Higurashi music discussion (OP/ED, game soundtracks, dramaCDs etc.)

[AmyElizzabeth]

Translations?

[Daisu]

Hey I have been trying hard to get the drama cds and even the last live movie translated. Few offered but none have not followed though. I can only offer the jest of what is happening

Sometimes it is hard enough just trying to explain to the translator what is needed when their English is as bad as my japanese. Track 4 should be easy to translate I will try to get that one done first....

It's only a matter of time for this to happen:

Higurashi Opera.

Wha wha wha wha???

I mean, I guess it's a good thing that Higu has risen up the popularity ranks to get it's own opera performance.

Though I'm wondering how the heck it's gonna go...

Spoiler for saving space:

"?: We had to be commited to the practice like this. Well, I think, if anything, the costumes were main, though.

Mion: Oh, sorry for my slip.
Rena: That's all right. Let's try again...
Natsumi: Mion-chan, you have made the same mistake three times. You need not say sorry. Instead, don't make the mistake again.
Mion: ok...
Natsumi: and Rena-chan,
Rena: Yes?
Natsumi: Your playing is too fast. You have to match your playing with the others'. You're not the only player.
Rena: ok, I'll try.
Natsumi: Now, let's try again from the beginning. 1,2,3,4...

?: The time to practice before we would make our bow was too short, so our practice was so hard. Well, it was so short that they would say "You make light of music, don't you?".

Satoko: Ouch! The blister has broken.
Shion: Are you ok, Satoko? I'll bring the first-aid kit.
Natsumi: Here is an adhensive tape. Reel it, and then, renew the practice.
Shion: Wait! Who can play an instrument with a finger like this?
Natsumi: You have to anyways. We don't have much time, you know.
Shion: Which do you think is more important, Satoko or the playing?
Natsumi: It goes without saying that I think the playing is.
Shion: W-what?!
Natsumi: I am looked to for all by Kimiyoshi-grandfather. You guys have to obey me.
Shion: You are...
Satoko: It's ok, Shion. I'll try.
Shion: Take it easy, Satoko. You may take a rest.
Satoko: Who folds up due to a pain like this? I'll try because Ni-Ni(?) is waiting.
Shion: Satoko...

?: I don't know about Natsumi's way. But our playing was being improved. And then we started to being a full-fledged band. But it's too early. They inside are saying "it's inconceivable. Do you guys practice in the Sheishin to toki no heya( the room of spirit and time maybe from DragonBall) ?" And in the course of time...

Mion: Rena
Rena: Mi-chan
Mion: Rena
Rena: Mi-chan
Mion: Rena!!
Rena: Come to think of it, we must not do this, Mi-chan.
Mion: Why not?! You know my mind already, right?
Rena: yeah... but you have Keiichi-kun.
Mion: Kei-chan? I'm not in love with him seriously. I actually have had you in my mind always.
Rena: Then...I want you to part from him before you go with me.
Mion: ok, I'm sure I'll part from him after the concert. For now...you know something...
Rena: Mi-chan. Stop it...Mi-chan! Mi-chan! Oh, Keiichi-kun...
Mion: (tut)
Keiichi: What are you doing?!
Mion: I didn't know you were there.
Keiichi: What do you mean? Mion, why on earth are you doing that with Rena?
Rena: Well, you are misunderstanding. We were not doing what you are thinking we are doing.
Mion: Kei-chan, you are not a child, so you know I was making love with Rena.
Keiichi: Why-why on earth were you doing that?
Mion: Of course, because I'm in love with Rena.
Keiichi: How-How about me then?
Mion: I was simply playing with you. P-L-A-Y-I-N-G.
Keiichi: Y-You have to be joking, right? Say it's a joke!! I'm wearing a pair of underpants of swan to please you today!
Mion: HaHaHaHaHaHa! You amuse me! You know what? I'll tell you last. Anyone who falls in love is the loser in this world! HaHaHaHa!
Keiichi: Nooooooooooooooooo! You heartless!!!"

[Daisu]

Thanks for the translation. And its Rika and Hanyuu in those monologues.


Thought it was never answered how Natsumi was related to kiichiro, maybe this says yes?

But can Hanyuu or Keiichi reach the high notes?

0_o . Considering Mion's doing the evil laugh, I'm gonna guess this was a dream sequence at the end there?

Hello, i have a request, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm9NSTSH1LI at 6:50 - 10:00 what song is it ? i know it's a bgm from the original sound novel, but i can't find it anywhere, and i don't know the bgm name :/ ( it's not ZERO) if a vn player can answer me, thx in advance ^^

[Daisu]

Link is dead I noticed Funimation Entertainment been doing their rounds yesterday

[PBsaffran]

Ocbx > it IS ZERO, as written in the credits.

okay thx, so the zero bgm i have already found was not a higurashi one

[Daizu]

Main Theme Yui. <3

[ozoz_93]

Random question: When are Rainy Days and dancers1 first played in Higurashi? Rainy Days is supposed to be an Onikakushi BGM according to the music box, yet I couldn't hear it anywhere before like Watanagashi/Tatarigoroshi (I might not have looked through all the tips, though). Dancers1 was an ending theme, IIRC, but was it for Tatarigoroshi or Watanagashi?

[PBsaffran]

Both tracks are from Kusanagi Kohji IIRC, and he contributed first for Watanagashi.

Rainy days first plays when Keiichi enters into Rika's house.
Dancers1.mp3 only plays once, after Tatarigoroshi's Epilogue, just as the victims' list starts.

[AmyElizzabeth]

My friend tried to translate Loop Garden.
Didn't go so well...
Look

[ozoz_93]

When is Utage played in Higurashi Kai? I can see it in the music box, but I never heard it in-game, and not in the tips or staff room either.

[PBsaffran]

It's the music of the secret ending to Matsuribayashi (aka kakera number 52).
I'm not saying more to avoid spoilers.

[Jaen-ni-rin]

It may or may not have been asked, but I couldn't really see it in past few pages and I didn't look through the whole thread, but does anyone know if the song at the beginning of this* episode is in any BGM collection or anything, since Rei (anime) doesn't have it's own soundtrack as far as I'm aware of.
