There is some hidden Japanese Shinto mythology in the music video. Such as the last in the white dress is Izanami goddess of death this silent Forest that Izanagi had to cross to see her in the underworld yomi...

One of the most interesting (and probably frightening) things about this song is that if you play the chanting in the beginning (which seems nonsensical, and it is indeed) *backwards* you'll hear "nige rarenai", which translates into "You can't escape". Probably referring to the curse of Oyashiro-sama / Hinamizawa syndrome, that if you try to move out from the village, you'll end up being insane or even dead.
@@rmeena6972 Not Specificaly "Anime", but my kindergarten-teacher, for example, was under the impression that Animated Films in general are kiddy-stuff. Tho, that was back in 1988, but Watership Down left quite some kids pretty damaged.
Higurahsi was the first anime to scare the hell out of me it's my third favorite anime and Naraku No Hana is my favorite anime song! Love Higurashi everything about it Rika is my second favorite anime character!
My first anime I watched years back it was either Pokemon, Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon years ago... I've seen a lot since I started watching anime and Higurashi was the 3rd favorite still spawning my favorite character but the only anime that beat it are Dragon Ball/Z/Gt and Neon Genises Evangelion/Rebuild
I thought only Ali Project did horror themes but damn I never knew until I heard this just now. Chilling. Been listening to this all the time after the first episode dropped.
This song is composed by both Kazuya Takase and Tomoyuki Nakazawa. Check out these other songs made by the same composers: Real Onigokko - KOTOKO Red Fraction - MELL KILL - MELL Wheel of Fortune - Eiko Shimamiya
@@isaac1990lam I checked the songs you mentioned. Not the kind I was hoping for. Though they were good. Mell's was kinda underwhelming since I liked her song Rideback which is way different than the ones here.
@@isaac1990lam Thank you so much!!! i've always been looking an edm J-pop song with this kind of similar gothic and mysterious sound in it, so you're really helping me with your recommendation here 😭
One of the best openings EVER made!! The anime also was really good, in the end it shows you how trust can change everything.. it spreads a powerful message over the world
The Darkness of this song.... Theres no such thing that can combete with it. It's so mysterious and beautiful. This is the song I want to listen no matter where I am.
The twin little girls in this MV always reminded me of both Shion and Mion and the little boy reminded me of Satoshi. As for Eiko-sama herself she always gave me Featherine/Hanyuu vibes for some reason.
I am very interested in the motifs that appear in both the opening and the music video, like the girl underwater (Mion and Shion in the opening) and the forest clearing with the woman (the start with Rika)
This has to be one of the most cerebral music videos I've ever seen. This theme and the PV messes with your head just like the anime. Thx for the upload.
This song and video sums up all the beauty, danger and mystery of the Higurashi saga so well! They could not have chosen a better song to open the original anime!!
Higurashi is what sparked a fuse in my mind. This is one of the first series that introduced me to horror and psychology. I still remember being a young teen when I first found out about this series after thinking anime is just romance and comedies, I was so wrong LOL. I'm starting my second year of college this fall with having psychology as my minor and I think this played a big part in introducing me to that interest
10 episodes is a long time to get hooked on a particular series, especially if a series is aired 1 episode at a time per week. If you are not intrigued by episode 3, then odds are it's not your cup of tea. Episode 1 seemed to drag on forever...then I went and looked up the series (read a bunch of spoilers) and how the story was constructed with its arcs. That intrigued me and spurned me on to keep watching.
Finaly!!! I found out what she sais at the begining!! It's "adnianeraregiN" (Nigerarenainda backwords) What would be "yawa nur t'naC" ( Can't run away)
Absolutely love this song, the darkness of it, it's an absolute masterpiece, and EXTREMELY underrated. The original 2006 Higurashi When They Cry was SO much better as well in ALL aspects, before it slowly got unfortunately ruined over time, very sad how the new studio couldn't stay more true to the original and pay the respect it clearly deserves, but this song, and Eiko's vocals are haunting and fantastic all at the same time.
Me encanta esta cancion ^_^ higurashi no naku koro ni YEAH! es una de las mejores canciones de anime!! (I love this song ^_^ higurashi no naku koro ni YEAH!! one the best openings songs of anime!!)

woow i've putted this song in my favorites about half a year ago and i still watch it almost everyday it's so good!! though it must have cost a looooot.
Ben Parker i listened to it in 2013 and the weird thing about me is because im 12 and i watched the anime i didnt get scared and in my school kids swear because its Been like that since 2004
When this dropped at the end of the first episode of the new 2020 Higurashi Anime. FREAKIN' CHILLS~
It was the best part of that first episode :)
@@mikefortkamp8423 agreed
Same bro
It signified that the "new" anime is actually a continuation of the original. That was awesome

One of the best openings EVER made!! The anime also was really good, in the end it shows you how trust can change everything.. it spreads a powerful message over the world
And just like that, October in 2020 arrives, and so does the new Higurashi.
Having this play at the end of the first episode was a treat.

i love the anime and i love this song

That thing where the video might actually low-key reference Shion and Mion's relationship with Satoshi and the doom that ensues tho!

The best opening ever.

From 0:54 to 01:11 it's the most beautiful theme I have listened to in anime, I can listen it endlessly.
I still love this song after all these years
Higurashi was my first anime... I watched it when I was 9...
9 are u sure ur ok
I feel you lmao I watched this when it came out and I was about 6 or 7
Vis when this song came out i was born
@@sebziez lmao
This song is now 14 years old, turning 15 next 2021, and was used at the end of a episode of Higurashi Gou... Now that's what you call a good song!
I can't believe it's 15 years later. Damn! One of the best mystery/horror anime ever! Glad to still be around 😊 2006 was epic .
Un video clasico, para una melancolica melodia. Muy artistico y profesional. Ademas me encanta la letra

This is probably my second comment on this video, but once again, Eiko has an amazing voice. One of the best OPs I've ever heard.
That ending part of the song gave me nightmares and creep me the fuck out.
Feel ya bro, though beside nightmares its make me think alot, myself and this life, nothing serious though just the feel
Such a beautiful song. And I love the sort of abstract creepiness that the video has.
beautiful song. atmospheric
I love the transitions and the effects this video had. So far, it's one of the best music videos I've ever seen.
Eiko's eyes are piercing(:
i love this song and the anime(:
I love how the warmth of the green is sharply contrasted with the glittering mask against the black background. Very pretty PV :)
The little girl is SO cute!!
Love this song.Sets such a mood...
2020 y escuchando esto en la cuarentena xd
Big mood

dengan lagu saja sudah terasa sekali horornya.
aku suka ini.
I love the way this sounds, it is unique and I like that. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.
My favorite Eiko songs are probably Gudou no Hito and Scheherazade, but her Higurashi songs are undeniably fantastic. I miss I've Sound golden days.
Classic joint
Even the original song has a creepy vibe!! And I love it!
I really liked this vid. I'm so glad you uploaded it!
No fucking way. Dyrus is bringing me to some strange places I've forgotten
I read the lyrics, they fit the show and the song perfectly. its so creepy that it's beautiful!
2:14 and at last min damn that's so creepy
Absolutely beautiful.
It's dark yet mystical.
i remember i never watched the anime bc i was scared but i love the opening and closing songs lol
update: still scared and has never watched. songs still slap tho
Same, same 🤣
Eiko is amazing. Shame she doesn't release any more songs like this, it was the best song on her album 'O'.>>
good for Eiko Shimamiya in beating cancer
absolutely AMAZING!~
