Touhou Perfect Cherry Blossom freezes on start of new game

Hi all,

When attempting to run an english-patched copy of Touhou Youyoumu: Perfect Cherry Blossom, I am running into some issues. The program will start and load the main menu, but the music is absent (sound effects still seem to work, however). After selecting a character from the New Game option, the program will briefly show a “now loading” screen before freezing and not responding to any input, requiring a force stop.

Below is a link to the output of each requested file in Ubuntu Paste and a screenshot of the point where the game freezes.
