Actaully parapara is not japanese it developed in ancient greek and japanese just spoofed it up.

I second that... The Night of Fire would be the best example out of these, but still not a very good one lol

[TalimSoul]

So... what was the 1st song you were playing while the descriptions were showing?

[pinktinkerbutton]

Darkwave Surfer by Aural Vampire

[kata892]

para para is not really the onomatopeia for dancing. Thay call it para para because when people hear music they go "paraparapara" along with it so the guy who named the dance decided that it would be a good way to call it. Like some others go "lalala" or idk.. "tralala" with the music, most japanese ppl go "parapara"

[womanxinxred]

"Take on me", from Aha.

Remember that, right? Well, just try to sing the un-singed (?) part of the song.

PARAPARAPAPAPA, PAPARAPARA

Well, and you're done then. Parapara it's called PARAPARA, because of that song. 'Cause japanese people wanted to give a name for the way they danced disco music.

[MateoPPP]

[yueyue21]

[JBNekoChanJB]

@yueyue21

But you have to admit... Those guys are just adorable and soo sugoii=^o^=

[cherriesandwine]

actually the onomatopoeia in japanese for para para is raining..

[rhea258]

now i know the meaning of para para ^_^

[SaturnsEthics]

Okay, now it all makes sense.

[nyappyapple]

um, for the people who were wondering about the an cafe thing...

when visual kei/oshare kei bands use what looks like para para motions with their hands, normally it's for the fans to learn, and it's called Furitsuke.

a good example would be the song Masquerade by Ayabie. there is specific Furitsuke for a few of their songs actually.

^___^
