What made you interested in ParaPara?
my dad was starting an arcade for Bemani and I discovered the ParaParaParadise game. Before that I really liked Eurobeat from Initial D and DDR, but thought Parapara was really lame!
Do you like Eurobeat? Yes, of course!
Do you perfer Parapara, Techpara, or Torapara?
Well, I like all of them, but parapara is my first love! I also tend to like really old songs, like Juliana's Tokyo (older techno) and 2nd boom Eurobeat. Trapara is really growing on me though...

Anything else? I promise I don't bite! Just keep doing what you love; Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success.
