There were no comments for the original versions of these songs in Highly Responsive to Prayers; ZUN's comments here are all for the rearranged versions found in Mystic Square's Music Room. Many of the comments talk about how the Mystic Square arrangement differs from the original.

Title screen
A Sacred Lot

結構かっこよく生まれ変わったんじゃないかな。 それにしても懐かしい・・・

This is pretty awesomely reborn, I think. And yet, it really takes me back...

Theme of Levels 1-4, Hell (Jigoku) Levels 16-19
永遠の巫女 Eternal Shrine Maiden

このメロディは、自分の中では衝撃的で、いまでも曲を作るとき、思わず弾いてしまいます。

This melody had quite an impact on me. Even now, I'll find myself playing it when I compose music.

Shingyoku's theme
The Positive and Negative

今の曲と、若干なにかメロディに差がある気がするんですけど、何だろう・・・ (コード進行はあんまり変わらん(^^; )

I get the feeling there are a few melodic differences from my current music. What could they be...? (The chord progression hasn't changed much. (^^; )

Theme of Demon World (Makai) Levels 6-9 and Credits theme
Highly Responsive to Prayers

昔の曲をアレンジしてると、かなり暗い曲だな~と感じます。 このゲームでは、非常に珍しく落ち着いた曲なんじゃないかな。

I arranged an old musical piece, and now this one feels really gloomy. It's a calm piece, which really is a rarity for this game, isn't it.

Theme of Hell (Jigoku) Levels 6-9
東方怪奇談 Strange Oriental Discourse

この曲、私が生まれて初めて作ったゲーム用の曲です。だから、かなり思い入れがあります。 東方○○○っていうゲームタイトルもこの曲から取りました。

I composed this song for the first game I ever made, so I put quite a bit of thought into it. All the "Touhou OOO"-style game titles also stem from this piece.

YuugenMagan and Mima's theme
天使伝説 Angel's Legend

今のボスの曲の原型となった曲です。 今も大差無い様だけど、なぜか昔の曲の方が重い~(^^;; というか今の曲の方が軽いのか?(そんなことも無いような・・・)

This piece is the model for my current boss themes. It doesn't seem a lot different now, but somehow the older song has WEIGHT to it (^^;; Or maybe it's that the current pieces are light? (I don't think that's it either...)

Theme of Demon World (Makai) Levels 11-14
Oriental Magician

ちょっと、ノリよくアレンジしてるかも。元は暗かったからな~ なにげに、どの曲も和風だな~今と大違いだな~(;_;)

This might be a catchy arrangement, since it was originally sooo dark. Looks like I inadvertently made all the songs Japanese style...totally different from how I do it now. (;_;)

Theme of Hell (Jigoku) Levels 11-14
破邪の小太刀 Blade of Banishment

このゲームで一番明る目な曲じゃないかな。 だから、そういった感じを強調したアレンジにしてみました。

This is the most bright-eyed song in the game, I think. So I tried arranging it to emphasize that feel.

Elis and Kikuri's theme
魔鏡 Magic Mirror

この曲はなかなかいい感じかも。 中盤戦には欠かせないよね、こういう曲(ちょっぴり謎)。 でま~、いまの曲も大差ないんだが。

This piece has a pretty good feel to it. This kind of tune (with a touch of mystery) is indispensable for mid-game. Well, not that my current stuff's all that different.

Theme of Demon World (Makai) Levels 16-19
the Legend of KAGE

この曲は「東方怪奇談」の次に作った、自分の中では2曲目に当たるものです。 元が余りにも目茶苦茶なテンポだったんで少し遅くしてます。

This is the second song in my heart, composed right after "Strange Oriental Discourse". Originally, the tempo was pretty messed up, so I slowed it a bit.

Demon World (Makai) Final Stage theme 1 / Sariel's first theme
いざ、倒れ逝くその時まで Now, Until the Moment You Die

この曲はラストっぽくていいですねここに来て初めて、和風っぽくないですね~。 元曲より大分聞き安くなったかな。

Nice piece for endgame, huh? Once you finally get here, it doesn't feel all that Japanese, does it. This may be a lot easier on the ears than the original piece.

Demon World (Makai) Final Stage theme 2 / Sariel's second theme
死なばもろとも (TH01 music test) Death Will Take You With Me (TH01 music test)

Civilization of Magic (TH05 arrange)

ほとんど未使用曲です。ゲームではちょっとしか使ってません。 本当はタイトル用に作った曲なんですが、ちょっと使えなくて・・・ アレンジではタイトルっぽく仕上げてみました。(この曲はお気に入り)

I've almost never used this piece. It's only used for a brief moment in the game. I actually composed this for its title, so I couldn't use it afterward... For the arrangement, I tried touching it up to give the feel of its title. (This piece is my favorite.)

Hell (Jigoku) Final Stage theme / Konngara's theme
星幽剣士 (TH01 music test)

星幽天使 (TH05 arrange)

Swordsman of a Distant Star (TH01 music test)

Angel of a Distant Star (TH05 arrange)

まじかよっ、てくらい展開の速い曲ですね。 短いフレーズを寄せ集めてます。 それでもアレンジで大分ましになったのかな?

This song unfolds so fast, it's like, "Are you kidding me?". It puts together short phrases. And yet, did arranging it make it much better?

Ending theme
アイリス Iris

短くていい感じ。アイリスの花でも想像して下さい。 桃源郷が見えてきそうだし。 (だいたい謎)

Short and sweet. Please envision irises. You might even see Shangri-La. (It's pretty mysterious.)

Unused Track
風の神社 Shrine of the Wind
