Discovered this through a twitter post mentioning some games with good use of the YM2612 sound chip and couldn't resist. The soundtrack is indeed unusually good, and worth a listen.

Gameplay and general concept consists of a player character and a secondary AI shooter which can be turned to fire left or right (is similar to Forgotten Worlds). It's nothing groundbreaking but the simple management element is just different enough, and challenging enough to maintain interest. The game also looks nice, with its anime stylization that at times resembles old Mega Man mixed with Parodius.
