Online Presence

Due to each of the musical acts being known within their relative circles, it wasn't long before a full musical cast list was assembled with a sample of each one's music. This video was put together and uploaded by the YouTube channel Peopipeo^[2] on March 7th, 2022, a full two weeks before the live premiere of the first round in late March, earning 43,000 views in two weeks (shown below).
