You guys are 100% correct. Each member has titles and “positions” but they each can do everything. It’s incredible. That also goes for their music. From hard hitting rap, groovy house/edm, smooth R&B, pop. You name it, they got it.
Harvey - Telekinesis Hinata - Antman/Antwoman Cocona - Antigravity (she made the guy in elevator float) Chisa - Superspeed Juria - Teleportation Maya - Mind control Jurin - Time manipulation
damn dude you got a really good memory for just watching one video (Woke Up) the group has 4 rappers (Jurin, Harvey, Maya & Cocona) and 3 vocalists (Chisa, Juria & Hinata) but as you can see in this MV all of them can sing. A song that really showcase their vocals is Winter Without You (First Take version) its a Christmas song so I don't know if you guys want to listen to a Christmas song in the summertime lol
This is why they want to be labeled X-Pop… they are unlike what we have seen before 😊 They are so refreshing… girl power + positive vibes + you never know who is going to be filling which role, and that’s perfectly OK 😊❤
Very cool that you guys paid so much attention to every detail and already know the names👍👍 You should check out xg winter without you the first take version. That will show you that they can sing sing for real. They got crazy harmonies.
Every XG’s drop is different each time, and they don’t miss. They’re like a dance crew who can rap and sing. XG Tape 2 GALZ XYPHER put them on the map a while ago, it went viral. Undefeated, GRL GVNG, Hesono X~Gene, you can pick any song and it’ll be dope, different. Thank you for your reaction, ❤XG ❤
An excellent reaction, I like the critical way you have of seeing things. XG has a lot of material on their page where what stands out the most is their history, the beginning of everything, and how they prepared to become what they are today. There is also a video here on RU-vid that is a guide to get to know them better, it is called the XG guide 2024 , and here I leave you a little more information, I hope it is to your liking / thanks once again. it's always nice to find people who enjoy good taste and know how to appreciate the hard work that these girls have had on the long road they have traveled since 2017. Well, here I leave you a small historical review of XG XG is a 7 member group formed by XGALX who 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. The group had a training period of 5 years, starting in 2017 until the end of 2021. They have a hip-hop/R&B concept and are the first group to debut in the new global entertainment production XGALX, which is affiliated with Avex. The group strives to empower young people around the world with their fresh, inventive music and performance. In my opinion they are all talented with different qualities and when they are put together they have made the perfect group.. they sing, they dance, they have charisma, they are humble, their music is not sexist and they adore their fans (alphaz) .. Get ready with some popcorn, a good soda and a good towel. Because you will be completely wet with satisfaction and emotion when you immerse yourself in the world of XG / thank you 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. Winter Without You (The First Take version is a must they sound even better live. 10. Undefeated (collaboration with the video game Valorant: animated MV on Valorant channel but I would go with the Preformance video on XG'S channel) 11. Woke Up 12. Something ain't Right 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 for dance Vox 1-6 is vocals which are covers or remixes of existing songs 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 who was 16 at the time went viral for her part on Tape 2. Besides the official songs and Move, Vox and Tape series theres 2 other music to check out. The Preformance video for their 2 intros for their first mini album Hesonoo and X-Gene. The 2 youngest members also did a song for the show Street Woman Fighter 2 called Show you can. 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 raw and emotional Jurin Japanese 22 years old rapper, former model and semi professional snowboarder Harvey Japanese Australian 21 years old rapper sub vocalist also a former model Chisa 22 years old oldest member Japanese main vocalist sub leader Maya 18 years old Japanese rapper lead vocalist only member who is completely fluent in English Cocona 18 years old youngest member Japanese rapper Hinata 22 years old Japanese Korean sub vocalist Juria Japanese 19 years old main vocalist
yea, for me, XG members are all rounders, they can rap, they can sing, they can dance, they can act, they even have two reality shows and 2 Variety shows as guest, love the raects, next i hope you guys react their Shooting star The first take and Winter without you the first take, they live sing there, Alphaz 🐺🐺🐺
You guys need to watch the documentary. Then you will understand everything about how these girls can do what they do and you will know all their personalities. LOL....I did 24 years in the military and I have to be honest, their training seemed quite intense. Not for the faint of heart. They earned all the good that is coming to them, for sure.
Can’t wait for you guys to react to their Winter Without You. You’ve seen and heard Woke Up and Something Ain’t Right. Winter Without You and Left Right will showcase their vocals and other music genre range perfectly well.
13:17 It's funny you say that Maya looks so tiny because she is the 2nd tallest member in XG after Harvey. XG - SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT MV & Photoshoot | Behind The Scenes
Lol this was the most unsure but almost all the time correct reaction ever lol. I’m pretty sure you got nothing wrong the whole time lol….u can drop all ur maybes 😂 and yeah I second the undefeated performance video. It was their drop just before this. And winter without you, first take preferably will seal the deal on oh this group is crazy versatile front.
On the AlphaZ app Chisa (yellow should pads - lead localist) said the superpower she wanted was to be able to absorption information from books just by touching them - so rapid data acquisition rather than speed of typing. Cocona (rapper) hasn't revealed her exact powers on the app as yet - I think she detected the unwanted observation by the guy and reversed gravity so he floated. Jurin (red hair - rapper) on the app said she could control time but sometimes the gojo walk slipped out. Juria (cute Pink car - lead vocalist) has the ability to teleport herself, objects (the car) and others(Harvey/Maya). Maybe she uses the "shooting star" headpiece? When she walked across the store she opened a teleportal to the lift in the office. Maya (blue hair - rapper/vocalist). She is able to control the masses. Jurin (red hair - rapper) said she could control time but somtimes the gojo walk slipped out. Hinata (blue hair - vocalist) has Ant Man size control Harvey (glasses - rapper) has telekenesis/making things float power.
You guys matched the names with the girls ssoooo well already. I'm loving this channel for XG content so much! ❤ Let me tell yall...these girls sing, rap and dance at an ELITE level. Their dance videos and practices are beyond amazing. Their VOX tapes....vocals on vocals and their Xypher Tapes....outstanding!!! These tapes are very short per tape so please take a day to react to Dance, Xypher and VOX tapes in order please! Yall are going to fall into the TAPES rabbithole. EDIT: PLEASE REACT TO THEIR NEWEST GUIDE THAT JUST DROPPED. ALSO... The "Princess" you guys liked a lot is JURIA! She was the girl who was like....a gold goddess in Wake Up. (She had the graffiti/ superstition lyrics). Her vocals are out of this world and she really is gorgeous with the cutest personality.
Check out their R&B song Winter Without You. I would recommend go straight to their live performances on the music show The First Take because their live performances are always better than the studio version. This song is also extremely difficult to sing due to the difficult level of vocal breath control and harmonies that all of them including rappers have do. YES, EVEN THEIR RAPPERS CAN SING! 😃
Song just points out that Jurin needs to sing more. Her bars stand out with the schemes but her vocals has so much rizz to her swag she brings a vibe. Maya is also another rapper who's flow is so soulful and almost gospel level. I think Cocona's power is like a sorcerer and bends reality.
Good job recognizing them 👍. The 1 u said it's so pretty is actually Juria (the 1 dressed like an egyptian/wolf goddess in Woke UP) - 1 of the 3 main vocalists don't confuse her with Jurin - the leader, the 1 with short red hair). The other main vocalists are: Chisa - the 1 with glowing eyes, with hyperspeed typing (probably smthg akin to Flash powers) & Hinata - who can shrink/get big. Regarding the others superpowers, from what I understood, Jurin has either time control or clairvoyance, Cocona can manipulate matter (if u pay attention, in the 1st scene, there are some things floating around her & in the elevator scene, the dude filming her starts inflating after she smiles at him) , Harvey - telekinesis/levitation, Juria - teleportation (as u have guessed correctly) & lastly, but not least, Maya (the blue hair rapper who can also sing 😁) can control peoples minds & bodies (in the 1st scene , behind her are a group of people acting like puppets/zombies & in her 2nd scene, in the store, she is followed by several people, matching her pace). Please correct me if I misunderstood smthg... Wonderful reaction btw 👌
You guys need to go back and see Shooting Star and Left Right. If you want true vocals, listen to Winter Without You The F1rst Take live performance. And also listen to their recent mini album New DNA. You guys won’t be disappointed. XG is a dance crew that has 7 amazing vocalist and rappers. They are an all-rounder group. Each members have superpowers which is crazy. Jurin-sees the past and future/perception, Chisa-speed, Hinata-ant man powers, Harvey-telekinesis, Juria-teleportation, Maya-mind control, and Cocona-energy projection/molecular combustion.
1:47 Yes..that's Satoru Gojo walking style reference. 2:24 she's Juria the main vocal. 4:09 every XG member have superpower, Jurin time control, Chisa(typing) speedster, Hinata body size, Harvey telekinesis, Juria Teleportation, Maya mind control and Cocona levitation.12:42 if you watch behind the scenes that's the same location for shooting 'Alice in Borderland' Netflix series. The XG story could be: HESONOO & X-GENE = 7 LIFE FORM DETECTED, GRL GVNG = ARRIVING, TGIF = EVOLUTION, NEW DANCE = EXPLORATION, PUPPET SHOW = CELEBRATION, SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT = FIRST INTERACTION.
I love the vibe you two have. You did a nice job with the gifts this MV has for those who want to pay a little extra attention (and, for me, it took 5 times until I saw Huge HINATA in the background on the first pass - it totally looked like a big billboard to me.) I think you are totally primed to explore everything XG has to offer and also much credit to Simon, their founder & producer, who has had such good taste and high standards for the group. Also, they have a few tour dates in the USA in October so, if you’re lucky, they might be performing near you (and their stage performance looks completely off the hook). Thanks for your time and your great energy!❤🎉😊

Nice reaction! Great job deciphering so much while watching this MV for the first time! In your summary you touched on an aspect of XG that is so innovative. Their lyrics and how they are interpreted have “layered” or multifaceted meaning. If you just read the lyrics without watching the MV you are left with the impression that this is about one person in a relationship not being faithful. 0:02 Without discounting this, XG leverages the alien/ super power concept to position the MV to convey what isn’t “right” is their power to control and do things in an in human way. This adds a levity and playfulness to a really powerful lyrical line making the music more accessible to all ages and those who w might initially be resistant to the music based on perceptions about K-pop. This is also why they characterize their music as “X-pop/ global music” vs K-pop to leverage the appealing aspects of the K-pop genre while freeing them to experiment and define their music on their own terms. XG and their mgt team (Simon Jacobs & XGALX a div of the Japanese label AVEX) are innovators and entertainers in the truest sense. I’ll admit I didn’t really understand the purpose of the alien interpretation when it was introduced in some of their early MV’s but now I get it. The freedom to sing songs grounded in gender equality and empowerment but deliver such serious topics in a fun disarming way through the alien troupe, creates space for wider musical acceptance while still grounding the music in important social topics. The members of XG are truly brilliant artists who should be on the scene a very long time! I really think they are on a BTS global phenomenon trajectory .. we (Alphaz) are here for it! I’m looking forward to your reactions to more of the XG discography!
Harvey- ability to move/ float Hinata- is like ant man Cocona- some type of mind control Chisa(orange hair)- speed Juria- teleportation Maya- she got people as minions Jurin- is a robot
The girl you keep calling pretty and a princess is Juria. She was the one in Woke Up that was in the beige/gold outfit with angels surrounding her, rapping about graffiti and superstitions, she was also tag teaming with Hinata :P She is our super adorable main vocal and part of vocal line with Chisa (orange hair here and in the car in Woke Up) and Hinata (Blue hair) You guys seem quite interested in leaning about them so i'd recommend reacting to the guide which explains everything! positions, specialities, a bit of their personalities... Would love to see it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-htt3SI4Bpoc.html
Check out "Undefeated (Performance MV)" by them it's a song they did for Valorant the video game, I love the choreo for it. Also not only can the girls sing and rap they can DANCE and I mean dance"
Others already suggested but please watch their documentary, I would love to see your jounrney in discovery XG and their roots.. you pointed out things I haven't even noticed, so great reaction!!
Yes 🙌🏽 the set is the same one used in Alice in Borderland’s Shubuya Crossing in Tokyo, Japan 🇯🇵. Excellent breakdown of the MV. The Rappers switched it up as Vocalists. I enjoyed your review. Please react to their Dance Performance “Hesono o & Xgene” it’s the INTRO to their Mini 🧬 Album. See you on the next one ☝🏽 #Alphaz. 🎧🎼💫✨🐺
Loving your XG reactions! Subscribed✅I think you should listen to Left Right next, get a little of their RNB vibe. If you do, please watch their XG - Left Right (Shooting Star Live Stage) video as well to see the choreography for that song! So good!
Maybe I can explain this 🤔 the need to have all around performers Is incase of injuries, health and mental wellness. Things happen Wendy from red velvet(broken pelvis)Ji Suyeons (broken ankle), Jeongyeon (thyroid), Lia(mental wellness)and the list goes on. That's why fans say protect at all costs. 😂I just cut this down I began to OG rant again. I will just say I hope they have all the success they deserve. But we old timers leave that to you. We now chill with the regular Koreans. They spilled the beans for me. I'm wiping away the age my hair is growing back in any Grey hair is gone I dropped 30lbs in 4 weeks😂 kpop isn't a trend it's a lifestyle. I'll be climbing mountains soon and zooming around on electric skateboards with all my old people money. 😂 I love Korea and Asia in general
No hate, I just laugh when he identifies members and remembers names better than his partner, who is literally Asian (not assuming she must know, but it is ironic) ❤😂
Idk y I think she lacks expression, according to me. I've watched most of all of them but tbh Jurin, Harvey and Maya stands out the most. Just an opinion
