Shuusou Gyoku (秋霜玉) was the first game in the Seihou Project (西方) series, released in 2000 by Amusement Makers. It had 20 MIDI tracks by ZUN (of Touhou Project fame) for the Roland SC-88Pro Sound Canvas hardware module. It's most famous for its extra stage, set in Gensokyo, where Marisa Kirisame and Reimu Hakurei appear as bosses.

ZUN's comment:

This time it really is a space stage, so Sputnik. The sorrowful satellite from the former Soviet Union. Not like an antique like that will show up in the game (lol) Not even Laika.

This is the stage 4 theme.

Space, now I'm mega lost (lol) The dissonance right from the start makes it space music (no way!)

It really feels like super old game music, I think...

This also feels kind of like pop music, and even though I always wrote dark songs like this for Touhou, it has kind of a mysterious feel to it. 　(Huh? Isn't this kind of upbeat, too? *sweatdrop*)

こんどこそ、宇宙面ということで、スプートニク（Sputnik) 。 旧ソ連の哀しき人工衛星。ゲーム中はそんなアンティークな人工衛星も出てこないけどね（笑）ライカ犬も。

４面テーマです。

宇宙、やや戸惑い（笑） 出だしから不協和音のあたりが宇宙（違）
やや古めのゲームミュージックの感じがでるようにしてるのですが．．．

これもポップな感じがして、東方の時あんなに暗い曲ばかりたったのに不思議な感じがします。 　（え？これも明るくない？（汗））
