Bad news, friends.
Here's a post left by JJS (head of [WinD] Higurashi projects) to my inquiry about subbing Kira:

You might remember Higurashi Rei started out with a silly fanservice episode and then the remaining episodes were a serious arc. Higurashi Kira is entirely fanservice, and it's gratuitous fanservice at that. No mystery, no suspense, no horrible murders, just happy fun time and borderline hentai. I might well be proven wrong once episode 2 comes out, but it seems nothing more than a cash grab by Studio DEEN and 07th Expansion. WinD has done some silly moe stuff in our time (*cough* Lovedol *cough*), but the current staff mostly agrees that there's no point in us spending time and effort on Kira unless it stops screwing around.
I know I sound all high and mighty about this, but I was genuinely looking forward to more of what I love about Higurashi and got something completely different and frankly unnecessary instead.

If you would like to voice your desire for [WinD] subbing of Kira, please post
HERE or talk directly with them on
IRC
Otherwise, we'd better start looking for other subbers ASAP.
