ParaPara

パラパラ(ParaPara) is a type of dance that originated in Japan.

ParaPara is most heavily associated with Eurobeat and its derivatives (like Hyper Techno).

Though I’m not 100% sure about the history…I don’t think ParaPara originated with Eurobeat but originated around the same time…then it attached itself to Eurobeat, becoming forever linked from then on.^A)

And, well, ParaPara is also heavily associated with Gyaru.^B)

^A) Galture’s articles on ParaPara detail the history, so I’ll incorporate it into this article at some point.

^B) Notable because ParaPara was apparently not created by them.
