“Move to a new town” they said “it’ll be fun” they said

If you remember higurashi then you deserve a veteran's account

Higurashi gave me fear of two things: 1. Sound of cicada 2. When neck itches

*Boku No Pico Opening song* Most horrific anime opening song

When they cry is not horrifying, It's mental...

When you realize the shadow in your room is not a hoodie

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...

Higurashi is so underrated We need a proper adaptation of Umineko

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

Higurashi is getting a remake 🎆🎇✨🎈🎉🎊

When Japan does Horror, they're often really good at it.

In Higurashi, we have: 1. Countryside Vibe 2. Cute Character 3. Comedy 4. A Romance Story 5. Itchy Neck

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

“Please, no more, i’m dying!” “haha nail go click crack plop”

On seeing this in my recommendations: "Clickbait title!" 3 notes in: "Oh, wait, this is Higurashi's main theme. He's right about this one."

_reads video title_ Higurashi? _clicks video_ Higurashi.

Glad to know that not everyone has forgotten about this show.

“Nailed” it Sorry I’ll leave now

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.

Everyone talking about the nail scene when all I can think about is the maggots

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.

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!

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.*

I’m SO happy they’re remaking higurashi! It’s been 14 years 😭

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.

It's kinda scary when you vibe into this music and then you suddenly realise that two cold eyes are starring right at you.

Who else turned weak and felt it when her nail got ripped off?

Man, I actually feel as if Higurashi is underrated these days.

Damn when I first started watching higurashi this theme made me feel scared, but now I only feel sad when I hear this. Higurashi really is more of a tragedy then a horror

"His love is not forbidden like the one Satoshi kun and I had ... Don't be jealous .. Do not feel envy .. You don't want them to be punished just because it happened to you. " Sonozaki Shion- UnU

I was splendid thanks for reminding me of an anime that changed my life

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

This was the only anime that made me cry Of fear

I recognize Higurashi just with the thumbnail, this anime is so good

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.

Without love, this song cannot be heard. oops, wrong story

Remember to trim your nails kids

After watching the original show and forgetting this song, it activated my fight or flight instantly.

Higurashi is only "scary" anime that is actually somehow scary

So beautiful, such a haunting theme. Higurashi’s music is so memorable. Hope this theme returns in the upcoming reboot

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 RU-vid 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. ♥

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

"im a man“ ”im grownass man!" "I can do this" *hears intro "nope"

my neck is itching....

I can't believe this is a horror song, it's so relaxing

I got freaked out when I realized that there are eyes on the side

don't lie. You're imagining yourself playing this and impressing a crowd

Can you play “Dear You”, the ending of Higurashi: Outbreak?

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.

I fear no man. But that thing. *kiras theme* It scares me.

alright well... i haven't watched the anime but who cares i'm still here for the music

Higurashi is my favorite horror story. Period.

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.

I'll say this in red: *Higurashi is one of the scariest mind-boggling anime ever.*

*When you think moving away from the village will fix everything:*

Definitely in my top 5 anime’s I’ve watched.

*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

This is so epic I spilled all my soy sauce and I need to get more. If you get the reference you are cultured

I never thought I would see an image of a dead little girl as a thumbnail in my recommends Poor satako......

Higurashi! Ahh those were the days. Still remember watching it being fun slice of life at first and then becoming life being sliced next.

Most iconic 'MURDER MYSTERY' ever.

Hearing this makes me remember the torture happened in each episodes. Still makes me shivering.😥

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!

This is a beautifully-haunting rendition of the original. Awesome job!

Sooner or later, your popularity will sky rocket

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

I'm going to get my baseball bat because I'm afraid someone is watching me..

The nostalgia hit me real hard, honestly the best cover I've ever heard

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.

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

one word “fingernails”

you really nailed this theme 🙏

Ngl, just had an existential panic attack out of nowhere and this is legitimately calming me down.

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

Why is this soothing

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 :)

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 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.

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.

It is so sad that he hasn’t got more attention then he already has. I’m like he deserves more

Такое трогательное исполнение, у меня как будто иголки в горле застряли

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 !

That shit legitimately gave me nightmares. I should give it another watch.

You *Nailed* it. aight imma head out-

I played this horror song in front of my class and after my class was speechless. I love your vids!

This is really dark.... But you made it sound so good

Japanese horror: wh..w..why! Why are you do..doing this to m..me ??😭 Indian horror: Hey Ghost! Can I touch you? 😶

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

I cannot stress how well made this song is

Higurashi is peak horror anime! One of my favourite anime in general.

Now, to sum up one of the most horrific anime scenes ever produced: “Youre annoying” *dies*

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

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!

Im going to cry this is beautiful

This actually became one of my favorite animes after I watched it bc of this vid

I think about this show every time I itch my neck

Can i ask how this man doesn't have over 1 mill yet? This dude is awesome. I'm subbing
