The track will be released the day after their final first world tour performance
Hip-hop/R&B-inspired girl group XG held their Osaka concert over the weekend as part of their world tour, XG 1st World Tour ‘The First Howl’, at Osaka-Jo Hall.
During the March 15 show, Maya and Cocona performed “Show You Can,” a track featured on the Korean compilation album Street Woman Fighter 2 (SWF2) Crew Songs, released in 2023. Osaka fans were thrilled as the song was performed for the first time on the world tour.
At the end of the show, a surprise announcement revealed that XG would release their new song, “Million Places,” on May 14th, the day of their Tokyo Dome tour finale, in both CD box and digital formats. “Million Pieces” reflects XG’s journey across the globe, capturing precious moments spent with fans throughout their world tour. Inspired by the love they experienced in cities, crossing cultures and borders, the song portrays a special journey shared between XG and their fans, transcending distance and nationality.
As the Tokyo Dome performance approaches, anticipation grows for the emotional stage and the heartfelt message of love that XG will deliver.
XG’s first world tour began in May last year with performances in Japan. The tour will continue with additional March shows in China (Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu) and April performances in Latin America (São Paulo, Mexico City) before culminating in the Tokyo Dome finale on May 14th. The tour spans 47 shows across 35 cities worldwide.
Under the direction of XGALX’s representative and executive producer Jakops, this release reimagines XG’s hit songs in unexpected genres such as Jersey Club, Big Room, Future House, Trance, Piano House, and Hard Rock, breaking new ground in music. The album has ranked on Apple Music’s Top Songs charts in 15 countries and regions, including Japan at No.1, and also secured the No.1 spot on iTunes’ Dance charts in the U.S., Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore.
Themes such as “wolves,” “space,” “cells,” “expansion,” “evolution,” “destruction,” and “awe”—which have been central to XG’s previous works—are woven throughout the project. The Visualizer for the release, which embodies XG’s avant-garde worldview and their vision for ‘X-POP,’ has received widespread praise from audiences both in Japan and internationally.
