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 with any other translation groups; this is for the most part a one-man show, and run entirely at a loss and strictly as a hobby.

Changelog & Updates
11.05.2026
Sneaking in one more update before the anniversary!
October's tweet archive is up, and so is the Buraikan short story from the print release of MEMORY vol. 2! You can find it under the "Novels & Short Stories" section of the sidebar.
Note that because this is extremely new and paywalled, I ask that you show some discretion and plausible deniability when it comes to sharing directly for at least a couple months:
- Please do not link directly to the novel or translation page on social media. If anyone asks where you read it, simply tell them to check phanto.moe.
- You may do reaction threads et al, but please do not screencap or use large quotes of my translation. (Small excerpts are still okay for things like picture captions, et al.)
- Under no circumstances should you mention the translation anywhere where staff might plausibly see it (in the replies/quotes of official tweets, YouTube comments, etc), and please attempt to avoid drawing attention from Japanese fandom as well.
- If I am given any reason to feel that it is necessary, I will lock this translation with a password. Please do not make me restrict access. I translate the novels under the assumption that a complete non-Japanese speaker will not buy a prose-only book and does not represent a lost sale, but snitching is how we all lose nice things.
10.29.2026
The voice lines from the Trap reaction trailers are now up on the appropriate teams' Voice Trailers pages! Find those under "Other Translations".
Furthermore, ILLGATOR's new voice trailer has been added to their Voice Trailer page (same place as the last one), and their trap reaction art has been added to the gallery! I've also rearranged the cateories on the gallery page such that the trap reaction art is grouped as a core key art series, with the bonus illustrations from the TRAP album now in a separate section.
10.28.2026
This month's B's-LOG (ft. ILLGATOR) is up with a password, which means last month's (ft. The Cat's Whiskers) is unlocked!
10.24.2026
The new Trap Reaction art up to the present (all the RtL-introduced teams, awaiting Buraikan later today) are up in the gallery.
I will add the lines from the trailers to the voice trailer pages after tonight.
10.12.2026
I uploaded and mirrored-in-text the new relationship chart released with the announcement of ILLGATOR, and while I was at it, I did the same for the previous two relationship charts!
Check those out under the "Fanbook and Related" section of Other Translations.
Additionally, the in-universe news feature regarding Buraikan's participation in LIVE FOR the TRUTH is up as well, under "in-universe press" in Other Translations!
Also, a small update, but the favorite song sorter and character sorter are both now up to date. Those are under "Original Resources and Widgets" on the "Miscelaneous" page!
10.10.2026
Gallery updates: Rokuta's birthday art and, a little belatedly, the new Spoon 2D.i cover (ft. Iori and Yohei) is up in the gallery, and Rokuta's birthday art is on the BD26 page!
The character interview from this month's Spoon 2D.i and this month's Animedia interviews (with the series producer and AU, the character designer for ILLGATOR), both with a password, as well; that's in "magazines"!
And as a final note, this month's Paralove Academy comic is up on its page as well; check under "Spinoffs & AUs"!
10.06.2026
My translation of the ILLGATOR drama is up!
Also, their new key visual is up in the gallery (currently under the LFT key visual section because I don't know where else to put it)!
10.04.2026
My translation of the LIVE FOR the TRUTH Prologue drama is up!
Also a minor note, but because of the video version of said drama, we now have the way that Teshikawara Kouzou's family name is spelled, if not his given name, so that's been added to the 'minor characters' part of the glossary page.
Additionally, after an embarrasingly long time, I've finally translated every character voice trailer (main, trap reaction, and phantom illusion) from Stage Battle to LIVE FOR the TRUTH! Find those under 'social media campaigns' under 'other translations'!
10.01.2026
Time for a front-page clear-out! All of the old updates have been moved to the news archive page.
Allen's birthday art has been added to the gallery and appropriate page!
Also, the special voice contents from the livestream have been translated; find them under "prerelease campaigns" in Other Translations. For these specific translations I do ask that you refrain from screenshotting them, just because of the nature of the release!
