## History

The planning history dates back to October 2022, when TimothyTheSpartan made the first demo version of "Reach For The Stars", starring Cash Cash and Tomoya Ohtani. UranusTheWrapper proposed that it will be the main theme song starting January 1, 2023.

On December 2022, the music video started its first development phase. Meanwhile, the JT Time Catcher staff are preparing for the 2022 Christmas Specials and the 2023 New Year Special, leading to a sudden halt in the production. It was later delayed and instead the date was adjusted.

On December 31, 2022, the New Chapter Special started with the new year special "Reaching for the Stars this 2023". That event also included music jams, announcements, discussions, and plans.

On January 4, 2023, JT Time Catcher Podcast was the first ever series to include the futuristic, neon theme and the logo animation of Reach For The Stars. Other series followed after that. The futuristic theme also got featured in the JT Time Catcher's February Trailer on February 12, 2023.

Days later, on February 26, 2023, after two months, it was publicly announced that the first music video of "Reach for the Stars" is almost finished, and it was expected to release on March 4.

After the music video's launch, it introduced a "multi-livestream opening" that broadcast simultaneously on YouTube, Twitch and Facebook. It is divided into two parts.

On August 9, 2023, over 5 months after the release of the first Music Video, JT Time Catcher announced its first logo change since June 4, 2022. Two days later, on August 11, the media company also announced the release of the second music video with the same name "Reach for the Stars", which was expected to release on August 19 at midnight, exactly a day after the sixth anniversary of JT Time Catcher.

## Trivia

*To avoid spoilers, some information may not be included.*

* "Reach For The Stars" Station ID was supposed to release on January 1, 2023, but due to private reasons, it was released on **March 4** instead.
* For the Multi-livestream Opening, TimothyTheSpartan was supposed to operate the Part 1 stream, but due to the circumstances, he operated the Part 2. As a result, UranusTheWrapper operates the stream for the first part.
* As a result of a rushed preparation followed by technical difficulties, The first part of the multistream took an approximately **25 minutes** to fully start, with people reported that they can't hear anything on some parts of the stream.
* Unlike the first music video, the second music video was premiered **12 hours** after the anniversary stream, which took place on August 18.
* The August 2023 logo resembled the June 2022 logo, making it a minor logo change. Some other logos of JTTC may resemble the previous logo, but **doesn't mean** it's always a minor change.
* The first and the second MV can be hard to compare (due to the music's similarity), but some changes were made. (examples: The second MV is longer in duration than the first, some JTTC series were (not) included between the two, etc.)
* The second MV was released **without** delays.
