hey Jeff 💚in this interview with apple music they explain that in the MV it's them landing on earth and having fun exploring!!! They have their own Xg world and landed on earth with tgif and new dance! :) Here's the link to the video : kzread.info/dash/bejne/lpig09malrnaaNY.htmlsi=hUXIRq0i5v_pmXIU
Cocona has had minor singing parts in Shooting Star, GRL GVNG, and TGIF but in NEW DANCE she really came through with the melodic rap and singing! She has such a powerful low tone in her voice! Also it’s totally fine to have difficulty picking a bias lol so many ALPHAZ just give up on picking a bias. Love the reaction Jeff!!! Thanks for supporting our Xtraordinary Girls!

@@jab1073 Who knows what It’ll be like. I see it as a two tracks that can be good on their own but seamlessly transition into one another. Their concept suggests it’ll be that way. All I know is it’ll still be fire!
Cocona and Maya for me are the aces of the group, very good dancers, singers, charimastic performers and their speciality rap, such talented group overall.

Cocona’s tone gives me chills
Cocona’s tone is so good!!!
Cocona is an excellent vocalist, it's just that she loves Rap
Cocona did sing a little bit in Shooting Star but if you watch their Xtra series you will see that she has a beautiful sultry voice.

Right ? She was my fav since day one and I was confused about the fact that shes wasnt that popular. This girl is too talented to be slept on
Guys futuristic fashion, but thats not the only thing. This is SO HARAJUKU STREET STYLE INSPIRED 🥰 As an OG japanese fashion lover it's so nice to see they are also cherishing their culture!
It has already been said that the mv was recorded in Okinawa and you can tell immediately by the anti-tsunami wall where the girls are sitting
C to the O-C-O-N-A ! 🔥🔥
Cocona’s voice is so beautiful. I’d love to hear her more and I hope this starts with her having more singing parts.
I love it when it’s Cocona’s part, you look at the camera like a parent who’s so proud of their daughter! I feel you! 😂 I don’t know how you guys can pick a bias, i love all of them, I love XG!!!🎉
Thank you for appreciating Cocona 😭 I’m so happy she’s getting recognized for her talents ✨ She’s an ace for sure! Along side Maya 🥰
Cocona really out here being the latest Golden Maknae and I am so here for it. 🙌🏻
I am very excited for this mini album cause each song so far has a different vibe in sound, GIRL GVNG being a more hiphop vibe, and TGIF is more house music, very edm esque vibes, and now with NEW DANCE this is very groovy pop y2k vibes.
This goes to show that XG and XGALX has the blueprint for everything. This is just a taste of the things to come. They can give us hard hitting tracks, but they can slow down too and it will still hit it's mark beautifully. Cocona's been teasing us with her vocal flavors since the earlier interviews and guestings and in Xtra Xtra too. Her tone is smooth and easy to listen too. Much like Hinata's. But with the huskiness. Amy's been lowkey wrecking me. Ugh. These girls don't know how to miss a step. All of their tracks are fire. But these right here. Eargasmic ❤
Cocona and Maya dropped a rap song the day before New Dance was released!! Not sure why the XG channel is not promoting it. I think it's because it's for street women fighter. Look it up though! It's called Show You Can! A play on the word Shoryuken! They absolutely kill it. They wrote the lyrics!

I'm in love with Cocona and her vocals and I´m happy to find another person going crazy over it hahaha. So glad she has a chance to shine in all of the categories, an all rounder, no less. Overall wonderful song, my fav from the album so far
Japanese ALPHAZ has already identified the location of Okinawa in X and posted the local photos.
jeff keep on repeating cocona vocal part is a MOOD 🤣 but UNDERSTANDABLE
cocona's voice ❤❤❤❤
This made me so happy hearing Baby Girl getting to sing more. She has been my bias from the beginning.
cocona won singing competition when she was kid, but her love to rapping just bigger
I think the scene with the wave splashing up and Juria reacting to it is a real surprise to her and they just used the footage for the video. 😂 Great timing and reaction!
Hi Jeff thank you as always you are the best brother. The video was filmed in Okinawa.
My bias is MAYA and COCONA too. Anyway, SimonPD likes to check xg's reaction Video,so he maybe watch your reaction.😂😂👽❤
#XG Xploring different locations on 🌏 This one was filmed in Okinawa, the concrete city; noticed that every building is of brutalist concrete architecture 😊
JEFFF!! i love you i love you for appreciating cocona's singing voice here! I'm also very addicted to her part here 😭
Hi 👋🏽 Jeff, this just confirmed to me that XG is the Dream Team. Simon, their Executive Producer is an absolute genius knowing what type of music would give us that Sunny Summer Vacation Nostalgic feel. 🏖️🌊☀️ This MV was filmed in Okinawa, Japan. I’m so happy they got to be home even for a few days. They needed a celebratory break because they burned up the Live Stages in the US. I love ❤️ XG’s “New Dance” Song. Thank you for taking the time out to support and share your Reaction. 🙋🏻♀️🇺🇸🐺
Cocona and Maya are definitely the full package of this group. Literally can do anything. And the funny thing is they're the youngest of the group.
I get you, Jeff! I love Maya so much, she’s amazing, I love her voice, her rap, she’s such a sweet person. And Cocona is just showing off that she can do everything and be good at everything hahahaha I love these girls 💜
Yeiiiii your reaction!!!!! Tahnk you so muhc
Yasss, right before those MVs dropped, I was thinking like, Is it gonna be the Cocona part or the Chisaa part? cause, sorry, I had never realized Cocona had sung parts in other tracks. And OMG, I'm absolutely hooked on Cocona's part - her tone and those mindblowing melodies, like aaa
I love Cocona's singing voice. The mv was giving me aliens who visited Earth and learned a new dance. It's so nostalgic and gave me Nelly Ride wit u vibes.
they bubble to earth from there ship to party and have fun and then bubble back to the ship.

@@JeffAvenuethey visited earth and learned a new dance, if you notice at the end, they left cocona vibing on the beach but then went after them back to their planet💗
The highlights of this video is COCONA for me😊😊😊
Dear Jeff. It was great to see your reaction to the new XG MV. I was glad that others liked what Cocona did with her voice, that is, how she sang. I also stopped and replayed those parts countless times because she has an incredibly beautiful voice. I hope Simon will use this in the next songs as well. Of course, Cocona is rap itself, as if she was born for it. However, it was extremely good to hear his voice in this lovely song with a good tone. For me, Chisa is my bias because of her wonderful voice and beauty, of course the other girls are also amazingly beautiful and special one by one. Cocona is a very special individual and I always pay close attention to her. Once again, thank you very much for your reaction, I always look forward to your video about my favorite kpop groups, here from Hungary.

Cocona certified bias slayer im tellin' you
This song is really simple, not mindblowing, but you can't stop vibing to the song and sing along "I just learned a new dance, new dance, new dance..."
Oh yes my bias is Cocona,Maya and Jurin ,having 2 or more than 2 bias that’s no problem 😌..My favourite parts from the song is sang by cocona and Chisa ❤
Don't worry, you're not alone. I can't count the amount of times I've replayed Cocona's parts. It just sounds so good!
this song is just eargasm all through out!
It’s shot in Okinawa, Japan!
Love XG ❤
Just call it the maknae line bias. Lol
Thank you for always providing wonderful reaction videos. We also appreciate your love for XG. COCONA’s part is ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Cocona reminded me of Mark! How they rap, how they dance and how they sing!!! ALL-ROUNDER THINGS!!!
Thank you for good reaction! Movie shooted in Okinawa,Japan!
XG was interviewed a few days ago. They said that Girl's Gang means "birth," TGIF means "expansion," and New Dance has the hidden meaning of "exploration." Is the upcoming title track "puppet show"? I wonder what it will be.
XG is increasingly proving they can pull off any genre, truly a dream team.
Looking forward to your reaction to maya and cocona’s newest release called SHOW YOU CAN 😀

Not a release really, SWF2 OST. 😁😎
The shooting location is Okinawa, Japan.
LOL ok I thought I was crazy for replaying Cocona's part so much, like damn what kinda crack did they put in her tone? Glad other people are also hearing it
1:20 Ok, this is a ship because it has a park break. They have a lot of communication options. I was thinking why they need so many buttons? Do they need to comunicate with other ships? Maybe with the ship with trainees we saw in the Simon Instagram account? But they're with GRL GVNG suits, so are they already on earth? ok stop xd 1:24 They teletransported to earth by bubbles. Cute. 1:25 Juria and Jurin are Mowalola fans xd 2:00 Juria was scared of the sea (Did she know the sea?) 2:54 Peanut Buttercup (TGIF video) right there in the wall 3:04 my gosh Hinata's laugh 3:23 light (sun? Chisa?) - butterfly (Jurin) - Space (galaxies) - XG eyes 3:58 "...rius mistery circle was found in the ... " WHAT 4:17 Why did she get serious? because suddenly she was alone? But next she was happy to return to the ship
Cocona!!!🎉❤❤❤
cocona kinda sounded like JB from early debut. ❤ JB = justin bieber

Nice reactions. They are the best GRL GVNG ever! I think their concept is still futuristic, alien, and Y2K combined together. The people behind really made it work
Just vibes on vibes 🔥🔥🔥
Your reaction to the mv first time was exactly mine 😂 i could not stop vibing, but what else do we expect from xg except the best vibes?
I cant stop obssesing over Cocona's vocals too lol ITS SOOO GOOD
I think Juria is sitting at the control center of their spacecraft/name-letter-emblem under the water. It is in the near the last shot as it rises close to the surface and calls for Cocona to teleport aboard.
Have you listened to the song “Show you Can” by Cocona and Maya? They did it for the girls fighting dance show. They KILLED that rap song.

Street Woman Fighter 2, Korean Dance crew competition show, They Rap for "Show You Can" for Japanese dance crew TsubaKill who are also phenomenal! ❤
Love your reaction ❤❤❤
16:36 Of course you can have 2 biases in the group ! I have 7, so... 😅
1. I saw a Japanese creator say it looked like Okinowa 2. TLC and TRL (total request live) both work 3. i think they have so many concept ideas they dont even know what to do with them all, like in Shooting Star when we saw the usagi masks for like 1 second, and then never again. next verse Cocona is on a conveyer belt and theyre loading packages. why? no idea, they were done with that concept too. 4. if not Chisa, Cocona might legit have the best singing voice too; best rapper, best dancer, best singer. in a group with crazy levels of talent. and shes 16. makes no sense. (singing/rapping at 13 = kzread.infoj-i5f53m1uA) 5. Jurin is so beautiful. 6. would a new listener who knew nothing about the group ever guess that English is their 3rd language? i doubt it. 7. the editing in this is so much more patient than we usually get with XG, it holds so much longer, its really nice, it feels more like were there

Jurin is SO gorgeous 😍
She definitely sang in Shooting star, not rly sure about the rest. If you watch the Xtra Xtra Docu series, cocona actually won a singing competition before being scouted!
This slayed ❤❤❤❤
TRL was that show on MTV hosted by Carson Daly with the top 10 music video countdown!! so still a valid acronym if that's what you meant; TLC was featured on the show multiple times haha
So here's my idea of the lore: So in Shooting Star, they were still in their planet but it got destroyed, so they escaped on their spaceship and that's where they did Left and Right. Then they had to hibernate while waiting to find a nice planet they can land on. In Girl Gang, they found earth so they started waking up. They landed on earth on a Friday, but people were like TGIF!, And they were like, that probably means Thank God I'm Fly. So after that, they explored the city and learned a New Dance. But they don't have an apartment yet so they still go home to their space ship. Their space ship landed on the ocean, that's why Cocona was in the ocean at the end. The pose was the passcode to the door which is a water bubble.
LOL Jeff i always say the same about I hope we get a teleportation device in my lifetime
12:41 Cocona is to XG what Jungkook is to BTS. The genius maknae. She excels in everything she does. Rap, dance, singing... there is nothing Cocona can't do. She is truly impressive !
They are always such a vibe no matter what kind of song they're singing, seriously amazing performers and artists
Same! I love Cocona's tone and vocals! She's such a precious child like I just wanna put her in my pocket she's too adorable in this mv and song.
The girls teleport with the bubbles. Cocona teleported to their ship/base.

Nice reaction 👍🏻 This song make me feel like back to school time😂 Cocona in JP = 心響 ,it means ‘sound for/of heart’ , so her sound can arrive to heart 😊 Btw My bias is Hi~chan❤
Check out their live performance on KBS new dance they slayyyd 😊🎉
this songs' bridge omfg love it!!!
Don’t miss their Show You Can from SWF2! By Maya and Cocona!
These girls are all rounders. I stan them all❤❤❤
Damn it my poor wallet. XG got me signing up to a bunch of creators’ patreon jsut to see them react to my girls 😂😂 Omg !!! I’m so happy you love coconas part as much as I did. I’m obsessed with her part. It’s so satisfying to listen to. I love love love her voice. I haven’t heard such a rich and cool alto tone since CL
my bias is all! that's my problem! undecided! i love them very much ❤ 😂😂😂😂😂
React to SHOW YOU CAN next! It dropped a couple of days ago and it is a hip-hop/rap track by COCONA & MAYA. It got released by Mnet for the korean reality show Street Woman Fighter 2. It is definitely a must watch! Looking forward to it. :)
Cocona❤❤❤❤❤
It's filmed in Okinawa, I think.
I would imagine it was shot in Okinawa. It had a green Japanese pay phone.
the concept is basically that they are alien that landed on earth (GRL GVNG), then expand (TGIF), and explore (new dance)... the futuristic white building is probably their base on earth, so the teleport between that and different places on earth.. to have fun etc...
I LOVE YOU XG!!! Today their dance practice was up down to youtube and
Love your reactions. 😊
This was such a feel good song! I cant stop vibing to it.
