"A long time ago, when the world seemed much smaller, and the lands were still untamed, when there was no GPS, no compass, no chronometer at their disposal, in those days, the only thing sailors had to depend on in their voyages was light from the stars. As the wind blew on the sails, they used the guiding starlight to take them anywhere they wanted.

Anywhere at all."

[Yakumo Yukari, Variant Youyoumu]

I am aware that someone's already uploaded this song here, but I thought I could do a bit of variation by doing what Comrade Chaos has been doing in every video he uploaded (although I have to admit I suck at making up lengthy, if not amazing, speech). The thing is, this song got me hooked up to ZUN's original works (by original, I refer to songs that don't belong to any of his games) in general, and the original version of this song specifically.

Regarding Renko and Maribel, what else can I say about these two? They're outsiders who are interested in Gensokyo, are the best of friends, have awesome hats (I know somewhere out there, there's bound to be someone who wants to touch Renko's fedora =p), one of them has connection with a certain purple parasol lady *hinthint*, has a whole album dedicated to them (read the translation of Magical Astronomy). Also, the alternative title is correct as printed in the booklet, though in my opinion people will refer to Greenwich in the Sky more often.

On unrelated note, I would have titled this video "STRAM - Strange Travellers Renko And Maribel" but I thought that sounded somewhat silly.

In a casino-lounge, watching the people and the lights, just passing time... Thats what I see.

I actually found this song independently of Youtube (go me) on the huge torrent of lossy music that's quickly approaching 200 GB. A quick search through the lossless version, though, gives "[FactoryNoise＆AG]/2006.11.16 [FNAG-0011] Time Limit ～Eternity～/FactoryNoise＆AG - Time Limit ～Eternity～.tta".

In other words, it's FactoryNoise&AG, or whatever that circle was. Could've sworn it was usually phrased differently on youtube, but at this point, I'm too lazy to look.
