this is what Higurashi is about everyone have their traumas, their sins, mistakes, and they were all able to live foward the strong bond in their friendship is unbreakable, even tought some adaptations try to show the contrary, the Game Club have a friendship so strong it passed through multiple fragments, even the most weirdest ones i can't be thank ryukishi enough for creating this masterpiece, Higurashi is not just a lesson, it's a world, it's a sentimental journey through the life of those kids and their fight to break the destiny
Though you have to get into Satokos shoes. It really looked like Rika didn't care about her anymore. Probably not even about the others. Satoko felt like a hostage for spending all her years studying to stay with Rika. And at first chance Rika just discards her. I think Gou could have shown that more sensibly and psychologically. Then maybe Gou and Sotsu would have been more enjoyable
The most beautiful song about Higurashi and captures the essence of the entire series perfectly. People need to realise there is more to this anime than just blood and death.
This Anime is simply an impressive masterpiece of modern art. The story, the mystery, the characters, the music, the backstory, the atmosphere, the narrative style, the thriller and horror elements, the love put into it, the designs - I could go on forever. It's one of the best Anime I've ever seen and there are layers of depth to it western media and even a shit ton of other Anime can't even dream of having. There will always be a special place in my heart for this Anime.
Its Such an Amazing Masterpiece, How they Connected Everything, And the Whole Squad's Friendships, I Don't Really care What People Say About Rei, Kira or Even Outbreak because First they are Side Stories But i Find them Extremely Heartwarming Seeing Everyone Get along.
Likewise there's more to this sound novel than just anime. If you're really about that deeper meaning stuff, how about appreciating and crediting the source?
I just finished this series 30 minutes ago, I gotta say it's 100% tied for my favorite fictional series of all time. Even if the visual novel is about 100 hours long, I can't remember a single minute where I was bored. The story just immerses you into Hinamizawa so well, and uses its long length to allow you to build up emotional attachments to each character, and also place them in interesting situations each arc and develop them much further than what you initially thought of them. Not only that, but it ties its themes about trust, miracles, working together, and the dangers of scapegoating into the story in such an unforgettable way, so that it really convinces you to believe in what the story is trying to tell you. A true masterpiece.
I just love Keiichi's character. He is the one who always gave hope to the group. When you really say "power of friendship" it is actually this anime and it isn't cheesy. Rarely saw such a powerful anime with such a powerful character like Keiichi.
Those kids deserve a better ending where everyone is alive and happy. They’ve been through so much pain and yet they changed their fates over and over. There is nothing more valuable than friendship.
This is still my favorite anime, and this song perfectly captures what makes it such an incredible series. After so much heartache and bloodshed, they were finally able to break free. This series deserves to be ranked as one of the most beautiful stories of all time, right along with Clannad, The Count of Monte Cristo, Les Miserables, and others.
I find that most very heartfelt animes, like higurashi and clannad, started out as visual novels, which were amazing in their own way. Just imagine, we wouldn't have these awesome animes if people didn't make awesome visual novels and received a lot of attention. I'm glad some visual novels get popular and animes are made for them, because it spreads the knowledge of these games and then this supports the release of future visual novels. Another one of my favorite animes is based on a visual novel, and that's stein's;gate. It's awesome
@@clarificationmayberequired Watched the first season of Higurashi and then started the VNs they are great but so much longer to go through. 1 anime episode = 3 hours of VN partially due to content and partially due to VN inherently being a slower medium. I am reading a "Chapter" of VN then watching the associated Anime arch.
@@threecards333 you miss out on a lot of details if you only watch anime though (obviously) the VN gives you many more hints and help you figure things out better, and since it's in first person you can truly understand the thoughts and feelings of the protagonist
Ryukishi himself said Key's works (including Clannad) gave him inspirations and he write Higurashi in the same format: Happy play time to get you attached to the characters, then tragedy, then a happy ending
@@latemporis5430 I fully agree, I also learned a lot of very interesting history/Japanese perceptions of WW2 from the VN. Also it is far more detailed about the virus and although theories about the syndrome.
I mean, everyone is done by their actual voice actors, so I guess it makes sense to have Satsuki Yukino record the same lines twice in two slightly different tones.
Try your best to forget the ending, and then read the visual novels, they are even better, but it doesn't work as well if you remember too much of the anime.
Daniel Lundberg I rather disagree. The Visual Novels are constructed in such a way that if you know what's coming, it actually hits harder because you start to see that it's focused with those twists in mind. For instance, the dynamic between Keiichi and Rena is addressed more in Onikakushi-hen than it is in the next 4 novels combined. I'm inclined to think this is because of what ends up happening, and knowing that it was going to happen made these sequences seem a lot more tragic.
For me, the main appeal of the story is that you have no idea what's coming, and as soon as you have an idea everything is turned up side down, and if you remember the ending matsuribayashi will be a lot less exciting, for obvious reasons.
Daniel Lundberg I suppose. It's an entirely different experience when you know what's coming versus when you don't, and neither of them is lesser than the other
I can agree with that, but I still hold the position that you should not know how matsuribayashi ends when you start it. I do intend to read the visual novels again, but for a 2nd read the details that you missed due to not knowing that story will be in focus, a prime example would that you'll know why Shion says "You don't have to remember that" when they're remembering other timelines.
Remember when the original Higurashi was about trusting your friends, speaking to and relying on your friends and/or loved ones when you're going through hard times? What the heck happened to that in the new series? Why is Satoko suddenly going all (uncharacteristically)Yandere over Rika and killing all her other friends for no good reason? What happened to this group of good friends who were willing to literally die for each other?
Even after so many years... at times i remember that great story and return to listen rhis song. Thanks Ryukishi07 for all his novels, without them i probably wouldn't be a person i am now.
Novels are originals. You can find Higurashi series in Steam. Dunno about Umineko and Higanbana series, I read them years ago, downloading from russian torrent tracker(Rutracker).
@Annie Granham I highly doubt Gou will have a happy enough ending for that considering where it falls in the timeline and the presence of a certain theatergoer in the opening. To borrow the words of a certain witch: This Story Will Not Have a Happy Ending. Or to borrow Rika's own words from the manga: You've gone and turned the page, here you had a happy ending and now its all ruined.
@Annie Granham Blind hope for people is what got battler fucked in the first couple goes around in Umineko. Sometimes you gotta realize shits gonna suck and deal with it. And this is likely the tale of a certain Witch of Miracles.
I finished the Higurashi VNs yesterday. Tonight, I hear this piece, and I am moved to tears again. Before Higurashi, I hadn't cried for years... Also, it's my eighteenth birthday tomorrow. I believe I am ready. Thank you, Ryukishi.
@@AliasZiro In her defense I think most would go a little insane after watching a hundred years of the most gruesome tragedies that could happen to you and your friends. She'll probably have an inner struggle between the witch that's taken over her mind and her normal self, and if what happened so far is any indicator, her friends will probably help her with that - even if some (Rika) will learn the whole truth, and the others bits and pieces. One thing for sure: I miss Hanyuu. Hope in some manner - any manner - they'll bring her back.
I know! I'm looking foward to reading them, I know it will be awesome. I already read the Umineko VN some years ago too, so it's time for Higurashi now! Thanks for the comment tho :D
I'm pondering if I should read the Umineko series or not, I just feel that there's no way they can be even close to what the Higurashi series, just when you think you have a grasp on what's happening, he turn everything around again, and those feels! You're so happy at the end, because how it turned out, but then you almost have withdrawal.
Its even better about that. If you think you have no idea whats going on in Higurashi and if you think he was pulling out the rug on you there, you're in for a nasty surprise in Umineko. He turns the trolling up to 11. The mystery is more complex, more devious, and generally more well crafted, in my opinion. Then again, that comes with the territory of it being much closer to golden age detective fiction than Higurashi was.
While it's labeled as a horror anime I don't usually consider it that personally, I consider it more of a mystery anime, but that's just me. Some parts can be scary and some parts are quite violent but you've gotta stick it out. This anime is definitely worth sticking through. The more violent and scary parts are in the question arc (Higurashi no naku koro ni) and then it moves along into the answer arc (Higurashi no naku koro ni kai). Hope this answers you question :3
@Bobaru Bear We still don't know how it's going to end. Higurashi was never about friendship until we learned about the answer arcs and solutions to their problems. Let's wait it out, maybe there's a solution that's in the spirit of the series waiting.
@@meeramalhotra33 I lost faith in ryukishi after the first half of this season -- big mistake. He turned the 2nd half of Gou around in a big way, and restored my faith that he will deliver an outstanding finish to the series. Give it a chance.
I feel betrayed, I know it's like 99% impossible for Gou to have a happy ending so please just make it a bittersweet ending. Kek it was a happy ending but It felt so incomplete. I trust the 4chan leaker that there will be more in 2022.
Don't let yourself get convinced by that. Satoko won't give up like some people predict, but she will see this again lmao, she will love her friends again somehow
This song is just aesome. It explains what Higruashi truly is and the great themes behind it. Too many people get caught up on the murder and fail to see the real beauty in the series. (P.S. I like what you did with the chibis :3)
This song...really makes me wanna hug my best friends. I mean, seriously. It shows that there isn't a person in the world that knows you better than the friends that help you through hardships. I think it's SO important to have friends that can help you through anything, and that you can trust. Great song. TRULY great song.
This has got to be the best song from any anime. Especially Horie Yui's part after they do their little "cheer" talk. 5:13 Then again, this could just be because my mind associates the song to the story instantly and that makes the emotions of the song all that more poignant. Love the instrumental of this too though.
I always thought that Reina had this really strange line compared to everyone else. I always thought that she was literally saying people who are losers are worthless, which really confused me. It took me all the way up until the last episode of Kai when Reina actually says it in context to figure out what she meant, now I love it.
The feeling I feel when I listen to the entire cast signing at once... it's an odd combination of "heartwarming" and "awesome". Such a strong, pure feeling, though.
This is making me tear up this is so sweet all of them singing together and their lyrics that relate to their own Tragic back story's and to the whole story in a way .
This anime is like no other. It makes you think of our life, and the imprints we make on our earth. It also makes us think of justice, and how the truth is sometimes held only in the eye of the person or people there. It leaves you with a feeling of peace, fear, and love. I cried when I heard this song, because of the message and how all of these characters sing together as one. I strongly recommend this anime. It's.....Absolutely wonderful.
I am currently sitting under the Night Dky in Shirakawa-go and have drunk 3 cups of Sake and listening to this... i think i will dedicate my Life now for the Goal to Live in here.
Very happy to see Satoshi there too, because in my opinion Satoshi didn't get enough attention in the main show. So, I think the main idea was for "important teens" to sing. Also, does anyone know a song in which voice actor of Takano, Oishi or Irie sing? Let me know, please ;)
This song is beautiful in so many ways. I hope someday I'm also able to create bonds with some people nearly as strong as the bonds those characters developed throughout the series. And of course, I hope it doesn't include all the murder and gore parts, hahaha!
Mion disappearing is an editing error USODA, you know the Gou plot 10 years ahead and have been looping to tell us all along she was first to disappear from the bonds. This level of reasoning was possible for Furudo Erika. What do you think, everyone?
Ah, it's Anime. Y'know. The art and entertainment form that makes you give a shit. ... seriously. When I first started watching adult Anime... my mind was blown. No - I was actually shocked. ^^
![[Vocal] Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (Dear You -Hope) (subbed)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/SqI4bEfEmrQ/mqdefault.jpg)
this is what Higurashi is about
everyone have their traumas, their sins, mistakes, and they were all able to live foward
the strong bond in their friendship is unbreakable, even tought some adaptations try to show the contrary, the Game Club have a friendship so strong it passed through multiple fragments, even the most weirdest ones
i can't be thank ryukishi enough for creating this masterpiece, Higurashi is not just a lesson, it's a world, it's a sentimental journey through the life of those kids and their fight to break the destiny
Their is really a before and after watching higurashi
Satoko in this song:"If you have problems talk to your friends."
Satoko in Gou: "I refuse to do that"
XD
VERY SAD
Lol
Lambdadelta: And I took that personally
Though you have to get into Satokos shoes. It really looked like Rika didn't care about her anymore. Probably not even about the others. Satoko felt like a hostage for spending all her years studying to stay with Rika. And at first chance Rika just discards her.

You summed up everything I wanted to say about this show
Likewise there's more to this sound novel than just anime. If you're really about that deeper meaning stuff, how about appreciating and crediting the source?
This has to be the best variant of Dear You out there. Having the cast come together to sing this song is just pure genius.
If this was not the credits song for the final episode after everyone finally survived together in a timeline, I will be quite disappointed.
WatcherCCG the movie really ruins the last episode
Kristoph Gavin
What movie? You mean Outbreak?
Rena Ryuugu yes.

I would like to think of it as something that is completely separate and does not necessarily follow the timeline of Higurashi Kai.

Indeed! I love Keichi and Satoshi - they are indicators of pure friendship and belief in other human. I want to be such good as they!
Can't help but love all of them
@@godiloveminininjas4278 even satoko cause Sometimes I feel like giving her the rika treatment 🪑
Rena's line "Trust me. Hold out your hands." is a line from the first episode just before keiichi kills Mion and Rena with the baseball bat...
You mean the Onikakushi Hen?
Yeah he was affected by the hinamizwa Syndrome.
This moment made Rena my fav waifu of all time.
Those kids deserve a better ending where everyone is alive and happy. They’ve been through so much pain and yet they changed their fates over and over. There is nothing more valuable than friendship.

Every version feels kinda depressing, but then in this one, after they all come together, they make a happy one

2020 now a remake of higurashi
This anime is legendary
Just watched the first episode. I'm ready to go through the pain all over again just so I can feel the joy again at the end.
It's not a remake how sad
mion disappearing was oyashirosamas curse
Pigziggy lawl
xD
Wait What are you talking about? XD
CrazedSmiles so you haven’t watch the anime yet
Little did we know, it foreshadowed Gou...
This song is just aesome. It explains what Higruashi truly is and the great themes behind it. Too many people get caught up on the murder and fail to see the real beauty in the series. (P.S. I like what you did with the chibis :3)
I'M NOT CRYING
Then what are those droplets pouring from your eyes?
LOL those droplets
I'm not crying! You're crying!
really i am cuz i dont have friends and i wish i had friends
+Cheese Heater no you're crying
Always remember, the bonds you have with your love ones are always far more stronger than your problems❤
This song...really makes me wanna hug my best friends. I mean, seriously. It shows that there isn't a person in the world that knows you better than the friends that help you through hardships. I think it's SO important to have friends that can help you through anything, and that you can trust. Great song. TRULY great song.
Funny that Rika mentions "Miracles". There's at least three layers of meaning to her using the word miracle in this song...
This has got to be the best song from any anime. Especially Horie Yui's part after they do their little "cheer" talk. 5:13
Then again, this could just be because my mind associates the song to the story instantly and that makes the emotions of the song all that more poignant. Love the instrumental of this too though.
This song... the background... fill people who grew up in village/town with much more nostalgy than those who grew up in cities
I always thought that Reina had this really strange line compared to everyone else. I always thought that she was literally saying people who are losers are worthless, which really confused me. It took me all the way up until the last episode of Kai when Reina actually says it in context to figure out what she meant, now I love it.
いやー、いつ聞いてもいい曲です
Tv tropes sent me here, finished Higurashi some months ago, crying so much right now, geez
This song made me want to rewatch higurashi. xD
This song made me want to WATCH higurashi! in fact... *Sprints into a pirated anime site*
After so many years still my favorite anime Im so happy new people got interested on it now with the new season !
2020 .. im still love higurashi
facts
i cry literally every time
This is one of, if not the only video I can consistently come back to and get chills from. It's wonderful.
I would say I like the twins the best. They were so interesting to me. Rika and satoko are good too. It was kinda weird hearing keichi sing.
Im not crying... Just some dust went into my eyes :'(
The feeling I feel when I listen to the entire cast signing at once... it's an odd combination of "heartwarming" and "awesome". Such a strong, pure feeling, though.
Also this song was great everyone sang it nicely
Friendship goes through any kind of storm without losing its power
That is what Higurashi taught me :D
1:40
maybe,
About destiny and the courage to fight
↓
About the courage to fight against destiny
agree
Gou stop it, you are hurting meeeeeeee
Since I could meet my friends here in Hinamizawa. That is the miracle of this story.
Higurashi really is a beautiful anime...and it’s crazy...and that’s why I love it even more😭❤️
It's the greatest anime of all times. Thank you
HOLY- I REGRET WATCHING THIS IN THE MORNING FULL OF PEOPLE, I'M STARTING TO TEAR UP AHHH THIS IS SO TOUCHING I CAN'T
Hello old friend.
I miss 2016
I love this song! It reminds me of the bonds that the characters made in Kai. I WANNA TAKE IT HOME!
Yui Horie and Yukari Tamura have a beautiful voice !
This is making me tear up this is so sweet all of them singing together and their lyrics that relate to their own Tragic back story's and to the whole story in a way .
the visual novel is the most fulfilling higurashi experience. no other higu media will compare. ooogh...
I've never watched this anime but this song still makes me cry.
Watch it, it’s worth it
read the vn and then watch the anime! it's a magical experience
Did You watch it already? :)
一生色褪せない名曲とアニメ
This anime is like no other. It makes you think of our life, and the imprints we make on our earth. It also makes us think of justice, and how the truth is sometimes held only in the eye of the person or people there. It leaves you with a feeling of peace, fear, and love. I cried when I heard this song, because of the message and how all of these characters sing together as one. I strongly recommend this anime. It's.....Absolutely wonderful.
Dear You - Kizuna
Sung by Yukari Tamura (Rika), Yui Horie (Hanyu), Mai Nakahara (Rena), Sochiro Hoshi (Keiichi), Yu Kobayashi (Satoshi), Mika Kanai (Satoko) and Satsuki Yukino (Mion & Shion)
I got chills when they all started singing together. This is my favorite version of this song c':
I am currently sitting under the Night Dky in Shirakawa-go and have drunk 3 cups of Sake and listening to this... i think i will dedicate my Life now for the Goal to Live in here.
Five years later, and this song still gets to me every time.
Higurashi will always hold a special place in my heart.
dude i LOVE rikas voice, shes one of my favorite anime characters of all time!!!!
i love satoko and she has a really good voice
Satoko's my girl. I love her too.
I love this song! In fact, I LOVE all the songs in the Dear You album! They all give me such chills......in a good way! 😁😭😉
I think it was cool how the character(s) was highlighted or became colorful when singing
Once at year I rewatch higurashi, the most beautiful anime I' ve ever seen
Very happy to see Satoshi there too, because in my opinion Satoshi didn't get enough attention in the main show.
So, I think the main idea was for "important teens" to sing.
Also, does anyone know a song in which voice actor of Takano, Oishi or Irie sing?
Let me know, please ;)
hear this song at the end of higurashi sotsu, made me so happy
I really want to assemble a group in my school to perform this. It would be so much fun
satoko sounds cuuuuuuuuuute 😆
This song is beautiful in so many ways. I hope someday I'm also able to create bonds with some people nearly as strong as the bonds those characters developed throughout the series. And of course, I hope it doesn't include all the murder and gore parts, hahaha!
Hearing this makes me want to make a rythm game, something like "Higurashi no Dansu Koro Ni", and make this the grand finale song.
Satoshi, please come back to your friends :'(
It's so.... BEAUTIFUL !!! I LOVE IT !!
I'm so happy you enjoy it so much X3 Thank you and your welcome.
Mion disappearing is an editing error
USODA, you know the Gou plot 10 years ahead and have been looping to tell us all along she was first to disappear from the bonds.
This level of reasoning was possible for Furudo Erika. What do you think, everyone?
Rewatching the series, and I had to come listen to this song after Kai episode 13...it's the perfect transition into the final arc
been 10 years and still so good
I still love this song and this anime after all these years.
this is amazing. i loved every second of it!! the translation really spoke to me...! VERY WELL DONE~!
okay, I have just completed my ritual "dear you" marathon
This is always so moving no matter how many times you hear it.
I love that cirno picture xD
Watching this makes you forget about the violence of the anime. Very soothing...
That was beautiful... Made me so happy to see everyone live!
Edit: Not... that I feel bad for them or anything... >_>
Ah, it's Anime.
Y'know. The art and entertainment form that makes you give a shit.
... seriously. When I first started watching adult Anime... my mind was blown. No - I was actually shocked. ^^
Hahaha, so was I.
I've always loved choruses XD
They always sound so majestic and all :)
This is great. Downloaded instantly. Even before I heard the beginning.
>2:16 "The cry of the cicadas turn into psalms"
He can't keep getting away with it
?
Higurashi.....brings back so many memories...
I love the dialogue part... so sweet
I love this anime, so much
This song will never fail to give me full body chills and tears. It’s just so powerful.
I'm glad I came back to this now that sotsu is over
I hope they play this at the end of the new series.
I hope Satoshi wakes up
