Chris Marker's Sans Soleil (1983) Depicts Para Para in a Park

This may confirm that Para Para existed well before the late 80s as the article states.

??

What happened to all the information here? It seems a lot of text has been deleted.

Also the origin of parapara. As far as I know, there is no actual record of how it began, just speculation...

I also would like to know what happened! A lot of good resources for parapara have gone extinct.

Wikipedia should at least have some of this information. I believe it was relevant.

In terms of external links, a lot have been removed because Wikipedia is not here for people to advertise their personal fan sites.

The resources linked in the External Links section are there because they are major sources of information for Para Para. As for a majority of the text being deleted, a lot of the wording and grammar was cleaned up to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. Also, there was a lot of diatribe on here about release rumors and release dates for videos, which don't belong in this article.

I agree about the personal sites. I see no reason why we should have the Parapara chile, spain and brazil sites up with no one else's sites. I am going to remove them since they are less of a resource than parapara stage was. I was referring to information from Parapara online, which is no longer active.

Hoedown Throwdown?

Would Miley Cyrus' "Hoedown Throwdown" count as Para Para outside of Japan? Just wondering... 98.217.132.179 (talk) 01:02, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

More on origin needed

The origin needs more documentation. It seems odd for men to have started it based upon Bon Odori. I note that Michael Jackson's Thriller came out in 1983, but that has more full-body movement. Maybe we have to wait for a musical historian to get interested and publish. -- 70.57.157.46 (talk) 05:22, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Living in Japan in the early 90s, I had a few friends explain that para para dancing was inspired by the Take On Me music, with the name coming from onomatopoeia of the opening bar. I'm surprised to see that is not even mentioned in the article as of today. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 21:47, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

OL's perspective on para para.

I have found a Japanese television segement on para para that would be more useful here then on the gyaru article. I hope it is of use some how. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_8lL8CKalY 46.244.6.130 (talk) 19:08, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

More useful videos

Just found this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qzUGTNLP4o I hope both can be archived as they are quite long. 46.244.6.130 (talk) 19:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
