“Paradox Live Fanfest “Dope Box”” official report!

Paradox Live Fanfest Dope Box is Paradox Live's first fan festival, with the theme of “Happy Box” and packed with live stages and special festival-only content. A special event for heads was held, featuring 8 units including BAE, The Cat's Whiskers, cozmez, Akukan Toko, VISTY, AMPRULE, 1Nm8, and Goku Luck, as well as a talented group of music writers.

While the penlights and bracelet lights in the venue sway as if waiting for the performance to begin, the opening video will be displayed on the monitors at the start time, heightening the anticipation of the heads.

When the lights came on on the stage, VISTY, performed by Yoshiki Nakajima, Ryotaro Ito, Manami, and Tetsuei Sumiya, appeared. After exciting the floor with his familiar call and response, Amataro announced, “Today's top batter is our rival and friend 1Nm8!!'' and 1Nm8's latest song “Grace И Guilt'' started with loud cheers.

Along with beautiful images and lighting, Amatsuki, Ryo Kitamura, and Shoya Chiba will weave a bright future with their sounds.

Not to be outdone by them, VISTY appeared on the center stage and performed their latest song “Linger”. We will create a sparkling sense of unity.

After the four of them left the stage, Kyo, Itsuki, and Rokuta began their MC, delivering words that further raised expectations for the next stage.

As the atmosphere on the floor became even more heated, we moved on to the session part with the guest artists. First, BAE's Gakuto Kajiwara and 96 Neko will sing “G△L△XY∞” with MICRO, who wrote the lyrics. The entire floor begins to emit a unified light, drawn in by the dynamic vibes of the three members.

In the following “Faith” by The Cat's Whiskers (TCW), Ryota Takeuchi and SIMON exchange a passionate embrace, and Isamu Hayashi and Junta Terashima smile at each other.

After that, “Again And Again” by AMPRULE and CASPER performed by Marina Inoue and Ryutaro Okiayu made the heads numb with its profound sound, and the excitement reached its climax when Katsugo Batori and Shinnosuke Tachibana performed “Born This way” by Goku Luck with Taishi.

The members who had a gorgeous session appeared on stage again and the talk corner started. MICRO said with a big smile, “I'm MICRO, a Pararai Head just like you all!'' He said that he put six years of passion into his verse during his performance. He talks about his feelings towards BAE and says that the view from the stage felt emotional.

SIMON, who sang with the thoughts of Ryu Natsume who was unable to perform this time, sampled the last lyric “Justice is the deep sea of ​​evil” as if Ryu Natsume was there.

He confesses his deep feelings that “Ximon”, played by Ryota Takeuchi, and “W Simon”, played by “SIMON”, are finally together. Furthermore, the song “Faith” that was sessiond on this stage was requested by SIMON himself.

CASPER also said that he was hugged by two members of AMPRULE backstage, and his tension instantly melted away. Looking back on the production, Inoue said, “CASPER is the only one who can pass in front of Tsubame Toka,'' and Okiayu says that he was shocked by CASPER's coolness from rehearsals.

Taishi, who was standing on stage as a singer for the first time in a while, was nervous at first as the venue was an unexpected arena. “(About the song) It's a song that includes the meaning of reaching the top, but before I knew it, I was standing on stage,'' he said, stirring up excitement with the artist's skillful use of words.

Batori Katsugo, who laughs as he feels he has a lot of energy after co-starring with Taishi, quickly drinks all the water from his bottle, and receives a lot of tsukkomi from the other cast members. Surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere and laughter, the stories behind the development of the cast and the recording process told by the writers are refreshing. Heads listen with smiles as they listen to the episodes that bring out the colors of each unit.

When the spotlight turned on the darkened stage, AMPRULE and Goku Luck appeared. While praising each other's enthusiasm, they tell the heads that there are still many surprises in store.

From here, the shuffle performance goes beyond the boundaries of each unit. In “Double Trouble” by Shohei Kambayashi and Iori Suishi, Isamu Hayashi and Takayuki Kondo charm you with their perfect performance as former buddies, and in “Why do you like me??” by Anne Faulkner and Satsuki Ito, 96 Neko and Tasuku Hatanaka create an emotional atmosphere with a production that makes you feel the relationship between the two.

After that, BAE and the villains appeared as character MCs, raising the voltage of the entire floor with voices such as Allen and Iori.

The second half of the event started with “CHILLIN'” by Shiki Yamido, Hokusai Seiki, Reo Maruyama, Junta Terashima who plays Anne Faulkner, Shunichi Toki, Shogo Yano, and 96 Neko. As if to calm down the rising heat, a chill atmosphere suddenly wafts through the air.

In “New & Classic,” Allen Suzakuno, Naoaki Nishikado, Shohei Kanbayashi, Ryoga Tosa, and Gakuto Kajiwara, who plays Shion Kaida, Isamu Hayashi, Katsugo Batori, and Shinnosuke Tachibana stylishly accentuate the sharpness of their lyrics. In “Nobles”, Yatonogami Kanabata, Yatonokami Nayuta, Tsubame Toka, Yusuke Kobayashi who plays Tadanari Shira, Toshiyuki Toyonaga, Inoue Marina, and Okiayu Ryutaro performed sharp and piercing flows, dominating the floor with a crackling feeling that stirred up each other.

It is unique to this special event that the arranged songs will be performed by the members for one night only. The heads on the floor will respond with all their heart and soul to the great vibes emitted from the stage.

The character MCs by cozmez and TCW didn't stop the excitement, and with the heated floor at their backs, they once again collaborated with the writers.

VISTY appeared with GB as the main focus. Riding the beat and performing “BE A STAR”, the five members shine a unique light on stage.

Next, 1Nm8 performed “Яesonance” with Young Yazzy. Young Yazzy's original lyrics burst out with love, and the voltage on the floor soared.

In cozmez's “Hit em up” performed by Yusuke Kobayashi and Toshiyuki Toyonaga, you can feel the sensation of being fueled by GASHIMA's speedy flow and powerful lyrics, and cozmez's energy explodes like a chemical reaction.

In addition to Takayuki Kondo, Junichi Toki, Tasuku Hatanaka, and Shogo Yano, Shinnosuke and Mt' from the artist group WAYZ, who wrote the lyrics, participated in “BAD BOYZ -Akukan Yatsu Underground''. A flashy fireworks display will be held during the festival.

The writers and cast members who gave an enthusiastic performance gathered on stage and went to the talk corner.

Aimi laughed as she described her impression of GB, saying, “It's cute, like a teddy bear.'' However, GB himself, like Ryotaro Ito, was worried about the choreography. Young Yazzy, who performed a verse with the title of a previous 1Nm8 song, said that he didn't know what kind of excitement he should have when performing on a different stage in the field, but he said that he had so much fun that he naturally found himself grinning after the performance.

When asked about how he was surprised at how low-backed the writers were, Toyonaga revealed that when he met cozmez's “dad” GASHIMA in the dressing room, he asked for a handshake with great force. The original lyric that GASHIMA performed this time was about making a big deal, so I thought it would be rejected by the paralytic staff, but the story behind it is that it was accepted as is.

The behind-the-scenes stories told by each creator are valuable. “Isn't it cool? Also, it's not safe!'' Kondo says with a smile, exploding with joy at being able to collaborate with the writers he admires. Shinnosuke and Mt' expressed their gratitude, saying, “We're happy to be spotlighted by the writers.Thank you to all the heads who accepted us!''

After sending off the writers with loud applause, the cast gathered on stage. This time, there are many productions that make use of the main stage, center stage, and the flower path that connects the two stages, and the cast members will tell you many behind-the-scenes stories about the production.

Cozmez's mischievous appearance when he is picked up by the camera makes us laugh, and the double trouble incident caused by Kondo's “Double Trouble” is revealed, and in the usual chaotic atmosphere, the ending time is quickly reached.

The last song of this event will be “29Verse -One Mic One Spit One Kill-”.

After the entire cast sang, the event seemed to have come to a close with Kajiwara's final greeting, “Thank you very much for today!” But then, the big letters “Special News” appeared on the screen, and it was announced that “Dope Show 2026” would be held for two days, May 30th (Saturday) and May 31st (Sunday), 2026.

The floor erupted in cheers at the unexpected announcement. The momentum of “Paradox Live” will not stop next year. Please look forward to the next report.

Tickets for streaming this event are on sale until 21:59 on Monday, November 24, 2025. You can watch it during the archive period (until 23:59 on the same day), so please enjoy Pararai's first fan festival, which was decorated with a special one-night-only stage, as many times as you like.
