Paradox Live

Paradox Live is a Japanese multimedia project created by Avex and GCREST. It is set in a futuristic Japan with a hiphop-saturated culture. There is a movement in which rappers perform “Phantom Lives,” using accessories made with a special material called phantometal which chemically reacts with their DNA and emotions to create illusions on stage. However, after performances, they suffer from illusions of their past traumas as a side effect, called a trap reaction.
