Victory! Father Mooshroom 2

After running for what felt like hours, the two climbers managed to lose that Part of Uta; but the chase was still on.
Their mirror selves, capitalizing on their fatigue, attempted to restrain them.
Jeanine managed to jump away and slide down a nearby slope, further into the depths of the Old Site, before she could be captured.
Chunky moved too slow.

Grabbed his counterpart, Chunky struggled. He couldn't break free from his grip. The Part of Jeanine rolled her eye and stuck around, further cornering Chunky. Seems she and the Part of Chunky had a "help the one who gets their guy first" agreement. The three of them slowly moved across the Old Site, to another room with a mirror.

Chunky's mirror taunted him. He's all alone now, unable to do anything. Like usual. Incapable of getting by on his own. 
Chunky yelled that he's no better, needing the other mirror to help him. Chunky stands in front of the mirror, cornered, as his mirror self clenches his fists.

That Part of Chunky isn't anything like him, he yells. He's no part of him.
"Chunky may n-need people's help s-sometimes..." He cries, as his counterpart inches closer. "But Chunky d-definitely don't need YOU-"

[Chunky Kong was pushed into the mirror.]

Running To Keep Your Life

The Last Person, a DIY artist who single-handedly manages every aspect of his music from songwriting and performance to mixing, mastering, and promotion, is set to release his new manifesto, "The Last Person's Theme." The name itself means "the person least likely to," reflecting his position on the periphery of the scene, creating music on his own terms.

Following his debut album Record of Inner Conflict, a document of his inner struggles, this new song marks a true new beginning. Incredibly, the track was born from a time capsule: a lost demo he wrote over a decade ago at the age of 20, rediscovered by chance. It captures the raw, unfiltered impulse of a young man armed with a belief in rock and roll, while also harboring the cynical fear that it might all be an illusion-a duality that remains at the core of The Last Person today.

Reimagined with a decade's worth of production skill, the track fuses its original garage-rock energy with a modern, dynamic sound. The release itself is an experiment: an English-language EP will be released first, followed by a Japanese version, with each featuring four distinct mastering versions at different LUFS levels. It is a public test of how his music will be heard in the age of streaming loudness normalization - a bold move only possible for a true DIY artist.

As he says, laughing, "If someone happens to listen just once and think it's good, that's the best thing." That unadorned sentiment is the source of the song's brilliance.
