I like how at the end of music video it goes right back to Jurin at the beginning of the video since her power is time manipulation which means that all of the events of the video will play again, meaning you would have to replay the video and the song over and over. I see what you did there XG 😉
Here's what I think their powers are: Jurin - Future vision (she sees this mv as the future, as she is shown at the start and in the end), she also predicted Juria's teleportation entrance Chisa - Superspeed to clap on em haters all over the internet Hinata - Sizeshifter/Size self-enhancement Juria - Teleportation Cocona - Mind Reading Maya - Mind Control (a lot of people follows her) Harvey - Invisibility (this one is hard to claim, but im just imagining that she's stealing while invisible and maya caught her, so she controlled her to stop, and then juria teleported them to chisa) Meow
If we go by the start of the video as telling us their powers and then the following scenes Harvey has telekinesis cuz that basket was floating at head level and the way things flopped in the basket, and Coco had things float around her and when she looked at the guy he floated up, so even though it’s similar to Harvey it seems like gravity control because it’s not as in depth as Harvey who can move things
In that shot where people walked in front of Maya were actually the office workers in which office she invaded.. as she manipulated them to be in in a circle formation around her which can be seen in the next shot that all the people surrounding her are office workers rather than being the people who were already following her and walking behind her.. she collecting people on the go, not necessarily only sticking to a set amount of followers
I also wanted to point out the flow of continuity with following shots, the bit with Juria in the car that bothers Jordan slightly, I understand thinking it wasn’t planned or directed well since she stopped the car in front of Jurin and then she looks surprised but she’s still looking forward and acting like she’s driving….that’s coz she was, in the following shot the car zips through full speed to the next shot. So in a way, we’ve totally skipped any acknowledgment of the car stopping or the implication that Jurin got in, in fact it may have made more sense or bothered Jordan far less if they didn’t include the scene of the car stopping altogether. But in the shot directly after that where she’s getting pulled back like the car is taking off super fast and she’s looking surprised and straight ahead, that’s exactly what’s happening and the following shot of the car ripping through shows that and I guess Jordan missed that.
I also have NOTICED something in JURIN's eyes LEFT Eye at the beginning, it was like (-) 2:21 this and then at some part (/) 6:14 which means time has consumed, and at the last part it was perfectly vertical (|) 19:18 which means it was like a clock of a microwave which means the video has finally come to a close! How Brilliant!!! ❤
They used the same set that was used to film "Alice in Borderland". A massive open set was built in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture for the Alice in Borderland. This is where XG filmed the video. That's what I was told.
Juria’s car Skrrt in front of Jurin is a reference to their recent Woke Up MV, where Jurin says “catch me in Tokyo rapping in a Skrrt if you catch my drift though… “ reference to Tokyo Drift because the scene in this video is the famous Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo.
Part of the shooting star lyrics is "you are rocking with the dream team... comets dropping when we hit the scene." So the comets falling are most likely a reference to that.
I think the Juria’s car scene to me made sense. Her surprise face was to the warp she did after that. Her surprise face was not to her almost hitting Jurin.
I loved the long dancing bit! The dance is so interesting bc it’s awkward in part bc they are supposed to be aliens and the song is about something not being right, just like their movements. I miss a lot of the dance bc of the videos and that’s why they do dance performance videos separately to show the whole choreo. This was such a fun video and you explained it so well! I never would have understood it all
Your point about some MVs covering the dance steps by different cuts, their dance is honestly one of the best parts. Because they can dance and the choreography is great. No need to hide anything which is great!
when the creative team of xg seeing this, you know they will be make more stupidly crazy good video, because they see the reaction, they learning, thanks for review man! gonna make next video more good for xg
18:05 he is right about this!! In the behind the scenes you can see a cameraman holding his cam and filming them just like he just said. I'm amazed you could pick that up !!
Yaaay! I was waiting for this notification 🙆♀️ I just love how his explanations not only make me appreciate the MV even more but also to enderstand it better, I hadn't even noticed they had super powers before 🥹 Thumbs up Jordan, you're cute tho 😹✨️
That is my favorite song of XG for the 2024. It is very iconic and I always listen everyday because it is very interesting song about Something Ain't Right even no matter what.
The last time I've genuinely enjoyed a good "outer space futuristic" type concept was probably Blaque's music video, 'I do' or Katy Perry in her wierd but enchanting freaky alien ET era or Doja Cat in her whole freaky cool alien outer space galactic era. This song is STUNNING and I'm really digging the Aliens with superpowers concept! The quality MV production is on another level! Also love that the stylists aren't afraid to go crazy glam with funky hair, nails, outfits and makeup!
You mention a new XG MV in your Stray Kids reaction video, and I'm here. Clearly he knows his audience. 😂 Love XG. Love the editor perspective. Always amazing.
I am always amazed what details u notice and how polite, respectful and professional u criticize. I fully understood every point. You explained it and it made sense. I really learnt a lot. And u love that u dont blindly love everything. Loved this reaction:)
At 7:56 I assumed Juria was reacting to Jurins time speed thingy not her pulling up beside her cuz when she does her surprised face you can see the background moving fast behind her which was different to the background when she teleported in
thank u for reacting to this!!! i cant stop watching the mv its soooo good the song is stuck in my head (also would love to see you react to Loop by Yves)
They are really digging the alien concept and i love it because its unique bizarre and funky outfit and the out of this world vibe. Xg trully in a league of their own.
damn, So glad I actually stumbled upon you. Love your stuff. I have always loved editing as a hobby, I mean nothing serious at all just projects for me and photography and stuff also. But I think what got me in to really loving editing is I went to a Visual and Performing arts program at Booker High School in Sarasota FL when I was a young teen and worked in their visual department with editing school made music videos and al that stuff. It was actually sponsored by NBC at the time so we had top notch professional equipment. Our studio cameras that we filmed our school shows and morning news and other projects were high end Sony and Ikegami. I do not remember what the stuff was was on but it was def not VHS it was a larger tape but for the life of me can not remember. Anyway from that moment on in that program I knew I wanted to edit lol. Anyway Love your breakdowns of the videos.!!! Keep up the fantastic work.,
XG stands out as a unique Japanese global group, carving their own path as XPOP-distinct from both K-pop and J-pop. With their stylish looks and fearless approach to doing things differently, they bring a fresh and bold perspective to the music scene.
I wonder if Harvey doing that transition where she pulls down the screen is part of her power. she also had that transition with the paper crinkle-type effect
XG came to break the stereotypes of K-POP female groups, both with the beats, raps, costumes, body language, dance and lyrics. It has a certain air of 90's groups which makes it attractive for both adults and children.
I love how the songwriting and the video direction compliments each other. At 15:07 when there's a camera cut of the asteroids/comets coming down from the sky, Cocona is readjusting the camera as if she's trying to say "hey look over here, don't pay attention to that." At that same point, the lyric "what you trying to hide?" plays. Like that's fucking genius.
I was soo waiting for you to react to this song ❤ I don't know, il feel like I appreciate the song more after under standing the edition work done behind it. ❤❤
i think at the beginning where they were stepping in front of her, the mind controlled people were going to formation because the next scene is them being backup dancers
16:29 as a comic nerd, I definitely needed to take a moment when Hinata was shrinking down and the after image outlines show as she gets smaller -this is exactly what ant man’s shrinking looks like in the comics, and is a detail included in the movies with an man as well. Great reference honestly
you commenting the MV really confirmed what they saying.. 'something ain't right'.. 😂 before this they just come and enjoying earth.. now they going to spread their influence to others.. 😂
I think the part where Juria gets surprised in the car was because time sped up and her car accelerated faster than expected rather than surprise in almost hitting Jurin who controls time.
The editor is like "I love this music video but something ain't right" which I think is actually the intention of the music video. You have Cocona who hints to have telekinetic powers when the guy takes her picture without her permission and later he floats up to block the elevator camera when she steps out of the elevator but then later on we see Harvey fill a shopping cart with her mind and seems to be the one with telekinetic powers instead of Cocona You have Juria teleport at the start but later she uses a portal several times to teleport and when she's with Harvey, Maya and Chisa, it's Harvey that teleports them and has them in different clothes instantly as well You have Maya looking like she has mind control powers at the start and in the office but then later in the store it seems she's also a zombie walking with her head tilted but when she sees Harvey she starts to walk normally while the rest behind her still seem to be zombies when her, Harvey and Juria go through the portal to go to Chisa You have Chisa who clearly has superspeed when she's typing in the office but she uses it only once in the music video which is odd. Especially when you look at the start of the video and it seems someone freezed her and she has red eyes like Jurin for a second but when she was using her superspeed her eyes for a second are a different color and it's not red You have Jurin who seems to be able to manipulate time but at the end of the video it seems like she can can only go back in time. You have Hinata who has the ability to shrink and get bigger but when she dances she seems to be surprised that she shrunk all of a sudden and is running to the other size not to get crushed by giant feet and suddenly is her normal size again when she's safe and at the other side Then you go back to the start of the video again with all that info where it seems Harvey is dead due to the fact she's levitating mid air and the rest of them seem to be controlled by someone. Which makes your brain go "Something ain't right" and is a nice easter egg to people like myself who watched the music video a bunch of times and still needs to be reminded that there's more than meets the eye with XG
waiting for Jordan's reaction after every XG comeback is a ritual at this point
LOL YES🤣
Its an alphaz thing to get a cinematographer’s perspective to help us understand the creative choices of the creative team.
Watching Jordan videos is part of the kpop experience (don't come at me, saying XG is not kpop, I know that, however they are part of that industry)
TRUE😂
Same !
The dancing is also the best part of this MV. These girls don't have to hide anything because they can actually dance. XG is the best.
This is their group name for a reason 😎👑
I like how at the end of music video it goes right back to Jurin at the beginning of the video since her power is time manipulation which means that all of the events of the video will play again, meaning you would have to replay the video and the song over and over. I see what you did there XG 😉
😮😮😮
Omg you're so right!!!
Right, they did that kind of stuff already in the individual Tape #4s.
Agree
“XG please can i have tickets to their concerts” 😂❤
Jordan was so valid when he said that 😭😂
Here's what I think their powers are:
Jurin - Future vision (she sees this mv as the future, as she is shown at the start and in the end), she also predicted Juria's teleportation entrance
Chisa - Superspeed to clap on em haters all over the internet
Hinata - Sizeshifter/Size self-enhancement
Juria - Teleportation
Cocona - Mind Reading
Maya - Mind Control (a lot of people follows her)
Harvey - Invisibility (this one is hard to claim, but im just imagining that she's stealing while invisible and maya caught her, so she controlled her to stop, and then juria teleported them to chisa)
Meow
I think Harvey’s power is telekinesis (moving things with her mind)
And Jurin’s power is stopping time? Because at the first scene nobody moves
If we go by the start of the video as telling us their powers and then the following scenes Harvey has telekinesis cuz that basket was floating at head level and the way things flopped in the basket, and Coco had things float around her and when she looked at the guy he floated up, so even though it’s similar to Harvey it seems like gravity control because it’s not as in depth as Harvey who can move things
My interpretation
Jurin - Time Manip
(super speed, accelerate, freeze)
Chisa - Technology Manip (she's on computer?)
Hinata - Size Manip (Tiny and Gigantic Hinata)
Juria - Space Manip (Teleport)
Cocona - Molecular Manip (Inflate a dude who records her?)
Maya - Mental Manip (mind control)
Harvey - Gravity Manip (Flight and Telekinesis)
Chisa said in her blog that her's is "Mind" i.e. powers that allow her to process and memorize all the information at once
In that shot where people walked in front of Maya were actually the office workers in which office she invaded.. as she manipulated them to be in in a circle formation around her which can be seen in the next shot that all the people surrounding her are office workers rather than being the people who were already following her and walking behind her.. she collecting people on the go, not necessarily only sticking to a set amount of followers
I was going to say the same thing because of the following shot.
@@mahaloppa9616 me too!!!!
I also wanted to point out the flow of continuity with following shots, the bit with Juria in the car that bothers Jordan slightly, I understand thinking it wasn’t planned or directed well since she stopped the car in front of Jurin and then she looks surprised but she’s still looking forward and acting like she’s driving….that’s coz she was, in the following shot the car zips through full speed to the next shot. So in a way, we’ve totally skipped any acknowledgment of the car stopping or the implication that Jurin got in, in fact it may have made more sense or bothered Jordan far less if they didn’t include the scene of the car stopping altogether. But in the shot directly after that where she’s getting pulled back like the car is taking off super fast and she’s looking surprised and straight ahead, that’s exactly what’s happening and the following shot of the car ripping through shows that and I guess Jordan missed that.
I also have NOTICED something in JURIN's eyes LEFT Eye at the beginning, it was like (-) 2:21 this and then at some part (/) 6:14 which means time has consumed, and at the last part it was perfectly vertical (|) 19:18 which means it was like a clock of a microwave which means the video has finally come to a close! How Brilliant!!! ❤
They used the same set that was used to film "Alice in Borderland". A massive open set was built in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture for the Alice in Borderland. This is where XG filmed the video. That's what I was told.
XG ALWAYS ATEEEEEE
XGのMV解説、毎回めっちゃ楽しみにしてます❤️
Juria’s car Skrrt in front of Jurin is a reference to their recent Woke Up MV, where Jurin says “catch me in Tokyo rapping in a Skrrt if you catch my drift though… “ reference to Tokyo Drift because the scene in this video is the famous Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo.
Layers.
相変わらず解説が分かりやすい❤ そして最後に踊っちゃう気持ちもよく分かります😆
Harvey's ability might be like Uraraka from My Hero Academia. So not only can she float but she also makes whatever she touches float too.
I knew jordan was going to be in shock with this mv ❤😂
Fun fact: the city set is the same used in the show Alice in Borderland
OMG I KNEW IT LOOKED FAMILIAR
Oh wow, I actually said the city set reminded me of Alice in Borderland, and won't be surprised if they shot the MV there as well.
Nobody heard ever of Tokyo Shibuya?
@@loredell ever heard of nobody asked clown
Isn’t it just a part of Tokyo tho?
every time XG releases something after watching the video I just go straight to this channel. It's a routine now, it needs to be done!!!!
12:44
well that's kinda the point of the mv, 'something ain't right'
Exactly ❤
XG’s vocal are really good their rap is even better XG is really the perfect group
Your professionalism is just refreshing in the whole "reaction" type of videos. Loved it and love your sense of humour tho lol
“It’s almost there, but not quite clear”
…So you mean…something ain’t right
Part of the shooting star lyrics is "you are rocking with the dream team... comets dropping when we hit the scene." So the comets falling are most likely a reference to that.
I think the Juria’s car scene to me made sense. Her surprise face was to the warp she did after that. Her surprise face was not to her almost hitting Jurin.
i was thinking of commenting that and then i realized that you had said it 😭
Yeah I was about to say the same lol bc the background is speeding up so I think she was surprised by the fast car lol not almost hitting Jurin
but jurin wasn't in the car when juria gasped
@@mehlanie13 she was warping from her destination to where Jurin was located
I loved the long dancing bit! The dance is so interesting bc it’s awkward in part bc they are supposed to be aliens and the song is about something not being right, just like their movements.
I miss a lot of the dance bc of the videos and that’s why they do dance performance videos separately to show the whole choreo. This was such a fun video and you explained it so well! I never would have understood it all
Summer banger! Impossible not to dance! XG on top! XG outta this world! 🔥🔥🐺🔥🔥
thank you for the video!! I really love XG's music, girls are amazing
As an alphaz and cinematographer i highly appreciate this breakdown!!!
Of course they’re combining powers, these girls are all aces! They can excel in any position, being rap, singing or dancing ❤
Your point about some MVs covering the dance steps by different cuts, their dance is honestly one of the best parts. Because they can dance and the choreography is great. No need to hide anything which is great!
when the creative team of xg seeing this, you know they will be make more stupidly crazy good video, because they see the reaction, they learning, thanks for review man! gonna make next video more good for xg
Hey Jordan...You are a Role model...Just because of you, I learned so much about editing a video...😘
18:05 he is right about this!! In the behind the scenes you can see a cameraman holding his cam and filming them just like he just said. I'm amazed you could pick that up !!
Yaaay! I was waiting for this notification 🙆♀️ I just love how his explanations not only make me appreciate the MV even more but also to enderstand it better, I hadn't even noticed they had super powers before 🥹 Thumbs up Jordan, you're cute tho 😹✨️
Loved the analysis, thanks for the video!
absolutely best reaction/commentary on this video. editor's perspective makes such a huge difference well done
your hair looks fine, i know im in for another great video!
Thank you for the "Elevator Man" analysis! You're the only one who discussed it as being force-choked that I've seen so far
That is my favorite song of XG for the 2024. It is very iconic and I always listen everyday because it is very interesting song about Something Ain't Right even no matter what.
I've watched xg's mv multiple times but your explanation got me like 'jeez I didn't even notice it'
The last time I've genuinely enjoyed a good "outer space futuristic" type concept was probably Blaque's music video, 'I do' or Katy Perry in her wierd but enchanting freaky alien ET era or Doja Cat in her whole freaky cool alien outer space galactic era.

BOTH ATE❤
thank you so much jordan for reacting to this!!!
I am always amazed what details u notice and how polite, respectful and professional u criticize. I fully understood every point. You explained it and it made sense. I really learnt a lot. And u love that u dont blindly love everything. Loved this reaction:)
Good video!!. My first time listening to this song by XG
I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEO❤❤❤❤ THANKS!
I love how you analyze and view each part! Hope you keep watching their MVs. Just subscribed, keep up the great work!
IYKYK JUST OUT JORDAN I NEED YOU TO REACT TO THAT ONE
I love how you explain every details that we didn't notice before.
At 7:56 I assumed Juria was reacting to Jurins time speed thingy not her pulling up beside her cuz when she does her surprised face you can see the background moving fast behind her which was different to the background when she teleported in
Wanna commenting the same loll
I thought Juria was surprised she got accelerated but not hitting anyone
thank u for reacting to this!!! i cant stop watching the mv its soooo good the song is stuck in my head (also would love to see you react to Loop by Yves)
i swear jordan replays sections more times than survival shows 😭
"I love XG." I felt that.
Hello to me in da future and once again Jordan slays at the thing the studies for
They are really digging the alien concept and i love it because its unique bizarre and funky outfit and the out of this world vibe. Xg trully in a league of their own.
I love your reactions, specially XG's. Your hair was so cute!!😍😍
Dang I appreciate this MV even more!

What I wanted to see, is exactly this.... And the song is the best for the second half of the summer
I love this video and song! XG ❤ 👏
THEY ATEEEE
Jordan is my specific reactor if I want to understand the MV concept. XG what on the Marvel powers you have lol 😅😂
It was a very nice explanation👍🏻
Thank you very much👽🤍🧡💙💜💛❤️💚🐺
i think at the beginning where they were stepping in front of her, the mind controlled people were going to formation because the next scene is them being backup dancers
13:55 I LITERALLY Thought of YOU Jordan when I first saw this in the video!!! 😂
I LOVE their outfits❤❤❤ so cooollll
I just love XG. Always outside of the box
I love your dance therapy at the end❤ ❤
XG TAKING OVER 😍💖🔥🚀
OMG Your Own “BURN” Convo of “they’re Aliens👽Jordan, Anything goes” is EVERYTHING 😂🤣😂🤣
And your dance therapy at the end is chefs kiss!
I recommend u: Number I - Goat 🙏🏻 the mv is cheff's kiss
The walking in front is the office workers behind her circling her.
oooo i love this one. well done Jordan!
16:29 as a comic nerd, I definitely needed to take a moment when Hinata was shrinking down and the after image outlines show as she gets smaller -this is exactly what ant man’s shrinking looks like in the comics, and is a detail included in the movies with an man as well. Great reference honestly
“Her WPM Score is LIT off the Charts Bro” 🔥 📈 😆🤣13:23
you commenting the MV really confirmed what they saying.. 'something ain't right'.. 😂
before this they just come and enjoying earth.. now they going to spread their influence to others.. 😂
Best youtube channel for reactions
I think the part where Juria gets surprised in the car was because time sped up and her car accelerated faster than expected rather than surprise in almost hitting Jurin who controls time.
i literally manifested this…”what if jordan reacts to this that’s me so cool” AND HE DID IT
Bless you.❤
Your dance at the end was cute💓
i just knew jordan was gonna love this one
XG BUILT DIFFERENT

"wobbly and wrbblah blah blah" - Jordan
Yeah I'm gonna subscribe cause I can feel u really like XG hahahahaa I'll support ALPHAZ the way I support XG
Jordan IV been waiting for Newjeans How sweet reaction😢😢😢
I watched the mv 1204 times and I didn't realize they all have their own powers and it's shown in the beginning XD
The editor is like "I love this music video but something ain't right" which I think is actually the intention of the music video.
You have Cocona who hints to have telekinetic powers when the guy takes her picture without her permission and later he floats up to block the elevator camera when she steps out of the elevator but then later on we see Harvey fill a shopping cart with her mind and seems to be the one with telekinetic powers instead of Cocona
You have Juria teleport at the start but later she uses a portal several times to teleport and when she's with Harvey, Maya and Chisa, it's Harvey that teleports them and has them in different clothes instantly as well
You have Maya looking like she has mind control powers at the start and in the office but then later in the store it seems she's also a zombie walking with her head tilted but when she sees Harvey she starts to walk normally while the rest behind her still seem to be zombies when her, Harvey and Juria go through the portal to go to Chisa
You have Chisa who clearly has superspeed when she's typing in the office but she uses it only once in the music video which is odd. Especially when you look at the start of the video and it seems someone freezed her and she has red eyes like Jurin for a second but when she was using her superspeed her eyes for a second are a different color and it's not red
You have Jurin who seems to be able to manipulate time but at the end of the video it seems like she can can only go back in time.
You have Hinata who has the ability to shrink and get bigger but when she dances she seems to be surprised that she shrunk all of a sudden and is running to the other size not to get crushed by giant feet and suddenly is her normal size again when she's safe and at the other side
Then you go back to the start of the video again with all that info where it seems Harvey is dead due to the fact she's levitating mid air and the rest of them seem to be controlled by someone. Which makes your brain go "Something ain't right" and is a nice easter egg to people like myself who watched the music video a bunch of times and still needs to be reminded that there's more than meets the eye with XG
