Do you guys know something? :3

Ryuukishi07 apparently told them some stuff, but don't expect them to tell anyone about it.

I kind of expect it to be in some kind of fantasy universe. Remember that Grand Court of Witches that Lambda and Bern kept referring to?

I don't expect that at all.

Higanbana ending with only 2 installments? I've haven't read any of the stories yet but how long is each story in comparion to an Umineko Episode? Does the second night answer all of the first night's questions or does each story resolve its problem within that story?

Each story is as long as a standard chapter in an Umineko episode, if not longer, and all vary in length. And each story is self-contained; it's an anthology of short stories with some recurring characters, like Hell Girl.

Japan just started on Midori's story in Dragon Age. The fourth tankoubon is to be released February 9 of this year. There's plenty more manga chapters to come out, it's just they haven't been translated into English yet...

Let's just say that The First Night is about the length of an Umineko episode. Although I can't really be specific, since I haven't actually played Higanbana normally (I take much longer than normal since I have to fix errors and stuff).

Higanbana isn't really a mystery story like Higurashi or Umineko. Everything that happens in the story is basically true. You could essentially say that all the text is Red Truth (albeit not red).

And as immblueversion mentioned, each chapter is a different story, although they do feature recurring characters.

Well, it takes time to translate and stuff obviously, but the last volume came out ages so, my bad.

The third volume was released September 9th of last year, it really isn't that long ago.

Well the space between 2 and 3 was huge and since it got started in 2010 only 3 volumes have been released.

[Yirba]

Well, at least Higanbana is doing better than Gakkou Youkai Kikou ever did…

[Joly]

Higanbana started in May of 2010 and one new chapter is published monthly in Dragon Age. Gotta wait a bit until there's enough chapters to put into a volume. The wait for new volumes doesn't seem too bad to me.

I only saw the short manga adaption of Gakkou Youkai Kikou... I really liked Rei Izumi's style. I'm used to the current artist's style, but I do wish Izumi came back to do more. ;;

[immblueversion]

So.

Anyone have anything to say about them chapters for the latest game?

Like maybe what was going on?

[RedKey]

I have a request. Does anyone know the official lyrics of 愛しを渡るは黄昏ぞ? I tried looking for them but every one was a somewhat different version from the other.
ATM, my best guess is:

Spoiler for OP lyrics:

明けない夜　数えながら
過ぎ去った日　想い続けた　巡る夢の中
消えてゆく影法師

溢れる終の願い　尽きることない
後悔の果て　彼の岸渡れぬまま
愚かな花と散る

包まれ　息吹く永遠の闇
冷たすぎて　もがくだけの巡りよ
枯れないで　私たちは美しいまま

踊ろうよ　幾千の月
閉ざされた目を抉るように
愚か輪廻　貴方に誘う
堕ちて笑うは　だぁれ？

What do you think?

I think these are also the lyrics dunno how much more accurate but look @ these too maybe and check yours?
明けない夜　数えながら
過ぎ去った日　想い続けた　廻る夢の中
消えてゆく影法師

溢れる追の願い　尽きる事ない
後悔の果て　彼ノ岸渡れぬまま　愚かな華が散る

包まれ息吹く　永久の闇
冷たすぎて　もがくだけの廻りよ
枯れないで　私達は　美しいまま

踊ろうよ　数千の月
閉ざされた目を　抉るように
愚が輪廻　新たに誘う
堕ちて嗤うは　だぁれ？

I'm pretty sure this line can't be right.

Hmm, may be.

Anyway, what's with that strange kanji usage? 嗤 instead of 笑, 華 instead of 花... Oo

[Yirba]

All I can say is, you can see our interpretation of the OP in this video (around 2:10):

If there's anything wrong with it, I can see about getting it fixed…

[Bluemail]

I found lyrics for the full version here: http://kurubushicoffee.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-108.html
I'm not 100% sure they're the official lyrics, but it has those extra quotation marks and word trickery, so I guess they're legit. I only changed the '生きていく' from near the end to '生きてゆく', as the singer clearly pronounces it that way, and wrote them again without furigana here:

Spoiler for Japanese lyrics:

明けない夜　数えながら
過ぎ去った日　想い続けた
巡る夢の中　消えてゆく影法師

溢れる終の願い
尽きることない後悔の果て
彼の岸　渡れぬまま
愚かな花と散る

包まれ　息吹く永遠の闇
冷たすぎて　もがくだけの巡り夜
「枯れないで　私たちは美しい儘…」

踊ろうよ　幾千の月
閉ざされた目を抉るように
ほのかに揺れ、貴方誘う
誰そ彼、惑う頃に

佇むあの　娘はだれ？
閉ざされた記憶の中に
戯れ語る者が　貴方と指を切る

端に秘めるは陰陽の謡
息を止めてココロ断ち切るのなら
通りゃんせ　其の先はもう、寂滅のほとり

渡ろうよ　宵闇の星
汚れた糸を　解くように
噛み砕いても、渇きは癒えず
転がる骨の中で…

「何の為に生まれ、生きてゆくの？
教えて下さい、人の生きる意味を…」

「この夜は、胡蝶の夢。
アナタの為に生きなさい…」

枯れぬ花はないよと笑う
現世を越えて、今、届け。
私に咲いた彼岸の花
己の血は無罪のままよ…

「堕チテ嗤ウハ、誰…？」

I also transcribed it into romaji:

Spoiler for Romaji lyrics:

akenai yoru kazoe nagara
sugisatta hi omoi tsuzuketa
meguru yume no naka kiete yuku kageboushi

afureru tsui no negai
tsukiru koto nai koukai no hate
ka no kishi watarenu mama
orokana hana to chiru

tsutsumare ibuku towa no yami
tsumetasugite mogaku dake no meguri yo
”Karenaide watashitachi wa utsukushii mama...”

odorou yo ikusen no tsuki
tozasareta me wo eguru you ni
honoka ni yure, anata izanau
tasogare, madou koro ni

tatazumu ano ko wa dare?
tozasareta kioku no naka ni
tawamure kataru mono ga anata to yubi wo kiru

hashi ni himeru wa onmyou no uta
iki wo tomete kokoro tachikiru no nara
tooryanse sono saki wa mou, jakumetsu no hotori

watarou yo yami no hoshi
yogoreta ito wo hodoku you ni
kamikudaite mo, kawaki wa iezu
korogaru hone no naka de...

”Nan no tame ni umare, ikiteyuku no?
Oshiete kudasai, hito no ikiru imi wo...”

”Kono yoru wa, kochou no yume.
Anata no tame ni ikinasai...”

karenu hana wa naiyo to warau
utsushiyo wo koete, ima, todoke.
watashi ni saita higan no hana
onore no chi wa mutsumi no mama yo...

”Ochite warau wa, dare...?”

I might as well include a smaller version with only the opening lyrics, though it's just the first verse and the last line of the chorus changed to the very last one:

Spoiler for Opening lyrics:

明けない夜　数えながら

溢れる終の願い

冷たすぎて　もがくだけの巡り夜
「枯れないで　私たちは美しい儘…」

踊ろうよ　幾千の月

Didn't take the time to translate it right now. Anyway, you seem to have it mostly right in that video, but there are a couple of things that need fixing. I can't wait to read your translated version!


The blog has lyrics for the full version of Spider Lily (2nd Night Ending song) as well! http://kurubushicoffee.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-109.html
In addition to that, I finally found the song on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuIU5-6B_fQ
I really love this song! It might be the best vocal song from dai/Luck-Ganriki yet.

Thank you for your help, everyone

Those lyrics seem legit. However, I'm wondering about a line:

ほのかに揺れ、貴方誘う

"The flickering invites you faintly"? What does this refer to? I thought 愚か輪廻 made sense in the usual Ryukishi universe, as in "The futile Samsara invites you". I'm puzzled.
