History
[edit]Beatcats was created by both Sanrio and Sega Toys as their third collaborative effort. Unlike its previous collaborations, which are meant to develop into their own Animated series and Manga, the franchise more dabbles into the music scene and made the characters a five-member virtual group.[2] The aim for the new franchise is to appeal towards both the elementary and junior high school demographic, with "fashionable, cute and cool" appeal and "energetic dance and songs to encourage the feelings of excitement, love and friendship."[3]
Sega Toys and Sanrio worked together alongside music company Pony Canyon for the band's songs and vocals. The companies aim to release both songs and dance videos related to the group through social media, in hopes to resonate with the teen demographic and to build a world and lore around the group.[2] Sega Toys also announced a smartphone game app for various mobile platform as well as release a variety of products and merchandise revolving around the group.[1]
The group officially debuted on October 8, 2020, with their debut digital single which streams on several licensed music streaming sites, including Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music.[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
