In an eagerly anticipated return to the Japanese media spotlight, the 7-member Hip Hop/R&B sensation, XG, is set to grace the 390th episode of “THE FIRST TAKE” tonight at 22:00. The group, having only made their debut last week, is already making waves on both national and international stages.
In the past year, XG has become a global phenomenon, participating in a series of overseas festivals, including “Head In The Clouds New York,” “Head In The Clouds Los Angeles,” “KCON LA 2023,” “FORMULA1 SINGAPORE AIRLINES SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX 2023,” “SXSW Sydney,” and “HYPEROUND K-FEST ABU DHABI.” The pinnacle of their international success came on November 26th when they held their first solo live performance at the Pia Arena MM in Yokohama, Japan. The event garnered overwhelming attention, with over 200,000 ticket applications received.
Their debut appearance on “THE FIRST TAKE” last week featured the hit single “SHOOTING STAR,” generating significant buzz among fans and music enthusiasts alike.
For their second appearance tonight, XG is poised to showcase their latest masterpiece, “WINTER WITHOUT YOU,” released on December 8th. This Winter R&B track delicately captures the sentiments of longing and nostalgia associated with spending Christmas away from loved ones. Unlike their signature edgy style, “WINTER WITHOUT YOU” allows viewers to savor the ensemble of the seven members’ personalities and beautiful harmonies. The special one-take recording on “THE FIRST TAKE” will mark the inaugural performance of this heartwarming track on Japanese media.
XG’s rise to prominence continues to captivate audiences globally, and their unique blend of Hip Hop and R&B promises a memorable performance on “THE FIRST TAKE” tonight. Tune in at 22:00 to witness the magic unfold as XG once again takes center stage, enchanting viewers with their soulful rendition of “WINTER WITHOUT YOU.”
