1Nm8, GokuLuck, and Buraikan's gap comics are all up! This concludes this campaign.
I've also added the short "interviews" done for meeting view count milestones for the Unit R groups; check those out under the BoU Opening Show prerelease materials in "Other Translations". I'll do the Unit A ones when they release too, of course!

The Cat's Whiskers gap comics are up!
10.13.2024
BAE's gap comics are up! Tune back in tomorrow for whichever group comes next. Also, I've updated the drama listing to reflect what seems to be the drama order based on the preview, but know this is very subject to change. I also have added placeholders for the four battle rounds on both the Dramas and the discography pages, because we've got those matchups announced now!
Please remember: I don't translate the previews because not having the entire drama to work with gives me a hernia, so please sit tight for another 10 days until the CDs release!
Also, I have added a remark on the "Other Translations" page to note when the Autumn seasonal special video will be coming out, since that was announced recently.
To recap, currently, we're looking at:
- Cast gap 2koma on October 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th
- B's-LOG short story (ft. Iori, Yohei, and Aoi) on October 20th (Accompanying the release, I will un-password-lock the current month's story!)
- Battle of Unity Opening Show on October 23rd
- Autumn Team special contents on October 26th
- Paradox Live 5th Anniversary on November 6th
All in the immediate future! And that's not even counting the 2man shows in November.

Buraikan's FRONTIER song translation + YouTube comment campaign + composer credits are up, and this concludes the Battle of Unity opening show MVs and their associated campaigns! The gap comics for the other five groups are slated to begin on the 13th, so look forward to those (and the announcement livestream happening tomorrow, the 12th)!
I also rearranged a few files so that some pages are now in the /other/ subdirectory; if you're using a direct link (from your history/bookmarks or Twitter) and you could have sworn there was a page there before, try adding adding /other/ into the url (ex: phanto.moe/paraneko -> phanto.moe/other/paraneko). I've added a note about this to my 404 page, but just in case, thought I'd announce it!
10.10.2024
Rokuta's birthday voice message as well as all of the whatnot for GokuLuck's Born this way are up!
10.09.2024
Song TL, song credits, and YouTube comments for 1Nm8's Яesonance are up!
10.08.2024
The Cat's Whiskers' TIME 4 GAME is up, as are the youtube comments! Shoutout to Cotranslator Carp, who emerged from a quite long translation break to break through my wall holding fists full of TCW translations, which was a massive help.
The song credits page has also been updated with the new songs' info, and the Concerts page has been updated to reflect the setlists for the 2Man Show performances, and will be updated again in small ways as the official digest videos are posted.
10.07.2024
BAE's new song (Bigger Bigger BaNG!!!) is up, as are the YouTube comments from the comment campaign! This will continue through with the other three groups, as before; just in case I haven't updated the news page, know I generally get the song and comments up within a couple hours, so be sure to check even if I haven't said anything!
I'm still chugging away at some boring under the hood stuff with the site, so don't mind it if you see things that are a little inconsistent across pages.
10.01.2024
New month means new Twitter archives! September's tweets are now up and archived.
Also, it being Allen's birthday: his birthday voice message is up!
And, finally: an anonymous user got in touch and hooked me up with rips of the special Animate tokuten (store bonus) for the LIVE album, containing voice messages from the original 14 characters reflecting on the first round! Check my translations of that out under the "Other Misc. Stuff" in Other Translations!

A handful of things:
First: All of the Unit R gap comics are up! The other five are coming out next month, so they'll follow when they come out.
Second: So I can stop explaining myself and can easily link it to people, I've added a page (found in the "Meta, Explanations and Other Observations" heading on the "Other Trivia" page) to explain why I use he/him for Aoi. Just remember that I am one person interpreting a canon, so you don't have to agree with me, I just wanted a concrete place that I could link people to instead of having to explain myself over and over, lol.
Third: There's an on-site search now! It doesn't appear on pages that don't have the full menu (so on novel pages, song translations, and drama tracks), but those pages are indexed in it as well. Use it to help you find information (or just every instance of a given character's name showing up, or every instance of the word "fuck" in my translations, idc, I'm not your dad) across the site.
9.27.2024
The new two-panel comics that are going up on Twitter now have a dedicated page! You can find them under the first heading in the "Other Translations" page.
Also, unrelatedly, I am currently gathering responses on a brief, not-too-deep survey about my translations, fan translation, and Paradox Live! It'd be cool if you filled it out.
9.23.2024
Translations for both VISTY and AMPRULE's new songs (MAGIC CARPET and Again And Again, respectively) have been added, and the music info page has had the info and credits added! Now we're just waiting on news for the Unit A songs, which will of course get their time when they come.
I'm also adding the YouTube comment campaigns for these MV releases to a page, which you can find under "Other Translations".
9.21.2024
Akan Yatsura's new song (Fuurinkazan Inrai -Bring It Back-) is up, and the music info page has been updated with the details as well!
Also, the CD/discography page has been updated to reflect new information; we now know the list of drama tracks that will be on the Battle of Unity Opening Show Unit R disc 2 (five drama tracks in total, the prologue -- presumably the same as we got on youtube -- and then one per team). Unit A's will presumably come out when we have song titles for the Unit A songs.
09.20.2024
Saimon's birthday message and cozmez's new song (We gotta go) are up in their respective places, and the music info page has been updated to reflect the latter.
Also, the short story from this month's B's-LOG is up! It's in "Magazines", and since these are going to be an ongoing thing, for right now I've decided to put them up at the top of the page. Note that until the next issue comes out, you will be required to input a password that's set up to check if you own a copy of the magazine (the ebook works). I do this because I've seen fantranslators been asked by Japanese fans to take translations of current magazine content down, so I figure that the least I can do is delay the release until it's not the most recent issue on sale.
09.09.2024
Haruomi's birthday voice message is up!
09.01.2024
New month means all the old updates are moved to the Past Updates page and the August 2024 Twitter archive is up!
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.
