It achieved exactly what it was designed to do to the viewer: wonder why tf it was so short and now you're curious about the rest of the song so you'reoffto spotify to listen to it but the mv is still burned into your head and what the heck was that giant thing and where alien XG is going and when tf is the album coming out cuzyou can't fckng wait anymore. =)) It wasn't meant to give a feeling of finality. It ain't a conclusion, it's an introduction.
@@kb-ih7ni a PERFECT comment !!! This exactly what Simon basically said on his live a few days ago, so good job Simon thanks for the blue balls 😭😭😂 also can’t wait for the album!! Fan theories say it’ll be released July 21, or sometime after their HITC performance in La 😬😬
@@kb-ih7ni I still feel it’s unnecessary, we love XG so they can still put a whole MV and we still want more, full MV will get more impact i feel, this the only time I don’t agree with Simon but oh well gotta trust his intentions
The video makes everyone think it's a short video but still crazy enough to make a 17 minutes frame breakdown video to study on it. XG is absolutely taking the industry to the next level.
I mean it is a short video. It's not the full version (hopefully). Totally ridiculous to make this kind of high budget music video with more shots than they need and then to crop literally half of the song if the full version is never coming out. I watched it once, was amazed by the video but didn't came back because there is no point into watching a music video that doesn't have the full song for me. I hope it will be included later somewhere.
@@renkayt I don't know how it wasn't clear but I'm talking about the music video. How would I know they "cropped half of the song" if I didn't listen to the song before ? I listened to the song before seeing the video like everyone that's how we knew the music video was just the half of it.
Simon, the CEO of XG, became aware that some deaf individuals were following the group. In order to include these fans, he requested the presence of a sign language interpreter to translate the lyrics of the song. Subsequently, he asked the choreographer to create the choreography based on this translation. Later on, Simon made sure that the message was being conveyed clearly and comprehensibly both in the lyrics and the choreography. This initiative demonstrates XG's commitment to promoting inclusion and accessibility for all of their fans, regardless of their hearing abilities.
According to their producer, the video is shorter than the song because they ran out of money. I can totally see why. The visual effects are going crazy in this one.
Yeah Chogiseok, he is a fantastic photographer and directed the “I Wish You Roses” mv by Kali Uchis. If you look at his editorials and post you will see how ethereal, well composed and insane his work is
Fun fact: Simon (their Executive Producer) incorporated sign language into Chisa's choreography for their hearing impaired fans. God, I love XG so damn much
I really like how dedicated XG's team is to including not just Japanese fans, but GLOBAL fans and even fans who need sign language. XG always has multiple languages for their subtitles, and they even got a professional sign language interpreter to make sure their sign language was correct. They show genuine respect for their fans.
Wow, so that's why I noticed that the movement in "...here to play" was similar to "to play" in sign language (I'm from Brazil and the sign "to play/brincar" in the Brazilian Sign Language is almost same of ASL), but I didn't think it was because of that. Thanks for the info!
We need to also mention that it’s a Japanese group with Cyberpunk theme. I love that they incorporated cyberpunk aesthetics to reclaim the Japanese origin of the genre. Their identity is very ambiguous like they sing in English and promote in Korea… but they kinda show their Japanese roots in a subtle but cool ways. Shooting Star was Y2K gyaru culture and now Cyberpunk.
@@moonsigil Cyberpunk does have a Japanese origin, not only does western "cyberpunk" take a lot of aesthetics from east asian culture but Japanese culture also has their OWN cyberpunk, based on underground culture. Think of things like Akira, Ghost in the Shell. In fact, Western cyberpunk is often said to originate (1970s and 80s) from fears of eastern cultures "taking over". Sci-fi works are often said to be based on that era's fear of the future, and western cyberpunk is much the same.
@@marshmelleoh It does not have a Japanese origin and dates earlier than the 70s. 🤦🏻♀️ Just because it has these themes does NOT mean it has Japanese origins. Again: you watch too much anime.
@@moonsigil I'm not the OP, but I've also studied this academically. Go ahead and enjoy being uneducated lol. You also completely ignored the part where I explain that Japan has its own form of cyberpunk.
As a dancer the layering part where the middle member did a different move than the rest actually looks really cool and the slight messiness really adds to the energy and vibe of the choreography and song!!!
This mv was directed by photographer “Cho-Gi Seok” who directed the mv for “I Wish You Roses” by Kali Uchis. His photography and his creative team that works with him on most of his projects, to include this mv, are honestly some of the most ethereal and insane concepts I’ve seen in a while.
Getting a super talented surrealist photographer like him to direct a MV was an ultra big brain move by Simon. All part of the master plan for XG to take over the world.
Cool breakdown. Another thing about the motorcycle shot is that it definitely looks like a callback to the iconic image of Akira, the classic 80s animation movie, and the camera moving backwards somewhat makes it look like the motorcycle is drifting away, like in the actual scene of the movie. The rest of the imagery is also reminiscent of classic japanese animations like Ghost in the Shell or Evangelion.
Actually love the section with the center member doing different choreo. Having the members faces covered by styling + lighting lends a robotic/mechanical feel to the dance (also literally with the ai transition shot of the choreo earlier). So while it draws attention to the center member, i also love the contrast of that organic roll movement there against a more mechanical image. It feels like a combo of organic humanity + ai futuristic tech, which ties in thematically throughout the video and directly with the solo member shots following. Big fan of the photographer/director who worked on this project and of these reactions, I always learn so much!! Thanks for doing them, Jordan!
It's just like that. Ex: one sentence which we can read in 29 seconds But..... it has the meaning which would take u 40 mins to understand. And 3 or 4 months to learnt to use it and understand the feelings
It could be so good if he could say is new standard for production😅this mv was compared with some of boy group stray kids which honestly I don’t know where people can even compare them but anyways 😤
I was waiting for your reaction! 😄The best part of this MV is that the director is a photographer and this is his debut. Simon (CEO, creator, producer, and manager of XG) said they did a short MV because they wanted quality before quantity. And this is a pre-release of the Mini-Album isn't the main song either; it is just a glance of what they can do.
if this is not the main song of XG i couldn't imagine how their main song can be😦this song is such a fucking anthem for girls like me and the girls slayed
I love that you're reviewing/reacting XG's Girl gang because honestly it has so many transitions happening, I watch it at least 3 times the first time to be able to understand or follow everything occuring in this MV. Also thank you for introducing XG(Extraordinary Girls) to your audience, they're Japanese girls primarily promoting in Korea but their songs are mostly in English while some have Korean and Japanese in them as well like their raps etc.
@@Pixure22 they are inactive due to a member not doing what is customarily action of a korean tradition, because she is a Chinese, due to the issue and bash the group has the member did come back to China and did a solo activity. But recently she is back with the group and some of the fans (including me) expect them to comeback soon.
If I remember Maya also did a choreo part differently herself compared to the rest of the members in the Left Right MV, so I think it's a recurring theme and as someone who appreciates choreography, I think it creates emphasis and gives a fresh moment of a mostly 80% synchronized choreo 👍
I've been waiting for this reaction! Thank you, Jordan! Love your ending statement: *GRL GVNG is indeed the new standard production.* _(I just want to say that XG ain't KPOP related. They're just promoting in Korea, aiming to be THE best global girl group.)_
This MV is so crazy, I want to see aespa in MV like that. SM wake up. Aespa deserve more futuristic,cyber, sci-fi comeback and new hyperpop music. XG team are so creative and talented for doing this MV and the girls are so beautiful !!!! Love it so much
every XG members are important because those talented members got everything main vocalist, main dancers, main visuals , all rounders in just one group.
As a choreographer, I really like the part where maya did the choreography different ( the part where you mentioned) but in the first half of the chorus, there’s a part where Jurin does a different part which really bothers me (it’s not in the MV though )
I knew as soon as I saw this video Jordan was going to have a meltdown 😂😂. I’m so glad he made this breakdown so soon. I thought we might have to wait but Jordan came thru for us
I mean I know he does research about the music and mv in these reaction videos, but the way he "thinks" that Chisa's part is a sign language choreography, which it is. Bow down to the genius!!!
my business prof showed us a quote saying something along the lines of 'a successful business is one that can do what is difficult.' though this isn't a business, i think it still applies--you are able to do what is "difficult," something that isn't easy or automatic, but something that takes effort and intent. i can see all the effort that goes into reading up on the story/intent behind all the MVs, and not a thing goes by unnoticed in your videos. I'm constantly amazed by your expertise and attention to detail and i just wanted to take the time to say that i really appreciate that! ur great at what you do n keep up the good work!
As someone who got 2 degrees in animation/v effects. I can agree with this. I love watching his videos. Not only that he has the same sense of humor I do lol
In case you haven’t seen it yet, XG released their BTS on the production for this video. It’s indeed a-m-a-z-i-n-g and hella impressive! Hope you give it a shot! Cheers
You're right that visually the center dancer out of sync a bit makes the total sync look off or sloppy, but it is not a mistake; ALL XG Choreos signature is that the center always has a slightly different choreo movement than the other 6. They have no problem doing it with all 7 bruh, that is just how they roll!
I feel like the last shot was intentional. It's a prerelease for their mini album and with the MV being so short and the last shot being so long it makes you want more. So then, we go to whatever music streaming platform we use to listen to the whole 3-minute song, while also making us anticipate what's coming for their mini album.
tysm for reacting to this Jordan. My first thought after watching the video was "I need Jordan's reaction" so having it finally is a dream come true, lmao. Best 17mins of my life.
I wanna thank Jordan for taking such a short MV and breaking it down FRAME BY FRAME, he does it perfectly and makes appreciate it 100 times more. Especially this MV which is INSAAAAANE now I'm obsessed...might take on video editing now😂
I actually think it was brilliant that they left with the feeling of "aww is it over??" because this isn't the full version of the song. That feeling makes you go stream their song in its entirety
Wow! Your XG vids are all over alphaz communities! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this is how a person with large visual library and actual prod experience would appreciate this less 2-min vid. 🔥
love your reaction!!! So interesting and educative🥰🥰About the choreography, Maya who is center in that part and also the one singing does a slightly different movement there to highlight her. Choreographers often do it to draw the attention to the singer and give them the spotlight and then try to blend it in with the rest of the members choreo as well as possible. I actually really like that part of the choreo and thought it looked really nice and unique but that is subjective I guess😇 At the end of the day XG absolutely slayed as always!!!!
I think its the framing of the shot or how it the shot looked too plain to match the entire music video. When you look at a normal view of that part in the choreography its actually very good, but in the MV it looks boring compared to the rest of the shots in the music video, and I think its the reason it becomes underwhelming.
Been waiting for your reaction to this. Did not disappoint. I honestly feel like you probably could've talked about this video for an hour. And I would've been here for that too. :) XG truly seems to be the future.
YAASSS! I CLICKED ON THIS SO QUICK. I HAVE BEEN DYING FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. AS ALWAYS, YOU DUH BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY! You've reacted to their latest MV. When I first watch XG's music video, I suddenly waited for your new video cuz I know that you'll love this.
This MV is crazy good even tho its not the full song and i think maybe they will release a larger MV for the full version. The choreo is mean to be like that you can notice the center isnt doing the same move like the rest. The end of the MV it does make you wanna have more but i think its just bc this is a short version so you wait for their next MV or content for this comeback
I think the last shot works because the whole video kinda gives the vibe that theyre gathering and preparing for something like some type of sci-fi interplanetary battle and the end scene with a far shot of them together and the beast rising in the back looks like theyre ready and about to go into battle. It makes you invested in seeing what happens next which makes you investing in the uncoming mini album. Its like how a movie will ens in a way that makes you want to come back for the sequal.
I got more context of what the MV is about because of how you broke it down. Your reaction is the best when it comes to breaking down this out of this world MV. Thank you!
I think this had the possibility to be a 30 mins reaction vid 😂 And ngl, when the mv released, I thought of you like I COULDNT WAIT TO SEE YOU REACT TO IT BEC THERES ALOT GOING ON and this def made me happy ❤
The editing of this music video is so good that it actually feels shorter than it already is. Like you said... NEW STANDARD EVERYONE. NEW STANDARD. 💪🏼🐺
15:08 that was actually intentional. they released a dance practice and have performed this song live many times and they do it every single time, it's probably to bring attention to the main member. one thing i've learnt by watching them perform and dance is that every single move is calculated and practised, even in the studio, they take so many recordings until it's basically perfect. one time, while recording shooting star, one member kept messing up the tone like their manager and recording crew were not fully happy so they did many takes and rescheduled to take some more again. xg never makes mistakes.
hahah just learned from you all that XG isn't k-pop. shoutout to them!

You're right that visually the center dancer out of sync a bit makes the total sync look off or sloppy, but it is not a mistake; ALL XG Choreos signature is that the center always has a slightly different choreo movement than the other 6. They have no problem doing it with all 7 bruh, that is just how they roll!
As an artist myself, I was OBSESSED with this music video. So amazing!
I feel like the last shot was intentional. It's a prerelease for their mini album and with the MV being so short and the last shot being so long it makes you want more. So then, we go to whatever music streaming platform we use to listen to the whole 3-minute song, while also making us anticipate what's coming for their mini album.
Creating a new standard isn't a job, but XG has done it
I have been waiting for your reaction since the mv came out🎉🎉
Thank you for the explanation about all things in that MV. I love that! 🔥
商売気質で鬱屈した世界に、人間の最もらしさを追求するようなXGのチームワークが作品に凝縮され、こんなにも多くの人に気持ちのいい風を起こしてくれるのが感じられて本当に好きなんです。彼らを見てるとより良い世界を構築する段階に来たって感じがする。
How poetic
this is what happens when the group and the team work together very well. They deliver visually stunning contents!
I would watch a movie/TV show with this theme, the editing matches the song and beat, and the storyline is so cool
tysm for reacting to this Jordan. My first thought after watching the video was "I need Jordan's reaction" so having it finally is a dream come true, lmao. Best 17mins of my life.
Here we are in the proper reaction for talking about music video editing, thank you Jordan 🔥🔥🔥
I wanna thank Jordan for taking such a short MV and breaking it down FRAME BY FRAME, he does it perfectly and makes appreciate it 100 times more. Especially this MV which is INSAAAAANE now I'm obsessed...might take on video editing now😂
I actually think it was brilliant that they left with the feeling of "aww is it over??" because this isn't the full version of the song. That feeling makes you go stream their song in its entirety
Wow! Your XG vids are all over alphaz communities! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 this is how a person with large visual library and actual prod experience would appreciate this less 2-min vid. 🔥
thank you! i've been waiting for this!!!!
I was PATIENTLY waiting for Jordan to review my girls’ video!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
that AKIRA anime reference in that motorcycle shot is very great to see since that and this MV is giving that cyberpunk look and aesthetic.
I was waiting for you to react to this. Thank you. Love from Japan!
So interesting to watch your reaction and give your perspectives on the mv editing.❤
been waiting for this
The emotion at the end just makes me want more, to see more of xg
love your reaction!!! So interesting and educative🥰🥰About the choreography, Maya who is center in that part and also the one singing does a slightly different movement there to highlight her. Choreographers often do it to draw the attention to the singer and give them the spotlight and then try to blend it in with the rest of the members choreo as well as possible. I actually really like that part of the choreo and thought it looked really nice and unique but that is subjective I guess😇 At the end of the day XG absolutely slayed as always!!!!
I think its the framing of the shot or how it the shot looked too plain to match the entire music video. When you look at a normal view of that part in the choreography its actually very good, but in the MV it looks boring compared to the rest of the shots in the music video, and I think its the reason it becomes underwhelming.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR DAYSSSSS
Been waiting for your reaction to this. Did not disappoint. I honestly feel like you probably could've talked about this video for an hour. And I would've been here for that too. :)
XG truly seems to be the future.
This MV makes me want to freeze every frame and just stare at it for hours.
リアクション動画ありがとうございます！！！
ぶちかましてきてますー💕💕💕
YAASSS! I CLICKED ON THIS SO QUICK. I HAVE BEEN DYING FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. AS ALWAYS, YOU DUH BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤XG we certified🧡
XG真係好撚正! insane!
XG Best Girls Group Ever💜💜💜
FINALLY! You've reacted to their latest MV. When I first watch XG's music video, I suddenly waited for your new video cuz I know that you'll love this.
This MV is crazy good even tho its not the full song and i think maybe they will release a larger MV for the full version. The choreo is mean to be like that you can notice the center isnt doing the same move like the rest. The end of the MV it does make you wanna have more but i think its just bc this is a short version so you wait for their next MV or content for this comeback
I've been waiting for days, thanks jordan
I've been waiting for Jordan's reaction since GRL GVNG was releaseddddd!! WORTH IT!!!!
リアクションありがとうございます！！
chogiesok is the director of this mv, so that's why it's way more than cool. I love XG, and knowing the two of them work together is crazy 🔥
Team XG and Simon have Excellence in all they do. XG DOMINATION! LET'S GET LIT ALPHAZ!!!!
I think the last shot works because the whole video kinda gives the vibe that theyre gathering and preparing for something like some type of sci-fi interplanetary battle and the end scene with a far shot of them together and the beast rising in the back looks like theyre ready and about to go into battle. It makes you invested in seeing what happens next which makes you investing in the uncoming mini album. Its like how a movie will ens in a way that makes you want to come back for the sequal.
3:31 I love that the Akira Homage are reaching here too.
I got more context of what the MV is about because of how you broke it down. Your reaction is the best when it comes to breaking down this out of this world MV. Thank you!
I think this had the possibility to be a 30 mins reaction vid 😂 And ngl, when the mv released, I thought of you like I COULDNT WAIT TO SEE YOU REACT TO IT BEC THERES ALOT GOING ON and this def made me happy ❤
The editing of this music video is so good that it actually feels shorter than it already is. Like you said...
NEW STANDARD EVERYONE. NEW STANDARD. 💪🏼🐺
Told ya, it's an under 2-min vid but there's A LOT to talk about.
Anywayyyy, thanks for sharing ur perspective n knowledge!💞
I love your reactions!!
Loved your analysis! I was waiting for this video!
I've been waiting for yr reaction
I was waiting for your reaction tbh. When I first saw the mv, I instantly though that 'I need Jordan's reaction here '!!!! 😆
15:08 that was actually intentional. they released a dance practice and have performed this song live many times and they do it every single time, it's probably to bring attention to the main member. one thing i've learnt by watching them perform and dance is that every single move is calculated and practised, even in the studio, they take so many recordings until it's basically perfect. one time, while recording shooting star, one member kept messing up the tone like their manager and recording crew were not fully happy so they did many takes and rescheduled to take some more again. xg never makes mistakes.
FINALLYYYY the second this mv came out I immediately went to check if Jordan reacted to it!!
So glad to see you react and break down the editing to this video. I’ve been waiting for it since this song released.
And the new mv of XG is SUPERBB. You need to see that ‘TGIF’ new XG song
