Trimute Lands in the Plastics Song Contest

Trimute Lands participated for the first time in the 21st edition at the Plastics Song Contest, being held at Rocktown in Musiclandia. They are supported through the recent application of the country's television broadcaster, the Trimute Radio and Television Network (TRTN) into the Plastics Broadcasting Association.

Their debut with "Sidekick" by taekwondo and music group K-Tigers Zero ended up in 20th place.

In the 25th edition, the nation was represented by Block B Bastarz with their song, "Zero for Conduct", placing at 15th, their highest placement in the history of their participation in the PSC.

Prior to their debut, the head of TRTN, Ms. Lumina Tryangel, expressed interest into participating after successfully qualifying for the finals of another musical competition, and even though the country's entry placed last, her determination to invest on musical quality and coherence reached its peak, eventually placing time to participate to other musical competitions to bring the country's name into the big league.

After the finale of the 20th edition of the PSC, Tryangel submitted a very lengthy submission form, along with a significant amount of cash to pay for entry fees and other concerns to the main headquarters of the PBA, where their seat as part of the union, was confirmed last December 30th, two days before the new year.

In the 11th of January of this year, K-Tigers Zero performed at the finals of the 21th edition with the song Sidekick, performing 16th in the running order, following Vovaltik with the song "Game 4 Love" by Millo and Linna and preceding Skandinavisk Kingdom with "Power" by Ruben. At the end of voting, they ended up in 20th, with just 15 points, surpassing Callgium, Oldlandia (didn't vote at the time) and Jonanistria.

One of the members of the group, Byun Hyun Min stated that even though their group had faults in performing their high kicks, they were still able to compete fairly.

Despite placing low in the nation's debut onto the contest, Tryangel continued to hope for the best, as the network decided to send young Trimute (real-life Korean) talent, OOHYO, who previously won the musical division of the Trimute Arts Festival 2019, held last November, with her song, "Pizza". Through agreement, she will participate in with her latest entry in her discography, "Butter Chicken", which recently topped the Trimute Alternative Hits Chart prior to her selection.

On the 17th of March, OOHYO managed to perform at Sumrakovac in Kucura, where she performed sixth, following Korviet Republic and preceding Bobbejaanland. She managed to place in 19th, the highest for the nation so far and placing higher than Callgium, Aquatica and Entea (the latter two failed to vote properly, thus stripped off their points and original placement).

Before the finale of the 22nd edition, TRTN announced that the nation will continue to participate with the presence of Trimute sensation, Birdy, with her song "Keeping Your Head Up", which was announced on the 24th of March. Tryangel hoped that with finding a song that suits the winning formula of the PSC, it will bring the nation to success. Birdy herself showed gratitude, as she performed worldwide with multinational support amongst contestants of PSC's current edition.

Despite a viral outbreak attacking the mainland Plastics world, being an island far from the host city, Kolonjo, Trimute Lands was deemed healthy enough to participate, with Birdy even feeling invigorated before leaving for PSC 23.

Birdy ended up in 21st, the first drop in ranking for the nation since its addition to the PSC.

Due to the nation's poor performance throughout its appearance in the contest (three appearances at the fourth to last place, never above 19th), Tryangel decided that if the people lose interest over a contest that they will continue to suck on, plans to withdraw were on the board. There have been other allegations including the misplacement of Birdy's performance two editions ago, where a music mixer somehow "manipulated" the time where its power should have peaked on.

That said, Tryangel stayed hopeful as they sent T-Pop subunit Bastarz of Block B, with their song "Zero for Conduct", where it was disliked by the public for its vulgar attitude and the inclusion of rather sensitive topics. P.O., the main rapper of the group, stated that they will tone down the darkness and create something a bit more family-friendly by only incorporating fire and props that promote the contest, rather than the song's flashy nature.

On the 23rd of July, the trio performed 8th in the running order at the second semi-final, following and preceding  Calavera. During the performance, visual lags affected the screens behind the performers and dancers but were still able to finish without missing a beat. There were fears that due to said technical difficulty, chances of qualifying were slim. However, the nation was announced as their eighth qualifier to the finals, and fans watching on their homes were relieved.

U-Kwon, another member of the trio, spoke about the accident, saying that the crew was letting go ropes that weren't supposed to let go, which caused screens to stutter and blackout. However, the team behind the arena helped along with fixing the visuals, and nothing else bad happened from that point. As for him, he was doing well, though the error made his heart skip a beat.

Many fans were ecstatic over the nation's qualification, however, a select few were disappointed that Antonia's "Como¡ Ay!" of Kerry Republic failed to qualify, placing 12th in the semi-final, despite being a local chart-topper. The song placed number one at the Trimute Hits Chart days before the semi-final, and by the end of results, few fans went onto Twitter and trended #JusticeForKerryRepublic and #JusticeForAntonia, speaking their shock and sadness over the entry's non-qualification.

On the 8th of September, the running order for the final was announced, where they performed on the 13th spot, following Scanmark and preceding. B.Bomb stated that "this time, mistakes won't be made, especially since we are against more nations, and nothing must be messed up."

After a month-long hiatus due to an internal fire within the Movistar Arena, as well as the incorporation of safety measures regarding rat infestations and giving way for some long telenovela, on the 20th of October, results for the final were announced. During the point receiving portion, fans were pretty skeptical about the country's performance, worrisome to place from fourth-to-last again, as the nation did on its first three participations. However, with the disqualifications of, and  for not voting properly, as well as stripping the former of their original bronze placement, the nation's hopes for placing decently was raised.

Fans were ecstatic when gave the nation 12 points, though it's not seemed out of place or out of love, knowing that the Trimute Lands did give it their 12 points in the previous edition. Overall, the country placed 15th out of 23, with 38 points, giving the nation their highest placement yet, and one a bit of a memorable one for the folks watching by the arena, who applauded the nation's resilience despite their overall poor performance in the competition.

Hours after the finale, semi-final scoreboards were revealed, where, had it not been for 's disqualification (due to not voting, and Maimu, the group's representative badmouthing staff members on their way to practice during jury rehearsal), the Trimute Lands wouldn't even qualify, angering those who prayed for the nation's success during the PSC. Fans petitioned that after five unsuccessful editions in a row, where other nations are pointing out for the Trimute Lands to be seen as the worst performer in the PSC, the TRTN should stop sending artists to the contest.

Tryangel responded that "people shouldn't be upset that we have constantly performed poorly, especially the high quality of performances being well-received by neighboring nations because our intention wasn't to be the best; it's to do our best, no matter the circumstances present within Trimute Lands' music industry."

Fans were once again angry over Tryangel's statement, though there were a handful of her supporters countering their possibly hurtful statements with comments regarding "music is not about success" and "music is life", which didn't really work.
