This song and woke up are their only rap heavy songs the rest are a mixture of R&B, hip hop and pop. I would suggest shooting star, and left right if you continue on your XG journey. Great reaction!
Ahh so they switch up their style from title track to title track. that's cool! Thank you for your recommendations and thank you for watching my reaction ❤️
@@alextralexa Yeah none of XG's songs sound the same. Their 1st 4 songs they ever released were all completely different. Tippy Toes, Mascara, Shooting Star, and Left Right in that order.
@@alextralexaeven the songs in their current album as well have different sound, I very much suggest you to listen to In the Rain and Is This Love to get to hear more of their vocal prowess
I would definitely say IYKYK - If You Know You Know, the MV is definitely this level of complexity and a few others like Something Ain’t Right and Woke Up
Fandom is called ALPHAZ because the leader of a pack of wolves is called the Alpha. Their company is XGALX, formerly called X-GALAXY. They have a Wolves/Alien concept. Something Ain't Right, IYKYK, and Woke Up should be next.
Thank you for letting me know more about XG! I see, so this isn't the first time they appeared as wolves in one of their mvs? That's so cool! I love when groups have an underlying concept they keep and reinterpret with different releases! And thank you for the song recommendations!
To all reactors please turn on English subs because the lyrics and raps have nuances and references which you will miss. XG is very unique as they sprinkle references to anime, music, fashion, design, art, and culture. Having the subs will enhance the experience for both you and your viewers
I totally agree! And usually, I turn on the engl subs, but I forgot this time for the first watch through. 🙈 I'm sorry about that. However, I did notice and turn them on for the second time watching
"Woke Up" the previous single - is rap heavy There are a number of tracks off the current album "Awe" with MVs - "Something Aint Right" and "IYKYK" both are more vocal heavy/pop. The two tracks on the album without MVs are RnB "Is This Love" and "In The Rain"
A new member of the pack is born another Alphaz joins the ranks. First and foremost, in your opening statement about not knowing much about XG but you continued to say that they were a global group and not Kpop... well done for saying the right thing and using some due diligence. Sit and watch all of their documentary series and grab some tissues as you'll need them. XG is a group that will amaze you and give you the deepest rabbithole of information, training, and sheer talent. Listen to the lyrical genuis
I really need to watch the documentary series! I really like those looks behind the scenes and multiple people have recommended them to me now haha so it must be really good
I love XG👽X-POP. a new world that is not found in the K-pop that I dislike !! Since XG👽debuted on March 18/2022, I have always been amazed by XG. and I get goosebumps, ❤🔥🐺 I have been supporting this One-of-a-Kind girls group with such a great sound.❣👾 I hope they will win a Gramm🏆for this Howling.🌟🪐🌗🌠🐺
Well to the XG rabbit hole please enjoy your stay. The effects and visual are in all XG MV. There's a vox series of them (Juria, Chisa and Hinata) the vocalist and xyphers for the rapline (Cocona,Jurin, Maya and Harvey) but if you like this mv I think their new album is my favorite one and I have them all
The QR code works if you do it as the mask transforms to Hinata, it searches "Pig". I don't know if it is intentional but there's Alpha theories behind it already. The rap line are the warriors in this and the Vocal line are the Goddesses.
Oh that's so cool! I really hoped the QR code would actually work! With the attention to detail they showed all throughout the MV I can't imagine the QR leading to "Pig" is coincidence 🤔 I'm curious to what the theories are on this
@@alextralexa Maya, Cocona, Harvey are the hunters (wolves) in relation to the "3 little pigs" a reversal - 3 wolves hunting a pig or in this case wolves hunting/fighting against the distraction of technology/industry (pigs)
@@alextralexa There was another post I saw that I can't find now with another explanation as well I believe from the Princess Mononoke references regarding "pig".
@@alextralexa Also this is from another commentor "The director of this mv is Cho Giseok. He's a popular surrealist artist. He also directed Grl Gvng and Woke Up. He's good at blending surrealism and cultural realism in his work. He and XGALX design and production team used CGI/2D/3D to create this masterpiece. It's not all aesthetics either. XG mvs are multi-layered and multi-dimensional. They used a lot of MJ references so you could say that this is like a tribute to him - Thriller, moonwalk, "dangerous", the Earth Song. There are also pop culture references like Princess Mononoke, Hunger Games, the way Harvey stopped the bullets like in the Matrix, GOT wildings"
Wow thank you so much for finding these theories and interpretations for me to read! It's really fascinating how much different meaning and references they managed to put into this video!
I'm so happy you checked out XG!! They are badass on stage and humble/hilarious off stage. So many different types of songs and everything is so well done.🫡🐺🛸👽✌️ I think the dude at the end was supposed to be flinching because he was about to get got
I heard so many good things about XG, it was about time to properly check out one of their MVs and it's so much fun learning so much about them through the comments!
Great reaction, always happy to see people around the world being blown away by the rising phenomenon that is XG. Also, a few tidbits of info about XG: Credit to the 1 writing this originally (I've added a few things here & there & updated it, pls excuse the inerent grammar & spelling mistakes, English is not my native language): XG is a 7 member group formed by XGALX who's 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. 2017-2021: Pre-debut The group had a training period of 5 years, starting in 2017 until the end of 2021. They have pop/hip-hop/R&B/Edm influences (XG is NOT K-pop or J-pop) and are the first group to debut in the new global entertainment production XGALX (mentioned by Maya in the m/v), which is affiliated with Avex. The group strives to empower young people around the world with their fresh, inventive music and performance. 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. 5. GRL GVNG (MV is short so dance practice or ASL version full song) 6. TGIF 7. New dance (has 2 MVs official and Multiverse version) 8. Puppet Show 9.Hesonoo & X-gene (fire choreo) 10. Winter Without You (The First Take version is a must they sound even better live. 11. Undefeated (collaboration with the video game Valorant: animated MV on Valorant channel, but I would go with the Performance video on XG's channel) 12. Woke Up (full RAP song)) 13. Something ain't Right (full vocal - almost) 14. IYKYK 15. Howling (from their latest mini album :AWE, launched on nov 8th) - the best m/v I've ever seen 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 Move 1-5 is them dancing as group or individually (amazing dancers, each of them showcasing a different style of dance, from hip-hop, R&B, pop, interpretative, tutting etc ) Vox 1-6 is vocals which are covers or remixes of existing songs RAPPING: Tapes 1,2,3a,3b and 4. Tape 4 has 5 videos 4 individual ones and a group one. These are original lyrics over existing beats. The youngest member, Cocona, was 16 at the time went viral for her part on Tape 2 - Galz Xypher & Maya was 17, I think. Besides the official songs and Move, Vox and Tape series there's also a song from Cocona & Maya for the show Street Woman Fighter called "Show you can" - fire Hip-hop. 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 very raw and emotional. XG - in the order of their appearance in the "HOWLING" video, so u can recognize them easier: Cocona 18 years old youngest member Japanese rapper (THE BEAST rapper, who shaved her head during the "WOKE UP" m/v) - dressed as a Diablo's Necromancer😅 - super badass Jurin Japanese 22 years old Leader, rapper, main dancer, vocalist (yup, she does it all), former model and semi professional snowboarder (the Archer, giving Princess Mononoke / Aloy from the game Horizon / Katniss from Hunger Games vibes, who moonwalked) Harvey Japanese-Australian 21 years old main rapper, sub vocalist, also a former model (the 3rd one, dressed like Poison Ivy, with a high pitched, distinct tone, shooting left & right & stopping the bullets like Neo from The Matrix) Maya 18 years old Japanese rapper lead vocalist, the only member who is completely fluent in English (she went to an international English school) - Cocona's childhood friend (the 4th one, the 1 infiltrating the kitchen, with long blonde hair, with the "Thriller" MJ references) Juria Japanese 19 years old main vocalist (the 1st one singing the pre-chorus, the mermaid with fairy wings, floating in the sky, with a dragon as her pet - that's a dope concept 🤣) Hinata 22 years old Japanese Korean sub vocalist, main dancer (the 2nd one singing the pre-chorus,, giving off Goddess Kali vibes, with all those hands around her) Chisa 22 years old oldest member Japanese, main vocalist, sub leader (the 3rd one singing the pre-chorus, also floating in the sky, dressed all in pink, with debris circling around her, shooting in the final scene, the Fat QR code Mastermind). And lastly, but not least, I must certainly have to mention SIMON (JAKOPS), their PRODUCER/MANAGER/TRAINER,/ 2nd DAD, the true mastermind behind their concept & their succes. A former half Korean/half Japanese kpop idol, who , after retiring, had the craziest/flyest idea: to create a Global Girl group like no other & guess what... he succeeded with flying colors. ALL 7 FORMING THE BEST GIRL GROUP ON THE WHOLE PLANET!!!🥰🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🐺🥰
I think a new Alpha has been born, the pack grows and grows.
Maybe 🤭🐺
Everything they do is extraordinary ✨️
This song and woke up are their only rap heavy songs the rest are a mixture of R&B, hip hop and pop. I would suggest shooting star, and left right if you continue on your XG journey. Great reaction!

@@potasticfeii1241 Yes. In The Rain and Is this Love are both vocal heavy songs and yet completely different, both on the same album as Howling.
11:24 Yeah there's a few Princess Mononoke references in there.
Thanks for reacting to Xpop XG ... No other doing like XG... 🔥 🔥 👍🐺👽🐺👽
Thank you for watching my reaction 💕
Let's go, XG!!! Awoooooooooooooooooooo
Yes 👍🏽 XG is an ELITE Xpop Group. SIMON “Jakops” created this Dream Team and this new genre. Thank you for reacting to XG’s newest “HOWLING” MV. 🏹🌱🌺🌒🐺
Aah interesting, thank you for letting me know and thank you for watching my video ❤️
I would definitely say IYKYK - If You Know You Know, the MV is definitely this level of complexity and a few others like Something Ain’t Right and Woke Up
I love all these recommendations! I have a lot of music to check out now haha
Honestly, watch everything since Mascara and Tippy Toes. Those two were not my jam, but everything else is SO good.
Fandom is called ALPHAZ because the leader of a pack of wolves is called the Alpha.
Their company is XGALX, formerly called X-GALAXY.
They have a Wolves/Alien concept.
Something Ain't Right, IYKYK, and Woke Up should be next.
Thank you for letting me know more about XG!
I see, so this isn't the first time they appeared as wolves in one of their mvs? That's so cool! I love when groups have an underlying concept they keep and reinterpret with different releases!
And thank you for the song recommendations!
@@alextralexa No but they really leaned deeper into Wolf part of their concept in Woke Up.
@@alextralexa I might suggest checking out Something Ain't Right or IYKYK and then follow it with Woke Up. You will see what I mean.
Aaaah okay. Then I'll check out these songs in the order you recommended!
Now XG have 2 mini album and thier song always different genre , xg eats all genres of music
From this song alone I figured they must be immensely talented! I'm excited to listen to more of their songs
@@alextralexa XG is a group where the Rappers can Sing, the Singers can Rap, and All of them can Dance like a Main Dancer.
I recommend Iykyk to you, you will absolutely love it.

Like/sub for XG, everything from XG is top tier so you’ll have plenty excellent of materials. More XG please, thank you!
Maybe "Pig" is the evil boss...
you started with Mascara, thats one of my least favorite of their songs, they have so many bangers you are missing out.
I've already received so many recommendations for XG songs, seems like they have quite the good discography.
How come Mascara is your least favorite?
@@alextralexa the rest are way better
