  • PARANOiA marks Naoki Maeda's debut in BEMANI.
  • PARANOiA is the first and only KONAMI original introduced in DanceDanceRevolution, available as a EXTRA STAGE song for HARD MODE.
  • 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 a recent interview with Tatsh here (2nd question set), 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 his real name for artist credit.
  • The robot in PARANOiA's background and jacket is based off of Tetsushin Kongouji (金剛寺鉄心), one of the playable characters from KONAMI game FIGHTING武術 (FIGHTING WU-SHU).
