proves that they sing live. Or may because she's assigned the shouts in New Dance.
Apple Music様、“Up Next”にXGを選んでくださりありがとうございました！
おめでとうXG！
先にApple Musicのラジオでこのインタビューを聴いていましたが、私は英語のヒアリングが不得意です。
なので、こんなに暖かい言葉で歓迎してくださったことを、RUclipsの翻訳機能を通して知りました！
素晴らしいインタビューを本当にありがとうございました😢✨
XG is so talented and always releasing bangers!
Maya is so young, but she’s so well spoken & articulate.
Apple Musicさん、ありがとうございます🎉
XGちゃんたち、そしてXGちゃんたちの音楽の素晴らしさは、必ずやもっと世界中に広がり、笑顔が繋がり膨らんでいくものと思ってます💫
LAでは気候や環境の違い、初めての経験、大きすぎる仕事の数々をこなし、大変お疲れ様でした！どんな時もベストを尽くし一生懸命な彼女達を誇りに思います！
これからも彼女達は成長し続けていくでしょう❤
I feel like XG's sound besides the whole technical side of it which is that it sounds fresh, innovative, R&b, techno, pop and all that. I think XG's sound is warm, welcoming and is a girl's girl kind of sound. Of course, it's not just for the girls - it's for everybody to enjoy. But it's in a way where you get a sense of "you're welcome here. in any way you would like to represent/present yourself". It's that supportive music from a bunch of girls that clearly exudes confidence but most importantly, individuality, acceptance and sisterhood. I think that is what separates them from a bunch of groups, up and coming or not. They don't look high and mighty. They look like a bunch of girl you would want to just hangout with and form this sisterhood with. They look humble and accepting and it resonates with the fans. That's why in a short amount of time, they have build this fanbase that is diverse and exudes that supportive aura.
Maya, you are amazing!!❤❤Nice to see Cocona and Harvey talk a bit more than usual.
Thanks for having interview with XG. Really enjoy it!
So glaaad Hinata finally spoke 💕, the last video apple uploaded she didn't say anything. Can't wait till she comes out of her🐢!
XG are a force of nature. Watch the XG documentaries to understand why. The obstacles and hardships their team have endured are kind of mind-boggling. How the girls survived their training is beyond me, but that is the system in JP/Kor.. New Dance is such a fun track :-) They deserve success and they come from another galaxy!
This is such an amazing interview.. They are just amazing girls. ✨️🥺 Thank You XG for existing. You deserve all of the growth and the world..
i know we love talking about MAya being our global ambassador whenever she looks at each girl she is conveying about, but the girls themselve handled the questions very well to and gave amazing answers. You could see their character shining through and affirming each other making sure each one had their time to share.
cocona just concentrating while the host speaks is so charming
XG is a wonderful and talented group. I hope you get support and fame 🐺
What makes them extra special is the connection they have for each other and how they can connect with their fans worldwide by singing english songs. It's unconventional. Datz wazzup!!!
Gratitude apple music for the opportunity on ur platform. I must say XG deserves this and will launch this opportunity into another stratosphere of their trajectory. Alphaz let us show applemusic how are fanbase is strong behind them. Dont forget to LIKE the video as ur watching and interact when able.
她们真的很真诚
This interview is so refreshing although i love the usual questions like “whats your favorite food?” And such, I’m glad Brooke asked creative questions and about their music and influences. Love it!
I try my best ❤
@@Breese07 you ate that
I love how they acknowledged the black women who have inspired their journey and creativity, I’m really just trying to highlight how much they clearly appreciate the cultures they are inspired by!!
XGの皆んなの素敵な所が、沢山の人に伝わると思うと、本当に嬉しい！！！
JURIN様、声枯れてる！？健康第一です🔥
でも、みんな揃ってこの大舞台に立ててよかった❤
じゅりんちゃん喉枯れてる⁉︎
スケジュールびっちりで大変だと思うけど頑張ってね🥺応援してます‼︎
The fact that they’re at the Apple Music studio is so dope ! So happy for them. ❤❤❤
Love you maya! And XG, maya is doing a great job being kind of like the main spokesperson!
i’ve recently started stanning xg and i absolutely love their music. there’s something so special about all their voices and their songs especially new dance and shooting star omg
they’re not called Xtrodinary Girls for nothing ❤
Hesono-o, XG😍
So proud of all of them, they have come such a long way and are organically growing more and more getting the recognition they deserve ! So much talent 🔥🐺
It's like some people forgot what organic growth looks like. They are averaging 3.3K RUclips subscribers a day.
@@chrislambert9903 I do dislike how many people within the kpop fandom who obviously are just haters compare them to other newer groups and how others have grown faster then them which I find very silly. What makes XG special is their not relying on others or anything besides their own label and team to take them far, and so far we are seeing such humble beginnings and growth that is actually earned and through hard work and dedication. That’s why I admire this group so much - they give underdog vibes
Maya's English is smooth like butter.
i wonder why don’t all of them learn English properly so that they can participate in the interview
@@dangzitspro English isn't easy to learn, especially for Asians. It's a lot easier for people in other regions. Some Europeans, for instance, can learn English in a matter of months. What I know about XG is that while most members aren't fluent English speakers, they all can understand English without any difficulties.
@@GoodOldCinema Not true. That’s just an excuse for not putting in the effort to master something. You can see countries like the Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore etc are all very fluent in English. Even ITZY is more fluent than them in English and they’re all Korean. Only Lia came from abroad but all of them are almost fluent in English. That’s because they put in the effort to learn the language.
@@dangzitspro Lia went to international school. That's how she learned English. She also lived in Canada for a short time.
Out of the remaining members, only Ryujin is close to being fluent. The English level of Yuna, Yeji and Chaeryeong isn't much better than the XG members.
Your assumption is that XG members, Maya aside, don't speak English at all. Look it up and you'll find interviews of them speaking basic English.
If K-Pop idols are anything to go by, learning English clearly isn't' easy for Korean or Japanese people.
@@GoodOldCinema it isn’t easy but it is not impossible. With hardwork and proper education, they can be as fluent in English like Ryujin, BTS RM, Babymonster Ahyeon etc. Being Korean or Japanese isn’t an excuse for not putting in hardwork to learn.
If you haven’t watched their Documentary Series “Xtra Xtra” as an Alphazz watching the journey is heartbreaking ❤️🩹, amazing 🥲 and sincerely transparent. I feel I became a stronger advocate of Xpop this new Global Girl Group and what they are creating. Love 💗 XG 🎉. 🙋🏻♀️🐺
Maya I'm so proud of you ❤
This is the most nice and genuine interview.The questions are about their work and they don't make them play games just in interviews.❤❤
Thank you Apple Music for interviewing XG! Great set of questions asked and answered!
@@Mxhxajx Not sure what video but I did go to HITC NYC & HITC LA just to see XG & it was sooooo worth it!!
他の動画みてジュリンちゃん声枯れてるなと思ってたけどやっぱり体調悪かったのかなぁ💦韓国入国時の空港動画でもメンバーみんな少し疲れが見えたからゆっくり休めたらいいなぁ！Apple Musicさん🍎🎶インタビューありがとうございました✨
Hey guys,they keep releasing songs without rest, singing and dancing perfectly. Please don't hunt them down if they can't speak English. Of course they are learning English conversation, but they also need rest. Please wait patiently for their improvement in English conversation.
Maya proud of you 👍
This was a great interview! I definitely expected Maya to talk the most but glad the other girls were able to speak freely in Japanese. I really can’t wait to see them continue to grow and gain so many new fans ❤
ヒナタは天然なので、ヘッドフォンが逆でも気にしません
I'm so proud of my girls😭 I've been with them almost since the start and I'm just so happy to see how step by step they take every platform, every stage and every city from all over the world. They all are so easily to love so I just hope they get all the recognizition they deserve 🥺
I felt like crying.. I am so proud of my girls. They come so far!
Delightful interview of our XG ladies with Brooke Reese! Happy to hear all of the ladies responses and see them shine.
Happy you enjoyed, it’s all for the fans 🩷
Some comment so annoying..
When kpop idol speak or answer in Korean where the host speak English, there's no complain about it..
When XG answer in two languange English and Japanese suddenly they complaining that some XG member should learn English..
Like wtf 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Yes
Most of them are the haters usually you can ignore them
I think they’re secretly racist or something like 😭 or they think Koreans are superior
there are always judgmental armchair commenters online who dont know what an ounce of hard work is. some of the comments are ridiculous, acting as if learning a whole other language is some easy peasy task
They're haters for sure girl, and they say whatever they want in this way😂 just because they all aren't fluent in English it doesn't mean that they can't reach to success✨
Awesome interview with XG. Each were able to talk and share. Maya is such a great XG spokesperson for the group as her English is so fluent. And each interview you can see she is getting better at answering their questions!
Juria love you 🥰
La voz con ronquera de Jurin posiblemente haya hecho enamorarme más de ella😍
Ya debe estar recuperada igual💪
You know, some people mistakenly think that because they only sing in English, it means that they all are fluent in English, but this is somewhat wrong... as one of the youngest members of the group, Maya, she can easily and very skilfully speak English, Harvey also can, because she is biracial, but maybe because of her shyness and maybe because she came back to Japan since she was a child, she doesn't have that much command as Maya... But whatever these girls are, they all amazing and I'm the biggest fan of them! and thank for Apple Music. Because of this fun interview!
ひーちゃん可愛いすぎるんだが😊
My 5 year old daughter is absolutely in love with XG. Cocona popped up on my RUclips, and I was blown away. So I did a deep dive into her and found out about XG. My daughter loves Cocona, Harvey, Hinata, and Juria. This has been a great way for me to teach her about different cultures. Over the past several months we have to go to Japanese and Chinese restaurants so she can try new food! Lately, it has been Thai food. These ladies will make a massive imprint on the music world. I'm taking my daughter to their concert in New Year later this year as a surprise.
The trajectory of their career...
NOT STOPPING ANYTIME SOON!!!
TOO HIGH!! UP!! TO GIVE A... WHAT!!! 🐺🙌🏼
Level so high gonna need that ladder 🪜 🚀 💫
Jurin is always super swaggy in XG music vids but sooo adorable when shyly speaking Japanese!
I love XG~ They are so talented !
so glad i discovered XG when i did they have become one of the very few groups/artists that I love almost every single release and follow them and their activities. cant wait to one day see them in person
XG the best Japanese girl group!! Making Japan super proud!! 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵💗💗💗💗🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
XG FOREVER!
Jurin~Cocona~Chisa~Juria~Maya~Harvey~Hinata~
XG~❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤍
今年はXGにとって特に大切な年ってことが活動一つ一つから伝わってきます！
今後も更に"XG色"の濃い活動をどんどんしていって欲しいなと思います！
XGが世界で活躍し続ける最強のグループだと信じています😖💗
Maya English is so fluent !!
This was a really good interview, the questions were insightful and the girls did such a good job answering them. No awkward moments, just straight from the heart on both sides.
All the girls can speak English but Maya really gives her all to speak with confidence and best represent XG. If the other six spoke more they would connect quicker globally
Love from Mozambique 🇲🇿 XG is legendary 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
maya reminds me sm of rosie from blackpink, so mature for her age and im just incredibly proud of our xg girls
XG really has huge potential to be a big thing in music industry!
I really love how the interviewer interact with the members. THANK YOU FOR THIS APPLE MUSIC.
My simple American brain is trying to reconcile how hard they go in their raps versus the kind, clean, and sophisticated Japanese personalities they all have.
Maya representing the group talking in English it's just chef kiss
I love love love these ladies so much, their each individual personalities truly just compliment just how great they vibe and are as a group...I do love Maya so much and the fact she taken more of the spokeswoman for the group makes me so happy, again individually they are truly truly talented in way more ways than we know, but the group ❤️❤❤❤!!

THEY DESERVE THE WORLD
