This is the Stage 1 theme.

I tried to bring out an "introductory" feeling, along with the exhilaration of summer.
It's a pretty light theme, even by Touhou standards. Did I manage to express a feeling of speed, I wonder?

With all said and done, it goes well with a beer.

The original tune and first arrange that I've shared invokes a feeling of speed and cheeriness, however here we have a more calming take of the theme itself. It's a lovely track to listen to while relaxing, though perhaps an array of baked sweets would be a more suitable accompaniment rather than beer.
