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

My translation of the VISTY chapter of MEMORY is up now! Check it out on the "Novels" page. I have also updated a few notes on various pages with relevant information from the novel chapter, specifically the name origins speculation (as VISTY is given a canonical proposed etyomology) page and the unofficial timeline page. Both of these are on the "Miscelanea" page.
Full caveat that I was very free this week so future chapters may take a little longer than this one did, once they release! But, I think I have a good handle on my translation pace at the moment, so I should be able to provide decent time estimates, so please stay tuned and thanks in advance for your patience!

Whoops, it's been a minute since I updated the updates page! Rest assured, I'm still plugging away and active.
I'm currently working on the VISTY chapter of memory, but in the meantime, I've finally put up both May and June's twitter archives! Chisei's birthday art was also added to the gallery and BD26 pages, and VISTY's MEMORY Q&A has been added to the page for that as well (see "Other Translations")!
All the old updates have been added to the past updates page, as well.
