ENGLISH Higurashi When They Cry Opening 1 | Dima Lancaster

[@violadrev84]

"You just cannot escape~" ""No matter how you try, your voice fades when they cry~" "About how everyone dies, about how this ends when they cry~" Beautiful lyrics!!! And the cover was absolutely amazing ahhhh... Amazing job, just outstanding!!!!

[@dariuswrongside5811]

The anime is coming back this year so I had to come back to the best Cover song.

[@DimaLancaster]

YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW EXCITED I AM FOR THAT! (and I'm also going to be remaking this cover, but let's keep it a secret for now😏)

[@JayWalkerOnline]

Now it's time to figure out what he meant when he said, "Take these fingers run away. Take these fingers, long decayed." Because it's either an odd way to say "take my hand," or he's legit saying "TAKE THESE FINGERS I CHOPPED FROM THE HAND OF A CHILD MANY YEARS AGO. RUN AWAY."

[@JayWalkerOnline]

Because he's not saying "take _my_ fingers," he says "take _these_ fingers".

[@catsukisubaru3715]

It's dangerous to go alone, take these chopped baby fingers with you.

[@elisabethheiman2104]

Jay Walker Well, he says "Take _my_ fingers, run away," at first, but then says "take _these_ fingers, long decayed." So I don't know, but I think he means take my hand. Regardless, I gave your comment a like because it made me laugh.

[@IchCharacter]

Seems more like a reference to the dam construction manager who's hand was still missing 5 years later. The whole song seems to be from the point of view of one of the victims and it would kind of fit. Don't know the precise lyrics, but this one definitely feels like that.

[@daikirijekuto9161]

I think the fingers thing was talking about the hammering fingers from one of the chapters.

[@animegirl1847]

0:28 THE PICTURE SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME O.O

[@amandaccm8004]

I was like, "Wait, what picture?" *suddenly picture shows up* *,jumps out of bed* *, flies out of window* NOPE. LEAVE SHION. PLEASE. (or Mion. I still get confused. xD)

[@theeverdreamwitch]

It's Shion, disguised as Mion. Mion actually never killed anyone.

[@thelazywanderer_jt]

Raey Axan Mion is BEST GIRL!

[@misterdent9413]

Darius Watako - Hinamizawa Newcomer Then again, she kind of ruined Shion's life by tricking her into swapping places before getting the tattoo... And that was BEFORE Hinamizawa Syndrome kicked in on anyone. Sheesh. Anyway, I nominate Takano as Best Girl.

[@feralfio5041]

Wait, wait, I thought they both consented to the swapping?

[@AniGaAG]

Okay... listened to quite a few other covers by you. But - I can't help but think this is your masterpiece. Like I said in the other comment... the original carries a really intense feeling of "Why is there nothing behind my back...!?" with it, that feeling the entire Higurashi story carries so strongly. And... really, I am still impressed as hell by how perfectly you captured that feeling, and the lyricism is amazing as well; knowing the Anime, I constantly get reminded of certain things by certain lines, and that is eerily awesome. Hell, you even got the backwards "nigerarenai" _(that "hanni hanni hare hi")_ right, indicating further that you know the Anime in question and are able to write proper lyrics for its opening. ... seriously, this IS your masterpiece ^^ And now I'm done WoTing. :)

[@michelebeck9398]

I really love this cover. Normally I'm not really into covers done with male vocals, but I think this is perfect. The beginning though, I can't get over the maniacal laugher. I love it so much omg xD

[@JayWalkerOnline]

Really? I think it sounds absolutely awesome.

[@adamyasmeen]

This is just so amazing!!!! I'm actually crying and feeling so nostalgic right now, the video, singing, mixing, everything!!! You are a amazing, instant like and sub!!!!

[@adamyasmeen]

You should definitely do the second opening!!! Please do! Also could I use these lyrics for my own cover? I will credit you if course^_^

[@AkaneSasuSora]

Crap, that looks terrifying. Great cover though.

[@TheDelinquentGamers]

This is one of my favorite anime. You sir have earned my subscription.

[@emilianohernandez6160]

A new higurashi is coming out and this earned my utmost respect

[@TheDelinquentGamers]

@@emilianohernandez6160 Dude I am so hyped for it. Still to this day this is one of my favorites haha.

[@YoungObedMusic]

Just came back from your new version of this cover and I really like what you did in both. It's cool to see how you've progressed over the years!

[@nyanomusic]

This deserves as many views as click, if not more. The intro already blew me away, subbed!

[@thelazywanderer_jt]

***** Don't say that Higurashi is still pretty popular among the internet

[@the_sci3ntist]

I always found this opening so really hard to make a cover of, but you absolutely owned it! :) The tune, rhythm, and all in all the whole song itself is really amazing, not to mention the lyrics, which are pretty cool as well! :) Nice job!

[@thelazywanderer_jt]

Great job man! I actually listen to this more than the actual OP! I hope I listen to your Kai remix soon!

[@amandaccm8004]

I loved this anime, and the opening songs, couldn't stop listening to them. xD... I like your English cover, sounds really good c:

[@SilentFilipino10]

Amazing. I don't really look for English covers all that much, but thank God that your "Click" video was on my recommended. Immediate subscription after that. Good show, dude.

[@Archerftw]

Extremely well done. Personally this is one of my favorite anime and you captured the eeriness and overall tone of the show very well in this. Definitely earned my subscription! I really wish you'd do either the second higurashi op, or the op to inu x boku ss. I feel like your voice would really do that song justice. Again, great job!!!

[@Archerftw]

Looking forward to hearing it!

[@Endyvidoru]

Another great track! Amazing job, Dima.

[@Endyvidoru]

***** It's just as good, so I don't see why it wouldn't. Good luck!

[@AniGaAG]

... wow. I came here not expecting much, but this is good. The lyrics are very well chosen and fit the feeling Higurashi gives you - this creeping feeling of doom just behind your back, but when you turn around then nothing's there... it fits that well. Love it! Great work!

[@josephcordova8553]

OK I'm subbing that was amazing

[@CreweontheSofa]

That was fantastic dude! I really liked the "You just cannot escape" bit. not quite sure why, but it just really worked for this! :)

[@RolyTroly64]

Dude I must admit. THAT WAS THE BEST ENGLISH LYRICS MY EARS HAVE EVER HEARD OF!!! U R THE BEST SINGER I LOVE IT

[@TobyDeezal]

Oh man. this is great. You captured the inflections in the chorus so well, and they are what made me love this song in the first place

[@koneeche]

Wow, you have potential :) If anyone's ever wondering in the future, I was here when you only had 24,440 subs! :D

[@dominicparrella4502]

The best English cover of this opener I've ever heard. Nice job. (I especially like the guitar track)

[@TranAran]

Badass cover, man! Completely blew me away!

i love this song, i have download, a few of your songs on my phone, they are awesome, i love the little girl's laughter at the start. keeping doing what you're doing.

[@BadGladeCrazy]

I sure will, can't wait ^_^

[@jeremypearson7629]

This one's my favourite of yours, I love it ! :D

[@karategalone]

i clicked on you cuz i heard you in that duet you did with amalee. and then i went through your profile and saw higurashi op2 and was like wonder if he did the first one and then i clicked on it. I wasnt expecting much cuz i listen to the vocaloid covers and they very rarely get this genre right. and when i had first clicked on it i was like OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! INSTA-FAVORITE INSTA-SUBSCRIBE! OMG YOUR AMAZING! YOUR VOICE IS AMAZING!

[@suii4896]

[@Reirei0]

0:00 to 0:41 scared the fuck out of me the first night I watched this. That piano gave me freaking chills, and it still does.

[@Cindercrown]

I heard about three of your covers; they were all great. And then I heard this. Oh my... this only one would have been enough for the Abo I just made on you.

[@remainedanonymous8251]

I'm not sure which ones more creepier. The english or the Japanese version

[@RinKagamine-sh3xj]

The beginning got me! I'm still a bit youngish (teen) but I wasn't expecting that! I was expecting the op writhing the normal animation which may be considered creepy to some people. Well it is the middle of the night so I am a bit more sensitive to that kind of stuff right now... And really nice job on the singing, and scaring the crap outa me ;)

[@endlesswitch1047]

Oh god I love this so much!!!

Holy crap. . . I've seen some pretty messed up stuff and heard freaky songs. . . But not even the original version of _Higurashi: When They Cry's_ opening freaked me out like this.

great cover.

[@Mostimpressiveindeed]

I am not the biggest fan of the vocals, they are certainly not a deal breaker. I would have preferred a female singer but w.e. However I will say that I am absolutely in love with the way the lyrics transitioned over and their interpretation. It's nothing short of excellent.

[@TheZoruaKid]

Dude, this cover is SWEET. Subcribed without a doubt. Is there an intrumental to this that you have handy? The music alone is awesome enough, but your vocals complete it perfectly.

[@TheZoruaKid]

***** Thats alright, the songs great as is. :P Did you make the instrumental?

[@TheZoruaKid]

***** Thats still amazing, have you ever thought about making music or remixes? I think you'd a great job if you did :0

[@catsukisubaru3715]

Aahh, the higurashi op. Or as i like to call, the "HOLY SHIT RUN AWAY" song.

[@wilhelmdietz4023]

This is a really awesome cover, with great lyrics that really capture the insanity that is this great anime. I usually don't really like those english covers of anime openings/endings, because when most people translate they fuck up the amount of syllables in a sentence XP I get it, it's quite hard to get the right amount, but most of the time the lines just don't sound really well XP Anywho, well done!
