This song is actually two separate audio tracks: The introductory piece before the vocals is called "Mata no Hi ~Prologo~" and the second is, naturally, "Umineko no Naku Koro ni". Both tracks are on the single of the theme song that was released, and are sung by Shikata Akiko.
They might as well be conjoined, because uploads of just "umineko no naku koro ni" contain a bit of prologo for a split second, mistook as a thunder drum sound or a taiko, but its actually part of prologo
if you dont wanna hit replay every time it ends, you can right click on the video (on the desktop version), and select "loop"! this loops the song repeatedly!
1:31 Probably the hardest beat drop I've ever heard. I've had this song on my mp3 player for 14 years. I believe I got it from a mediafire link however. It's beautiful. Also the violin at 3:20 🤌
0:10 i got goosebumps..... 0:30 i got cowbumps... 1:40 village music? 1:50 cool girl voice :D 3:15 i almost jizzed my pants..... 5:50 *ran to washroom*
@NipahKawaiiRika This is the VN, original version of the opening. A second season of the anime will never be released, but Umineko is a story that doesn't really work animated either way.
well Bern was born during Higurashi not before it and she claims that herself, its also mentioned by Lambda that that game gave her new witch and she was happy about it or something like that. and yeah Rika's/Berns story doesnt start at Onikakushi-hen, they were trapped in that endless repetition for about 1000 years so its possible that Bern got bored and wrote some poems meanwhile lol
no, listen carefully and compare. this one is similar to the italian version called "Rengoku", a song used for summarising the motion graphics ep 1-4. some people uploaded it, so go check it out. "One Winged Bird" was used for the anime.
Well, looks like 10 people won't be on their way to the Golden Land then... :P Also, these two songs are amazing :D. @sunbeami They aren't the same story, but they are linked tentatively. The common consensus, and Word Of God confirms this, is that the Higurashi series can be considered a game played between Frederica Bernkastel and Lambdadelta, and the Umineko series is a seperate thing that happens later. The anime includes a few shoutouts, like Maria watching the Higurashi anime on TV.
5 or 6 episodes for the first arc, The Legend of the Golden Witch. They're almost done with the first game in the series (Episode 1 of the visual novel). When the Legend of the Golden Witch is over, it's going to have another "repeated" arc like Higurashi did, based on the second game, Turn of the Golden Witch. There's going to be four story arcs in the first season.
in umineko no naku koro ni, there is a character just like rika who is a witch. she is introduced after the first arc. i noticed that they have the same voice actor, hair style, eye color, and style of dress.
Yes actually Lambdadelta resembles Takano when she was young. Lambdadelta resembles Takano and Bernkastel obviously resembles Rika. Higurashi is actually a game played between Bernkastel and Lambdadelta. At the end of Kai when Rika beats Takano and defeats fate Bernkastel was considered the winner in her game against Lambdadelta.
@xXBlackxXxRoseXx Bernkastel is the embodyment of all off the dead rika's that didn't make it past june 30th, it is said just before the wedding starts, the memory of what happened (repeating that same month tohusands of times) is what made bernkastel so cruel and cold, it is also why she desperatly seeks for a way to end her boredom, but no Bernkastel was a piece in Higurashi not a witch.
@xXBlackxXxRoseXx Actually that game keeps me confused. In one of the tea parties, forgot which. There is a hint that Lambdadelta is Satoko. But I agree with you, it would make much more sense if she's Takano. But of course, maybe she's both, in the same way as Beatrice can control all characters on the gameboard.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni is the third VN in the Umineko series. Preceded by Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, and followed by Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru. :)
@edl01reviews I believe there was something about two Bernkastels, and the piece in Higurashi was Frederica Bernkastel, which is the one who you are talking about.
@sunbeami No, it's just coincidence that the VNs were made by the same people and share the same name. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai = When They Cry and When They Cry 2. Umineko no Naku Koro ni and Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru = When They Cry 3 and When They Cry 4. (You can see this if you look at the title screen for the VNs, like what's shown on the video.) The relationships between the 2 sets aren't strong though.
@193Raiden If you go by the setup of the stories, and the anime in general, it points away from Lambdadelta being Miyo, and their number similarities are just coincidental.
for some reason Nier pops into my head every time i hear this song. i wonder if this artist had some hand in that game's soundtrack. the game would have probably been better if they used this song
@tristan687 Actually there is an anime, but this is the visual novels opening. You can see the anime version in related videos. It's pretty interesting at the least. The main character has to beat a witch in a sick duel, by proving, that her locked room type murders can be achieved without magic, only by human means.
@oOMaWOo no problem. I THINK they call it a sea cat because they consider the sounds a seagull makes similar to that of a cat. I think Japan is my favorite culture even before mine lol. I do love my Italian culture but my family is compeltely American-ized and the only time I get any culture is when I go to Buca de Bepo xP
I don't know what the Japanese call it, but the tune is the same as "Lightly Row." The episode your're thinking of is probably episode 5, but you hear her sing it again in the fourth arc.
@NipahKawaiiRika I'm pretty sure this song is somewhere in the Umineko visual novels. I don't know where, but there definitely isn't, and probably never going to be, a second season of Umineko no Naku Koro ni :(
@crispymongoose Try considering by appearance and relationships, too. Satoko = Lambdadelta Rika = Bernkastel Lambda and Bern are friends and so are Satoko and Rika.
In a way, yes. Frederica should be familiar to you. It's the "sequel" to Higurashi, but since Umineko isn't done, even in Japan, nobody is sure yet just what sort of connection it has to Higurashi beyond a few characters.
Lol the "music in this video" that youtube displays for this vid says it was written by dimebagDarrell, vinnie paul, and Phil anselmo. I dont think that's right.....
You don't know what it means to see this comment. The last time I came here was a month ago, so in that time I wasn't the only one to appreciate it. You know what I mean? It's like noticing a commenter you've seen before (That isn't Justin Y.) Especially if you call their attention to it, it's almost a look into your past, to see your old comments.
I want this soooooo bad now!!!! Where did you get it ColonelCrunchBerry!? I MUST find it! Such amazing harmonies! Not to mention the voice talent, what its about, the fact that there is a cuior backround, or that is from a game about bas ass witches who keep owning an annoying bickering family!! ITS AMAZING
@TwiliAezure Yeah, I noticed that too. Although according to Word of God, Bern and Lambda are a lot more than 'just friends' ;). And yes, I do mean canonically...
@suiryuukishi i noticed and it kinda annoys me XD the break when it changes ti the umineko opening is to noticeable i think.. but it's still fantastic ^^ love the VN opening
It's called: 復闊の日 ～Prologo～
"The Day of Revival ~Prologue~" It's the first track on the album "Umineko no Naku Koro ni"
Thanks

Halfway through 2022. Still a banger!
BEATORIIIIIICHEEEEE!!! Never did I imagine that would ever sound so badass. Holy shit.
I had chills running through me the whole 6 minutes. That's quite a musical accomplishment in my book.
Is it me, or do I keep pressing the replay button over and over again? I'm sorry but this song is so good.
if you dont wanna hit replay every time it ends, you can right click on the video (on the desktop version), and select "loop"! this loops the song repeatedly!

Whoa! I didn't realise which song it was at first because of that creepily awesome chanting at the beginning!
That first part is actually the first track in the album that contained the full OP.
Whoa, this is the first time I've heard the full version and holy crap I did not expect that chanting at the beginning.
i LOVE this song! it sounds almost like something from the Renaissance! thx 4 uploading!
1:31 Probably the hardest beat drop I've ever heard. I've had this song on my mp3 player for 14 years. I believe I got it from a mediafire link however. It's beautiful.
Also the violin at 3:20 🤌
Welcome to Rokkenjima.

1:50 cool girl voice :D
3:15 i almost jizzed my pants.....

It's a wonderful song, it mix Latin songs and japanese traditionnal style
Damn... this was so EPIC! O_O Beautiful composition!
I love both the anime and the music.
Can't get enough of this.

This is nothing short of epic x3 And I know that epic is a word overused on the internet nowadays, but this song truly deserves to be called that.
best op in the VN
best vn in an op
no, listen carefully and compare.

Came here from a Jojo ASB combo vid. Now feeling bad that I've missed VN's like these
OHHHHHHHHHHHH BEATORICHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

@xkatie656 That's Shikata Akiko for you. She's really good at this kind of thing.
it gives me the goosebumps
I was actually thinking more like Higurashi was the "game" that Beatrice talks about Lamdadelta losing to Bernkastle.
no, Katayoku no Tori is an opening for anime, this is opening for visual novel and its called "Umineko no Naku Koro Ni"...
@xXBlackxXxRoseXx Actually that game keeps me confused. In one of the tea parties, forgot which. There is a hint that Lambdadelta is Satoko. But I agree with you, it would make much more sense if she's Takano. But of course, maybe she's both, in the same way as Beatrice can control all characters on the gameboard.
This song is called Umineko no Naku Koro ni and the opning song of the anime is Katayoku no Tori (One-winged Bird)
Umineko no Naku Koro ni is the third VN in the Umineko series. Preceded by Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai, and followed by Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru. :)
Awesome music...

The relationships between the 2 sets aren't strong though.
@nevrest Instead of questioning it, see if you can enjoy it. It's a small look into a intense story of murder, money, and magic.
@193Raiden If you go by the setup of the stories, and the anime in general, it points away from Lambdadelta being Miyo, and their number similarities are just coincidental.
for some reason Nier pops into my head every time i hear this song. i wonder if this artist had some hand in that game's soundtrack. the game would have probably been better if they used this song
As far as I know no, there was no overlap between Umineko and NieR’s soundtrack, but the beginning does bring to mind Deep Crimson Foe.
@Devilmon484 The prologue is what makes it more epic though! It builds up tension, ya' know?
Akiko shikata is AWESOME !!!!
It's not out yet, the cd release of the full song is August 18th, so I'd check on the 20th to see if someone has posted it yet
@tristan687 Actually there is an anime, but this is the visual novels opening. You can see the anime version in related videos.
It's pretty interesting at the least. The main character has to beat a witch in a sick duel, by proving, that her locked room type murders can be achieved without magic, only by human means.
when i listen to this,
its like i am going to the battle field with a rage!
Hey archrave, just commenting to show you a comment from 5 years ago. Always interesting to get that little look into your past.
@@soupgirl1864 what if he still thinks the same
@lashrymose Uhm, no. The song was made specifically for the opening of the VISUAL NOVELS. You are the confused one here.
@oOMaWOo no problem. I THINK they call it a sea cat because they consider the sounds a seagull makes similar to that of a cat. I think Japan is my favorite culture even before mine lol. I do love my Italian culture but my family is compeltely American-ized and the only time I get any culture is when I go to Buca de Bepo xP
they are related however, neither has any direct effect on the other, both simply exist in the same universe
yes ^ ^ if you seen Higurashi you will find something great from it in Umineko, but i dont know if it will be present in anime or only hinted
This is so beautiful it gives me shivers!
I don't know what the Japanese call it, but the tune is the same as "Lightly Row." The episode your're thinking of is probably episode 5, but you hear her sing it again in the fourth arc.
@NipahKawaiiRika I'm pretty sure this song is somewhere in the Umineko visual novels. I don't know where, but there definitely isn't, and probably never going to be, a second season of Umineko no Naku Koro ni :(
@crispymongoose Try considering by appearance and relationships, too.
Satoko = Lambdadelta
Rika = Bernkastel
Lambda and Bern are friends and so are Satoko and Rika.
this song, whether its a mix or not is great
In a way, yes. Frederica should be familiar to you.
It's the "sequel" to Higurashi, but since Umineko isn't done, even in Japan, nobody is sure yet just what sort of connection it has to Higurashi beyond a few characters.

all due respect... but cool guys don't look at explosions
@GenericUsername320
Yup, exactly. We wanted more, so they just hacked some together as if to say "be careful what you wish for".
Umineko is teh luv
@SoundlyAwakeTonight Yup, and when he wants to say an important thing he points with his finger too :D
@ColonelCrunchBerry Excellent sense you have there.
@Ishu Well, not story-wise that I've seen so far. i don't read the manga, so what's aired in Japan is as far as i am right now.
@SoundlyAwakeTonight
I thought so too!! I think it must be the finger pointing..
@FranziCintra Akiko Shikata - umineko no naku koro ni (that is the songs name)
Masterpiece song. *-*
i love this show/game/maga so much!!!!!! i loves Maria!!
@oOMaWOo it means seagull. the two words seperatly would mean sea-cat. Umi no neko would also mean sea-cat. :3
i love the beginning
@EMOshoter Okay. Anyway, thanks for your previous suggestion.
song is awesum !
very rare amongst anime songs.
@CX222666 I believe the artist is Akiko Shikata. Sorry if I am wrong!
you can use the youtube to mp3 converter and its legal, you just need the like of the vid for the audio (not only songs) just search it with google
i so love this....!
@suiryuukishi That's right. But I liked the way the first song carried over to the other and I wanted to make a complete version.
i like this so much more than the anime op! i lov it so much it brings a tear to my eye :') *****
I want this soooooo bad now!!!! Where did you get it ColonelCrunchBerry!? I MUST find it! Such amazing harmonies! Not to mention the voice talent, what its about, the fact that there is a cuior backround, or that is from a game about bas ass witches who keep owning an annoying bickering family!! ITS AMAZING
@kyatorin thank you for responding.
her name is Akiko Shikata
The phone was never disconnected.
@TwiliAezure Yeah, I noticed that too. Although according to Word of God, Bern and Lambda are a lot more than 'just friends' ;). And yes, I do mean canonically...
now this op deserves to be called the opening of umineko one of the creepiest scariest and goriest animes ever
thank you
i think that mean she was first, and then Bern was.... erm...."born"
@SimpleAndClean19 ficooo xD di dove sei?? Finalmente trovo un commento italiano xD
@taylorinuzuka Wait, they have Buca de Bepo in Italy?
That is somehow amazing to me.
I'm totally agree ^^
I love this song.... :3
This series is so deserving of funkopops. 🙂
🤓
I love this song.
:D
No you're right. It's the visual novel opening.
The anime isn't going to use this OP. This is just for the visual novel.
fair enough
I think this song was called "One Winged Seagull" or "One Winged Bird" One of them is the ending and the beginning.
I think.
I'm confused! I've never heard a second opening for Umineko before...is there another season of Umineko or something? Can someone please tell me?
It’s the opening of the visual novel “umineko no naku koro ni” a videogame It’s called “prologue “
@suiryuukishi i noticed and it kinda annoys me XD the break when it changes ti the umineko opening is to noticeable i think.. but it's still fantastic ^^ love the VN opening
