Shortly, a rising movement within Hip-Hop culture known as “Phantom Live” has emerged. Rappers use chemically reactive accessories containing a unique metal called “phantometal” infused with their DNA to create emotion-linked illusions on stage.
However, behind the scenes, they struggle with “traumatic illusions” as an unsettling side effect.
The story of Paradox Live revolves around four immensely popular groups: BAE, The Cat’s Whiskers, cozmez, and Akan Yatsura. They aim to prove their music supremacy by participating in battles at the legendary CLUB PARADOX, a mysterious gathering spot.
Unfortunately, a disaster led to the club’s collapse, canceling the final showdown with the legendary duo Buraikan. Now, CLUB PARADOX is rebuilt and set for a brand new competition. Four new groups VISTY, AMPRULE, 1Nm8, and Goku Luck, join the fray alongside the existing cast. With diverse music styles, these groups strive to ascend to the top of the music scene once more.
The project’s creators have worked tirelessly to ensure that the music and performances mirror the genuine talents and personalities of the artists behind the characters. These characters come from different rap crews, each with its distinctive style and musical genre.
Whether you’re a hip-hop or anime fan or simply crave a fresh and exciting form of entertainment, Paradox Live offers an exciting and immersive experience that continues to entertain audiences of all ages.
