I like the range of ideas that this song explores. This song manages to sound elegant, oriental (chinese sounding), mysterious, cute, and lively all at the same time. ZUN described this particular track as his "toy-box" and it definitely shows with how creative and dynamic this song is.
I thought that the violin that came right after the beautiful piano intro sounded pretty derpy in the original, so I decided to change it into an understated organ accompanied by some soft strings for the remix. Also the bandoneon/accordion makes its glorious return in 1:35 after six touhou remixes of not being used. That particular part was just begging to be played by a reed instrument. The rest of the song is basically my usual palette of bells and synths.

ZUN's Commentary:
Extra stage theme.
Sometimes it's Chinese, sometimes it's New Age. Why?
This is what happens after messing with my keyboard.
It's like an accumulation of my laziness. If you listen closely, there are many strange rhythms in this song. In other words, my toy-box.
