Para Para Paradise Controller

Summary

Para Para is a fast dance style that is very popular in Japan. The aim is to perform predefined movements with the main arm and hand for para-para music. Para Para Paradise, originally a Japanese arcade game, is one of the early games for PS 2, developed and distributed by Konami. There is a separate controller for the game. It consists of 5 parts, which are placed in a semicircle. The sensors work with infrared, so no physical contact is necessary. Players move their arms over the controller while dancing and thus transfer the movements to the game.

Most of the songs available come from the Japanese label Avex Trax and are Japanese songs written for the game. In the Korean version, all songs are Korean. The game and the para-para controller were always sold separately. The controller only works on a Japanese PlayStation 2, indicating that Para Para has little interest outside Japan and Korea.
