XG Talk About First Time Performing for Their Alphaz in America, Their Docuseries & More | Billboard News

XG talk about their first time performing in America, meeting their U.S. Alphaz, their docuseries, their unique group concept as a Japanese girl group performing in English, and more!

XG:
Hi we’re XG and you’re watching Billboard News.

Maya:
It was such an incredible moment being able to meet our U.S. Alphaz for the very first time as well as performing in the U.S. for the very first time. The energy was amazing, we had so much fun, we felt so alive after the whole performance and we were just really grateful for the fact that we had this opportunity and it was an amazing experience, so yeah, words can’t describe how grateful we are, so thank you so much.

Hinata:
It was our first performance in Japan and we were really welcomed by a lot of ALPHAZ and even showed us cards saying, “Welcome Back XG!” It was really heartwarming and we were really grateful for that. We had an amazing and exciting performance, so it was really great.

Jurin:
We are Japanese, based in Korea, singing in English. We understand it makes us a unique group. Our goal is to reach as many people as possible, so we learned English and Korean. We have a strong desire to reach out to a lot of people and we hope that we can accomplish our goals.

Jurin:
We express the relationship between the seven of us as “HESONO O” in Japanese. It represents a connection that continues and symbolizes a family tied to an umbilical cord. I think the backstory to that phrase is revealed in the documentary, so we hope the ALPHAZ can pick up on that.
