So, I got the digisleeve version of the album recently. Since I usually play the CD on my player, I have to carefully take it out of the sleeve every time so I don’t scratch it. So, I just popped it into a clear jewel case instead for some convenience.

But then I realized the plain jewel case looked a bit boring, so I decided to jazz it up myself with a little DIY. Honestly, my craftmanship skill isn't that great, but I think it turned out alright.

I’m a graphic designer and I decided to sneak in a little XG promo onto our website lol. Put The Core album/Hypnotize preview on radio dash hahahahaha.

!!!Please excuse the terrible photos!!!

For any wondering, I ordered the XL version of the hoodie.

Edit2 for an important piece of info: I added a picture in the comments because the material listed on the shop page doesn't match the tag on the hoodie itself.

My thoughts on sizing, as a 6'1" 225lbs (102kg) man:

As you can see in the second image I compared it to a North American L hoodie, they are pretty close in lengths. The sleeves are slightly longer on the XGALX hoodie, but the hem lines (?) are virtually the same. Unfortunately I don't have the measurements for the other hoodie.

In the third photo I have it against a L jacket which I do have the advertised measurements for:

* Body length: 72cm

* Shoulder width: 63cm

* Sleeve lenght: 62cm

Edit: I did do a test fit. It is pretty much a large, by my experience, but I unfortunately don't have any other NA XL stuff to compare it to. It does fall in line with the couple of Japanese XL jackets I do have that fit like a NA L.

The XGALX hoodie is baggy as advertised. There's a few extra inches of material around the arms and chest/stomach, but fits closer at the hips. There is a draw string in the hem to draw it tightly.

The hood is very large. When on, the brim (?) hangs down to the tip of my nose.

Note: the interior of the material is very rough/scratchy. I'm hoping a good wash will soften it up. Edit3: it did not

my blorbos on the dash + cocona bag

can’t believe it’s been about 2 months since I’ve fallen in love with XG
Y’all I luv the members’ energy & authenticity <3 What struck me especially was the amount of love & acceptance that cocona was given upon his coming out 🏳️‍⚧️🩵 trans joy is so beautiful & it will last eternally!
thank you to xg & cocona specifically on reminding me to be true to myself even when the world is scary 🏳️‍⚧️🩵
I cannot WAIT until they announce their US dates & I cannot wait to celebrate with other ALPHAZ!!!
anyways ranting blurb over lol

I know I have listened more minutes than this if you could YouTube plays. I was actually surprised that New Dance was my #1 played song, more than Left Right.

This joint is Crazy!!!🔥🔥 Who did the choreography?

I purchased a size XXL. I usually will order a size US XL or XXL if I want an oversized jacket look. This fits perfectly. I especially love the double zipper! As someone with wide hips, I hate zipping up jackets, they’re always some wear ballooning going on at the bottom. The hood is big and oversized and there are thumb holes on the sleeves. The inside material is more of a terry cloth or towel material, not the average fleece type lining. I washed the jacket last night as per instructions, laid flat to dry overnight and then tumbled in dryer this morning with the jacket inside out.

The starting frame from Rock The Boat matches up with the thumbnail from Hypnotize !!

Didn't know it was a sample till I randomly stumbled upon it.

Impatiently waiting for the world tour dates. Lol hopefully they'll drop soon

I agree that they should have exclusive content for the app if they're going to charge people and they do. but putting content that's historically meant for the YouTube behind a paywall is just foul. especially at a time where their fan base needs to see them smiling and having fun. they used to upload content all the time and now we'll go a month without anything, now this? AVEX is showing their colors with this greedy move.

You know it's an issue when a staple within the community like XGprincess has to speak out against it. Putting Xtra XG videos behind a paywall is a bad sign of what's to come. When companies make decisions that is detrimental to the group or their fan base it needs to be called out. There are plenty of micro transactions that they make money off of, but this content is sacred and there is no justifiable reason to do this to their fans.
