What is /jp/'s favorite title screen theme? (I mean the actual song, not the screen itself). What makes it your favorite?

I'd like to do one of these for every category of track (ie. best stage 1 theme or best stage 3 boss theme) if people actually care.

this shit is peak
Sealed Gods. There's no real competition for me. Some of the title screen themes are really nice, but Sealed Gods has this transcendental timeless, ageless beaty to it. It sounds like an invitation to experience some kind of awesome mystery, which Mountain of Faith basicaly is.
>>49779973 (OP)My top 5 are TD, WBAWC, HM, 100BM and UDOALG.
Filtering out one favourite is hard...

i just think it sounds nice. I've never really hung out on the title screens that much to really take em all in
Sealed Gods and Awakening of the Earth Spirits are two of my favorites.
On the one hand, Sealed Gods from Touhou 10 is a relaxing song that expresses serenity, evoking the beautiful landscapes of the Youkai Mountain. Also, those sounds of falling raindrops, I think, makes it very immersive.
On the other hand, Awakening of the Earth Spirits from Touhou 11 is much more energetic, it feels like an invitation to adventure and has a Japanese touch that fits well with the folklore of the underworld.
The highest point on the mountain and the lowest point in the subterranean both fascinate me.
Submerged Hell of Sunken Sorrow is just the absolute coolest in every way. Sick-ass title, awesome instrumentation, plus it's really cool how it's leitmotif is reincorporated throughout the soundtrack.
MS has my favourite title theme. I like how the PC-98 title themes are very distinct from one another, and Mystic Square has this sense of wondrous adventure to it. I'm normally a big fan of leitmotifs, but the specific way ZUN uses the ZUNSoft jingle is pretty samey.
Runners up are PCB and TD. PCB's title has this mystical atmosphere and sounds almost forlorn, and TD's is catchy and one of the more interesting uses of Theme of Eastern Story.
