Trivia

  • 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).
  • PARANOiA appears in KONAMI's PlayStation game, Bishi Bashi Special 3 Step Champ.
  • PARANOiA received brand new Single MANIAC and Double ANOTHER charts in DanceDanceRevolution Internet Ranking Version.
  • PARANOiA received a Double MANIAC chart in DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX.
  • PARANOiA is the only song in the DanceDanceRevolution series to appear in almost every DanceDanceRevolution title, being absent only in DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX and DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution 6thMIX-.
  • PARANOiA received a unique video in DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME2. This video was carried to the arcade releases in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA.
  • PARANOiA's banner was updated in DanceDanceRevolution X, changing the title font.
  • PARANOiA (X-Special) is one of the X-Special EXTRA STAGEs in DanceDanceRevolution X, which can be played from 2/12/2009.
