Lyrics: (Intro) To get my happiness I had done everything, But had done nothing to be blamed and accused of The sound of footsteps became louder every day, Then I noticed the fact there was no time I was a believer in life to be myself always, And was asking whether I would be alive Give me a reason why not to adopt in this way, Or judge me to be guilty of so many incurable sins Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much, Maybe I overlooked something fatal for me... The whole world was at a complete standstill, And I was in fetters at the mercy of the mob The silent warning became louder every day Then I kept pretending not to hear Its meaning had been in the eyes of beholder all along It had grown dark before I found a sign "Among the nonsense tragedies, what on earth you are looking for? You only have to be honest to yourself and your own fate." Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much, Maybe I overlooked something fatal for me There is nobody who knows there will be nobody Except for me, all the world has gone mad... So what is forgiveness you are willing to withhold? What is the well-being you are willing to make? Now what? So what? Don't you come interrupt me, oh please While I am interrupting myself
@@Oni0o0 I only meant that I listened to this song for YEARS and did not know until I say a comment on TH-cam. A guy asked what's the song from Higurahi with the bad Engrish..... I was flabbergasted!!!!!!!
The theme behind this story is learning how to forgive yourself from all the wrong you’ve done. All the kids did some sort of horror in their own way and for their own reasons. At the end of the series everyone realizes it’s been a loop all along and it’s up to them to recognize their sins and to try and be a better person in a fresh time line. It’s all about recognizing you’ve done bad but you have the power to fix it by starting to forgive yourself. Only then can you heal
SPOILER: not really their sin when they were influenced by Takano who injected in the community of Hinamizawa the lethal disease. But that is what the feeling of committing a sin is like. You know you are not completely responsible for the wrong that you did; nevertheless, you were the one who did it, and you feel sinful for it. I really love how this song portrays this subtle feeling.
My favorite part, When begins in 5:08 Don't be afraid of the day to come Do not hurt your own heart Do not apologize for past events Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Abolished Satan Chapter 4, Interference Can you believe it?
"Can you believe in things you can see? Can you believe in living? Can you believe in me? - Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Spirited Away by the Demon Chapter 2, The Secret. Can you believe it?"
The final scene of the first season is so unnerving, just hearing Rika's voice, seeing the vacant Hinamezawa and hearing this song, it just all fit perfectly.
About the same level as One Punch Man's season 1 ending song; a romantic like song after a spectacular battle, very contrasting with the super heroic opening song.
I remember when I was in 4th year high school, my sister and I sang this song in front of our class. Our teacher asked us if it was a religious song. I can`t tell her that it came from an anime with so much gore on it. LOL
It`s a very interesting horror anime and the op and ed song is really related to it so it`s a catch. Just finish it until the end, it`s really interesting. :)
I feel like it could describe all the characters at one point or another. I remember watching the shorter version at the end of each episode and thinking, "wait this is describing what just happened..."
Higurashi is honestly probably my favorite anime of all time. I'll probably always come back from time to time to rewatch it and this ending is a beautiful arrangement for a great horror anime with a deeper story
It is astounding how much they captured the real image of Shirakawa-go in this series. If you go there you can visit every place animated in Higurashi.
I've listen to this song for many years and not once have I noticed until tonight that Rena was standing in the reflection at 1:29. It gave me chills...this anime still finds ways to frighten me after all these years.
Despite how popular it was, it is surely going to be buried with our memory, which is kind of sad, when people grow up around me, I would be remember this alone
Saw this over a decade ago with my brother when I 20, best time of my life binding and watching Animes with my family. This Anime was and always be 1 of top favorites.
I still hear the ending segment from 5:08 onwards playing in my head sometimes whenever I finish some other unrelated piece of media. It's just a perfect capper to everything
This song is such a tragedy. Even when you don’t think of Higurashi.. the anime this song is playing during the end credits. Listening to the lyrics, the feeling i get.. This song sounds like its talking about a victim of a misunderstanding that spiraled out of the victim's control.. but by the time the truth had come to light, the damage was done. And the only one who knew the truth was the victim who was that started everything. Anyone else get a similar feeling?
I can't put this to background music no matter what I do...I just got to sit and listen this song and then I can continue what ever I was doing.. I could not enjoy this more than I enjoy this right now..love this song.
I remember before each episode ends, I would be like. "WHAT" from the last-minute plot twist or a scene that just blew my mind and this song would play and I would be like, "Wooow. They just ended it with that" It was messed up, lol Also, I didn't know some of the things were based on real places!!
This song is so nostalgic! I remember marathoning the season all the way into the morning. Listening to the ending just brings back all of those awesome feelings I got watching the season for the first time.
most lyric videos aren't very well made but i think this one is! it's aesthetically pleasing to watch.. you used wonderful art and panned over it just right! :D
@EmStarSis2835 mhm .. if you didn't know ... that village exists, but its called Shirakawa in real life and not Hinamizawa. Every location from the anime is real^^
To get my happiness I had done everything, but had done nothing to be blamed and accused of. The sound of footsteps became louder every day, Then I noticed the fact there was not time. I was a believer in life to be myself always, and was asking whether I would be alive. Give me a reason why not to adopt in this way, or judge me to be guilty of so many incurable sins. Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much, maybe I overlooked something fatal for me. The whole world was at a complete standstill, and I was in fetters, at the mercy of the mob.

Shirakawa-go is the real-life village upon which Hinimizawa is based. But the actual picture looks more like a hyperrealistic painting rather than a photo.
I really love this series and I really just love the story it's hard to make something so complex but Kai made me like this song a whole lot more than I already did
I used to watch episodes of this in my anime group. I never could quite get into it. It reminded me too much of the Japanese movie Suicide Club, where there was gore and the plot just didn't make any sense. This song is great, it just sounds sad.
@naviproductions The actual name of the place is Shirakawa-gō. I've been there.. It was awesome, I even saw satoko's and rika's house! (it's not a joke, I seriously saw it) Gah, I miss hearing the Cicadas over there..
Too fucking old to listen this... and for watching another 2 seasons of Higurashi.. It's too sad and twisted. But this song.. yeah.. it's beutiful, even with its broken english the song sounds beutiful.

(Intro)
To get my happiness I had done everything,
But had done nothing to be blamed and accused of
The sound of footsteps became louder every day,
Then I noticed the fact there was no time
I was a believer in life to be myself always,
And was asking whether I would be alive
Give me a reason why not to adopt in this way,
Or judge me to be guilty of so many incurable sins
Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much,
Maybe I overlooked something fatal for me...
The whole world was at a complete standstill,
And I was in fetters at the mercy of the mob
The silent warning became louder every day
Then I kept pretending not to hear
Its meaning had been in the eyes of beholder all along
It had grown dark before I found a sign
"Among the nonsense tragedies, what on earth you are looking for?
You only have to be honest to yourself and your own fate."
Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much,
Maybe I overlooked something fatal for me
There is nobody who knows there will be nobody
Except for me, all the world has gone mad...
So what is forgiveness you are willing to withhold?
What is the well-being you are willing to make?
Now what? So what? Don't you come interrupt me, oh please
While I am interrupting myself
@@furkankaraslan9040 Then why don't you post the "right" ones?
its almost been a decade and still this song so good to hear
more than a decade, it was released in 2006
Yes
This brings back so many memories of the fansubbers not knowing what the lyrics were, lol.
I want to be river in life~
"I wan't to beat Riven in League"
You have no idea how true that is...
@@vDorgengoa Yeah, except it sounds like he knows exactly how true that is
@@Oni0o0 I only meant that I listened to this song for YEARS and did not know until I say a comment on TH-cam. A guy asked what's the song from Higurahi with the bad Engrish..... I was flabbergasted!!!!!!!

Makes me think about Kratos.

I really love how this song portrays this subtle feeling.
Engrish fits the song surprisingly well, reinforcing the feeling of this being a broken person's song.
My favorite part, When begins in 5:08
Don't be afraid of the day to come
Do not hurt your own heart
Do not apologize for past events
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Abolished Satan Chapter 4, Interference
Can you believe it?
"Can you believe in things you can see?
Can you believe in living?
Can you believe in me?
- Higurashi no Naku Koro ni,
Spirited Away by the Demon Chapter 2, The Secret.
Can you believe it?"
I believe what you said. But I can’t believe it
Wtf is abolished satan?
@@TheGeoXWar atonement maybe?
The final scene of the first season is so unnerving, just hearing Rika's voice, seeing the vacant Hinamezawa and hearing this song, it just all fit perfectly.
This song is depressing. Reminds me of the horrors rika went through countless times.
Rainbow~ I love your profile picture so much.
No it’s about Rena
and now once more...
@@Yecze it's actualy about all of them
Just RIKA?!
The soothing, beautiful sound of this song, just after a very gory, dark and horrifing ending of a chapter... It's just so cathartic.
About the same level as One Punch Man's season 1 ending song; a romantic like song after a spectacular battle, very contrasting with the super heroic opening song.
I remember being scared to watch all episodes, not knowing what would suprise me, but watched them all yea i love this horror, thrill, comedy Anime
See the manga, trust me it is much better than the anime
Better yet, experience the visual novels. Get them on Steam and don't forget to use 07th Mod.
rewatching higurashi and hearing this ending gives me so much nostalgia, this song is just so beautiful! i love it!
"Then I noticed the fact there was no time" Hits hard ngl
I remember when I was in 4th year high school, my sister and I sang this song in front of our class. Our teacher asked us if it was a religious song. I can`t tell her that it came from an anime with so much gore on it. LOL
It`s a very interesting horror anime and the op and ed song is really related to it so it`s a catch. Just finish it until the end, it`s really interesting. :)
+Neriza Morgan wtf
Neriza Morgan oh golly
+takahashi miyuki XD
+La Chino I'm on episode 7
I think this song explains Rika so much.
Redzeroo me too.
Me three. Kai made the first season much deeper and better when you pick up on whats going on.
I feel like it could describe all the characters at one point or another. I remember watching the shorter version at the end of each episode and thinking, "wait this is describing what just happened..."
I thought about Takano
Higurashi is honestly probably my favorite anime of all time. I'll probably always come back from time to time to rewatch it and this ending is a beautiful arrangement for a great horror anime with a deeper story

Me too lol
10 years and this is still one of my favorite anime and a big part is the music
What's crazy is this anime/manga is super popular in Japan :)
There were posters EVERYWHERE in Tokyo summer of 2013.
Haha, that's not *too* crazy, Higurashi has earned this kind of popularity! For what it is, it's a really good series.
Akaahaane Yes but this isn't exactly family friendly stuff ^^
EirikXL so its a masterpeice in itself
thank God, I never hear people talking about it in the west so it's reassuring to know it won't die out :)
+EirikXL 2013? Damn it really must be popular since it came out in 2006
Engrish in this song is just too cute.
I'm new to higurashi ....but I find the music enticing
Despite how popular it was, it is surely going to be buried with our memory, which is kind of sad, when people grow up around me, I would be remember this alone
Just watch with your significant others
this is legendary and I hope the people in the comments from 5+ years ago are living a happy life
This is so beautifully composed. Don't even care about the butchered Engrish lol. This song is amazing.
JB AnimePiano p
JB AnimePiano I agree
Pretty good ending song for a gory anime
Alca Animusic on Piano what do you mean by butchered English? Are you talking about the second season not getting dubbed? 🤔🤔🤔
@@highwaytohell8581 the pronounciation is all over the place in this song, I can barely tell It's English
More than 11 years and this song still hits like the first time.
This is that type of anime with an insane opening with such a soothing ending to bring perfect balance
This song makes me wanna cry I love it so much and of course the anime is a masterpiece
Hearing this beautifull song while watching Higurashi no naku koro ni GOU
This is my favourite ending. I love it
Scariest and most beautiful Engrish I have ever heard...
I still come back to this song. Something about it makes it sounds so sad and surreal.
Saw this over a decade ago with my brother when I 20, best time of my life binding and watching Animes with my family. This Anime was and always be 1 of top favorites.
This track is so meaningful for what goes on in the anime and I love it.
I used to hate this song because of the terrible english but now I love it... It's a gorgeous song and it takes me back...
jellosy Same lol, it's so nostalgic
you can understand anyways if you pay attention
It's not that bad. It actually sounds cute to me And I can still understand it
こんな素晴らしい歌がまさかひぐらしていう嬉しさ
Best anime ever.
Watch the manga, it is better thanthe anime, u will see some hidden chapters
@@Anthony-ej5ov read*
@@Anthony-ej5ov Manga is good but VN will always be the best.
The fact that I’m watching it now and I’m enjoying it. Shows that this anime really have a case
@@makisekurisu8594 If you end up really liking the show, try the vn. It's really good.
I love this song, idk but altough i don't understand it (i'm not a native speaker) it brings some calm and peace to a good thriller
Nightmare666EAT its english. the whole song
Francesca Garcia
when your first language isn't english it's a little hard to understand accents.
Amazing...... I can't even express my feelings after watching this video and the song is splendid..... No doubt..!!
I still hear the ending segment from 5:08 onwards playing in my head sometimes whenever I finish some other unrelated piece of media. It's just a perfect capper to everything
This song is such a tragedy.
Even when you don’t think of Higurashi.. the anime this song is playing during the end credits.
Listening to the lyrics, the feeling i get..

This music fits the anime perfectly :)
The opening and ending songs really help make an anime great. It’s what really sticks in my head after I’m done a series.
This song is so nostalgic!
I remember marathoning the season all the way into the morning. Listening to the ending just brings back all of those awesome feelings I got watching the season for the first time.
My favourite suspense and mystery anime. Thanks for uploading. :)

I got introduced to Higurashi by a friend, and it's now becoming my new favorite thing I fixated with
"Higurashi no naku koro ni Ending, Why or Why Not, Lyrics"
**No lyrics to be seen**
To get my happiness I had done everything,
but had done nothing to be blamed and accused of.
The sound of footsteps became louder every day,
Then I noticed the fact there was not time.
I was a believer in life to be myself always,
and was asking whether I would be alive.
Give me a reason why not to adopt in this way,
or judge me to be guilty of so many incurable sins.
Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much,
maybe I overlooked something fatal for me.
The whole world was at a complete standstill,
and I was in fetters, at the mercy of the mob.
The silent warning became louder every day,
Then I kept pretending not to hear.
The meaning had been in the eyes of the beholder all along.
It had grown dark before I found a sign.
"Among the nonsense tragedies, what on earth you are looking for?
You only have to be honest to yourself and your own fate."
Tell me why, or why not. Complaining way too much,
maybe I overlooked something fatal for me.
There is nobody who knows there will be nobody.
Except for me, all the world has gone mad.
So what is forgiveness you are willing to withhold?
What is the well-being you are willing to make?
Now what? So what? Don't you come interrupt me, oh please, while I am interrupting myself.
Aaa...
I’m still watching this anime in 2020 😁
Perfection! Its like a peaceful ending after a bloody bath and mindfuckery.
STILL A BANGER
Beautiful piano staccato and creshendo in the opening 👌🏼
sad music for a good anime
2019 Anyone?

@@Anthony-ej5ov and read the Anime

Beautiful
Awesome pictures. I really love this song. Thank u
I absolutely love this song, and the show.
Pretty, pretty~! Nice choice of pictures. Fits the tone of the song well. Great job! :)
2: 34 is the lyrics for the opening theme
I got chills down my spine everytime i listen to it
shirakawa, just a 1 hour bus ride from kanazawa and kanazawa is one train ride from osaka. went there last winter, deep snow everywhere.
That was wonderful, beautiful pics!

You really did an amazing job on this video...
Beautiful. Thanks for uploading this :)

by the way, I loved this song and higurashi～.
especially,rika is very cute♡and i like her personality︎︎( ᵒ̴̶̷̤⌔ᵒ̴̶̷̤ )✧*。
I had no idea this song was in engrish until I watched this vid, thank you!
Shirakawa-go is the real-life village upon which Hinimizawa is based. But the actual picture looks more like a hyperrealistic painting rather than a photo.
came back to this after so long
I dont care what anyone else says, the song is beautiful, it may not make a lot of sense in english, but that does not make it a bad song.
I love it.
Such a beautiful song is so relieving and calming after the horrors that occur within the show. LOVE IT. Honestly makes the show much better.
Love the pictures you used!
Ahh Memories although the show itself is so gruesome and violent as ever. But loved every second of it!
Biggest disrespect is I didn’t find it on Spotify 😭
I came to sing along with the lyrics. I don't see any 😠
Lol
Without love it cannot be seen
I swear to god 5:09 just sounds so empty without Rika speaking
So nostalgic
i swear i've heard this song somewhere else before.....
This song keeps popping up in my mind. I love the lyrics and I really connect with the song 💗😭
Going there (to Shirakawa-gou) this winter!!!
I really love this series and I really just love the story it's hard to make something so complex but Kai made me like this song a whole lot more than I already did
Higurashi Naku Koro No (2020) is now released!
beautiful 😊
makes me feel really good actually. really calm.
My favorite anime and your op and endings we are the best
I used to watch episodes of this in my anime group. I never could quite get into it. It reminded me too much of the Japanese movie Suicide Club, where there was gore and the plot just didn't make any sense. This song is great, it just sounds sad.
The ending for Higurashi gou just sounds like this but with modern twists.
It hit 400k views. Nice.
Where can I get that picture at 1:37? I want it. *_*
Yay, found it!
Did you take it home?

I wonder, I wonder.
Rena Ryuuguu Holy shit, didn't expect such a quick reply considering this was posted a year ago.
So did you?
willsolbit
Yes, it is on my Facebook profile.
Man, that anime was chilling all along. That song fits way too good the anime itself
@naviproductions
The actual name of the place is Shirakawa-gō. I've been there.. It was awesome, I even saw satoko's and rika's house! (it's not a joke, I seriously saw it) Gah, I miss hearing the Cicadas over there..
Should have remixed this for higurashi gouuu and used it as the ending... oh well.......
Ay man the new ending is great too
the ending of Higurashi Kai (it's one OVA of the classic series) it's also beautiful you guys must consider check that out too
Too fucking old to listen this... and for watching another 2 seasons of Higurashi.. It's too sad and twisted.
But this song.. yeah.. it's beutiful, even with its broken english the song sounds beutiful.
this is my favorite song
THE PICS ARE SO PRETTY:D
