The uncertainly strong stage 1 theme from Shuusou Gyoku, which has a heavy sense of an adventure beginning. Would probably best fit early-game levels with somewhat of a more serious tone. The key of the song is also based on the ZUN's later arrangement, although slightly flat because I felt it gave it a certain charm. The mixing is mostly based on SC-88 recordings of the song, though there's some sprinkles of the GM mixing as well.
On the technical side, this was an intersting song to port because, 8 channels barely being enough aside, there are lots of sections where there's tons of channels of @1 playing together, which thankfully don't overlap (somehow).
I took some slight liberties with the panning, especially with the square waves, since the original uses a lot of same-note/different-instrument channels panned away from each other (which I didn't have space for here), and had a lot of the unique channels exclusively panned to the left, which would end up a bit obnoxious.
