This is Saigyouji Yuyuko's Theme.
Personally, I think PCB is the most beautiful Danmaku ever, and it reaches its climax in the final boss battle with the Princess of the Dead.
While the music is majestic and graceful, it compliments the intense battle of bullets with a screeching sound of trumpets. If you get a MP3 of official album version of Touhou songs, you'll discover that second to Necrofantasia, this song + Border of Life (Saigyouji Ayakashi) is the "loudest" song of all Touhou music.
I took some thought to bring this to a short version where the music is made much more calm, less key signature changes and simplest to the core (unlike any other of my predecessors, you'll find that I didn't grab any chords on my right hand). It lacks richness that way, but I think it's another way to enjoy this graceful song.
Seriously, this song is meant to be heard with full bloom of Cherry Blossoms in endless rows, with its numerous petal falling from a gush of wind, with a Tatami and a hot sake to enjoy the Phantasmagoria right in the middle. Too bad I don't live in Japan.
Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome ~ Border of Life is owned by the Kannushi of the Hakurei Shrine.
東方妖々夢 ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom
Border of life sounds great even without the right hand playing chords. The simplicity of the theme is beautiful by itself.
