It’s the artist development that we’ve been missing. The music industry hasn’t been developing their acts like they used to. That’s why they look so good, they’ve been training for years
Loved the reaction. It was interesting hearing about where you saw aspects of growth in the team in the 3 months from Tippy Toes to Mascara and the almost 7 months from Mascara to Shooting Star and Left Right (although they were already amazingly in sync at debut). I think your point may still stand around needing these 7 members - it's not clear what will happen when Hikaru's contract with Kep1er ends other than that she will come back to XGALX. Maybe we will learn more as the Xtra Xtra documentary goes on?
I love how you said you wonder if they like the music better bc thats essentially what it is! They all grew up listening to and loving 90s/early 2000s r&b, and they talk about their inspirations being Aaliyah, lauren hill, and many others. So they always wanted this style (shooting star/left right) to be the music they made as a group~
To comment on your point about a new member joining (I'm assuming Hikaru from Kep1er cuz that's the rumor) it's not confirmed yet, but she trained with them (you actually see her in XTRA XTRA, their docuseries on youtube. Highly recommend). I personally think the group is too well established atp that they might not put her in. Another reason would be that "fans" tend to spew hate to late additions to groups. I think she would definitely be another highly impressive member added to the team, she's very talented and I, personally would welcome the idea. But out of concern, I kinda hope she finds success in a different group (or possibly as a soloist). As a separate comment tho, XG is probably one of the best gg I've seen ever, internationally. They have every skill covered by multiple, if not all members. They literally dance like one (their moves are so sharp/clean/in sync its genuinely insane), but each of them still have personality. I really hope they keep gaining popularity, especially in the west because most ggs over here are nowhere near this in dancing/stage presence/etc. (No hate to any of them tho) so it would bring something new and exciting that I feel like western music really needs rn.
#XG just makes me so unimpressed by any other GG within their generation and or currently. All them other GGs got to catch up - if they can 💗. The thing though is, XG is like no other. Literally giving me chills thinking about it. LONG BUT A GOOD READ💖: Literally the XX Documentary (Xtra Xtra) just shows how they grew with each other in an age and time where most females have ISSUES with other members or groups or JEALOUSLY. Simon and Staff (SS) have Xcelled in being present and available to these girls. Setting xamples, guiding, and believing in their mission. XG members allowing themselves to trust adults who want them to Xceed all Xpectations. XG goes beyond SELF-desires and needs and are ONE, putting each other first. Their ability to have such presence, charisma, emotion, power, and their love for what they need to achieve together, is on another level. XG will forever be the epitome of what Groups/GG only aim to achieve, flawless Xecution. Japan, I am so proud of you allowing us to witness your unity in these girls and what they dance and voice for. It’s to be different in every way, but to be one and the same, and share that love globally. #XPOP is here, and I’m thankful that #KPOP and #JPOP has paved a way in allowing this to come to fruition. 🙇🏻 Also the formation, coloring, placements of the girls and their hair/clothes, just again (thanks to SS), XG Level ( #XGL ). It’ll be a LONG time before any Group/not just GGs can reach XGL 🎉 Also as some fans always have a favorite, I literally cannot but favorite XG as a whole. A feeling that most GG or groups in general do not make me feel. So if you ask me who’s my favorite? It’s All of them, it’s XG. I’m able to find myself in ALL of them. I am able to relate, and it brings me true happiness. This is my Love letter to XG & SS, thank you, ありがとうございます！감사합니다！ 🙇🏻✌️💜💫
5:44 preach. Gotta admit to that. Tippy toes and Mascara were good introductory songs and performance but never caught my eye, just like SNSD's 'ITNW' and 'Girl's Generation' songs. 'Gee' didn't even catch my attention but 'Genie' did. Same goes with XG when I found out about 'Left Right'. Then, I went down the rabbit hole from Shooting Star to their live stage performances 🥰 The rest is history and I can't wait for their mini-album!!
Okay, I am posting this comment just because saw your face and the word XG in the same thumbnail. Yo, your reaction in the previous XG video was somehow very addictive lol It is satisfying. Don’t know why
You should see Sienna Lalau and Bailey sok cover of this. Love it when choreographers cover their own work. XG for a girl group that sings are giving the same swag vibes as professional dancers.
Came here after the "part 1". So glad we revisited Shooting Star together. That first reaction... I think I might have paused as many times as he did on the choreo. lol
Hikaru is a great dancer so I'm sure she could slip right in with XG especially since she was training with them but it's not super clear where she'll be going after Kep1er. All uncertainty aside tho, XG is definitely a force to be reckoned with ❤
Hikaru of Kep1er went through the training camp in Japan and Korea with XG. It's not confirmed if she will join them or not, that's up to Hikaru and XG/Simon. She would be an asset but I don't think they need her. Hikaru's contract with Kep1er will end and then it will be time for her to decide what to do. However based on watching the documentary it seems that Hikaru had a very close relationship with all 7 members of XG. So if they invited her I doubt she would decline it as XG is the group that she initially trained to join.
Not sure if someone told you this but if you click "F" on your keyboard, it also full screens the video. I use it so much since I don't double click often either hehe.
Awesome reaction!!! I was hoping that it was the XG MOVE videos. It would be interesting for him to see the DANCE CREW XG MOVE 1,3 & 4 and also xg solo performances of each member’s dance style
To those clam that hikaru would join the group : I love how yall act like its facts when it’s isn’t ,, she didn’t make the cut end of it ,, and i like her and i wouldn’t mind her but 7 is already big number and the formation would be ruined
yeah hikaru will be joining them its going to be all eyes on here because she gotta prove she belongs but hikaru is very talented she was with kep1er and she was doing her thang
I love how yall act like its facts when it’s isn’t ,, she didn’t make the cut end of it ,, and i like her and i wouldn’t mind her but 7 is already big number and the formation would be ruined
@@kingkhaled7 bruh just hush simon made it happen with 7 he can make it happen with 8 you acting like the group is focused on a couple people 5 rappers and 3 vocalists will be easier to mix together than 4-4 the songs they will make with hikaru will be heavily on hiphop and im here for it
@@Koko3op its apparently up to Hikaru and considering XG is what she trained for its highly unlikely that she'll decline. She's trained with them for years so its more a reunion than an addition.
from what i've heard, the the producer of these girls actually confirmed that hikaru would not be joining them but then again i didnt get this info from a direct source.
I need more reactions from him lol
Haha just love how speechless he is. At this point what else can you say really? But simply applaud and enjoy! 😊

This girl are great! Among the "new girl groups" they have my full attention
its the growth for me, you can see it❤

Haha cos he fell in love truly!
I just love the reactions from these pro dancers on XG ❤❤love to see them get mesmerised by XG girls 😊
You should see Sienna Lalau and Bailey sok cover of this. Love it when choreographers cover their own work. XG for a girl group that sings are giving the same swag vibes as professional dancers.
Tape 3 Two Tens is our. MAYA AND HARVEY SLAY!
XG actually did know Shooting Star was coming for a while. They gave a choreo spoiler for it while promoting Mascara without saying a word about it
From a director pov too what’s really great about Xg is how the transition also sets the audience to keep track of who’s singing.
Came here after the "part 1". So glad we revisited Shooting Star together. That first reaction... I think I might have paused as many times as he did on the choreo. lol

i want to see u react to their relay dances theyre so pleasing to watch!!
Not sure if someone told you this but if you click "F" on your keyboard, it also full screens the video. I use it so much since I don't double click often either hehe.
Ok but I like them as they are so whoever this girl is better be fire
PRESS THE F KEY! IT ALSO MAKES IT FULL SCREEN! the K key pauses, J key rewinds 10 seconds and L key forwards 10 seconds
Hikaru's dance and rap is crazy too
👀 XG just released Tape 3-A and Tape 3-B
Can’t wait! 😊
I’ve been waiting for this reaction ☺️
Please show ur friend xg performance pre debut video 1 n 2😭🫶🏼🫶🏼
Love ❤️
You can make a full screen by pressing "F">full screen
And also mute by M
And other short cuts
You can see the letter by pointing on it
He better sing along to shooting star ATP 😂
Awesome reaction!!! I was hoping that it was the XG MOVE videos. It would be interesting for him to see the DANCE CREW XG MOVE 1,3 & 4 and also xg solo performances of each member’s dance style
best reaction ever po
omg i love his reactions …but let him react to gi-idle killing voice if he hasn’t and some of there dance practices i think he will like them
You gotta react to the GRL GVNG dance practice. It's a freaking CHAIR CHOREO and it's magnificent.
You should’ve showed him a small clip of hikaru just reaallllyyy quick
A short cut is also “F” hope it helps
Ha thank you!
To those clam that hikaru would join the group : I love how yall act like its facts when it’s isn’t ,, she didn’t make the cut end of it ,, and i like her and i wouldn’t mind her but 7 is already big number and the formation would be ruined

I love him
ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ♡ﮩ٨ـﮩﮩ٨ـ
they are japanese
For the love of all that is good what is this intro song PLEASE!!!
Loool SNSD Paper Plane slowed
I haven't been keeping up with the news - is it confirmed+++++++ hikaru is joining the group?
So it’s not confirmed but I’ve only just learned that cos before people said it as though it was 100% lol
I doubt that they'll add an 8th member. I know Hikaru trained with them but I don't think she'll join XG.
wait what an 8th member???
I think he’s referring to hikaru who is apart of kep1er.
@@Angela-fn8sm ahh but I'm pretty sure it's just speculations though nothing confirmed
Oh really? People were saying it as if it was facts lol. That’s good to know
