And stage 5 contains some notes from DOJ's "main theme", coincidentally.
Personally I prefer SDOJ over that, because I only love stage 1 and 5 from the latter. Meanwhile, I love all of SDOJ's tracks. Even the boss theme, which gets so much undeserved flack.

my two cents on the stage 5 lasers:
they're easy as fuck imo, they do have a pre-warning before firing, its really quick, but really all you need to do is hold laser and position yourself properly
after a couple tries it becomes very easy to figure out how they interact between the other enemies beneath them
After ranting, I watched one of the most high-scoring replays (to see how I'm supposed to dodge them), and found out that bombing and point-blanking (or flying into, like I did later) bosses is a much, much easier and faster way to kill them than trying to dodge and autobombing anyway. Heck, against the stage 4 boss (who I like to call basketball girl, sorry for these stupid parentheses), I'll probably waste
less bombs this way.
What I'm saying is, wasting less bombs means having more of them for stage 5 and being able to make more mistakes. Ta-dah, maybe I'll reach the second midboss at some point.
As for the "pre-warming" you mentioned, the lasers aren't the problem (though I might have made you believe so by how I wrote about the lasers), mostly, but those things appearing out of nowhere and raping me. The part where you fly backwards and they appear at the bottom from both corners is especially frustrating.
