ARTISTRY! XG - WINTER WITHOUT YOU / THE FIRST TAKE XG Reaction The First Take Reaction

[@riopato2009]

The more I hear them, the harder it is to choose a bias. I simp them all. This live recording is a 1 take and really shows their magic together. It's crazy how flawless they're performing this song.

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

This is why I cannot pick a bias. It would change with every song lol. They're all so important to the group, we need them all. Thank you for watching with me. 🐺❤️

[@travis-bs3bs]

XG is the best female group in the world now.

[@08cao08]

I am so happy that someone else see's the importance of Hinata.

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

Oh yeah I talked a lot about her in my Winter Without You MV reaction too. She is so important. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYeZdqmNlM11rNU

[@Shaomander]

Simon really created a monster of a group. I hope Japan is proud of these 7 women, absolutely incredible. Watching the documentary puts into perspective how far all of them have come. Over half of them struggled and were near the bottom rank of trainees, struggling with dance or singing or both. May 2024 bring them even more success

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

Oh yeah I have to watch the documentary, hopefully I have time in January to check that out so I can understand more about their journey! I agree they are incredible and ALPHAZ are incredible! 🐺❤️ Thank you for watching.

[@Anna-go5pl]

they all killed it but maya is something else, she really surprised us all. I cant wait for them to go on a world tour T-T

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

She's an Ace! I think the vocal line own this song but it wouldn't work as well with the others if Maya didn't bring her Mayabilities to the table like this! 🐺❤️

[@shawndataram6709]

As a grown ass man I’ve caught tears in their songs and I’m not ashamed of it

[@Docavelli]

Juria starts by hypnotizing you then Chisa punches you in the face. Followed up by Hinata with an upper cut. The vocal 3pc puts you on the floor. I don't know how but Harvey is always on time. She just fits right in. The way she can manipulate her voice is unexpected. Jurin's flow is exquisite on this. Perfect timing and her voice makes it hit so much more. There's nothing left to say about Coco. The voice. The flow. And even with this shorter feature, she delivered it with so much sauce. She feels it. Maya, Maya, Maya. I've been screaming Maya back to Tippy Toes. I'm so glad she's getting some recognition. It seemed like, even though she was bringing heat with her bars, she was off a lot of people's radar. Nice reaction ✌🏾

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

I love the way you described the vocal line 😂 it really does hit you like that! Harvey is a unique artist, the way she alternated between high and low brings a nice melody to her flow that fits really well. Plus she did a very clean ad-libs for herself! Coco also brought a melodic aspect to her flow which was different for her, nice to hear and fits the song better than her normal flow. Jurin's flow and delivery was just a flawless callback to the kind of rapping you'd hear on this kind of song in the 90s or something. They all did something different and yet they all fit together so well. Unbelievable song composition. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, very well said and I agree 100%. 🐺❤️

I think this song and the soulful way they perform it is perfect for memories and expressing longing, or missing someone. It's sad but so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and for watching. 🐺❤️

[@defmeta]

Harvey was a revelation for me in this recording, the way she drops an octave for the last syllable of her first rap sections last 3 lines is so warm, and her back-up vocals after the 2nd chorus are just heavenly. This was so so so special... 🥹💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

Yes her ability to change up her tone and flow is one of those things that takes something good and makes it great. She also seemed much more in her element for this than in the Shooting Star first take and I think that comfort helped! Thanks for sharing this I fully agree with your breakdown! 🐺❤️

[@defmeta]

@@ChainReactionsChannel Yes! She seemed so much more comfortable and into it than in the Shooting Star one! So damn proud.

You’ll definitely like the documentary..I watched the whole series probably a dozen times and still get the same feeling when i first watched it..i agree Maya is such an ace..Also 3 meals a day(Their reality show) also a must watch. I been a kpop fan for 15 plus years,but i never been so attached to a group like XG..I love them so much.

[@vespaxvespa]

Thank you so much for your genuine reaction. Seeing you cry made me also cry. I never ever thought that Maya would make me cry before this song comes out. 2023 was the year of XG for me, their music was always there when I was happy and also when I was down. Thank you for supporting the extraordinary girls. Hope 2024 will be a good year for XG, for you and for the ALPHAZ all over the world🐺 The cap suits you fine !

We just knew they were going to kill it. Everyone played an important part. I know they aren’t getting as many views as other groups who just started (yet) but it’s not how fast they rise to the top.

Thank you so much for loving our Maya! She can do everything yet still so much underrated, it broke my heart everytime someone's commenting the rap line but forgetting Maya, or vocal line and again, missing Maya. She's both! And she really deserves more recognition, her part here (also in the chorus and the no more lonely night) was beautiful ❤

Yes I talk about it in a lot of my videos - she is the bridge between vocal and rap lines. We don't have the XG we all know and love without Maya. She is vital!

Bro bro bro! It’s almost 1am here in Tokyo and I watched the premiere of this song live- THEN stayed up late to see who was going to react to it first. Luckily, yours is the first one I’ve seen. PERFECTION! The technical breakdown, the analysis of each member’s strengths, and then connecting that to each part of the song! Really cool to see this. Like you, I’m an older guy who feels a sense of wanting to protect these young ladies while marveling at their growth. 2024 - with them doing a world tour- is going to be interesting! Be sure to drink lots of water to rehydrate my man and thanks again for the reaction. おやすみなさい！

[@alexandragabitto2573]

I completely agree that Maya is the most well-rounded member in XG. Each of her talents in every category don’t have as major of a gap between them as the other girls. Her stage presence really compliments Jurin (they actually hug in the middle of the group in the MV) and Cocona of course but especially in their individual rap styles. Harvey adds to the rap line through her adlibs (vocal skatting) and that actually matters a lot more in rap/r&b than you’d think. When Harvey goes “whoa” it just hits different than the other members idk.

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

Yes 100% I meant to shout out Harvey's ad lin there but I was too busy trying not to bawl like a baby! I have discussed in at least one of my other videos (maybe X Gene or Puppet Show?) that what Maya does to bridge the vocal and rap lines, Hinata does to connect Juria and Chisa, and Harvey does to connect Jurin and Cocona. Each member has an important role and without any of them, we simply don't have XG. It's an incredibly well constructed group! 🐺❤️

Listening to WWY as a letter from their parents to their daughter, it sounded different.

In the behind-the-scenes of the MV, some of the members were seen in tears when they saw the video message from their parents as a surprise. Also, the scene at the beginning of the MV where Chisa calls out in the snowy mountains is a tribute to the film 'Love Letter', so the whole song feels like a love letter to a loved one far away.

100% agree that Maya is underrated. She’s the triple threat. She can dance, sing and rap - and does all 3 to a very high standard. I personally think she raps just as hard as Covina and Jurin - her verse on the xypher is clear evidence of that. Plus her command and diction in English is the best. However I think other girls’ tone and style of flow gives them more appeal. I also love you’re giving props to Hinata - there of XG I watch the more I understand how talented and necessary she is for the group.

[@KazBradley-lk5ux]

Cocona - not Covina. Stupid auto correct 🙄

[@KunLei_Lover]

I'm cry too 😢 your heart is so beautiful 🤍

[@jiggy1992]

I'm sure it will become a new winter staple. The track makers and producers who created this song are amazing, but as fellow Japanese, I respect these girls for moving audiences and listeners with a performance that exceeds expectations. I believe that in the near future, they will reign as top artists. I'm grateful to you for being so genuinely moved by their song, regardless of nationality. There are still many great Japanese artists out there, so I hope you'll get to know them.

Thank you! I know some people don't like pausing so I'll still pause sometimes when I feel like I need to (or I get really excited lol) but yeah the captions let me share some more and if people want to read they can or they can ignore! 😅 Thank you for sharing your thoughts on that it's always appreciated to get feedback!! 🐺❤️

Hello! I’m new to your channel and I love that you add an after-thought section at the bottom left of your videos. You’re really giving double the amount of effort and I really enjoy it!!! I agree with all of your thoughts. I also felt emotional with this song because it could metaphorically mean anything to each person. I hope you get to react to the Xtra Xtra Documentary as there are parts that will also make you feel emotional. Happy Holidays! ❄️ ☮️

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

Thank you for saying this - it really does take twice as long to go back and add the text and stuff. I take some notes while I watch and then I have to go back and find the parts I want to talk about - but I enjoy it! Glad you enjoy it too. Thank you for your support, it means so much to me. 🐺❤️

[@donnabachmann-bonnell8169]

They are wreckers. This song makes me tear up also even though I’ve seen about 60 other reactors watch it. BUT, they also make me smile each and every time I see them. Merry Christmas, hope all is good.

[@darthcygnus7692]

Maya and Chisa's singing together tape when? I would love it sooo much!

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

I wish they would release side projects like that 😭

Hey it's a very emotional song 😭 of course I understand as you can see I felt it very strongly too! Thank you for sharing. I'm so glad to have you here! 🐺❤️

[@neweyedition4485]

Tbh.. I tried not to get into my zone when I listen to this song coz I’m too easily absorb emotional and cannot get out of it. But I did gave it my all with WWY in the first take coz I know it’s gonna be another level and I just want to cry all the way! I’m so so proud of them!

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

This song is definitely powerful and the way they performed it on the First Take specifically was so moving! I obviously also got way too emotional haha so I understand. Also always just so proud of them. Thank you for sharing and for watching! 🐺❤️

[@Enshambullz]

I'm late to the party...as usual. But just had to login to comment on a great reaction! I 100% concur with everything you say about XG. I'm 53 years old, have found at least something to love about all genres of music... but I can confidently state that XG is the most talented group of humans ever assembled that I have witnessed. I truly think their magic is EVERY one of them is integral... hell vital.. to the group. I would be gutted to learn even one of them left the group for any reason. And yes.. I can't stop tracking Jurin through every video for at least the first 10 or viewings lol... but I have come to love them all. About twice a week I just settle in and watch people react to them over and over but you seem to have been affected by them just as I have. Keep up the good work and can't wait for them to release more..... also... My personal belief is this version of this song is as perfect as a song can get.

[@johnmirandilla7771]

I don’t think I’ve watched anything of what I watched today where a grown man cried so much lol… but all jokes aside, truly love your genuine reaction on XG and your detailed deconstruction of their vocal range in and out of the song. I learnt a great deal! It was an emotional roller coaster to say the least. You are completely correct about Maya, she is so underrated, and I for one have rated her fairly low in the past but not anymore. Not that she isn’t great, it’s just where do you categorise her, with all that talent around her. I feel like they are all my bias and then I change to an ultimate bias every damn song they produce lol PS You probably need to get a box of tissues though and prepare yourself when watching Xtra Xtra, that can cause some emotional damage lol

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

I am scared of the documentary lol. Maya is special and I'm glad she's shining now! She may not be the "strongest" in any one category but she is so well balanced in a way nobody else is. She's the ace and she is vital to the finished product we all love. I could talk about XG for days lol. Anyway thank you for sharing and watching! 🐺❤️

[@johnmirandilla7771]

@@ChainReactionsChannel I’m not much of a cryer, and believe you me, there were some tear jerkers there for sure. Thank God I was watching on my own, they would have seen me in a mess lol 👀 I agree, Maya is indeed a special one she’s just like a Swiss Army knife I feel. Not taking anything away from the rest of the girls though, they are all super talented. I can’t actually pick a favourite out of all the favourites. I just wish they had more recognition though, which really gets to me.

[@ChainReactionsChannel]

@@johnmirandilla7771 I agree with you, I don't pick a bias because like you said it would change with every song or dance performance lol. I think they're going to get the game and success, they're just that good , they're inevitable!
