I loved the review from your perspective! I would love to see a video at the end of your process for your group! That sounds amazing. This episode is a bit messy and leaves more questions than answers. The next episode does better fleshing out the process. Thank you for another great reaction. So many points I agree with, I’m glad they waited to debut until a bit older, and I also find myself agreeing with Simon’s mindset on all of it.

Also I lived in Alabama for about 3 years in my early 20’s. Roll Tide. Such a small world.

Thank YOU so much for taking the time to watch these and comment your perspective as well! It is one of the great reasons I enjoy making content is to interact with people who really love groups like this and want to guide me to better understand them!

I'm really enjoying getting your perspective on this! I think the one worry that I have when recommending XTRA XTRA is that some people don't understand the process and the rationale behind what's going on and come away with a "Simon is mean" take. They may still like XG, but not understand why some parts of the training were necessary. Hearing your take on it, based on your experience, helped to make some of the insights I had gotten from the show more concrete. It was interesting how often you talked about something that Simon then came on and expressed shortly thereafter. I never thought of XTRA XTRA as a case study exactly, but thinking back over it now, I think you're going to get a lot of what you're looking for out of it. I hope so anyway! I'll definitely be curious to hear your thoughts, as we go along, on what you feel is working and what feels off (and which things you might adopt in the future, if anything) . There are lots of interesting things in each episode to talk about. XTRA XTRA is a roller coaster. XX is kind of the friendly intro, but there's a lot more to go. Taking breaks is highly recommended - I completely agree with your idea of not binging the episodes, tempting though it may be. (For most of the initial roll-out of XTRA XTRA, episodes were coming out bi-weekly and in-between, M-Net's M2 channel was releasing XG's first reality show, 3 Meals a Day, which was a very funny and light-hearted break from the riveting but sometimes stressful things going on in XTRA XTRA) When we're done, I'd love to see a video about the process you're going through with your group!

Thank you for the reassurance with not watching all of it in one sitting haha😂 I am excited to take a deeper look at the whole process!

Good idea to definitely take time between episodes! And wow, seeing you call things ahead before it gets spoken of is very interesting lol. You really might be a Simon bias hahaha

XGALX is a label of avex, a large multimedia company in Japan - they do music, anime/video, and events (like concerts). To your point about being a fan of Simon and the way he is approaching his mission, rather than just XG, avex definitely has the same thought that they are looking for Simon to build this as a repeatable process - in their "avex vision 2027" presentation from 5/2022, the company noted : "XG, the first group from the XGALX Project / A global-level development system was introduced for global artists from Japan ... As the project is designed to be continuous, we are already training some groups to follow".

Love to see that! This also means we get to see more documentaries like this one in the future from other groups! How exciting!

It said the video is private and unavailable when I clicked on it. Is there another link I should use?
