My brother, my amigo, one day you will watch the episodes of Xtra Xtra and you will truly understand how these ladies can sing, rap, and dance. Take your time though. Enjoy their art. Once you get there, you will see Simon guide these talented girls. You will see how hard he has to push them to get the results we see today. But he didn't rule with an iron fist. He made sure they had their own time and activities. He made sure they got to celebrate their birthdays. The ladies shed tears and blood, but they wanted to be where they are so bad. An XTRAORDINARY STORY my dude.
That documentary is so emotional it'll make a gangsta cry, it has!!! They had ability, some more than others, but Simon really pushed them to a point where the 7 chosen are all in point in every discipline.
If you want more dancing, check out their HESONOO AND XGENE PERFORMANCE VIDEO. And FYI having gone to their concert in NYC, they sing live and their dances are 1000% on point
I had pretty much the same journey as you : first I was shocked by their rapping skills, mannerisms, english pronunciation and thoughtful lyrics. Then they blew my mind with immaculate vocals and finally realized how high level their dancing techniques and synchronicity was. Like you mentioned, the next question was "Now can they replicate all that while performing live on stage ?" A couple of months later I found myself in the pit just a few feets away from them and witnessed greatness ! The amount of energy, charisma and stamina displayed was unbelievable to the point that my brain kind of disconnected in the last third of the show. 🤪 They literally are so overwhelmingly good that I got high on life !! Shout out to my Alphaz that were there in Paris. 🤍 We gave it our all, I’m proud of us and everybody involved in the making of The First Howl ! 🐺👽♾️
You should check out their 'Howling' MV next. I firmly believe this is their magnum opus thus far. I have never seen an mv like this before. The song itself is also a perfect introduction to both the groups concept and their identity as a hip hop + R&B group. To top it all off, the choreography is completely on theme for them without sacrificing their usual high level of complexity. It's the total package.
He's definitely not ready watching the Howling live performances. The choreography video maybe but not the raw and unedited version of their live performance.
I'm sure he blew a gasket and 3 cylinders reacting to Howling. BTW, they're ready for Coachella. They just completed a world tour. I went to the S.F. day 1 show with my daughter...3rd row. I made the North American Tour highlight reel. I have written books, songs, produced albums, worked with multiplatinum and Grammy award winning artists etc... but being on XG's highlight reel is what I brag about.
@@XG_Alpha_Supreme LOL and so you should! Part of that brag is the fact that you experienced your appreciation of XG with your daughter which is a bonding moment she will have for the rest of her life every time she listens to an XG song as an adult. I only have that bond with my friends because my parents would never take me to a concert where that appreciation is mutual.
Their debut was just a straight dance with masks on. They came out like straight ninjas. People didn’t even know they could sing or rap. It was so cold.
My first experience was a clip of Cocona’s Xypher, then my full song was “Woke Up” in September last year. I really wish I could have seen Move #1 as my first introduction to them. Looking back at it now it’s fun to try and identify the girls since they’re less individual in that clip.
Aye OG thanks for the reaction! As someone who saw them live in LA for their first world tour ill say this...The mics are ON, the dancing is on point, the vocals are clear and they perform they asses off! Chisa did Nothing By Whitney and made it her own, didnt try to out do Whitney (because you cant). The rappers did their cyphers and the swag and confidence was A1, and the vocal line did Say my name! I hope you check out left right soon, its a fandom favorite and they did a slow remix live in LA for it. Hope you enjoy your journey! They really are students of the game and you can tell by how they groove to the music.
I saw them live in Duluth from the floor a couple months ago, and they are just as good, if not better, live. Incredible performers all around. They did a rock version of this song for their tour intro💫 Nobody is out here doing it like XG!
The one you've been asking about is their main vocalist Juria. Absolutely cute and bubbly on her downtime but a total Diva when she hits the stage. She and Chisa are both from Osaka and are like sisters. They're the Osaka sisters aka Chiria.
I was the same as you. “So, their mvs and practices are great, but can they sustain that level live?” Then I saw their live performances, and my jaw dropped. Their US tour stops were widely praised. Much like their producer, XG are true students of the r&b and hip hop genres. You’re gonna enjoy this trip!
Even their magazines features are primarily written in Japanese rather than Korean. Producer Simon and the new AVEX CEO, Katsumi Kuroiwa, have emphasized that XG is not a K-pop group. Instead, they are labeled as an XPOP group from Japan, often described as J-hip-hop/pop/rap.
You need to react to Left Right. It’s an instant RnB hit. I guarantee it will blow you away. Also Howling is their best showing of all skills. My personal two favorites.
OH BRO DIDNT KNOW THEY WERE A DANCE CREW FIRST AND FOREMOST! 😂😂😂 yes I just binged everyone of your reactions! 🔥🔥🔥 Keep ‘‘em coming - as I said on another one LOOSING YOU!!! Hinata, Chisa, Juriah! Again trust man it’s just pure RNB 90s
Watching this I just noticed that they don’t need backup dancers😳 I went to the concert in GA and I just noticed it was just them in the stage. STAN XGGGGGG 🐺💚
That show at the Duluth Gas Arena was 🔥🔥🔥. The vocals, visuals and dancing all on point. Any chance to see these girls is a must go!! And Simon spinning deep ATL classics to get the crowd hyped during the "intermission" was insane.
Jurin just said in an interview today that she's into Rapsody and Doechii, and lauryn hill is one of Cocona's biggest influences. These girls have genuinely love hip hop and rnb and i really think its why they seem more authentic than other groups.
AlphaZ on deck!🐺👾 The way the choreography focuses on whoever is singing and how they flow in and out of formation is X-LEVEL! I love hearing the shouts and the footstomps, too. They be feeling it! Move #3 and #4. Its them dancing to other people's music!👊🐺🤘
THERE IS A RABBIT HOLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE VIDEOS CALLED (XG MOVES) WHERE THERE'S NO SINGING FROM THEM, JUST THEM DANCING AS A GROUP AND EACH ONE IS FEATURED INDIVIDUALLY. THESE GIRLS ARE COLD-BLOODED ❣️ BY THE WAY THEY SING AND DANCE AT THE SAME DARN TIME... EFFORTLESSLY! THEY ARE MY DAUGHTERS AND SO THEY ARE BLASIAN😂
Woke up dance performance. sporting their wolf/samurai fit!!!!! I was just like you and your denial!!!! Enjoy every moment my friend. It's truly awesome!!!! Sorry no lip syncing.....
They also have their XG Move series where each have their own personal dance choreography videos and showing different dance styles ranging from hip-hop to contemporary. 😃
Most of XG’s production involves collaboration between Japanese and Korean crews. Even their latest music video, Something Ain’t Right, was filmed in Japan. It’s surprising when people misunderstand their origins-have they even watched the XG documentary? Producer Simon clearly stated they aren’t categorized as K-pop. Additionally, during Japan’s Billboard Music event, the new AVEX CEO confirmed that XG is officially classified as XPOP. ------ It’s important to understand the term subsidiary. Subsidiary companies can operate globally, but ownership belongs to the parent company. In this case, XGALX, a subsidiary of AVEX, is fully owned by AVEX, a Japanese entertainment corporation.
@kZ-jw4cu I strongly agree that many people haven’t watched the XG documentary or read the Japan Billboard Music interview with the new AVEX CEO, Katsumi Kuriowa, or done any research, where they explains why XG is labeled as XPOP.
They strongly represent Japan in everything they do and are more popular in Japan than in Korea. This is evident from the additional concerts scheduled in Japan. While they held only one official HOWL concert in Korea, they performed four shows in Japan in May 2024, with five additional dates added for February and March 2025. Additionally, they have never been associated with or considered a K-pop group. Some even describe them as more of a J-Hip-Hop/Pop group, but they are officially labeled as XPOP from Japan. ----- Check out the Japan Billboard AVEX interview with Katsumi Kuriowa and documentary of XG.
XG: The Rising Star's Journey XG originates from the renowned Japanese entertainment company AVEX, which entrusted CEO Simon to lead its subsidiary, XGALX. The group reflects a collaborative effort, blending the talents of both Japanese and Korean production teams. Japanese staff play key roles, including art direction, sound engineering, production, and songwriting, showcasing a seamless fusion of creativity and expertise. ❤Most of XG's videos involve participation from both Japan and Korea. However, the main production and support behind XG's creation come from Japan corporation.
Thats why they're called XG, Xtraordinary Girls, no one can do like them Pls you must react to X-Gene, this is were you can see their best dance ever!!
The great thing about them is that they sing without being out of breath even though they dance so intensely with their whole bodies. If you look at their documentaries, they have been doing hard training since they were trainees. The results are connected to their current technical skills. from XG🇯🇵fan
You definitely need to check out Girl Gvng performance video from XG. 1. It's an excellent song! 2. It shows off more of their dance skills. 3 they also made an American sign language version of the song. They quadlingual? No regrets from any of their songs, tapes, vox, or move videos.
The Sydney show is a vibe. It's just them having a fun time with the audience. No pressure to put on a perfect show. The live version of New Dance in Sydney just makes you want to go to one of their shows, whether it be a short set festival or a full-blown tour.
Maya and Cocona have writing credits on the song Show You Can which they recorded for the Korean tv show Street Woman Fighter. Check out the lyric video if you’re interested.
The GRL GVNG dance practice is also a great showcase of their dance technical skills, they are so in sync it's crazy and with props it's even more obvious
XG (XPOP) from Japan!! 🇯🇵 🇯🇵🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️ the best Japanese girl groups! XG is under the parent company AVEX (Japanese entertainment corporation) -- XGALX is a subsidiary from AVEX. 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Ultimately, opinions may vary, but what truly matters is that AVEX has seen increased investment profits. They continue to support their subsidiary company, XGALX, and the growth of XG, who proudly represent Japan.
XG has been doing live shows since they released their first song. Initially they were lip syncing but now they are singing live and dancing hard and still killing it. The only thing I miss from their shows to say they are some of the best live performers ever is props and stage theatrics. I notice they are starting to include props so who knows where they'll go with more success. Don't watch the documentary series on how they formed or you will be fully invested. Watching that doc makes it feel like they are your children and now you have to see them succeed.
You are not ready for the live stages. What you saw was a dance practice for their live stage. They do use a back track, but they use the back track to add in ad libs and flourish to the live performances and 90% of their live is actually them singing and rapping. The vocal sub team is on another level live since 95% of their performances is just them doing it raw, again using back tracks to do flourishes, effects and adlibs. Chisa, Hinata and Juria does a rendition of Losing You and Say My Name that just takes you back to another time. They also do a rendition of Justin Bieber's song that might break your cognitive abilities.
Chisa and Juria (the one in the plain white shirt and blue pants) are the main vocalists in the group. Hinata (the one with the blue striped top) is a main dancer and sub-vocalist in the group.
You have to watch their Left Right M/V. XG is influenced by groups like TLC, Destiny’s Child, Chisa loves Janet Jackson. They all love Michael Jackson. They really love the older RnB and Hip Hop. Their song Is this Love is another RNB hit they just don’t done a MV. You can find a lyrics video out there.
Correction Is This Love is another one of their songs but IN THE RAIN is the other RnB track. Is This Love is still a good song. No MV for either one but lyric videos out. They are color coded so you can see who is singing their part.
5:46 omg someone needs to clip this moment and get it to the girls ASAP! They would love it so much! Also I really hope you react to thier "MOVE" series of videos where you get to see each individual do a solo dance and i think 2 as a group!
XG's mission as an organization alongside their individual dreams makes them so well rounded. It really does feel like they are aiming for something bigger than being a part staple in the music industry but an embodiment of their authenticity. Cheers to Simon and the Girls!
I am a big XG fan! But wanted to remind you that you cant forget da brat and Foxy brown!!!! Anyway, I can’t wait to watch your XG tape reactions! Their R&B song “in the rain” is the best as well
Rappers, singers AND a dance troupe! ALPHAZ on deck🐺🐺🐺 I see you are failing spectacularly at avoiding the XG wormhole🤣 Watching Chisa and Juria sing Bieber's Peaches will help you distinguish them better.
I’m sorry fam but once you start, XG is inevitable😅. XG checks all the boxes for you! I’m honestly…I’m not going to say anything but wait until you see the XG tapes and XG VOX videos, which are their rap/vocal showcases. All of them are worth a watch, but I’m going to be direct, please watch XG Tape 3B, Nothin’, and XG Tape 4, particularly their 4 solo videos (of of their 4 rappers has their own video, Jurin, Harvey, Maya, Cocona). On top of that, please please watch XG VOX 1 Peaches and 6 Losing You. At that point you can decide if you want to go further lol. Thank you!
If you want to know about them and how they became what they are, watch the docu series extra extra. It was how they were formed. It shows the true master mind and his vision of Simon the ceo and producer. Aka jakops
juria is the one you asked about, and she’s the one i would have trouble recognizing also (would mix up with chisa). for a while i’d have to look for juria’s bangs
I understand ur frustration. As a fan, sometimes I get overwhelmed by their talent too. That’s why I can empathize with haters when they get so mad trying to catch XG lacking & slacking. In fact, some ppl actually believe XG is an AI group, lol. They are unreal for sure!
They have also performed on Japanese TV music shows such as NHK and CDTV, and most of their published magazine features are based in Japan, not Korea. Have you seen their previous collaborations with VOGUE, FORBES, NIKE, and NYLON? All of these publications are based in Japan.
You are absolutely right, TALENT, your reactions are awesome, 71. Their documentary "XTRA XTRA" is on their channel (XG) it's 9 episodes 30 to 90 minutes EACH, dont miss the intro with Simon (CEO, producer, mentor, and father figure to these girls). It is subtitled, be ready to read, it starts with 30 girls training, it is quite the journey.
Agreed 100% most rappers don't write their own rhymes, unless it's a battle, I don't hold that against rappers. Lauryn Hill is a big influence for Cocona which is almost obvious 😅. Her Swag and skills are Lauryn Hill tier. When you get to Move 1, which is how they were introduced to the world, you'll see they could easily be a top tier dance crew that can also rap and sing.. My daughter and I saw them live in ATL and they are amazing, mics are definitely on.. They're going to kill it at Coachella. I think they are 1 BIG feature away from really blowing up.
I like your reactions to XG. I agree with you that these young ladies can do it all. They are a perfect blend of talent. They started being formed from 2017. If you have time go and watch their documentary. It tells the whole story of this group of why and how they were out together. And if you want to see their dancing talent check out all their dance pratice videos. Particularly the "XG Move #1" video.
love your reactions .. this will blow your mind, it’s a fan cam of Chisa in concert, covering a lady gaga song. so good an actual professional classical singer reacted and called out how great she is: ua-cam.com/video/s6sJuV6gHyk/v-deo.htmlsi=yy6IETzMXfbMsD3h AND xx bonus .. i always feel like this short piece covers a lot of who they are .. hesonoo and x gene .. different, dance, rap, sing: ua-cam.com/video/RhDnRE7nciw/v-deo.htmlsi=AFGcaeri9YIZIowc -enjoy!!
Also remember xg are only like 2-3 years since debut babymonster a year since debut and meovv only like 4-6 months ago I think all 3 young but talented
In case it wasn’t recommended, you should check out Left Rights music video (90’s RnB), the live stage performance video, and the dance practice. All are amazing in their own right and worth watching. ALSO, you mention Ciara in this video, Ciara and Jackson Wang did a remix of XG’s Left Right, and performed it at Coachella. You can find their version of the song on UA-cam as well.
We are the same age so I know what you mean. I grew up with Run DMC, LL Cool J, NWA, Public Enemy, Biggie, Tupac, KRS-One, etc and of course all the R&B like New Edition, Bel Biv DeVoe, Boyz 2 Men, Brian McKnight and so on and so forth...it feels weird to like XG so much but it's hitting all the right notes(pun intended) and it just sounds right. Rap, sing, dance...they seem to do it all while dripping in that swag and finesse! I went through their catalog and they really don't miss in my book!
I know you're referring to females,but there's one American entertainer who's a top-tier rapper, singer, dancer. He's been consistently great for so long people take it for granted. Chris Brown
I think you would like XG - Left Right. it is one of their best songs in my opinion next to XG - Puppet Show, Left Right is in a small list of K-pop songs that I consider a masterpiece like (G)idle - Lion, Aespa - Drama, New Jeans - Hype Boy, BABYMON - Like That. not a lot of songs were I would not change a single thing
Not to take shine away from XG's awesomeness. But if you want to experience another girl group that can sing as well as they can dance - then you need to discover Bini from the Philippines. They're literally the nation's girl group. 😊
My brother, my amigo, one day you will watch the episodes of Xtra Xtra and you will truly understand how these ladies can sing, rap, and dance. Take your time though. Enjoy their art. Once you get there, you will see Simon guide these talented girls. You will see how hard he has to push them to get the results we see today. But he didn't rule with an iron fist.

An XTRAORDINARY STORY my dude.
Yes 😉✨🐺 XTRAORDINARY GIRLS ..ALL THE WAY. I will watch it again with each reactor. 😂
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🐺👽
Once you watch it, you become a very protective fan of this group. They must be protected at all cost.
That documentary is so emotional it'll make a gangsta cry, it has!!! They had ability, some more than others, but Simon really pushed them to a point where the 7 chosen are all in point in every discipline.
This is fire!!! I’ve watched so many reactions and read so many comments and it’s just pure fucking greatness to see people dive right in!!!
What is XG?
a) A rap supergroup
b) A vocal powerhouse
c) A professional dance crew
d) all of the above and so much more!!!!!!
Cocona has stated several times that Lauren Hill is her biggest inspiration
you're saying no rabbit hole but all i'm hearing is YES YES YES
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I’m a 56 year old punk rocker and I’ve been down the rabbit hole. It’s a beautiful place. Well worth the trip. Do it!
🐇🩵💎🐺
Saw them in NYC in October. They can do it live. I'm so happy for them that they're getting love from people outside the Asian music fansphere.
If you want more dancing, check out their HESONOO AND XGENE PERFORMANCE VIDEO. And FYI having gone to their concert in NYC, they sing live and their dances are 1000% on point
Fun fact, XG has a remix With Ciara for their song Left right
THE best part of dance practices are the foot stomps and hearing them shout.
They be feeling it!😂👊🐺✌️
Hah, I already said that in my previous comment on this same video. My bad!😁
This means I'm watching these more than once! 😇
Cocona's my Bias too, but still, XG's the only girl group where u genuinely admire and love every single member. Simply FLAWLESS ❤
No hope needed, trust them, they nail it every time.
💯 it's a problem, they have a hard time missing if they tried.
I had pretty much the same journey as you : first I was shocked by their rapping skills, mannerisms, english pronunciation and thoughtful lyrics. Then they blew my mind with immaculate vocals and finally realized how high level their dancing techniques and synchronicity was.

They literally are so overwhelmingly good that I got high on life !! Shout out to my Alphaz that were there in Paris. 🤍 We gave it our all, I’m proud of us and everybody involved in the making of The First Howl ! 🐺👽♾️
I was at The First Howl in LA and I had the same reaction. Then all of that plus the energy the ALPHAZ brought was transcendant.
Alphaz we gon’ ride or die ! 💪 Hope you get the chance to see them at Coachella.
You should check out their 'Howling' MV next. I firmly believe this is their magnum opus thus far. I have never seen an mv like this before. The song itself is also a perfect introduction to both the groups concept and their identity as a hip hop + R&B group.

Don't forget Woke Up Choreography video.

The song Show You Can was co-wrote by Cocona and Maya for the show Street Women Fighter, XG does the choreography and sing live
XG is incredible live. Their performances are top tier.
Even their magazines features are primarily written in Japanese rather than Korean. Producer Simon and the new AVEX CEO, Katsumi Kuroiwa, have emphasized that XG is not a K-pop group. Instead, they are labeled as an XPOP group from Japan, often described as J-hip-hop/pop/rap.
XG Hesonoo & XGene performance video is another masterpiece of them
yes, its short but amazing
You need to react to Left Right. It’s an instant RnB hit. I guarantee it will blow you away. Also Howling is their best showing of all skills. My personal two favorites.
soon come
XG is a complete package of ACES. To see how they got to where they are, watch the Xtra Xtra documentary.
OH BRO DIDNT KNOW THEY WERE A DANCE CREW FIRST AND FOREMOST! 😂😂😂
yes I just binged everyone of your reactions! 🔥🔥🔥
Keep ‘‘em coming - as I said on another one
LOOSING YOU!!! Hinata, Chisa, Juriah! Again trust man it’s just pure RNB 90s
Thanks

I love hearing the shouts and the footstomps, too. They be feeling it!
Move #3 and #4. Its them dancing to other people's music!👊🐺🤘
And the fact that the transformations are never truly duplicated if they do it a second time which keeps the choreo constantly fresh.
THERE IS A RABBIT HOLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE VIDEOS CALLED (XG MOVES) WHERE THERE'S NO SINGING FROM THEM, JUST THEM DANCING AS A GROUP AND EACH ONE IS FEATURED INDIVIDUALLY. THESE GIRLS ARE COLD-BLOODED ❣️
BY THE WAY THEY SING AND DANCE AT THE SAME DARN TIME... EFFORTLESSLY!
THEY ARE MY DAUGHTERS AND SO THEY ARE BLASIAN😂
Coachella will be light work. These girls have been performing live internationally. They are JUST THAT TALENTED.
Chisa = black and white outfit, Juria = bright blue pants, white t-shirt.
Woke up dance performance. sporting their wolf/samurai fit!!!!! I was just like you and your denial!!!! Enjoy every moment my friend. It's truly awesome!!!! Sorry no lip syncing.....
I went to their concert, and they do dance like this live, the best concert i was 🙏🙏
4:26 Juria, 4:35 Hinata, 5:25 Chisa
They also have their XG Move series where each have their own personal dance choreography videos and showing different dance styles ranging from hip-hop to contemporary. 😃
I hope you watched the moving camera version after this... shows how the moves translate into video. absolute magic
Most of XG’s production involves collaboration between Japanese and Korean crews. Even their latest music video, Something Ain’t Right, was filmed in Japan.

Agree! Many people mistakenly believe that "subsidiary" means the main company. 🤦♀
@kZ-jw4cu I strongly agree that many people haven’t watched the XG documentary or read the Japan Billboard Music interview with the new AVEX CEO, Katsumi Kuriowa, or done any research, where they explains why XG is labeled as XPOP.
Papa you need to see Hesonoo & X-Gene Performance Video by XG like ASAP and be ready to mindblown
They strongly represent Japan in everything they do and are more popular in Japan than in Korea. This is evident from the additional concerts scheduled in Japan. While they held only one official HOWL concert in Korea, they performed four shows in Japan in May 2024, with five additional dates added for February and March 2025.

Thats why they're called XG, Xtraordinary Girls, no one can do like them
Pls you must react to X-Gene, this is were you can see their best dance ever!!
My personal favorites from XG
1. Howling
2. Undefeated
3. XG Tapes #4 (Harvey, Maya, Cocona, Jurin)
4. Left Right (R&B)
5: Grl Gvng
6: Hesonoo + X-Gene
The great thing about them is that they sing without being out of breath even though they dance so intensely with their whole bodies. If you look at their documentaries, they have been doing hard training since they were trainees. The results are connected to their current technical skills.
from XG🇯🇵fan
You know they are XG, Extraordinary Girls, one of one!
You definitely need to check out Girl Gvng performance video from XG. 1. It's an excellent song! 2. It shows off more of their dance skills. 3 they also made an American sign language version of the song. They quadlingual? No regrets from any of their songs, tapes, vox, or move videos.
For a heart felt nostalgia do live performance (australia, 2023 show) of “Just Stand Up”
will do
The Sydney show is a vibe. It's just them having a fun time with the audience. No pressure to put on a perfect show. The live version of New Dance in Sydney just makes you want to go to one of their shows, whether it be a short set festival or a full-blown tour.
This is elite level stuff these ladys are fire
Check out the XG move series 1-4 if you want straight dancing from them
Howling is going to blow his mind.
Bow down to the X!
ALPHAZ ON DECK!!! Dancing is on POINT🔥🔥🔥
Maya and Cocona have writing credits on the song Show You Can which they recorded for the Korean tv show Street Woman Fighter. Check out the lyric video if you’re interested.
The GRL GVNG dance practice is also a great showcase of their dance technical skills, they are so in sync it's crazy and with props it's even more obvious
Japan totally get it
XG (XPOP) from Japan!! 🇯🇵 🇯🇵🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️ the best Japanese girl groups! XG is under the parent company AVEX (Japanese entertainment corporation) -- XGALX is a subsidiary from AVEX. 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Ultimately, opinions may vary, but what truly matters is that AVEX has seen increased investment profits. They continue to support their subsidiary company, XGALX, and the growth of XG, who proudly represent Japan.
Shooting Star might be one of their easiest choreos they've done so far. Many times they will also have floor work and way more transformations.
XG !!!!!!!🐺👽🔥💯
XG has been doing live shows since they released their first song. Initially they were lip syncing but now they are singing live and dancing hard and still killing it. The only thing I miss from their shows to say they are some of the best live performers ever is props and stage theatrics. I notice they are starting to include props so who knows where they'll go with more success. Don't watch the documentary series on how they formed or you will be fully invested. Watching that doc makes it feel like they are your children and now you have to see them succeed.
4:26 It's Juria with cobalt blue pant and blonded Hinata in drop after that !
You are not ready for the live stages. What you saw was a dance practice for their live stage. They do use a back track, but they use the back track to add in ad libs and flourish to the live performances and 90% of their live is actually them singing and rapping. The vocal sub team is on another level live since 95% of their performances is just them doing it raw, again using back tracks to do flourishes, effects and adlibs. Chisa, Hinata and Juria does a rendition of Losing You and Say My Name that just takes you back to another time. They also do a rendition of Justin Bieber's song that might break your cognitive abilities.
Chisa and Juria (the one in the plain white shirt and blue pants) are the main vocalists in the group. Hinata (the one with the blue striped top) is a main dancer and sub-vocalist in the group.
You have to watch their Left Right M/V. XG is influenced by groups like TLC, Destiny’s Child, Chisa loves Janet Jackson. They all love Michael Jackson. They really love the older RnB and Hip Hop. Their song Is this Love is another RNB hit they just don’t done a MV. You can find a lyrics video out there.
Correction Is This Love is another one of their songs but IN THE RAIN is the other RnB track. Is This Love is still a good song. No MV for either one but lyric videos out. They are color coded so you can see who is singing their part.
Everything you say about XG is spot on. Love your reaction and ability to see true talent.
Thank you so much 😀
Lauryn Hill is Cocona’s idol.
5:46 omg someone needs to clip this moment and get it to the girls ASAP! They would love it so much! Also I really hope you react to thier "MOVE" series of videos where you get to see each individual do a solo dance and i think 2 as a group!
Coming soon
My fave reactor! I ❤XG
Glad you enjoyed it!
XG's mission as an organization alongside their individual dreams makes them so well rounded. It really does feel like they are aiming for something bigger than being a part staple in the music industry but an embodiment of their authenticity. Cheers to Simon and the Girls!
We were telling you… they can dance. Oh, live performance you say?! Watch any of their live performance videos. Dancing while singing.
That's because they're top tier dancers.Basically triple threat; NUFF said.
FYI XG is on the final stages of completing their 1st World Tour. So, XG will be ready for any upcoming stage. 😊
I am a big XG fan! But wanted to remind you that you cant forget da brat and Foxy brown!!!! Anyway, I can’t wait to watch your XG tape reactions! Their R&B song “in the rain” is the best as well
You gotta see their live performances personally id recommend their recent howl world tour i couldn't stop binge watching them !
I'm scared of the binge!
Rappers, singers AND a dance troupe! ALPHAZ on deck🐺🐺🐺 I see you are failing spectacularly at avoiding the XG wormhole🤣 Watching Chisa and Juria sing Bieber's Peaches will help you distinguish them better.
Should check out KAWASAKI by ONE OR EIGHT who are from the same parent company as XG. They've also done a collab with Big Sean.
I’m sorry fam but once you start, XG is inevitable😅. XG checks all the boxes for you! I’m honestly…I’m not going to say anything but wait until you see the XG tapes and XG VOX videos, which are their rap/vocal showcases. All of them are worth a watch, but I’m going to be direct, please watch XG Tape 3B, Nothin’, and XG Tape 4, particularly their 4 solo videos (of of their 4 rappers has their own video, Jurin, Harvey, Maya, Cocona). On top of that, please please watch XG VOX 1 Peaches and 6 Losing You. At that point you can decide if you want to go further lol. Thank you!
Geesh!
If you want to know about them and how they became what they are, watch the docu series extra extra. It was how they were formed.
It shows the true master mind and his vision of Simon the ceo and producer. Aka jakops
React XG howling
Done! Posting tomorrow
juria is the one you asked about, and she’s the one i would have trouble recognizing also (would mix up with chisa). for a while i’d have to look for juria’s bangs
I understand ur frustration. As a fan, sometimes I get overwhelmed by their talent too. That’s why I can empathize with haters when they get so mad trying to catch XG lacking & slacking. In fact, some ppl actually believe XG is an AI group, lol. They are unreal for sure!
Next rap one: do Show You Can (Maya/Cocona, lyric video only, they don’t have it in their XG channel since it was made for Street Women Fighter)
They have also performed on Japanese TV music shows such as NHK and CDTV, and most of their published magazine features are based in Japan, not Korea. Have you seen their previous collaborations with VOGUE, FORBES, NIKE, and NYLON? All of these publications are based in Japan.
Thanks for sharing this info!
Cocona says repeatedly Lauryn Hill is her role model.
You are absolutely right, TALENT, your reactions are awesome, 71. Their documentary "XTRA XTRA" is on their channel (XG) it's 9 episodes 30 to 90 minutes EACH, dont miss the intro with Simon (CEO, producer, mentor, and father figure to these girls).
It is subtitled, be ready to read, it starts with 30 girls training, it is quite the journey.
Agreed 100% most rappers don't write their own rhymes, unless it's a battle, I don't hold that against rappers.
Lauryn Hill is a big influence for Cocona which is almost obvious 😅. Her Swag and skills are Lauryn Hill tier.
When you get to Move 1, which is how they were introduced to the world, you'll see they could easily be a top tier dance crew that can also rap and sing..
My daughter and I saw them live in ATL and they are amazing, mics are definitely on.. They're going to kill it at Coachella.
I think they are 1 BIG feature away from really blowing up.
ALPHAZ ON DECK!
Check out their MOVE series; it showcases the many dance styles they can do.
TAPES are for the rapline.
VOX are for the vocal line.
These girls are above any K-Pop or J-Pop girl or guy group. They are XG! (Xttra-Orrdinary Gazl)
Lauren Hill is Cocona's childhood idol.
Been to their concert. Mics are on.
Drops mic!
Dance practice de XG - GRL GVNG it's simply incredible
I like your reactions to XG. I agree with you that these young ladies can do it all. They are a perfect blend of talent. They started being formed from 2017. If you have time go and watch their documentary. It tells the whole story of this group of why and how they were out together. And if you want to see their dancing talent check out all their dance pratice videos. Particularly the "XG Move #1" video.
Thanks!
love your reactions .. this will blow your mind, it’s a fan cam of Chisa in concert, covering a lady gaga song.
so good an actual professional classical singer reacted and called out how great she is:

AND xx bonus .. i always feel like this short piece covers a lot of who they are .. hesonoo and x gene .. different, dance, rap, sing:
ua-cam.com/video/RhDnRE7nciw/v-deo.htmlsi=AFGcaeri9YIZIowc
-enjoy!!
Also remember xg are only like 2-3 years since debut babymonster a year since debut and meovv only like 4-6 months ago I think all 3 young but talented
In case it wasn’t recommended, you should check out Left Rights music video (90’s RnB), the live stage performance video, and the dance practice. All are amazing in their own right and worth watching.
ALSO, you mention Ciara in this video, Ciara and Jackson Wang did a remix of XG’s Left Right, and performed it at Coachella. You can find their version of the song on UA-cam as well.
We are the same age so I know what you mean. I grew up with Run DMC, LL Cool J, NWA, Public Enemy, Biggie, Tupac, KRS-One, etc and of course all the R&B like New Edition, Bel Biv DeVoe, Boyz 2 Men, Brian McKnight and so on and so forth...it feels weird to like XG so much but it's hitting all the right notes(pun intended) and it just sounds right. Rap, sing, dance...they seem to do it all while dripping in that swag and finesse! I went through their catalog and they really don't miss in my book!
I know you're referring to females,but there's one American entertainer who's a top-tier rapper, singer, dancer. He's been consistently great for so long people take it for granted.
Chris Brown
Please check out the dance version of woke up, its so fire omg (they even have a formation that looks like a wolf at one point which is so on brand)
I think you would like XG - Left Right. it is one of their best songs in my opinion next to XG - Puppet Show, Left Right is in a small list of K-pop songs that I consider a masterpiece like (G)idle - Lion, Aespa - Drama, New Jeans - Hype Boy, BABYMON - Like That. not a lot of songs were I would not change a single thing
Not to take shine away from XG's awesomeness. But if you want to experience another girl group that can sing as well as they can dance - then you need to discover Bini from the Philippines. They're literally the nation's girl group. 😊
Love your reaction. Please check out Hesonoo-Xgene. It will blow you away
You should check out XG Hesonoo &X Gene (performance video). Beautiful dance video.✌️😊🔥
When u said I’m not supposed to like them this much I said the same thing I ain’t seen nothing like them they different
