At first glance, PPP is indeed "DDR with hands," until you find out exactly what you are supposed to do in the game.

In Parapara Mode, you are to copy exactly what the person on the screen does. It is exactly the same every time, and has several repeated things to do for each individual song, making it a sort of standard dance routine. This is much easier to memorize, since it's not like you have to remember every single arrow; just the dance itself. Once you memorize the song, which is entirely possible, you can set the arrows and on-screen dancer to invisible, and look completely cool doing the routine, AND getting all the arrows correct in the process.

In freestyle mode, the on-screen dancer is still doing the parapara routine, but is not mirrored to you (the camera spins and goes around her constantly). Instead, you are given completely unrelated arrows, so that you are supposed to make up your own routine. Mostly though, people just set it on hard difficulty, and go into what we like to call "Crazy arm-waving mode." This gives PPP a bad name, and is NOT what the game is about.
Para Para Paradise is a test of personal nimbleness and memory, while showing off the same to onlookers.

Parachute Pills

Basically take one or two sheets of toilet paper and place the pill or pills inside of the toilet paper. You can use a lighter to crush the pill or pills inside the toilet paper or a mortar and pestle outside of the toilet paper and then place the powder inside the sheet. You then fold then excess toilet paper around the crushed pill powder, swallow the ball and thus the paper dissolves and the crushed pill powder will hit your stomach and be processed faster because it is already broken down itself.
Instead of swallowing his pills with water, he will Parachute Pills by crushing a tablet between sheets of toilet paper to swallow, making the medication work faster.
