"I was going to use this as the extra stage theme. But I thought the extra stage song should be a little lighter, so I cried and cried and threw it out."

"ZUN traded his artistic talent so he could compose awesome music" —YouTube commentator

The Touhou Project really gets a lot of great pieces of music for being made up by a single guy with a synthesizer. To put the sheer number of remix CDs in perspective, there is a torrent which weights one terabyte (specifically 1.1 TiB or 1,203,075,354,327 bytes) of over 3000 Touhou remixes, and that only includes the ones that the (English-speaking) maintainers of the torrent have added. (that would take centuries to download over dial-up) and it's getting bigger as more remixes come around.
