**VCD: AVCD-17005
**VHS: AVVD-90122

ParaPara Paradise 5 had a new turn for backgrounds. They used animated CG backgrounds, which to some made the video look less professional, as they looked like they were floating in mid-air since they did not have any shadows. This was the first video when they featured "Solo" videos of each of the ParaPara AllStars with older Eurobeat songs.

This was the only video to feature the ParaPara! Love, which were just like the ParaPara AllStars, but not as huge. This video featured all J-Euro rather than Eurobeat. It was also the first video for the ParaPara AllStars to perform without Tomomi. It contained CG backgrounds, like PPP5, but they had little to no animation to them. Each ParaPara! Love and ParaPara AllStars member danced 2 songs solo. There was also no Special Performance like many of the previous videos.
