TV Animation Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When They Cry) Intro Theme: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Customer Reviews

I instantly fell in love with the song as the OP of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and I've got to say that the full cd-version is equally awesome. The sound quality is simply great and crystal clear, especially on "all alone". Great songs, even the karaoke versions are great to listen at just by themselves. If you like Eiko Shimamiya or Higurashi as a series, you should definetly get this!

Ah, I finally got my order right! Hooray for me!...Anyway, this song was a must have. I had never seen the show before, but a friend let me see/hear the intro theme and knew that I had to get it. I love how nicely the vocals complement the morbid and haunting feeling the music creates. A great buy whether you've seen the show or not. But I do recommend the show though, it's pretty cool.

I first heard the songs on this single from a friend of mine who bought it when it first came out, and when I heard it, I couldn't help but want my own copy. The songs are just so great. The first track, "Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni" has a dark and mysterious sound to it, but that's what makes it so cool. ^ ^ And Shimamiya sings it so well too. And the second track, "All Alone" is very nice. The lyrics give you a somewhat sad and lonely feeling, but the music itself makes you feel free at the same time. I recommend this single to everyone whether you're a Shimamiya/I'VE fan, a Higurashi fan, or just someone looking for good music. This single includes two of Shimamiya's best songs (in my opinion) plus karaoke versions for both of the songs. So there is absolutely nothing bad about this single. Grab it while it's still in print! ^ ^

I first heard "Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni" on a EFZ music video at YouTube and instantly fell in love with it. This CD is AWESOME!! I don't care what anyone says, this disc is definitely one of Eiko Shimamiya's best. The first track "Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni" is a mysteriously enchanting song that makes for a great music video. The second song "All Alone" is no disappointment. In this song, Shimamiya continues to use an enchanting voice that works very well with the song's slow pace. I LOVE IT! And the fact that this disc came equipped with Karaokes made it even more worth while. If you do not own this disc, then you're seriously missing out!

I personally bought it after seeing the anime (which isn't even done yet! lol), and having seen it helps a lot to understand the lyrics. But the song this single is titled after is so intense, you don't even need to have played the game, seen the anime or even know japanese to enjoy it!

Not all songs make the transition from 90-second TV-size clip to longer work, but the haunting "Higurashi no naku koro ni" succeeds handsomely. The karaoke version on this CD is also quite listenable on its own.

If you like ULYSSES, you will love Shimamiya's new song. This song is much better than ULYSSES, because it has a complex mysterious feeling in the melody, which I really like.
