## Description

Where in the World is Grucci Nishikino? No, seriously, where did they go? (The character I mean, I'm right here.) See, the mashup himself has gone missing at around the same time as a number of legendary artifacts — much like the Kaleidoskull, the one that created both Grucci and his now-deceased former adversary, Ceil Cusierega — only weaker. Lieutenant Columbo suspects that Grucci performed a series of heists to get them, possibly with the motive of being the big man on the block. In this album, go on the journey of a lifetime with Columbo and Inspector Gadget as they seek out the artifacts and the missing mashup himself! Apologies go out to the original artists for what I've done with their work. Includes one bonus track!

Posted by Grucci Nishikino in his discord server on October 26th, 2022. The image displays the "Final Boss" stating that he will rise. As to who this final boss is, is unknown. A theory as to who the Final Boss is, is The green haired guy from Sweet & Savory Summer EP. His name is unknown as well but for now we (i) can/will call him "Villain".

Posted by Grucci Nishikino in his discord server on December 11th, 2022. The second promo images is a poster poster for this upcoming album, containing the number of tracks on the next album as well as stating "you are the detective". The third promo image is a noir style poster, containing inspector gadget and detective columbo, as well as stating that the tracks feature songs from Love Live, Marshall MATHERS (aka eminem/Slim Shady), Reel BIG FISH and Metal Gear.

The final promo image is the first "final boss" promo image but improved, it contains news fonts, the logo to this new mashup experience and the release date. This promo image was released on december 16th 2022 with Grucci stating "Okay guys, the feds are finally off my tail. I've found safety in this neighborhood. Wait a damn minute... I hear like... mechanical whirring? Like, some kind of mechanical arms... hold up, lemme check outside my hiding spot real quick." prior

## Discord Events

* Villain
* Missing
* Enigmatic Man
* Just one more thing

to the image being posted. Directly after Grucci named himself "The Villain (Grucci)" on discord. Prior to this Grucci changed his PFP to the background of his logo renaming himself "Gone 'Missing? (Grucci)' "

A new user appeared in the server called '???', This user has never been in the Mild Sauce Discord Server until Grucci released the villain promo image. This Mystery Man is the only person that has the role of "Enigmatic Man", so this stranger is apart of the new album releasing next year, he possibly has a major role in the lore too.

On the 17th of december the user 'Screamin Eagles 101' pulled a detective columbo on Grucci after bringing this up, in response grucci sent this audio.

### Big Plans from Grucci People

On November 21st Grucci stated that he has **Big Plans** for "the next album", that being Where in the World is Grucci Nishikino?. He claims that he will be uploading Singles for the first time ever on youtube, these singles will be tracks from the next album.

## Mystery Man Monologue

Villain Origin Story

After 'Screamin Eagles 101' pointed out the Mystery Man he created a new

channel titled "#A-New-Preoject", this whole ordeal has opened up unasked questions, who is the villain? (grucci), who is the mystery man? we probably may never know.

However, this new project is called ''Mash swap with Mild Sauce". How this will work is that a person will send a mashup prompt through an email, which could range from a simple phrase or a single word to a KFAD or Mashup Week type source list. Your submission would then be assigned to a random participant, in which they must create a mashup (original song or remix) which will then be presented to the original submitter. As a result neither of the two parties will know each other until the release date. The Mystery Man will serve a middle man between the participants to ensure everyone is satisfied by the end products.

This was all made (and announced) as The Enigmatic Man is tired of everyone repeating the same songs over and over again, using the same sources and the main offender, Grucci Nishikino, who has used the same love live songs continuously in each of his album, so the mystery man has created this project to break the cycle.

However This entire channel was mysteriously deleted shortly before the reveal of a different project by Grucci Nishikino, entitled 'Matchup with Mild Sauce.'

### Single Releases

Grucci Nishikino has enstated a new system for his next album before release, for once in a life time Grucci is releasing a few of his mashups on youtube as single releases, in hopes of gaining more traction for his upcoming album, 'Where in the World is Grucci Nishikino?'.

Single Release 1. The Case of the Missing Mashup (LUPIN III vs. ROCKAPELLA)

Single Release 2. Local Weather

## Trivia

* The noir style poster is based off of 'The Dark Corner' noir poster.
* Nowicantlose suggested to Grucci that he should make a bonus track called 'Just One More Thing'.
* While the singles released in anticipation for the album were published onto Grucci's YouTube channel, the full album was posted to Mild Sauce's YouTube page.
* Including bonus tracks, the album's length is 35:22.
