Dope Box - Special Verses
At the Dope Box event held on November 16, 2025, several songs were performed in a special way-- the main eight groups were joined by their lyricists doing bespoke verses, and several Shuffle Team songs were re-done with other cast members to make up for characters whose actors were missing.
I was already going to go ahead and translate these by ear from the archive, but thankfully, lyrics were released on the official Paradox Tribe account. So: here are my translations of all of the new verses from Dope Box!
Any lyrics unchanged from the original version will not be noted, but I will note where in the song each segment occurs.
MC Collabs
BAE x MICRO- G△L△XY∞
[In place of Hajun's first verse]
【MICRO】
Ba-ba-bang!!
It's been six years since the starting shot was fired
And I can't express how grateful I am
Dance, we can keep going
There's no outer limits to our galaxy
Nothing stronger than Paralive, hey
Enveloped in the sound, this is parardise, hey
From here on out
We'll just keep doubling down, we never stop
Light the fuse on this dynamite, yeah
The Cat's Whiskers x SIMON - FAITH
*Translation by Carpfish
[In place of Ryu's first verse]
【SIMON】
The vows we carved out in the streets are our greatest weapon
More than money or fame, our pride's what's worth protecting
Always fight to the end, we don't turn tail once we've spoken
TCW Blazing Blue we'll put our whole name on it
If you got no skills or shit then better shut up and phone it
Cutting up the phonies like they're made of sliced cheese
Betting everything I've got on this life, I'm all in
Justice and evil like the depths of the sea
cozmez x GASHIMA from WHITE JAM - Hit em up
[In place of Kanata's second verse]
【GASHIMA】
cozmez, ride on the enemies
Aiming to be a better me than I was yesterday
Rushing way ahead of everyone else one more time
Bagging double what you do with a single verse
Who's the real deal here, you or me?
A skilled performer controlling the microphone
Running circles around everyone else, even on a feature
We're KANATA, NAYUTA, and GASHIMA, the flyest around
[In place of Nayuta's second verse]
【GASHIMA】
We're raising the bar of perfection one day at a time
There's only one way up to the place we've got our eyes on
So we're not gonna play it safe tonight, either
Everyone but us gonna need a post-mortem to find out what went wrong
Finally on stage here in this arena
We're taking everything, sorry 'bout that
Beating you up even with an off-the-cuff verse
Gonna have even the people who came from overseas shouting, "mamma mia!"
Akan Yatsura x Shinnosuke & Mt' from WAYZ - BAD BOYZ -悪漢奴等 Underground-
[In place of Zen's verse]
【Mt'】
First of all, big ups to AKYR
This tag team ripping through this arena with one shot
Sorry 'bout this, but this stage may as well belong to us
I'm a Mt', Mt',
Ah, with my rockstar flow
And a no-joke plan to take the win
Even if we take the L in spectacular fashion, we won't throw away our pride
BAD BOYZ know what love is way more
Than some popstar who's let his love for music wither away
You know?
【Shinnosuke】
The crazy master breaking the staging
Yellow Asian test one
This is just the warm-up foreplay
Even the most basic of my hentai flow
Gets all the ladies screaming, "AMAZING!!!!!!"
How're you holding up, sixth men?
Mt' and I're the seventh
How're you holding up, Paralive?
We can keep going harder, bring it on!
VISTY x gb - BE A STAR
[Inserted between Toma's verse and the first prechorus]
【gb】
I saw someone else's hopes through the far side of the glass
All those nights that slipped by weren't a waste
The verses I spat as though I was trying to laugh it off
Even if the truth was vague, I still hold onto it
Let's keep singing, even if it means embracing loneliness
AMPRULE x CASPER - Again And Again
【CASPER】
1Nm8 x Young Yazzy - Яesonance
【Young Yazzy】
Gokuluck x Tashi - Born This Way
【Taishi】
