LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@Platonche]

probably one of my favorite song, especially in the scenes of Rena's story. When she's hiding in the car and realize she's "contaminated"; then when she attacks the school. You can really feel the character's madness when you hear it.

[@railgun6]

“It was like a dance. A dedication dance by the final head of the Furude family”

[@TinkerGrape]

When Shion describes Rika “she is dancing” while Rika stab herself with that soundtrack is just amazing

[@drz655]

Yeah ryokushi 7 is just a God author

[@ciontachthecthonicchampion3576]

Is it? I was never able to tell because I was too busy trying not to faint. No really lol. Bad with blood That scene is well regarded I guess?

[@seemantable3985]

One of the best scenes im Chapter 5 easily. I love that the Visual Novel always frames gore in ways that are more than just "Oh hell nah, violent thing happened". There's something a bit more to it

[@seemantable3985]

​​@@ciontachthecthonicchampion3576 Well, I assume you are talking about the anime version, cause there is no visible gore in the VN version. This is where the song comes from and the scene is presented different there. That version of the scene is what OP is talking about.

[@ciontachthecthonicchampion3576]

@@seemantable3985 gore does not have to be visible I’ I have little to no issue with the anime version it’s the vn version that caused me to faint. Reading is way worse most of the time.

[@Larserr]

this theme specially is just too powerful, it embodies the syndrome at its 100%

[@Asehpe]

I simply love this piece of music. In the VN, in the scene in which Shion and Rika fight, it was such an amazing background...

[@swaikstan2604]

the noise element of this track really fits in certain moments, as well as another part of track

[@Fanghthedark]

God, that entire series has so much to offer.

[@yeetoxic1754]

Sounds like the end of the world

[@brincedelu8559]

Agree. Astounding

[@Ulta_Nagenki]

More than ever.

[@TheHammertimeable]

Best way to describe it

[@valini6652]

Pretty much. It makes me want to cry.

[@vassilip5062]

MORE. THAN. EVER.

Just three fingers.

[@froufroudeluxe]

Say you’re sorry to Oba-chan

[@theproblemmustbeinyourpant5910]

right before I first heard this ost my headphones were breaking and made a really loud static noise. I rebooted the game and though the start of the ost was my sound glitching again. lol

Shukusai's second name: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - Soundscape

[@brincedelu8559]

Best Higurashi track hands down

[@조민규-r5d]

Yea its just amazing😌

[@how_to_be_a_Old_legionary44]

yeah its good!

[@notreavenirevotreavenire436]

« Now, it was made clear to me…How merciless people could be. » Sonozaki Shion.

[@immarrci]

Forget finger nails for a moment. This is where the true horror of this scene lies in.

[@Faustus960]

the part at 1:56 is so melancholic...

[@Asehpe]

What an appropriate sound track for the battle between two man-eating demons, as Shion saw it. I wonder if this music was played during the Watanagashi festival, while Rika did her ritual dance. It would befit a symbolic reenactment of the ritual killing and dismembering of human victims.

[@youngkappakhan]

It plays when Rika butchers herself with a kitchen knife so Shion can't have the satisfaction of killing her, close enough.

[@Asehpe]

@@youngkappakhan True. But it would be so awesome to watch Rika's Watanagashi dance while listening to this...

[@youngkappakhan]

@@Asehpe i dont think this soundtrack works for that cause watanagashi is supposed to be pretty innocuous on the surface and this soundtrack on the other hand has brutal intensity

[@Gavi-zy6vv]

파국으로 치닫는 클라이막스 긴장감 조성에 탁월한. 이 시나리오의 작가는 훌륭하다.

[@Foopy64]

my favorite piece

[@bradcotter3682]

If they remade this series, a shorter version this track would make for a great tv intro sequence

[@ArcheRitt]

If they had to do Higurashi again, they would need a lot more of episodes

[@PurpleTako]

@@ArcheRitt well guess what.

[@froufroudeluxe]

What did you think about the first episode so far?

[@bradcotter3682]

@@froufroudeluxe I really liked it

[@Yoshiinite]

@Abraão Deas Confirmed to be 24 episodes, so it's even less than the original one lol

[@cosmosofinfinity]

Mental fucking breakdown

[@KlydeVividarium]

I want this song played at my wedding

[@NightMargins]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH

[@grahamholbrook9112]

oh hey i remember you! i didnt know you were a fan of higurashi too thats so cool

Shion was a scary mf man lol

[@Compani0nCub3]

greatest show is existence

[@AFM_35]

레나가 학교 점거하기 시작할 때 이 브금이 ㄹㅇ 레나의 광기와 합쳐져서 최고였다.

[@zo0bit]

Shame this track wasn't in the BGM Patch :/

[@ВоваМ-х9з]

Mion: Hold that bxxxh down.

[@theproblemmustbeinyourpant5910]

This track sounds like it was inspired by 2001 Microphones album “The Glow Pt.2”

[@vanishy0urself]

Even though it fits the scene by filling it with weird sounds to represent Shion's feelings at the moment... Kyouki and Oshin are both scarier. Not that this isn't scary in it's own right, but still...

[@TheAlisssou]

I like that this one is not scary but more panic inducing, she is not here to be scary but completely mind wrecking

[@graxyandroid_9878]

"I can see...her eye. I am going to break her."

[@이섹이]

이게 원래 스피커 찢어지는 소리 나게 만든 음악인가

[@Garmiet]

Question: does this song play in any of the other Higurashi games? And if so, when? It’s such a kick-ass piece.

[@Reshimin]

Garmiet It plays in the original sound novels. Not an adaptation. It plays somewhere in the shion arc (answer circle)

[@circlesamurai2317]

It plays 2 times in Shion arc: when she teared out her nails and when she used electroshock on Oryo and Mion.

[@Garmiet]

Circle Samurai Thanks, but I meant does it play in the other three Kai games as well?

[@TwistedScarlett60]

It happens at the climax of the 6th chapter

[@Garmiet]

Tobias Reilly Ah, thanks!

Decided to listen to it with my earphones instead of usual headphones. My advice: Don't. Seriously, don't.

You may find me crazy, but I'll have this song play tomorrow,. during Election Day... as the first results start coming in...

[@bubbawaba98]

The anime is "Higurashi no naku koro ni".

[@asterthebastard]

But this track didn't even play in the anime...

[@emeraldhunter1]

It was used in the Sound Novel

[@totenblume7517]

This track always gave me chills and accompanied the best parts.
