Trauma Button A Paradox Live Fansite
Trauma Button at Phanto.MOE is a fansite for Paradox Live, the anime-styled hip hop franchise created by Gcrest and published by Avex Records. It is run by Jakkal, and features lots of translation work done by Jakkal and his cool friend Carpfish. It is meant to help make getting into and keeping track of this scattershot franchise a little more stable and approachable, using the old-school format of a mid-2000s fansite.

This site is strictly fan-run and unofficial and has no affiliation with Avex or Gcrest, nor any other translation groups; this is a one-man show run as a hobby.

Please make sure you check out Terms of Use and Notes on Translation Choices!

Changelog & Updates

02.17.2025
General upkeep; Kantaro's cheki is on the gallery page, I've updated the disocgraphy page to reflect the results of SURVIVE... and on a slightly less canon content related note, I'm pivoting to a different askbox because Retrospring is going away in like two weeks, and I've taken the chance to embed the new askbox in a page so you can conveniently send in comments and concerns directly from the site. :V So that's in the sidebar now!
02.11.2025
Added the Q&A and cross-talk from this month's Animedia to the Magazines page! Note that because Animedia doesn't do ebook copies, I have decided not to time-gate this translation, but in exchange I do ask that you adhere to a few extra rules meant to dissuade snitching. Just read and agree to the popup on the page to acccess it!
02.10.2025
Added the Paratora conversations between TCW and Rokuta/AMPRULE and Iori from a couple weeks ago to go along with the KARMA art reveal! Find those under pre-album release materials on the "Other Translations" page. I'm experimenting with a new style of approach where I gloss over and summarize out the user comments, since I don't enjoy translating them but they are doing more and more in-character conversations on Paratora and I want to be able to share those (pseudo-)canonical interactions.
02.08.2025
Chungsung's birthday cheki is in the gallery, and I also happened to stumble upon the text from the December 2020 issue of Animedia featuring a small character interview that was referenced in the other Animedia translation I just posted, so I went ahead and translated that too! Check it out in magazines.
02.06.2025
The character interview ft. Kanata and Nayuta from the issue of Animedia that came out this past December is up! Check it out under "magazines".
02.01.2025
New month means last month's Twitter archives are now up! And a front page cleanup, adding all old news to the Past Updates page. And, of course, Kei's birthday cheki has also been added to the gallery!
