This was a very good run. Perfect stage 3, no death 1 bomb Yuki/Mai battle (resulting in DreamBonus Max throughout the first half of stage 5, and a substantially higher score than usual), several lucky dodges during the second half of stage 5... It still ended up being a rather close finish, though, due to several deaths on Shinki's curvy lasers. (Also forgot to stop shooting at the start of the Shinki battle, but luckily the random death glitch didn't occur this time.)

I actually reached stage 6 in a 1cc attempt in this game before accomplishing that in Touhou 7, 8, 10, or 11, but I didn't get the 1cc for quite a while, strangely enough.

By the way I noticed that this game seems to rely more on fast bullets for difficulty than dense patterns, other than a few places, such as those rings during the stage portion of stage 4.

Speaking of stage 4, white bullets on a light blue background are really hard to see... random deaths on that stage probably caused the majority of failed attempts at this. Well, that, Louise's laser phase (probably caused more than half of my restarts, considering I wouldn't restart on a random death in stage 4), Shinki's curvy lasers, and two/four specific phases of Yumeko.
