This is a NEW version of PARANOiA by STM, who won the award in the DDR Audition REMIX contest. This was the first song STM created music for. It's a really big deal that he created a song at this level for the first time. I actually asked him to create an updated version in the studio of my workplace. After I saw his determined attitude and unwavering compromise during production, I'm glad that STM completed the song on his own as expected.

==== MESSAGE from MATSUMOTO(STM200) ====
I'm STM200, who won the REMIX contest.
There was actually a great coincidence up until I created this song. I was near apathetic for a while after knowing about the audition on the KONAMI homepage, but somewhere in my heart, I had the feeling, "It would be cool to have such a PARANOiA in the game"... While returning home from playing at the arcade, I unexpectedly had an idea when I stopped at the railroad crossing in front of the train station. The rhythm of approaching train sounds and the sound of railroad crossings at regular intervals. "This is it!!" I started creating this song with such image from the beginning, and my PARANOiA was finally completed. If I didn't return home at the railroad crossing after dancing to "[[PARANOIA EVOLUTION|PARANOiA-evolution-]]" at the shop that day, this song wouldn't exist.
The title of this song I created is eternally "PARANOiA-eternal-". The series continues. Anywhere eternally (laughs). Please feel and dance eternally everyone. I want to sincerely thank all the KONAMI staff who cooperated in finalizing this song, and my friends who supported me.<br>
I'm really thankful!!
==== MESSAGE from NAOKI ====
In the REMIX contest, I asked for a "DJ-styled sense" different from a composition. The ability to compose sounds and rhythms is the most important part of a REMIX, not chord and melody progressions. When I first heard STM200's song, I thought his ability to compose the song stood out, and I couldn't help but already say "this is it!". I was even more surprised that he was 18 years old and this was the first music he created. I want him to further refine his "DJ-styled sense" and do his best from now on.
And everyone, by all means, please try listening to "PARANOiA-eternal-" by STM200 in DDR5thMIX. It's completed as a song which definitely makes you want to dance!

"PARANOiA ETERNAL" by STM 200 is the newest version from the "PARANOiA" series. The original "[[PARANOiA]]" was already an instant classic and still holds the record for the highest number of remixes out of any Dance Dance Revolution song. "PARANOiA ETERNAL" is more challenging than the original version, so watch yourself on the dancefloor. Be sure to check out the "[[PARANOiA MAX~DIRTY MIX~|DIRTY MIX]]" version in this game as well.

=== [[Kanako Yonezawa|RICE.C]] ===
I immediately expressed my impression after listening to the new PARANOiA, born from a new attempt of the audition selection.<br>
Para Eternal provides feelings of a successively increasing iron will.<br>
An urgent, chaotic trance feeling.
