ZUN's comment (from Mystic Square): I composed this song for the first game I ever made, so I put quite a bit of thought into it. All the "Touhou OOO"-style game titles also stem from this piece.
ZUN's comment (th1_04.txt): Thank you for downloading this song.
This is "Eastern Strange Discourse" from Highly Responsive to Prayers.
This song is, to me, one of the most historic (well, it's really just old (^^;), so I play it every now and then, such that I've gotten quite used to it.
