> Putting two and two together you ponder why the cases were first labeled as "grave robberies"? Graves usually contain bones and occasionally valuables depending on cultural practices, you assume it'd be rather obvious to discern between a "mysterious death" and a "grave robbery". Unless... only skeletons were found, leading the guards to assume a grave robbery took place?
What about tracks 10 and 11? Did the video mention those?
Tracks 8 and 9 seem interesting to me. The name of track 9 literally mentions Jizo protects who protects the spirits of dead children and that all ties up with Ebisu, that's pretty obvious but I don't really see how that might be applied to Renko or Maribel. But, researching more into the topic, Jizo is also seen as a deity that protects travellers on roads and considering the name of track 8 literally has road in it, it's safe to assume they're connected in a way.
Considering all the Tanabata references, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch too see a parallel between Renko and Maribel with Orihime and Hikoboshi. ZUN might be too much of a coward to have them get together but he can't hide the romantic tensions between the two.

Youkai: Depends on what type of Youkai. Tsukumogami will likely go into vocations that fit their original objects and talents, with the side-job of scaring people. Beast Youkai will likely be roaming the Forests (Mainly the Great Youkai Forest and Bamboo Forest of The Lost) and devouring any Humans foolish enough to wander in with no protection. Vengeful Spirits are out to get revenge in general unless they mellow down, so their lives are focused solely on that goal. Then there are the Oni who are either partying and getting drunk every day between rounds of making people in Hell suffer if they're in current Hell.There's also the classical Youkai such as Tengu and Kappa that live on Youkai mountain. I'd argue they have the highest living conditions in Gensokyo، having technology "comparable or greater than the outside world's" and "an automated factory that produces the necessary items to meet the needs of everyday life". But the fact that they still use newspapers to transmit information still means they haven't developed cable television.
One more thing, shinigami don't hunt hermits, they give warnings but is not their job to hunt for them. The ones who hunt for hermits are Kishin, and from what I've seen, primarily nasty cases of them (like Seiga in WaHH), Kishins are no joke though so you may need to train a lot in case you get spotted by one.
That's about it
Gensokyo's youkai are forbidden from attacking humans. Why? Because they know that if the humans die out, the youkai can't keep existing either. So they settle for 'scaring them practically to death', at worst. However, with regards to the humans who disappear into Gensokyo from the Outside World, the rules are left unclear. Some violent youkai say that unmanaged Outsider humans ought to be fair game. Conversely, other youkai argue that because the Outside World keeps its humans under even stricter management than Gensokyo, laying a hand on them could lead to Gensokyo's discovery, putting its very existence in peril.
