Casio America, Inc. on Tuesday announced the appointment of the internationally acclaimed hip hop/R&B girl group XG as the global ambassador for the G-SHOCK brand of shock-resistant watches.
Known for its bold music and powerful performances, XG consists of seven members: JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA, and COCONA. The name XG stands for “Xtraordinary Girls,” reflecting their commitment to empowering people from all walks of life around the world through a genre-defying style that breaks conventions. With a strong global following, especially among younger people, XG is rising as a new force in international music and culture.
Having pioneered a new music genre called “X-Pop,” XG is breaking away from the conventions of J-pop and K-pop to create a style of their own. This spirit of originality and strength closely aligns with G-SHOCK, a unique brand known for its toughness, shock resistance, and distinctive design — making XG a natural choice as the brand’s global ambassador.
To celebrate the partnership, a special website will showcase key visuals and a promotional video featuring XG. Centered around the slogan “No Destination,” the video portrays XG boldly stepping into a new world with G-SHOCK, expressing the strength to shape one’s future without fear or hesitation. Art direction came from YAR, the creative team led by YOSHIROTTEN — one of Japan’s most promising rising artists — and delivered a bold and energetic visual experience.
“G-SHOCK watches always remind us of how we never gave up on chasing our dreams, even when things got tough.” Said XG. “It gives us the courage to keep going and keep challenging ourselves. XG-SHOCK, let’s go!”
Additional key visuals and content will be released over time as G-SHOCK continues to share its world in collaboration with XG.
