it would have been better if there was a third song called "for being born". then being called back in umineko for a song with that same name "thank you for being born"
When i am listening to Higurashi songs i feel like i am dying inside. This story is just beautiful and i hope i will play it again one day (USELESS INFORMATION) : Not now though, i am only 13 years old, i think i need to grow up a little bit before playing that again. I think that i will find it more deep in 15 or 16 years old. (also i am sorry if my english is terrible)
@@rookierookieboy When they cry series definitely gets better as you age. There's a huge focus on personal growth and recognising and overcoming one's flaws, or them destroying you. As you get older, those themes only resonate with you more and more. over 10 years ago I came to higurashi to see silly over-the-top violence and torture scenes. Now I stay for the powerfully human themes, satisfying storylines and the undercurrent of deep wisdom throughout it all.
Usually "face in the moon/sky" scenes occur in anime/games when characters die and are being fondly remembered, but Satoru in Higurashi is not actually dead (though everyone thinks he is for most of the game).
His name is actually Satoshi but this moon scene appeared when Shion fall from a building and apoligizing for Satoshi. Btw Shion really loved him, but he has gone missing away. She doesn't even know if he is alive or dead
You are correct (and I forgot his name because it's been a while since I've played Higurashi)! I haven't watched the anime so I didn't know the context of this scene (I remember her hallucinating Satoshi during Meakashi but there were no visuals for it in the VN). Either way I was just joking (though apparently my joke was misguided given the context of this scene).
How do people get through this without crying? Oh my dear lord --four bars in and I'm already toast. Definitely the *one* song that makes me cry every damn time. Such a profound, heart breaking and beautiful piece. Definitely my favorite musical soundtrack.
blubeagle55 Honestly this song doesn't even feel sad to me, regardless of whether the emotion is there or not. The only thing I get from this is a feeling of hope, peacefulness, and even happiness. Fitting for the series as a whole really. Despite all the despair, and all the horrible things that happen through the series those aren't what I think of when I think of Higurashi; but rather the hope, the happy times and the fight to take them back and keep them.
Rika Furude Well, hope and happiness can make one cry too... Especially in this song. It feels almost warm and comforting... like "you didn't make it this time, but next time everything will work out". I agree with your perception of the series completely. If someone only focuses on the darkness and sadness, then they're missing the point of the series entirely.
This song also felt like it was filled with hopelessness and loss. But it is still somehow beautiful and peaceful like maybe someone accepting their death?
3 years late but that's actually a perfect description for it, since the final scene in Meakashi before this song plays on the credits depicts exactly such a scene: After stabbing Keiichi, Shion slips on the emergency stairs while trying to get back to her room and lands on the roof of another room beneath hers and smashes her head, but survives. The enormous pain somehow clears the Hinamizawa Syndrome from her head and she feels incredibly at peace, taking the time to let it dawn upon her what exactly she has done and how badly she's messed up. She starts to cry and mentally apologize to Satoko, Mion and everyone else while also realizing what she needs to do to prevent such a scenario from ever happening again, gratefully thanks Satoshi for letting her know love even though she "was a demon" and then decides to roll off the roof to her death so she can join Mion on the other side. As she dies, Shion wishes she was never born and contemplates her loses, but also feels happy that she lived and peacefully accepts her death. Exactly what you said, basically
i feel like after seeing the strong bloody scenes of the anime, the directors decided to make a lighter, but still so heartwarming version of them in the form of lecture :)
Remind me, where did we first hear this? Was it at the end of Meakashi? Wherever it was, it filled me with hope - for the first time in many chapters. Wonderful stuff.
@@WarioLand3 That is "thank you", not "you" "you" plays on the end credits of meakashi, near the end of minagoroshi and when Irie says satoshi is still alive during matsuribayashi.
I recently finished reading Meakashi-hen on Steam. I loved it. Is this track inluded in the chapter? Because in the end there was the track "Confession" being played. I was anticipating "You" somehow because of the Meakashi-hen BGM playlist.
@@Medatrox Thank you :) i'm actually planning to reread both Higurashi and Umineko with 07th Mod sometime. I had the voice patch for Umineko Chiru before.
Most of them are character songs, and unless you're talking about fan covers I'd have to say they're bad because you're uncultured and can't appreciate them.
Just realize the first version of this ost is called "thank" and this one is called "you"
Thank you
You're welcome

dude's face up in the moon even though he isn't even dead
Is that a wrong thing

On one hand mark your spoilers please, on the other hand the phrasing of this comment made me cackle out loud
日本人だけでなく外国の方までもこのひぐらしのなく頃にの魅力が分かるとは…感激です！Thank you！
문학적으로 수준 높은 작품이니. 확실히 서양인들도 많이 멋짐을 아는 게 신기한 일이긴 하지.
The story and characters are the best
We love it, from France 🇨🇵

+MysteriousYou2br I think at this point in the VN, I still wasn't sure if this story was destined for a happy ending. Hearing this made me hopeful.
정말 이 곡은 무한반복으로 듣게되는 곡
들을 때마다 치유되는 기분이다
메아카시 시온 생각나서 가슴이 뭉클해지고 아릿해진다...

Hearing this at the end of Minagoroshi when everyone was waiting to go to the afterlife with Rika, not gonna lie it got me to cry

+SwitcherooU End of Meakashi-hen~! During the credits. ^_^
It also played during the opening of Meakashi, where it showed the title card.

The original, huh? I really love this song.
Me too
고독과 절망이 마음을 죄어와.
마음이 부서져 내릴것 같지만
추억 속에 남겨진 당신의 웃는 얼굴이
나를 언제나 격려해 주어요.
시온이 사토시를 생각하는 마음이 담긴
메아카시 그 자체인 You
게임 중간중간마다 들려오는
이 노래가 너무 좋음...
공포가 끝나고 마침내 행복을 찾은
히나미자와를 떠오르게 함
lyrics:
あなたは今どこで何をしていますか？
この空の続く場所にいますか？
今まで私の心を埋めていたモノ
失って初めて気付いた
こんなにも私を支えてくれていたこと
こんなにも笑顔をくれていたこと
失ってしまった代償はとてつもなく大きすぎて
取り戻そうと必死に手を伸ばしてもがくけれど
まるで風のようにすり抜けて届きそうで届かない
孤独と絶望に胸を締めつけられ
心が壊れそうになるけれど
思い出に残るあなたの笑顔が
私をいつも励ましてくれる
もう一度あの頃に戻ろう
今度はきっと大丈夫
いつもそばで笑っていよう
あなたのすぐ傍で…
あなたは今どこで何をしていますか？
この空の続く場所にいますか？
いつものように笑顔でいてくれますか？
今はただそれを願い続ける…
My favourite Piano song ever... *soothing*
This is beautiful
we meet again
Mmph...
Eh?
*splat*
... lol jesus how depressing. So friggin good...
Ahhhh the feels ;_;
*crys*

I recently finished reading Meakashi-hen on Steam. I loved it. Is this track inluded in the chapter? Because in the end there was the track "Confession" being played. I was anticipating "You" somehow because of the Meakashi-hen BGM playlist.
If you have 07th Mod installed, you can select in the patch for the original OST for all the 8 arcs.
