== Trivia ==

* PARANOiA marks Naoki Maeda's debut in BEMANI.

** According to Naoki, he was forced to make PARANOiA under many restrictions.

* Much like other songs of the PARANOiA series, PARANOiA's artist, 180, is a reference to its BPM.

** However, PARANOiA's real BPM is not a constant 180 BPM, instead it changes from a minimum of 169.81 to a maximum of 183.67 BPM.

** According to an interview with [[Tatsuya Shimizu|Tatsh]], Naoki used 180 as the artist name for PARANOiA since it was considered taboo at the time in Japanese video games for a video game composer to use their real name for artist credit. Naoki was later asked by one of the directors about who was 180, and suggested to Naoki to use "NAOKI" as an alias (which was later used starting in [[AC DDR 2nd|DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX]] with [[BRILLIANT 2U]]). (The interview can be seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20140909132919/http://www.jbg-ongakuin.com/conversation3/ here, second set of questions]).

* PARANOiA is Hirotaka Ishikawa's, director of several DanceDanceRevolution CS titles, favorite BEMANI song [https://web.archive.org/web/20050203215057/http://www.ddrspot.com:80/viewArticle.asp?article=10].

* PARANOiA received a Double MANIAC chart in [[AC DDR 4th|DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX]].

* PARANOiA received a unique video in [[CS DDR EXTREME2|DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME2]]. This video was carried to the arcade releases in [[AC DDR SuperNOVA|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA]]. This video is played full-screen and eliminates any on-screen dancers.

* PARANOiA's banner was updated in [[AC DDR X|DanceDanceRevolution X]].

** As of October 1st, 2009, PARANOiA(X-Special) has been unlocked for normal play.

* In DanceDanceRevolution GB, PARANOiA runs at 175 BPM.
