I tried my best to give it an eastern feel... That would've been nice, but then it didn't really sound like a song for shooters, so I took it out.

The song itself was really close to the image that I originally had...
But that means, the image that I had wasn't fit for an shooter in the first place. (laughs)
But it's rather to my likings.

The image for the song I had in in mind was starting as easy listening and moving to jazz-fusion. There are lots of good Japanese-made jazz out there too (unless they try to mimic songs from foreign artists.)

On a side note, when I used this song as an Extra stage track, I couldn't dodge the mid-boss's attaacks. (^^;
As I thought, there was a problem with the feeling. I can't dodge if there is no music.

This theme is also the unused extra stage theme of Shuusou Gyoku, the first Seihou game. While it may not fit with said stage, I can certainly see this fitting in rather well as a Staff Roll theme.

Also to say, I sorta miss this Eastern feel that ZUN conjured up in his past works. It's.. quite relaxing, and more often than not, it gives me a feeling of nostalgia ~
The feeling provided by this track also reminds me greatly of Legend of Hourai, which is also another absolute favorite of mine.
