The game became to be often played on Nana, another popular voice&song sharing platform MixChannel, Twitter and YouTube users around late 2017[2], which popularity was enough to be covered by online media.[3] Particularly, participation of many Virtual YouTubers since 2018 has increase its presence among otaku people who aren't familiar with those non-otaku SNS. According to a press release by Nana Music in December 2018, its service hosted over 18,000 posts tagged under "Jagariko Interview" at that point, and these had been played more than 800,000 times in total.[4]
On January 28th, 2018, Japanese video game developer Atlus published special movies that the voice actors for Persona 5 Yusuke Kitagawa and Futaba Sakura challenge the Jagariko Interview (Shown below).[5][6] These were made for an official collaboration campaign with Calbee, Japanese food manufacturing company producing Jagariko, and this Futaba's version soon turned into a popular source material for lip-sync videos on TikTok.[7]
Meanwhile, the background music of the game, "Trance Pop3", was originally provided for Nana exclusive use by Japanese musical instruments retailer Shimamura Gakki.[8] On March 23rd, 2018, the company published a blog post[9] and asked to give a notation of the music provider's name in the song's use outside of Nana. They also require users to contract the song's licence in advance except for non-commercial purpose.
