[THREAD] To start off the new account, let's get to know the Jpop group Panda Dragon/Paragon of the company Daredemo Dream!

Panda Dragon, most commonly shortened to Paragon, is a 7 member idol group formed in 2018 after the members passed DD's Mesemoa Babies auditions. As of writing this tweet, they have released two singles as well as a full album so far.

Paragon's first single, "Koishite BAILA!" (tr: Fall in Love and Dance!), was released in September of 2018. You can watch the MV here! Turn on CC to read the English translation!

"Kirari Pedal" (tr: Shining Pedal), one of their coupling tracks to their first single, was uploaded as well in the form of a dance shot video. Watch here, and turn on CC to read the English translation!

In April of 2019, Paragon released their first full album, "APRIL". Listen to a fanmade crossfade sampling the album below, and be sure to purchase the full album if it interests you! ( http://musumen.shop-pro.jp/?pid=143263019 )

"VIVA! China", Paragon's second single, was released in July of 2019 and features Taiga as the center! Watch the MV here! (Translation coming soon!)

Like the rest of the idols of DD, Paragon also occasionally record dance cover (aka odottemita) videos. Below, you can watch the group's first dance cover video, Super Nuko World!

NOW: Let's get to know the lovely members of Paragon!

First is Adu! (pronounced Azu)
Twitter: adu_paragon
Instagram: adu_no_insta
Member color: Green
Birthday: June 11
Blood type: AB
Height: 176cm
Favorite foods: French fries, taiyaki
Hobbies: Going on walks, drawing
Skill: Swimming

Adu is a bit on the quiet and straight-faced side, but by no means does that mean he's a serious person. Has the most cryptic tweeting style of the group.

He's surprisingly tall, and his voice surprisingly deep. But he still wants to be called cute as though he's a baby.

Adu's old odorite channel is still up, where you can watch his old dance cover videos from before his debut, including his cursed dance cover of GO!GO!Senkyo, meant to encourage young adults to vote. https://nico.ms/sm2903142 

Second member: Taiga!
Twitter: taiga_paragon
Instagram: _gaoootaiga_
Member color: Light blue
Birthday: Oct 17
Blood type: A
Height: 178cm
Favorite foods: Sweets
Hobbies: Admiring fashion and idols' outfits
Skills: "Still figuring it out"

Taiga is an extreme lover of Pompompurin, to the point that he has said that he loves Purin above anybody else. Super smart with cosmetics and fashion, and can often be seen whining about wanting to visit Korea. Always seems to be in the know with current trends.

A self-proclaimed scaredy cat, Taiga reacts extremely to even little things. This combined with his loudness makes him easy for the others to pick on, but that just means that he makes the group more fun. See this video to see him in action: https://twitter.com/info__paragon/status/1036550358883946501

Third is Nagi!
Twitter: nagi_paragon
Instagram: naginomakimono
Member color: Pink
Birthday: July 14
Blood type: O
Height: 176cm
Favorite food: Fried rice
Hobbies: Anime, music, games, hanging out with friends
Skills: Running, cleaning the bathroom

Nagi loves attention. Known to do the most of stalking his Twitter mentions, Instagram Q&As, and holding reply sessions for fans on Twitter. May or may not have a crush on Taiga. Overuses the emoji.
Also appeared in the album "Nein" from the band Sound Horizon as an actor.

As of writing this tweet, Nagi is a middle school 3rd year and is 15 years old. Him being very much his age, he also runs a Tiktok account: http://vt.tiktok.com/JaXyc9/ 

Fourth is Naruki!
Twitter: naruki_paragon
Member Color: Lavender
Birthday: Aug 19
Blood type: O
Height: 186cm
Favorite food: Barbecue/yakiniku
Hobbies: Movies
Skills: Making popcorn

Naruki grew up in Hokkaido, and moved to Tokyo to become an idol. He blames Hokkaido's famous sweets and snacks for his sweet tooth. Supposedly the loudest member of Paragon.

Naruki is a big fan of Disney and especially Mickey Mouse. He also occasionally takes photos as a hobby.

Fifth, Patch!
Twitter: patch_paragon
Instagram: pcwoo_66
Member color: Red
Birthday: Jan 9
Blood type: O
Favorite foods: Omurice, cucumbers, mayonnaise
Hobbies: Being an idol fan
Skills: Furicopy (imitating idols' dances as part of the audience)

Known as the ace of the group, Patch is one of Paragon's best dancers. From Osaka. Skincare geek. Also likes fashion & Korea. Eyes look exactly like the eye emoji on iOS(). Loves clinging to his seniors of Mesemoa/Chocobo. Cheeky personality. Gets made fun of for being short.

Sixth, Yuya!
Twitter: yuya_paragon
Instagram: yuya.watanabe8844
Member color: Blue
Birthday: Aug 4
Blood type: B
Favorite food: Kinpira gobo (Stir-fried carrot and burdock root)
Hobbies: Pokemon, Haikyuu, idol appreciation
Skills: Figure skating, Y-balance (a gymnastics pose)

Yuya credits his background in competitive figure skating for his impressive flexibility and sexy dancing abilities. He is also an extreme Hello! Project fan.

Yuya seems cool and calm, but has a competitive spirit, and will put his greatest effort into everything he does:

See the video below, where Paragon danced to Koishite Baila in 1.5x speed: as everybody else was freaking out, Yuya remained focused and didn't let himself cut corners even at the high speed.

And finally, the seventh member is Paragon's leader, Youta!
Member color: Yellow
Birthday: Dec 30
Blood type: B
Height: 171-172cm
Favorite food: Beef tongue and sweets
Hobby: Being an idol fan
Skills: Sports that involve a ball but NOT soccer

Youta is Paragon's mama and often cooks for the others. Tweets the weather forecast every morning. Does too many livestreams from the bath. Many of his posts include fanservice "imagine-me-as-ur-bf" scenarios. Often suggestive. Needs to be stopped from jokingly coming onto Nagi.

I hope you found this thread helpful! I'll be continuing to use this account to post some translations of members' tweets, Instagram stories/posts, blogs, and livestream snippets, so let's all enjoy these wonderful boys together and share them with the world!
