== 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.

* The robot in PARANOiA's background and jacket is based on Tetsushin Kongouji (金剛寺鉄心), one of the playable characters from KONAMI's arcade game ''FIGHTING武術'' (FIGHTING BUJUTSU), which Naoki also worked on.

* 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 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.

** A video based on its original DanceDanceRevolution animations is shown when PARANOiA is played from the [[DDR SELECTION]] folder.
