The LAST XG REACTION - WOKE UP

[@AnthonyRay]

UPDATE: I got a strike for this reaction by the distribution team of XG. I told them to take me to court and said I would fight them. This was via KZbin Counter Notification process. They DROPPED the strike. We won. However I will no longer post XG on this channel but I WILL KEEP SUPPORTING THEM VIA REACTIONS on THIS CHANNEL: www.youtube.com/@AnthonyRayKPOP

[@Kudejikashi]

Did you ever get a reason why you were the only one who dealt with this seems a bit odd on xgalx end

[@just_a_stupidlittlegirl]

YAYYYYY 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@hellorita24711]

I'm confused as to why you got striked. I see other reactors reacting without covering and they don't get striked. What am I missing? Love your reactions and your break downs of the songs featured!

[@rcinbow3254]

LFG

[@exzilis4714]

Just a heads up that alot of time haters will go out of their way to falsly copy strike channels for reacting to xg, it is not the first time. Companies dont back down that easy.

[@kumoniukabu]

It's unfair and infuriating that you've been sued for copyright infringement. Thank you for your support of xg so far!

[@TheBloobster]

They didn't sue him, he threatened to sue them if they wouldn't remove the strike he got. But yea, its annoying af they went after him at all

[@yukis4559]

That's so sad😭😭😭 You're my favorite XG reactor. Every time they drop something, I always looked forward to see your reaction... 😢🇯🇵

[@KeemV]

Sub to his other channel he will still be making reactions there he said in the description

[@jofx1027]

You've been down with XG since the beginning and we are thankful for the love and support you have for the girls. I hope what happened won't dishearten you to keep on supporting them.

[@aslanlnyx]

fr it's avex fault anyways 😔

[@corazonsalangad9680]

Best gg rap I’ve heard by far. I’m a new XG fan and this one is reallllyyyyy good 🔥

[@VW20-bq9in]

How new? Check out Tape series and Documentary and Xtra XG if you haven't yet.

[@たく-d3u]

いつもxgありがとう！🎉

[@K9WoofWoof]

I’m sad that Avex gave you a strike and you won’t be posting XG anymore, but thanks for still supporting them ❤

[@Levascue]

He'll be posting; but on his K-Pop reaction channel. 😊

[@K9WoofWoof]

@@Levascueohh thanks didn’t know that! 😁

[@Levascue]

@@K9WoofWoof You're welcome 😊

[@doraemon8975]

On that Chanel was when he started to do XG's music, i still think that strike was something Xgalx did'nt know, because the are rector friendly

[@SabreNation1]

@@doraemon8975 It's so weird, honestly wish there was some way AR could reach out to Simon or someone close to Simon. Something feels off about this, like he was targeted for some weird reason. Dozens of reactions to this song, hundreds - maybe thousands - of XG reactions across the catalog and only this one gets a copy strike? XG is usually SUPER reactor friendly, hell Maya and Harvey even shouted out the reactors in Two Tens. Feels like some weirdo at Avex had a grudge or something.

[@RaeRaeRahhh]

I’m glad you’re back to XG 🤘👏

[@zixuan3394]

You are my top 3 reactor for XG, it’s sad to know your situation.

[@brian_mighty9663]

Harvey second verse, “call me Harvey but not your Barbie…” on the galz xypher tape 2 , Harvey says” I’m Harvey not Harley cause I ain’t no joke” Harlequin is the Joker girlfriend, but the same actress that plays Harlequin in the suicide squad movie plays Barbie in the Barbie movie

[@VW20-bq9in]

She said Harvey the real Harley but yes Margot Robbie played both Harley Quinn and Barbie. Hinata was also giving off Harley Quinn vibes during one of the music shows.

[@doraemon8975]

The truth is, the situation with this reaction remains a mystery, because today, a month after the song was released, reactions to "Woke Up" are still being uploaded to KZbin without any consequences, although thinking about it it is not so much a mystery, Since this reaction was carried out in a live stream for about four hours receiving donations and tips and that could be perceived as the creator receiving economic benefit from the MV, so I believe that is where the strike came from.

[@sanseiryu]

I watched that livestream as well and was worried that you might get blocked. XGALX generally leaves reactors alone as they want XG content to being introduced to as many people as possible. I don't see many companies telling fans to come to their concerts and record video and sound and post it to social media. I'm sorry you had this experience, because you are an incredible reactor , great knowledge about music and rap/hip hop, sharing that knowledge and breaking it down for us. I will follow you at your other channel.

[@417fga]

This is the most logical answer

[@Nownonblonde]

It’s 100% the live stream where he gets donations that causes the flag. There are a lot of other reactions posted but they aren’t receiving donations for their posts on YT. If streaming and receiving donations, posting on Patreon will avoid that or editing out the donation portions for YT will avoid the flags.

[@Nownonblonde]

That said, LOVE the reaction! So fun and appreciate the rap breakdown

[@dynasheen7892]

Thank you for always supporting XG sir 💯

[@Abi3-il5un]

Thanks for keep supporting XG, waiting so long for you reaction 😩👏🔥🔥

[@さおり-n3x4o]

XGのリアクションを見るのが好きです！ いつもありがとう！

[@kt-wd1eu]

I was hoping to see this video, so I'm happy.I am well aware that you have supported XG so far.I like your reaction to XG.Mr. simon is pleased with XG's reaction, so I don't know why you were sued.I want to see your reaction to XG in the future.From ALPHAZ in Japan.

[@TWICE_Queenz33]

He wasn't sued. He's not supposed to react to WOKE UP during livestream

[@rebekahpenha543]

Omg i love you reactions to XG

[@Marin-y6u]

I watched this reaction the very first minute it got posted thank you so much for reuploading this dope reaction despite the risk.

[@zack_reacts]

Here for this!

[@I_LOVE_NMIXX..ITZY..Red_Velvet]

Hey !!

[@bn6244]

glad you got it resolved!! it's a mystery why you and no one else. love your reacts and breakdowns

[@KRapPsychic]

Live stream monetization most probably, or distribution of it in a restricted market. XGALX/AVEX holds the copyrights. They can legally permit the use. KZbin has algorithms that can find uploaded copyright content, and take it down based on the copyright holders contract. If the record company that created XG can't make money, there is no XG. Other reactors don't live stream, they edit and post. In copyright laws there are performing rights and publishing rights, with other limitations, like exclusive distribution agreements based on Country or Region. I like this reactors love for XG, but he is walking a thin line on this issue it seems. Part of the reason XG decided to be based out of Korea is because their IP, CopyRight, and Broadcast laws are less restrictive in global distribution than in Japan, that is why Jpop didn’t grow internationally despite being big in Japan and a bigger music market than Korea, where K-pop did because Korea wanted to do soft Korean cultural exports because it helps pull through demand for manufactured Chaebol products from the likes of Samsung, LG, Hyundai, etc. I know someone who won a Grammy in the World music category, but she made no money off of it, because writhin 24 hours 0f winning the Grammy, it was pirated and spread around the world over the internet, and she did not have the resources or large agency behind her to pursue all the IP thefts internationally, legally.

[@Nofritary]

Dude... I'm crying. Thank you for reacting. I was waiting!

[@dkk4678]

I’ve watched so many of your XG reactions and they’re all great! You really do catch a lot of things others don’t and I love how you will sometimes pause and google up the answers like when you googled pirellis and then gained new respect for the chorus of Left Right. Definitely subscribing to you and will be checking out your other stuff. Great work

[@maiteevee]

That free style on the end was fire lol

[@kiitos3191]

あなたのXGのリアクションが男性のリアクターの中で1番好きなのに😢愛の深さを分かってるからこそ悔しいです。 また会えることを願っています。

[@かおる-n7v]

私もそうでした。 楽しみの一つだったのに残念です。 いつかまた会いたいですね😢

[@KeemV]

He will be posting on his other channel in his descriptions

[@Rensaic]

I'm glad I got to see this reaction. One of my favorite reactors. I'll be following you on your alt channels. ❤❤❤

[@reedle413]

I can tell how much you support XG. The mv for "SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT" will be released next Friday. I'm so sorry that I couldn't watch the songs with you. I also support your activities. From ALPHAZ in Japan.

[@love_laugh_troll1832]

Glad you’re back brotha. One love from Hawaii 🤙

[@AlphaToOmegaXG]

Thank you for supporting XG regardless of the AVEX situation brother. I’ll do my part by continuing to support you right back.

[@xxgyaruxx]

Anthony 🙏 We ALPHAZ, are blessed with your YT reactions!

[@karmaisadish]

[@StevenLarsen-vc4um]

XG started World Tour in Japan May 2024. Will be Touring in US Oct. 2024. and UK/EU Nov.2024. Dates and locations are available now.

[@gaorinxin685]

I've been watching your reactions since XG TAPE #2 until now. I hope you have a great future ahead. I will support you!

[@C.J74]

Thank you ❤

[@АлександраЗагряжская]

Thank u so much for this reaction ❤

[@vk-br1dr]

The word you were looking for was " entendre ". What Harvey did with " right away, ride the wave, right away" was a triple entendre

[@Sumo1-p8e]

Maya’s first part “A little more than ordinary” they’re XG (Extra-Ordinary) on Jurin’s last part during the school photo shoot the clock in the background was set to 5:21 (the release date of the MV) on Harvey’s last part “Floating like it’s Mardi Gras” Mardi Gras is also known as Fat Tuesday (the 21st was Tuesday)

[@松尾祐介-c1b]

あなたの解説はとても勉強になりました！🐺

[@chrislouisemelo]

At laaaaast. Nice reactions and i love your rap in the last part 👌

[@fadilzakiali8505]

XG. Thank you for reacting ❤

[@kansha4084]

XG's PD praised and commented on the reaction videos. It is highly likely that the attack was carried out by someone impersonating the company.

[@Huge_XG-Xpop_Stan]

BRO U SCARED ME!! 😭😮‍💨 I’m glad you won, AVEX was trippin! Going to sub to your Kpop channel now! 😁

[@jeannie13]

their rappers are next level one of the best in industry

[@mariale.164]

I enjoy soo much your reactions and the little freestyle you drop ❤

[@yoshikoq5289]

thank you for reacting for XG! I was waiting you !!

[@deucedaprodeuca]

The Harvey reference was for Harvey Weinstein and his 2004 movie about Barbie.

[@TWICE_Queenz33]

Her lyrics weren't a reference to thatPOSweinstein😅

[@VW20-bq9in]

It's a reference to XG Tape #2 and the fact Margot Robbie played Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad and Barbie in 2023.

[@I_LOVE_NMIXX..ITZY..Red_Velvet]

XG !! They are FANTASTIC !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Your freestyle at the end was COLD!!!

[@TdotAntiordinary]

i am very sorry to hear you got stroke, i have been watching all your XG (and some other) reaction and i enjoy them i have seen a few reacctors being hit as well but not very common. i am not sure why they are just picking random reactors to hit. you know XG girls and simon himself DO WATCH reaction videos and they dont mind it at all., its just the company. i will go to ur kpop channel to continue supporting.

[@noba_di]

I LOVE YOU.

[@ktcool4660]

Some times you get unlucky with the copy right strikes. There's 100s of reaction videos for woke up. You are the only one of few who goes deep into breaking down the rhyme schemes.
