As the heads gathered on the floor eagerly awaited the start, a countdown began. The moment it hit zero, a space shuttle was launched into the vast cosmos on the screen. This video production, themed around the event title, heightened the anticipation, and the first team to grace the stage was Akkan Yarou, voiced by Kondou Takayuki, Shima, Toki Shunichi, Hatanaka Tasuku, and Yano Shougo.

A live reading showcased a scene where Suiseki Iori, Gabu Zen, Masakuni Hokusai, Itou Satsuki, and Maruyama Reo reaffirmed their determination for the upcoming “Battle of Unity,” the first group battle in Pararai. Following this display of their strong bonds, they launched into “Fuurinkazaninrai -Bring It Back-“. The passionate lyrics resonating with the five members’ souls continuously amplified the cheers from the heads, enveloping the floor in a shared intensity.

Next up was VISTY, voiced by Nakajima Yoshiki, Itou Kashitaro, Aimai, and Sumitani Tetsuei. From their 3rd album “ANTHEM”, a scene depicting the idols on the brink – Yamato Shougo, Higure Toma, Kureha Aoi, and Sanshuuji Kantarou – encouraging each other to rise again was presented through a live reading, leading into “NEVER END”. The synchronized dancing and cute flow of the four members’ performance shone brightly, illuminating the Stella (the name for VISTY fans).

As the floor’s excitement soared, AMPRULE made their appearance, presenting a scene from “-Battle of Unity- Round2 “KARMA””. Inoue Marina and Okiayu Ryoutarou skillfully portrayed Tsubame Toka expressing his feelings about music while Shiro Tadashige gently watched over him. This heartfelt reading transitioned seamlessly into “ONE WAY”, eliciting sighs of admiration from some heads in the audience.

Following this was cozmez’s turn, performing a scene from “REVOLUTION” which depicted the “Road to Legend” final battle. Yatogami Kanata and Yatogami Nayuta’s conversation on the rooftop of an abandoned building was brought to life. Amidst quiet applause, the twins, holding onto their “生きた証” (proof of life) in their hearts, were portrayed by Kobayashi Yuusuke and Toyonaga Toshiyuki as they sang “Two Crowns”.

Laughter filled the venue as Kobayashi and Toyonaga remained immersed in their world even after the performance. The first MC segment began, featuring the ＜Revengers＞ team: cozmez, Akkan Yarou, VISTY, and AMPRULE. Each member energized the floor with their unique self-introductions, maintaining the usual lively atmosphere. The cast members discussed their impressions of the performance style, which incorporated live readings for the first time. Toki Shunichi pumped up the crowd, calling out, “Can you give me a better voice?! Let’s get this party started!” further raising the heat on the floor.

Returning to the live performances, 1Nm8 appeared on the screen. Amatsuki and Chiba Shouya portrayed Ouyama Kyo and Rokuta, tracing past memories through the piano in their scene. They then performed “S∀G∀”, created under the theme of “SHOWDOWN”. The sight of the brothers exchanging glances and connecting their feelings purified the hearts of the heads. Without missing a beat, The Cat’s Whiskers (TCW), voiced by Takeuchi Ryouta, Hayashi Yuu, Hanae Natsuki, and Terashima Junta, appeared, recreating a scene from the 1st season battle “PRIDE”.

Following a reading that conveyed the bonds between Nishiomon Naoaki and Kanbayashi Taohei, and Natsume Ryu and Andou Shiki, they delivered “4 REAL”. The performance gently resonated with the lingering emotions from the reading, creating a truly special atmosphere.

Gokuraku followed, with Batori Shougo as Tosa Ryoga, Tachibana Shinnosuke as Kaida Shion, and Kobayashi Chiaki as Mikoshiba Kenta taking the stage. They performed a scene from “-Battle of Unity- Round1 “SURVIVE”” and delivered an overwhelming performance with the provocative lyrics of “Scarface”.

For BAE’s turn, voiced by Kajiwara Gakuto, Murase Ayumu, and 96neko, they presented a scene from “Opening Show -Battle of Unity- UNIT A”, depicting Suzakuno Allen, Yonagi Haruomi, and Ann Faulkner getting fired up for the tournament. Amidst laughter sparked by their playful exchange, they ignited sparks in the hearts of the heads with “Bigger Bigger BaNG!!!”, pushing the floor to even greater heights.

The second MC segment was handled by the ＜Avengers＞ team: BAE, TCW, 1Nm8, and Gokuraku. Perhaps fueled by the palpable excitement from the floor, the cast members were high-spirited, pumping up the crowd with original self-introductions and call-and-response. The Gokuraku members, noting that “the Warden (Inukai Yuuto) isn’t here today!”, started to get wild, leading to a lively, wacha wacha talk session as the others tried to keep them in check.

As the cast left the stage, the atmosphere dramatically shifted with grand sound effects and visuals. The legendary team of the illusion live world, Buraikan, appeared on stage, overwhelming the heads with their divine aura. Ono Kensho and Suwabe Junichi portrayed Kujyuuryuu Tomose and Tatsumiya Haruomi in a scene from “Opening Show -Road to Legend-”, where they reminisced about their journey while in a sauna. With Tomose’s declaration, “Now that we’re all set, shall we get this party going?!”, “Road to Legend” began. Two mirror balls illuminated the venue, and when Ono placed his hand on Suwabe’s shoulder as if leaning in, the yellow cheers echoed particularly loud.

The floor’s heat showed no sign of diminishing as the “Seasonal Show” shuffle project live performances, themed around the seasons, commenced.

For the daytime performance, team Spring (Ann Faulkner, Andou Shiki, Masakuni Hokusai, Maruyama Reo, Yamato Shougo, Sanshuuji Kantarou, Rokuta) whipped up a spring breeze across the floor with “Brand New Story”, and team Summer (Suzakuno Allen, Natsume Ryu, Suiseki Iori, Gabu Zen, Itou Satsuki, Kujyuuryuu Tomose, Higure Toma, Tosa Ryoga) delivered the heat of an early summer with “Beachside ZOO”.

With the floor engulfed in a frenzy, all the cast members gathered on stage. After introducing goods and talk event information, two major announcements were made. First, a miracle collaboration project between KING OF PRISM and Paradox Live has been decided for this summer! Along with this announcement, a collaboration visual featuring Suzakuno Allen and Ichijou Shin was also unveiled ahead of time. Terashima Junta and Hatanaka Tasuku, who appear in both series, shared their joy.

Furthermore, words reading “この夏、特別な企画が始まる――” (This summer, a special project begins–) appeared alongside an image of Kujyuuryuu Tomose with wet hair in a swimsuit, drawing thunderous cheers from the floor. The summer special project “ParaLove Gakuen in Rinkai Gakkou Manatsu no Gen’ei ~Midsummer Mirage~” was announced to start from June 18. Newly drawn illustrations of all 29 members depicting their time at a Rinkai Gakkou (seaside school) were revealed, and goods using these illustrations will be released. Additionally, a collaboration with an Umi no Ie (sea house) will take place from July 7 to 13. Details will be announced later, so look forward to future updates.

As if to further elevate the floor, which was already a whirlwind of excitement from the consecutive new announcements, Ono Kensho’s title call kicked off “29Verse -One Mic One Spit One Kill-“. The all-cast performance provided a brilliant finale, and “Paradox Live Dope Space” closed with the highest possible energy.

Note that streaming tickets for this event are currently on sale until June 22 at 9:00 PM (JST). The archive period lasts until June 22 at 11:59 PM (JST), allowing you to watch it multiple times. Be sure to experience the world of Pararai, woven through readings and lives, via the stream!
