South North Story

"How are you doing?"

- Kagamine Rin and Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche

South North Story is a song released by Akuno-P in collaboration with uniMemo-P on November 28, 2008. According to both producers, the song crosses over two Rins from different worlds as they meet per happenstance.

Plot
In an unspecified modern city in Japan, Riliane heads south while wondering where and who she is. Rin heads north looking for a girl she doesn't really know. At an intersection, the two meet and are baffled by their resemblance to each other, but decide to have a chat while they have the chance. Over drinks, Rin discusses how Riliane looks like her, but doesn't act the same, and Riliane says if they switched places no one would notice. The song notes how, in the south, Rin was just a student at school, while Riliane's country was ruined in the north. The duo talks about all the good and bad things that happened to each other in their respective lives, including an image from the events of Regret Message. The two note how they look alike but come from two different worlds.

Len appears, strumming on his guitar. He sings in English about the crossing worlds and how the girls are alike but not the same, and that there's "no reason" for it but they're there anyway, ending by saying it is "time to go". In the end, Rin and Riliane have to part ways, but both of them have high hopes that they will meet again at the crossing some day.

Composition
The tune manipulates both Kagamine Rin and Len voicebanks, with a combination of Rin's act 1 and 2 vocals, for the Vocaloid 2 engine. As a collaboration, both Mothy and uniMemo-P utilized Kagamine Rin, whereas Len was only portrayed by uniMemo-P.
