PARANOiA has evolved into its final form with PARANOiA survivor MAX.
However, there is no nostalgia to be found.
Etched within this version are many memories over the passage of the last 5 years, a time when the only thing I knew I had to do was to keep running.
Indeed... so long as memories continue to shine within our hearts, then perhaps the word for "past" may not exist. Neither would the word "end".

Nice to meet you. I helped create DDR. You may call me RICE.C.
DDR and IIDX have been associated with each other even since the Club kit was released, haven't they? I must say I'm deeply moved. I have been eager to make a video for quite some time, so I am very, very, VERY appreciative & very grateful that I was asked to participate.
 
Since this song is ported from EXTREME, I remade the 2 men in a chase as they appeared from that game. Having said that, I redid almost everything aside from the assembly of the DDR cabinet.
It was my first time creating a full movie for just one song, and every day working on it had my heart racing from how much fun of a task it was.
 
The monochrome world turning into color scene was planned from the start for DDR originally, but had to be cut during development due to its limited storage capacity. That's why I was happy to take another shot at fulfilling my original vision, though the final result didn't turn out as well as I expected. Shame.
 
Right before deadline, I had a terrifying nightmare of a man with sunglasses chasing me down. I hid and I hid, but he kept pursuing me. It was really scary.
 
I hope you all continue to enjoy playing DDR!
I'd like to keep making movies, as well.
Bye-bye~
