South North Story

"How are you doing?"

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 boy 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 two talk 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.

Curiosities

 * The first letters of the three words (SNS) is a reference to RinLenSNS, a social website visited by mothy before achieving greater popularity.
 * The song Screws, Clockwork, and Pride also features two Rins of both versions and is created by the same two producers.
 * Rilliane's comment about how easily the two Rins could switch places references The Servant of Evil and Allen's reversal with her to escape the Lucifenian Resistance.
 * The given interpretation is that the second girl is just Kagamine Rin and the other is Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche from  The Daughter of Evil . It is based on a motif picture that looks very similar to a motif picture of the Evil Series' Rin and Len standing back-to-back (a princess Rin and a butler Len) along with a brief shot with a princess looking similar to the Daughter of Evil. However, this is not stated directly at all by Akuno-P, and is purely fans' presumption. The song can be alternatively considered as a "crossover".
 * In Wiegenlied of Green,  Michaela  was singing a variation of "South North Story" in Aceid until she was discovered by Allen Avadonia.
