Huh? No, it isn't. (Did you think Chewy was asking about Matsuribayashi? I'm pretty sure he/she is referring to the PS2 game.)
I haven't played my copy of Matsuri extensively, due to no modded PS2 / buggy emulator that freezes halfway through Onikakushi, but have listened to the OST that came with it. The music is by a circle of at least 8 composers called '5zizz', and varies widely in quality. The "happy town music" is quite good, the energetic music ranges from listenable to awful ("DEAD END Symphony" in particular makes my ears bleed), and the dramatic music isn't bad but doesn't have the same impact as dai's. All told, it's not as good as Kai's soundtrack. The Japanese seem to think so as well, they're replacing the BGM of most Matsuri videos they upload with the original songs. Incidentally, the music is the thing I'm most worried that the anime version of that climatic scene won't get right. I am really praying with all my heart that Kenji Kawai rearranged 虚 for the purpose (though it seems unlikely, since he hasn't paid the game music any heed prior to this.) It's an absolutely perfect song for the scene... so much that I tear up whenever it comes on my music player, just from the association. |

Most of the youtube & niconicodouga videos that are linked here are PS2 Matsuri game scenes with the soundtrack re-dubbed from the original doujin game. Why? Because most people prefer dai's music which fits much more into Higurashi's story, that's why!!
I would imagine the reason why you guys like these videos. Half of it is probably because of the music. Am I right? Yes, Kawai Kenji's music in the anime is really good...but if you've played the game, you would know that half of what makes Higurashi great is because of dai's music. And most would say that out of all of dai's music in Higurashi, the music titled "YOU" is the most PERFECT soundtrack that creates a tear-jerking emotional response to such scenes.

I will agree with SevenHS: Matsuri soundtrack is "so-so". It is certainly fine/good with fun tracks, but some parts are dull, especially some "creep" tracks (for instance, the track used for Shion's phone call)
I think in some extent, the anime beats matsuri in that regard. There is no doubt the original tracks by dai are simply overkill, not only because of their quality but also the timing and feelings literaly perfect for the scenes. There are some weird exceptions, however. the most notable one is probably the "final" scene (the 皆殺し). 嘘 was... well, not exactly fitting the scene. (i may missed the point... long life to half ass google translation...) however, prior and after this scene, it is just too good : 一重 was just... well, tear jearking? I believe i cursed a lot during this. gah. YOU and conviction are absolutely great with everyone after "that". Despite their hope during this, it is bitter... 月(惨⇔賛)歌 by 風域 is perfect as well, demonstrating the mood ot "this person". dang... it is a shame we don't got tracks as great as the actions / casual days... Action : Search and Destroy, C-examination, Fearlness, You -destructive, assault_operations (damn for this one... hope "that character" will have their POWNAGE scene...) Casual days : air plzz, daily passing by, what is wished, etc. *sigh* hope they will pull something as good as YOU, thanks and being >_>

...Or are 虚 and 嘘 different songs? I bought a copy of 'yours' and one of the songs that plays during the final parts is listed as the former, so I thought that's what you're talking about. dai is amazing, but one thing he could stand to improve at is naming songs Quote:
Could try to redub the anime with both the original-game music and the Matsuri voices... but that'd just be nuts and probably have lipsync issues |

Not exactly heroic, it is hard to tell... But i must admit, the more i "watch" the final scene with 嘘, the more it is growing on me. But it is really weird to me, for Mion >_> I think it is a big contrast considering what happened before with the almighty 一重. Guess i will try either 虚 or 嘘 with the anime version. Quote:

I'm just wondering if it is possible to get only the "voices" track with DVD, since they are using several "channels" for the language... or do the voices are "hard merged" with the BGM? Quote:

But if you REALLY want to play, you could try to learn some japanese from it^^'' Although it may be very hard, it's worth it(both for the game and what you'll learn)

Your other option is the fan translations, which unfortunately are having a bumpy ride as well. |

2. Use an audio program to invert all the soundtrack's wav file 3. overlay them to their respective BGM used in the anime 4. BGM cancels out, leaving only the voices. |
