Team Profile
A team made up of three students who all attend the same private international university. They believe in living their lives as they see fit, without being constrained by stereotypes or conventional wisdom. They live together in a luxury apartment owned by Hajun. They specialize in genre-blending, cutting-edge hiphop that blends Japanese, English, and Korean lyrics and trends.

Team Backstory
All of them met in high school; Hajun was present while Allen was practicing rapping at school after school hours, and the two decided to rap together. Anne later encountered them the same way, and the three of them felt that they had similar vibes and began working as a team. By the time they were all in university, they began their activity as BAE.

Team Profile
With old friends and unitmates Saimon and Yohei forming the core, the current group was formed by the addition of Ryu and Shiki. They can oft be found working at Bar 4/7 ("Seven-Four"), a jazz bar owned by Saimon. They're acclaimed for their timeless compositions with a jazzy sound.

Team Backstory
Saimon and Yohei used to belong to a hiphop unit called XXXX ("Quadra-X"). While running Bar 4/7, Saimon picked up Shiki (who had run away from home) and Ryu (who was wandering around as a drifter), and now the two of them live at the bar.

Team Profile
Orphans who grew up without knowing their parents' faces. After managing to escape from an orphanage, they survived by winning prize money in rap battles. As they've supported each other their whole lives, they are incredibly codependent. Their melancholy, realistic lyrics about their troubled lives overwhelm the listener.

Team Backstory
After escaping from an orphanage in a slum, they began to live on their own, just the two of them. While living hand to mouth, one day, they heard about stage battles. They had loved hiphop for a long time, and they took up the mic in order to earn money through it.

Team Profile
A five-man team with a strong sense of honor. They used to be members of a large yakuza clan that is no more, following a particular incident. With Iori at the center, this team has a bond that transcends blood ties. Their appeal is their intense, passionate music that brings together their different flows and overwhelms the audience.

Team Backstory
Each of the younger members had some kind of trouble in their home environment, and while they were searching for a place to belong, they were saved by Iori and joined the Suiseki. Although the five of them were already close, following the annihilation of the Suiseki, they formed this group to strengthen their bond all over again.

Team Profile
A legendary unit consisting of rapper Yasha and trackmaker Shura, both legends in their fields. The group that started phantom lives. Notable for the profound feeling of their tracks and the alluring power of their lyrics.

Team Backstory
Yasha, who was already famous as a former basketball player and was already well-regarded for his rapping skills, heard Shura's tracks online and persuaded him into forming a unit with him. They first encountered phantometal while they were building buzz in the underground scene, and they developed the first phantom live. It took the world by storm. At the height of their popularity, however, they suddenly vanished from the public eye.

Team Profile
An idol group who, at the height of their popularity, were pushed to the edge of disbanding when their center left the group. Although each member has great skill, their now-gone center was such an outstanding force that they now stand in the shadow of his departure and are treated as leftovers. They're betting everything on their last chance to prove themselves as idols.

Team Backstory
They practice together for two hours every day in the evening after school, and then they all eat dinner together. Shogo tends to do most of the housework and prepare meals. Their agency has recently notified them that if they fail to show results in the Paradox Live, their group will be disbanded.

Team Profile

Team Backstory
Dongha discovered hiphop during a time that he was being discouraged by being constantly compared to Hajun. For Dongha -- who had to that point only ever done the things he had been told to do -- this was a first, as he chose on his own to pursue phantom lives and forming AMPRULE, regardless of the wishes of the Yeon Conglomerate or his parents.

Team Profile
Three artists with incredibly high Phantometal affinity, capable of producing unique illusions. The leader, Kei, used to be the center of VISTY, but left the group for personal reasons.

While working as an idol, Kei had a fateful reunion with Rokuta, who was playing a street piano. As they had nowhere else to go, Rokuta and Itsuki both came to live with Kei.
