Recorded on a real SC-88Pro. ® ZUN / 上海アリス幻樂団
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:

The character's a military man, but I don't have much experience with military things so I had problems coming up with a title. Well, he's from the Air Force, and you fight him in the sky, so "Firmament Army" seemed to work...

This is the theme for the stage 3 boss, Gates.

Well, he's a male character, so I was lost on how to create an appropriate theme (^^; And he's military. I don't have much experience with military things, so it was all too mysterious.

So, of course, I just went about business as usual (^^; I really did want to give it my all ...

Even though I say it's magical-girl-ish, it seems to be popular *sweatdrop*

軍人言われても、ミリタリのイメージに貧困な私はいい曲名が思いつかなかったです。 結局、空軍よりさらに上空で闘う軍隊「天空アーミー」ということで・・・

３面ボス、ゲイツのテーマです。

男キャラって事で、今まで創った事のないテーマでちょっと戸惑いましたが（＾＾； しかも軍人。ミリタリのイメージに非常に乏しい私としても謎が多すぎる。

で、結局、いつも通りでいきました（＾＾； 精一杯頑張ったつもりなんですけどね～

魔法チックな少女の曲っていっても通用しそう（汗）
