@@alosity8948 Bruh i go to a higurashi vid expecting higurashi fans but i see SU fans just shipping two characters that aren't related to this series 🗿
@@desertrose3511 there’s an actual scientific reason but the anime doesn’t actually state it, but it does have something to do with the thyroid (gland?) most likely hence the scratching of the neck (where the thyroid is). i would 100% recommend watching higurashi no naku koro ni in order to find out why though, the show is absolutely amazing
Higurashi is indeed good. For those who are looking for plot twists, this is it. Just... watch the first arc, then everything starts to piece together... Saddened story of two girls, but one of them is wronged in sense of what is right and wrong...
Oh boy can’t wait to make friends They’re all cute girls The all have underlying issues They’re all slowly going mental It’s a race to see who snaps first Oh, look, it’s Colonel Sanders Oh, she has a hatchet Oh, a taser All of my friends are fun
Your right it's not Horror, because it's TERROR. Horror is fleeting like a scary face, a demon, or a ghost, but terror plays on a deeper psychological level it's a fear that haunts you, an untrusting nagging thing that stalks you, something relatable. Like a stalker that follows you home at night, the fear of a thief stealing everything you care about, or the loss of a loved one, those thoughts are terrorifying, no? Sometimes fear doesn't even need to be manifested into a thing, to be scary.
I think, most of the people, who ever watch Higurashi will never forget it. This is great tribute to all horror genre in general, this village, this characters, this music... It was great. Thank you for cover
@@JustAPrinnyDood totally agree with you. They are one of the main reasons why this anime gives so much suspense. P.s.: Rena Ryuugu is still my favorite female anime character
After you noticed that it suddenly started to grow up... A small shadow in the corner just keep slowly growing up and you can do nothing, can't even scream for help or simply stand up and turn on the light. It kept growing up until it became a human-like form. You already lost all hope to do something but you still don't want to do nothing, you want to close your eyes and go back to dreams, but adrenaline doesn't let you and every time you open eyes again it just getting closer and closer. It doesn't stop. You close your eyes using all your will to not to open them in hope shadow will disappear. Silent footsteps of mysterious something stopped. Where is it now? Maybe it's already gone? But deep in your heart and your mind you already know the answer...
Elfen lied was entertaining, definitely not as good as Higurashi, but not a lot of shows are. Yet, am I the only one that thinks the gore factor in Elfen Lied became stale after the first episode? I mean, it wasn't creative like Higurashi, just dismemberments and decapitations for 12 episodes long
@@LePLusCoolDesCools That might be true, but you gotta at least make sure it doesn't get boring, right? Just don't do the same thing over and over again, otherwise it's just there for no particular reason.
Oh man, higurashi was grest. I jabe the bluray collection right above my head rn. I think i will binge watch it tonight. I just tmgot dumped by my gf that i wanted to propose to on a couple of months. Maybe i feel beter by seeing those characters also fall apart
What I love about this theme is while it does have some elements that are meant to nod towards the horror of the show, 90% of it is just really sad. Underlining that though what the characters are going through is horrific, it is first and foremost a tragedy. It's not a story of revenge. It's not a story of anger. It's not the story of ghosts, or monsters, or demons. It's not the story of a raging killer gone mad. It's the story of trauma, of traumas that will never end unless the traumatized are willing to step forward and be open with their experiences with each other and learn to rely on other people that they trust for help. It's the story of being willing to accept help. Until they can, the cycle will never stop.
There’s an anime for it coming out at some point this year though I’m not sure if it’s just a ‘remaster’ with a more ‘updated’ look or if it’s also covering arcs that were skipped over in the original anime release
This is honestly the best cover of this song, and it captures the feel of Higurashi perfectly! Starts off slowly, and gives you a feeling of unease, before picking up in intensity, and then reaching the climax of horror, sorrow, and panic; and then slowing down into a more sorrowful, reminiscent version, as if to remember the ones lost in this series. This is Higurashi, and it's the best goddamn horror out there!
Everyone's talking about it but I haven't seen it yet, are the scenes really haunting because if not I'm not gonna watch it. I like putting myself through the torture don't know why
Higurashi is a beautiful anime, and you can't tell me otherwise We all watched it for the horror, but what I'd like to know is how many stayed for the story The anime is more confusing than grotesque or creepy, so when everything fell into piece and everything started making sense, it really sold itself to me.
The old big head, big eyes and generic characters anime still haunt me to this very day. Hollywood tried many times but they failed to replace Higurashi.
The grudge was the most horrifying horror film to come out in a while as far as cinema. However, you are right it fails to replace Higurashi in terms of absolute terror.
The way you masked Rena's presence in the top right of the screen, just in the peripheral vision, was perfect. Since most people would focus on the piano, it would take them a few seconds to realise she's there, and it would unnerve the hell out of them. It might be unintentional, but it fits the mood of the show perfectly.
@@Cy_an1d3 that's only true in gou, in the first 2 seasons she is just another of rika's friend, it's after season 2 ending as explained in "satokowashi" arc that she becomes a looper and has a grudge agaisnt rika, tho in the manga she does it out of dispair for not being able to live normally without rika because rika leaves, dies because of an unknown reason, satoshi's condition becomes worse, satoko has to kill herself to try again. and this ends up in satoko giving hell to rika so she cant escape hinamizawa
oh! this is the song i learned on piano without my family knowing and my family thinks i dont know a lick of piano but when i went to my parents house with my siblings i asked if i could give their piano a try and i played this and they freaked. *SO WORTH IT.*
Uh, just wanted to point out that there are more than 20 versions of "You" (known mostly as "Dear you" here in the west), and the version used on Higurashi Kaku was just one of those, not even the original one. It was "You Spiegel" if I recall correctly.

@@michit7125 nah. I was selling at a convention and I didn't sell a lot of my higurashi merch, which surprised me considering the new anime. It was definitely more talked about and mainstream when the first anime came out. Now it feels like a niche series.
I remember that back in 2014 people would talk about This anime quite a bit still But i think the anime culture from back then is vastly different than it is now
This was the first scary anime i ever watched. And I was in tears, terrified out of my mind. Then I realised it was only episode 4. how does it continue? so glad i kept watching.
I started watching this. Cue power out, everything becomes completely dark and quiet. Power comes back after A while. I continue watching. Cue power out again. Why it gotta be like this?
OOF, I feel you man. I somehow survived watching it all at night under my sheets, of course I had trouble getting up to go to the bathroom afterwards😂💁🏼♂️
I saw it when I was 7, I was a child to whom reality and fantasy could be considered inseperable, I had grabbed and held to my chest my father's smith and Wesson 7 inch blade, praying such a thing could not exist in this life. It freaked out the parents, i slept outside wide awake because the rain had been going for hours I watched the worms crawl up out of the door and sobbed like a man going to his execution . Parents see it and realized that out of sight out of mind parenting is actually super harmful, and took a child's sense of worth away. They learned their lesson, traumatised kids need hugs
@@touchingisjustthefirststep It's not just the characters shocking ways to die. The anime is about psychological destruction. How relationships between people can twist into hideous ways, the feeling of dispair and an unstoppable terrible fate lurking to you.
@@touchingisjustthefirststep it was less fnaf style scary and more "wow I actually have to think about every single thing that just went down" scary -some video I watched
Never expected to randomly find an excellently played "Ai" on recommended. I was not able to find any proper piano arrangement of this piece for years, love ya
What's more is that it uses the gore for a psychological purpose not a gross out purpose. Hellsing Ultimate and Elfen Lied tend to go overboard with the gore for gore's sake. Higurashi.....and by extension Umineko, both utilize gore for a psychological reason. In fact I dare say that they both kick Boogiepop Phantom into next Tuesday in terms of horror and psychological thriller.
Look up the great songs in psychological horror. They tend to not be threatening and intense but filled with peaceful despair and vulnerability. The calmness accents the horror because horror does not mean fear, it means intense negative emotions. This song in particular is about how easy and cruelly comforting it is to just let go and become another that has been spirited away by ogres
Spoiler for Higurashi I still feel bad for Rika. Her living for 200 years of straight murder, violence and despair is truly the worst type of torture imaginable
Higurashi will always have a pedestal in the horror genre. I recently re watched the series and honestly it had a lot of psychological horror as well as general horror. Some episodes were dull but the more you got into it the more on the edge of your seat you were. Some of the last episodes made my hands sweat. Nothing ever really hit like Higurashi.
Hi, I'm 15 years old and I used to play piano with a teacher in middle school (middle school here is from 10-11yo to 13-14) 1h a week. (It was an option with my middle school). Recently I find out I really wanna re-start playing piano, in middle school I was pretty bad also because I used to play really little time. Do you have any tips or video? Should I just play something in my old study book and get comfortable with the piano again? P.s. Love your vids and piano animation
I'm no pianist or musicians, but I think it would really help as long as you can enjoy it :) Just play and play, and make sure you are enjoying the playing while you're at it!
my tip would be try to learn your favorite songs by ear. it’ll help you in the long run. you could search for chords of the song, synthesia videos, or see if Amosdoll made a tutorial on how to play it! i recommend checking out nahre sol, she teaches some music theory on her instagram and i think on youtube too!! and also, just keep practicing and don’t give up!
I'm osu mania player, but i think that proccess is the same: play what you like, then play again, play smth harder, and again... But it'll take more time)
This cover is absolutely amazing. I stumbled across this video sometime last year and had no clue what Higurashi was. I was curious and watched the show and I regret nothing. It's a phenomenal show and its top 5 for me. I also became interested in piano so now I'm learning how to play. All I gotta say is thank you fellow weeb for inspiring me :)
The anime is too good to not watch it! You just have to. It's pretty old but still a masterpiece and one of the only anime that I really re-watched for more than 4 times. It has a really dark vibe that is getting pushed by music like this.
@@nadeen6675 higurashi no nako koro ni It is confusing at the beginning, but as you uncover more and more of the story the plot becomes clear and you can see the relations between the characters.
@@komoz4616 Eh, the masterpiece label tends to be overused, and calling something mid tier is even more subjective. That said, there's a reason this anime is a classic and one of the most acclaimed horror anime. If you're a big anime fan, there are 2 iconic things from Higurashi that you've probably been exposed to. One is the iconic shot of Rena behind the door with her face half-obscured. The other is the song Dear You. This is mid-2000s Studio DEEN, so expect the animation to be rough, and fans of the original VN complained that important things were left out of the adaptation. However, it excels at building up the horror atmosphere and the mysteries (really only the first season). The way new bits of information provide context and change your understanding of earlier scenes work very well. Be prepared to for what you think you know about the plot and characters to get shaken up.
I know nobody asked, but I just really wanted to say this This video got in my recommended feed in around mid 2020 I have never heard about Higurashi before, I just clicked the video out of boredom randomly and I really liked the vibe of this melody, it's mysteriousness, so I became a little bit intrigued about what is the context for this melody was. I scrolled through a comment section a bit, and after reading some inside jokes I didn't get at the time about nails, I decided to give this show a try. I watched the entirety of the Anime in like two days and I liked it so much, I then read original VN and recently finished reading Umineko. And this whole journey was started by this video and TH-cam algorithm gods. I can't express how greatful I am to this video for sharing this beautiful story with me, Higurashi is easily my favorite story til this very day, I am still super-obsessed with it and most likely it will stay that way. Thanks so much for this video. For anyone of you who are still contemplating whether you should or should not invest time in this story, you absolutely should. You will not regret it. Also, read original VN with voice acting instead of watching anime. Anime has a very different vibe and most of the suspense and horror is gone. Also go as blind as possible into the story. Then you should give Umineko a try too. ♥
Between this song and the lilium cover from elfen lied, you have most definitely captured the essence of the two anime and transcribed it into your covers. If there were medals for this kinda thing, theyd have to make a higher tier medal just for you!
I can still hear the humming in my head while the piano plays... one of the most unsettling themes out there in horror. It sounds inviting at first then it just becomes sinister as it plays on loop. “Welcome to Hinamizawa” they said 😈
This song is beguiling. It tries to lull you into lowering your guard with its beauty and false sense of calm and security. And that's exactly what true horror tries to do to you. Higurashi is a masterpiece, especially the first season.
I havent watched the anime yet but DAMMN this piece is so LIT! I am looking forward to watch it even more now! (I watched shiki thanks to its osts and wow that show was great! I hope this one will be too)
This piano piece is so beautiful, and as a Higurashi fan, I labelled each part based on their mood they gave. 0:00 Broken memories 1:02 Disturbances 1:54 Struggle/Terror (probably the time of murder) 2:52 Settle (reminiscence, may have feelings of regret) **SPOILERS for those who didn't watched OG yet** This is Rena's life. No wonder she's right there at the upper left corner, representing the song. Well, also the other Higurashi characters who suffered.
Just my own interpretation. It's not just Rena's life but also the lives of the other main characters especially Rika and Hanyuu are interpreted there in the song.
PianoDeuss you are a legend, it sounds so good that it will be perfect for a haunted house or a Halloween party and ill give your music cover of 'Ai Main Theme' a 10/10.
It was so beautiful but dark beauty. the whole place was white snow and you were alone listening to this music. The weather was very cold but very calm
Fun Fact: Higurashi's theme was sampled by UK producer 808melo for a beat and was later used by the late Pop Smoke for his break out song "Welcome to the Party"
Hauntingly beautiful. Wish I could play the piano like that. Sometimes I picture playing stuff like this when the music teacher let us play the piano back in the day.

Your right it's not Horror, because it's TERROR.
Horror is fleeting like a scary face, a demon, or a ghost, but terror plays on a deeper psychological level
it's a fear that haunts you, an untrusting nagging thing that stalks you, something relatable. Like a stalker that follows you home at night, the fear of a thief stealing everything you care about, or the loss of a loved one, those thoughts are terrorifying, no?
Sometimes fear doesn't even need to be manifested into a thing, to be scary.

@@michit7125 nah. I was selling at a convention and I didn't sell a lot of my higurashi merch, which surprised me considering the new anime. It was definitely more talked about and mainstream when the first anime came out. Now it feels like a niche series.
I remember that back in 2014 people would talk about This anime quite a bit still
But i think the anime culture from back then is vastly different than it is now
Gou/Sotsu did not help lmaoo
It's kinda scary when you vibe into this music and then you suddenly realise that two cold eyes are starring right at you.
I was splendid thanks for reminding me of an anime that changed my life
really? how?
Emmanuel A. He killed everyone
What is it about?
@@unculturedweeb6095 Some slice of life anime UwU it's about cute girls and a MC. Who will he date ? watch to know it UwU.
lol read the novel.
Without love, this song cannot be heard.
oops, wrong story
xD
Well they are closely connected >:)
What reference is that?
@@mariel7079 It's a reference to "without love, it cannot be seen."
Which is a quote from Umineko.
Got that reference, unfortunately it didn't help me solve Umineko :'v
"im a man“
”im grownass man!"
"I can do this"

"nope"
Who else turned weak and felt it when her nail got ripped off?
Wait that's where that cursed video I saw once was from, shiiiit this must be creepy if it's all like that
Sorry... W H A T
@@beanthebean3563 Just watch the show, that's not even the most messed up part, not by a long shot :P
Or when Rika repeatedly stabbed herself in the head? I felt that one too
The satako cross scene sent chills down my spine
I recognize Higurashi just with the thumbnail, this anime is so good
This show made me feel literal fear in the scene of "Rena is here?" or Mion opening the door by surprise to leave a last warning
I don't like horror anime, but this is a magnificent piano arrangement!!
*edit: Btw, you can visit my channel, I do anime music cover! Cheers!
How come you dislike horror anime D:
@@yusuke6308 personally i dislike horror anime because its not scary, it's usually just funny with its attempts to be scary
Watch corpse party its E P I C
@@yusuke6308 Because its not really scary, I rather watch real Horror movies
DudesCover Does Ellen Lied count as a horror?
This was the first scary anime i ever watched. And I was in tears, terrified out of my mind. Then I realised it was only episode 4. how does it continue? so glad i kept watching.
i made the mistake of watching this at night under my blankets by myself....i swear i am still scared
same, i dont even know how i managed to binge 10 eps of this anime til 2 am
I started watching this. Cue power out, everything becomes completely dark and quiet.
Power comes back after A while. I continue watching. Cue power out again. Why it gotta be like this?
OOF, I feel you man. I somehow survived watching it all at night under my sheets, of course I had trouble getting up to go to the bathroom afterwards😂💁🏼♂️
After watching the original show and forgetting this song, it activated my fight or flight instantly.
This was the only anime that made me cry
Of fear
same.
I saw it when I was 7, I was a child to whom reality and fantasy could be considered inseperable, I had grabbed and held to my chest my father's smith and Wesson 7 inch blade, praying such a thing could not exist in this life. It freaked out the parents, i slept outside wide awake because the rain had been going for hours I watched the worms crawl up out of the door and sobbed like a man going to his execution . Parents see it and realized that out of sight out of mind parenting is actually super harmful, and took a child's sense of worth away. They learned their lesson, traumatised kids need hugs
@@ThaNoobTuber shit. why would you even watch it at such a young age?
@@イレ-t8x wtfff

So beautiful, such a haunting theme. Higurashi’s music is so memorable. Hope this theme returns in the upcoming reboot
my neck is itching....
*I hope there no maggots crawling under your skin*
I hope you didn't get injected by a blonde hair girl named Satoko

Remember to trim your nails kids
Why does my neck feel itchy?
Maybe it was the drugs?
Why do you feel the need to do that? xD
I haven't responsabilyties right now nut why not :)
PTSD intensifies
1:53 i dont know anything related to the higurashi series, but this part just gives me goosebumps.
I have a new anime to watch now
This is a beautifully-haunting rendition of the original. Awesome job!
Higurashi is only "scary" anime that is actually somehow scary
The first and second arcs especially were absolutely chilling.
Thomas King “LIAR” that part made me jump so hard I grew 2ft
It honestly wasn't scary to me just a huge shock factor of characters dying violently.
@@touchingisjustthefirststep It's not just the characters shocking ways to die. The anime is about psychological destruction. How relationships between people can twist into hideous ways, the feeling of dispair and an unstoppable terrible fate lurking to you.
@@touchingisjustthefirststep it was less fnaf style scary and more "wow I actually have to think about every single thing that just went down" scary
-some video I watched
Never expected to randomly find an excellently played "Ai" on recommended. I was not able to find any proper piano arrangement of this piece for years, love ya
I like how this song goes from calm to crazy in a question of seconds, just like Rena.
Higurashi Sotsu, can't wait.
And that's why Rena's always the "face" of Higurashi.
*I remember watching higurashi young,and being traumatized,so now I’m basically used to gore :p*
The anime rlly nailed it out in the park :D
What's more is that it uses the gore for a psychological purpose not a gross out purpose. Hellsing Ultimate and Elfen Lied tend to go overboard with the gore for gore's sake. Higurashi.....and by extension Umineko, both utilize gore for a psychological reason. In fact I dare say that they both kick Boogiepop Phantom into next Tuesday in terms of horror and psychological thriller.
haha, 'nailed'
I can't believe this is a horror song, it's so relaxing
It's not exactly fear what the song tries to transmit, but despair.
You've got a wierd comprehension of music
You should search up the original
its beautiful ..
Look up the great songs in psychological horror. They tend to not be threatening and intense but filled with peaceful despair and vulnerability. The calmness accents the horror because horror does not mean fear, it means intense negative emotions. This song in particular is about how easy and cruelly comforting it is to just let go and become another that has been spirited away by ogres
Higurashi is my favorite horror story. Period.
I fear no man.
But that thing.
*kiras theme*
It scares me.
funny ahahahaha
Light Yagami actually just had the higurashi parasite
@Janet 9646 *both*
*BOOM*
if you mean Kira Yoshikage's theme.. well, I'm not saying you're _wrong,_ but it's definitely not up to this standard
I got freaked out when I realized that there are eyes on the side
😂😂
👁👄👁
Spoiler for Higurashi
I still feel bad for Rika. Her living for 200 years of straight murder, violence and despair is truly the worst type of torture imaginable
Rika is directly tied to events in Umineko so it's no surprise that she's cursed. A witch hath done it.
@@sillyputtyisfun7567 Wait. Wasn't Rika herself the witch Bernkastel who then split in 2?
What about Satoko?abused by uncle ,aunt,bad parents, childhood traumas losing her must important person,his brother
Who? The cute blue haired character? WTF?
@@justinjandelacruz5998 yeah have u seen season 2??
Definitely in my top 5 anime’s I’ve watched.
ye higurashi is in my top favorite anime as well and i watched like 300++ anime.
Hearing this makes me remember the torture happened in each episodes. Still makes me shivering.😥
Most iconic 'MURDER MYSTERY' ever.
not really..?
Its more like if slasher films and groundhog day had a child
@@taenimin really is bc most anime horror and western horror are stupid this stands out ur obviously a hater
@@9a_23_tyrantqiu7 Worse. It's those two combined with a little slice of Eldritch Witchcraft.
Higurashi will always have a pedestal in the horror genre. I recently re watched the series and honestly it had a lot of psychological horror as well as general horror. Some episodes were dull but the more you got into it the more on the edge of your seat you were.
Some of the last episodes made my hands sweat.
Nothing ever really hit like Higurashi.
Higurashi had dull episodes? Perhaps you aren't paying enough atention
fr its sick
Hi, I'm 15 years old and I used to play piano with a teacher in middle school (middle school here is from 10-11yo to 13-14) 1h a week. (It was an option with my middle school). Recently I find out I really wanna re-start playing piano, in middle school I was pretty bad also because I used to play really little time. Do you have any tips or video? Should I just play something in my old study book and get comfortable with the piano again?
P.s. Love your vids and piano animation
Just play, play, play....
I'm no pianist or musicians, but I think it would really help as long as you can enjoy it :)
Just play and play, and make sure you are enjoying the playing while you're at it!
dont waste time on exams, play the songs you want. (anime song/animenz)
my tip would be try to learn your favorite songs by ear. it’ll help you in the long run. you could search for chords of the song, synthesia videos, or see if Amosdoll made a tutorial on how to play it! i recommend checking out nahre sol, she teaches some music theory on her instagram and i think on youtube too!!
and also, just keep practicing and don’t give up!
I'm osu mania player, but i think that proccess is the same: play what you like, then play again, play smth harder, and again...
But it'll take more time)
This cover is absolutely amazing. I stumbled across this video sometime last year and had no clue what Higurashi was. I was curious and watched the show and I regret nothing. It's a phenomenal show and its top 5 for me. I also became interested in piano so now I'm learning how to play. All I gotta say is thank you fellow weeb for inspiring me :)
Higurashi! Ahh those were the days. Still remember watching it being fun slice of life at first and then becoming life being sliced next.
alright well... i haven't watched the anime but who cares i'm still here for the music
The anime is too good to not watch it! You just have to. It's pretty old but still a masterpiece and one of the only anime that I really re-watched for more than 4 times. It has a really dark vibe that is getting pushed by music like this.
@@morgurathemightyone8266 So what's its name ?
@@nadeen6675 higurashi no nako koro ni
It is confusing at the beginning, but as you uncover more and more of the story the plot becomes clear and you can see the relations between the characters.
@@morgurathemightyone8266 I hope you arnt just calling some mid tier a masterpiece, I cant take people's word anymore but I'll consider it.
@@komoz4616 Eh, the masterpiece label tends to be overused, and calling something mid tier is even more subjective. That said, there's a reason this anime is a classic and one of the most acclaimed horror anime. If you're a big anime fan, there are 2 iconic things from Higurashi that you've probably been exposed to. One is the iconic shot of Rena behind the door with her face half-obscured. The other is the song Dear You.
This is mid-2000s Studio DEEN, so expect the animation to be rough, and fans of the original VN complained that important things were left out of the adaptation. However, it excels at building up the horror atmosphere and the mysteries (really only the first season). The way new bits of information provide context and change your understanding of earlier scenes work very well. Be prepared to for what you think you know about the plot and characters to get shaken up.
I know nobody asked, but I just really wanted to say this
This video got in my recommended feed in around mid 2020
I have never heard about Higurashi before, I just clicked the video out of boredom randomly and I really liked the vibe of this melody, it's mysteriousness, so I became a little bit intrigued about what is the context for this melody was. I scrolled through a comment section a bit, and after reading some inside jokes I didn't get at the time about nails, I decided to give this show a try. I watched the entirety of the Anime in like two days and I liked it so much, I then read original VN and recently finished reading Umineko. And this whole journey was started by this video and TH-cam algorithm gods. I can't express how greatful I am to this video for sharing this beautiful story with me, Higurashi is easily my favorite story til this very day, I am still super-obsessed with it and most likely it will stay that way. Thanks so much for this video.
For anyone of you who are still contemplating whether you should or should not invest time in this story, you absolutely should. You will not regret it. Also, read original VN with voice acting instead of watching anime. Anime has a very different vibe and most of the suspense and horror is gone. Also go as blind as possible into the story. Then you should give Umineko a try too. ♥
Higurashi was a rollercoaster so will avoid the vn andU finished umineko vn?
the original anime is great and keeps the vibe, the pacing of the vn on the other hand is too slow
I never thought I would see an image of a dead little girl as a thumbnail in my recommends
Poor satako......
Okay da fuck are you talking about
Now i don't want to watch the anime

I'll say this in red:
*Higurashi is one of the scariest mind-boggling anime ever.*
boy you've seen every anime i've seen it's getting kind of creepy but in the same time i'm loving all theses midis files for my favorite songs !
Oh I remember when I was watching the second season of this and this soundtrack started, it was always the darkest and most tense moments.
you really nailed this theme 🙏
*When you think moving away from the village will fix everything:*
Japanese horror: wh..w..why! Why are you do..doing this to m..me ??😭
Indian horror: Hey Ghost! Can I touch you? 😶
A 1 hour 30 min Indian horror is like 1 hour 30 min of Jump scares on repeat LOL
Indian horror: I will run away screaming, but first me and my 30 elephants will dance.
In the olden times Indian horrors were pretty good
But now they are straight up dogshit
Bro I loved this song so much whenever it played in the original show. So glad to see it finally being brought back to life
That shit legitimately gave me nightmares. I should give it another watch.
Between this song and the lilium cover from elfen lied, you have most definitely captured the essence of the two anime and transcribed it into your covers. If there were medals for this kinda thing, theyd have to make a higher tier medal just for you!
one word
“fingernails”
👁💧👄💧👁
*checks fingernails nervously*
I still have mine
We don't have those
16 metal nails for each joint in the right hand...
I can still hear the humming in my head while the piano plays... one of the most unsettling themes out there in horror. It sounds inviting at first then it just becomes sinister as it plays on loop.
“Welcome to Hinamizawa” they said 😈
Careful the government doesn't use you for secret experimentation. :P
Такое трогательное исполнение, у меня как будто иголки в горле застряли

This song is beguiling. It tries to lull you into lowering your guard with its beauty and false sense of calm and security. And that's exactly what true horror tries to do to you. Higurashi is a masterpiece, especially the first season.
This is so epic I spilled all my soy sauce and I need to get more.
If you get the reference you are cultured
No don't go ;((((( you'll end up in the well
Hope you don't get more from the sonozaki's
don't lie. You're imagining yourself playing this and impressing a crowd
damn it
*freaking them out
Well actually it’s my goal to play this. Still a rookie when it comes to piano tho..
son of a . . . how did you know!?
there is no impressing anyone as you are choking back tears of horror while playing this song.
I havent watched the anime yet but DAMMN this piece is so LIT!
I am looking forward to watch it even more now! (I watched shiki thanks to its osts and wow that show was great! I hope this one will be too)
Can i ask how this man doesn't have over 1 mill yet? This dude is awesome. I'm subbing
This piano piece is so beautiful, and as a Higurashi fan, I labelled each part based on their mood they gave.
0:00 Broken memories
1:02 Disturbances
1:54 Struggle/Terror
(probably the time of murder)
2:52 Settle
(reminiscence, may have feelings of regret)
**SPOILERS for those who didn't watched OG yet**
This is Rena's life. No wonder she's right there at the upper left corner, representing the song.
Well, also the other Higurashi characters who suffered.
That's not Rena 💀
Just my own interpretation. It's not just Rena's life but also the lives of the other main characters especially Rika and Hanyuu are interpreted there in the song.
I’ve never seen the show but this sounds strangely familiar
PianoDeuss
you are a legend, it sounds so good that it will be perfect for a haunted house or a Halloween party and ill give your music cover of 'Ai Main Theme' a 10/10.
You *Nailed* it.
aight imma head out-
I feel bad for keiichi as he's only mistake is that he moved to hinamizawa at wrong time. He dont have any connection to hinamizawa but still suffers
There was that incident that made him move to hinamizawa... 🌚
Now, to sum up one of the most horrific anime scenes ever produced:
“Youre annoying”
*dies*
Ngl, just had an existential panic attack out of nowhere and this is legitimately calming me down.
It was so beautiful but dark beauty.
the whole place was white snow and you were alone listening to this music. The weather was very cold but very calm
Here we go again
I really wish i could play this on piano its so dark beautiful and mysterious i need to learn it now! it sounds so amazing :D
I played this horror song in front of my class and after my class was speechless. I love your vids!
I cannot stress how well made this song is
Fun Fact: Higurashi's theme was sampled by UK producer 808melo for a beat and was later used by the late Pop Smoke for his break out song "Welcome to the Party"
"I will take care of you forever" can be hear as a love quote or some scary villain quote
It is so sad that he hasn’t got more attention then he already has. I’m like he deserves more
Support him on patron he has probably the most updates out of the youtube piano players I have seen.
Hauntingly beautiful. Wish I could play the piano like that.
Sometimes I picture playing stuff like this when the music teacher let us play the piano back in the day.
Aw man this anime is so good,I likes every part or it. The characters,the story,the plots.Everything is just perfect.
