ParaParaParadise

ParaParaParadise (パラパラパラダイス, Para Para Paradaisu) is an arcade and PlayStation 2 dance game made by the Japanese company Konami and released under the Bemani moniker following the Para Para pad.

Konami would later release Dance Evolution for the Xbox 360, a game that shares many similarities with Para Para Paradise.

The music used in Para Para Paradise is exclusively fast-paced Eurobeat. The majority of tracks are “true” Para Para tracks from the Avex Trax record label, such as Velfarre 2000, Anniversary and Boom Boom Fire. A portion of the songs are Eurobeat remixes of other Bemani tracks such as CAN’T STOP FALLIN’ IN LOVE. There are also two songs that are J-EURO remixes, remixes of J-pop songs (Aishiattemasu and Deluxe, both by Key-A-Kiss).

A Korean version of ParaParaParadise, called ParaParaDancing was also released. The songlist was changed to feature more Korean music, including a song by S.E.S.. Songs by Korean artists, H.O.T. “Hold On Me”, sung in Korean, was originally in Japanese. ParaParaDancing also features the ability to play on the reverse side of the stage by setting the machine to sense on the rear 5 out of the total 8 sensors, facing the spectators instead.
