I am a native English speaker so it's haunting to hear what I know so well in Japanese. The lyrics are even more devastating in English, I think . You have a lovely voice. You capture the spirit of Higurashi beautifully. There's nothing more I love than Higurashi, so I cherish this.
@@asthavkhasiya I used to be pretty obsessed about getting my friends into it back in the day. But you can't just force that. Though I managed with one good friend and we watched the series together.
To be fair, these lyrics aren't a 100% translation, some of the lyrics were changed to make it easier to sing as Japanese has waaaay more syllables than English. She did a good job sticking to the theme of the song though that's for sure. It would be super difficult to sing the full translation, which is why I say Japanese songs tend to tell a story rather than mean something like English. Where as English will sing a song to express ones love, a Japanese song tends to tell a story about love
Beautiful... just beautiful. This is the only English cover of this song I've heard but I'm sure it will be my favorite even if I hear 15-20 more English covers of this song.
Judging by your profile picture you are a higurashi fan and that's awesome. I agree, this is the first and best eng cover of this song I heard and is my most favorite in the Higurashi ost. I hope you have an amazing day :D
Okabe Every time I hear this song I think of the scene where rika is tied up in the back of takanos car and hanyuus crying because she let rika down again
This song always made me think of how everything was going to turn out in the end of the story. Before the recent ones came out, and how fate was looked at in someone's hands.
this is beautiful! Your voice inspires me Jayn! one day i wanna be just like you! A wonderful singer with so much talent that makes everyone’s day when they hear your singing! keep on singing Jayn!
Its 2020 and I STILL love this song. I listened to this song after a really bad break up like half a decade ago now and I still think its one of the best songs I ever heard. I love the content you continue to put out and will continue to be a avid listener.
Okay, so just a little fun fact to go to this _very_ beautiful song. Higurashi translates to "When the Cicadas Cry", and if you don't know what a cicada is it's basically a butterfly's and fly's love child, kinda like a colorful fly with somewhat bigger and thicker wings. I suggest just googling it. Lmao. In Japan when cicadas are seen in the summer it's a sign of rebirth and renewal. With all of this happening in the summer with the different timelines going on, renewal, etc. etc. There's also lots of crying. Welp, there you go; the more you know! (Also, thanks for reading all of this.)
IchibanOjousama Thanks for the reply. I apologize for not being clear in my comment. I intended to merely point out the...amount of crying, not interpret the title as a parallel for the character's actions. It could be seen that way though. I see that you're very opposed to that though. What do you think the crying of the cicadas represents?
I've seen the first and second seasons so many times, never get tired of them. One of the few series where I just can't bring myself to skip the opening songs.
this is such an amazing cover. so delicately executed-- your voice conveys the enigmatic and eerie aura of the original, yet it still sounds so very beautiful.
Wow, actually that was massive. I didn't know if that cover would be worth listening, 'cause sometimes, there's some covers on UA-cam with bad sound quality. But yeah, your cover was really nice ! Your voice and the lyrics you made for this version of this song really made me cry a bit. I might go and check your other videos, because this one was so great that I can't imagine what other song you covered that nicely, and I look foreward to discover it :)
It's been six years since I watched Higurashi, and this song being in English made me realize that it expresses Shion's feelings rather tha Rika's. It's beautiful.
A little late, but oh my god I love this song so much! You're voice is so beautiful and fits the song so well! Every time you do an Umi/Higu song I get goosebumps! Thanks so much for doing this song~!
My friend and I loved this song. We always heared the song together and you cover too. Now....always when I hear the song.. I remember on my friend...who is now dead. The song was our favourite song (I hope this was english...I can't speak english)
Your voice is so lovely! I just subscribed today after watching your English cover of 'Seizensetsu' for Bernkastel and it was amazing! I really want to see you make another fandub of a Umineko song c:
I love how you dont act like your better than anyone like somepeople do. I mean you always provide lyrics mp3 ect. im sure you have to make some money but you arent conceited and its amazing. your a good person. thank you for singing for all of us
+Fazbears Gaming I really appreciate this. I don't consider myself better than anyone, I'm just a dork who likes to sing. :P More often than not I don't actually feel good enough for the attention my stuff gets sometimes, I get major anxiety over it, hah. It's nice to earn money sometimes, but just because it enables me to keep singing and allows me to support myself. :) Thank you listening!
And so..The amazing streak of covers is still going higher. Love the lyrics and the voice. Good job:) I would live to see the opening of Hunter x Hunter since the serie is over.
Jayn, i have never tought, that you'll cover it, just like Puppet, Tarantula, and Still Doll ^ω^ You're so amazing. I think, that you singing 'Pandora no Yoru' from Corpse Party (or anything from that amazing game) will be so much beautiful :3
Is there an instrumental version of the cover available? I really like the sound of the instruments being more deeper in tone compared to the original.
beautiful! i was wondering ---- i am planning on putting together a higurashi no naku koro ni kai english dub over this summer (2017). Would i be able to use this (with credit of course!) at the end of the episodes to replace the japanese closing?
The way the lyrics are written is great. The fact that there's no awkardness in the English flow is really impressive.
I remember listening to this song all the time back in the 7th grade and now I recently graduated high school and came back to hear this masterpiece!
I am a native English speaker so it's haunting to hear what I know so well in Japanese. The lyrics are even more devastating in English, I think . You have a lovely voice. You capture the spirit of Higurashi beautifully. There's nothing more I love than Higurashi, so I cherish this.
I love all the people who love Higurashi
@@asthavkhasiya I love the fact that there are many people that are lucky enough to love Higurashi for what it is. Not that many people will.
@@ditlos3112 That's true.. Even when I draw most of my drawings are of Rena Ryuggu to promote higurashi..

It's been 9 years, but I'm still occasionally listening to your cover just as I was all those years ago. Hope you're doing well!
I normally really dislike English covers of Japanese songs, but this is divine.
Truly
i know this cover is one of your older ones, but you could straight up voice rika. this is so so pretty. its perfect.
Beautiful... just beautiful. This is the only English cover of this song I've heard but I'm sure it will be my favorite even if I hear 15-20 more English covers of this song.

;-; I can't stand the feels.. I see Rika and everything she got through and it kills me. You did an amazing job with this, I am trurly impressed!
Okabe Every time I hear this song I think of the scene where rika is tied up in the back of takanos car and hanyuus crying because she let rika down again
This comment aged well, You should watch Gou! *Billy Mays busts in* But wait! There's MORE! (suffering)
this is such a gorgeous english cover. it sounds so relaxing yet the lyrics are so damn sad Dx.., it's one of my absolute faves.
Just as good as when I first listened to it years ago.
Same here. Just got it recommended and thought how I could have ever forgot about this masterpiece
This song always made me think of how everything was going to turn out in the end of the story. Before the recent ones came out, and how fate was looked at in someone's hands.
this is beautiful! Your voice inspires me Jayn! one day i wanna be just like you! A wonderful singer with so much talent that makes everyone’s day when they hear your singing! keep on singing Jayn!
OK this hits like a truck with Gou lmao
Indeed.
LMAOO
Like that truck Satoko died with in that one loop
😳
Oh God... I've cried listening to this over the years, but never like now.
Its 2020 and I STILL love this song. I listened to this song after a really bad break up like half a decade ago now and I still think its one of the best songs I ever heard.
I love the content you continue to put out and will continue to be a avid listener.
This song made me cry a lot. So lovely and so sad.
So hauntingly beautiful
This is absolutely beautiful. I wish there was more artists as talented as her.
I'm begging you to make a redux of this...This is already spectacular but I think the improvements you've made over the years would really shine here.
Nice! I am deeply impressed.
+blubeagle55 I'm happy you like my Higurashi/Umineko stuff. I'm hoping to do a lot more in the future.
+LittleJayneyCakes I look forward to it.
+LittleJayneyCakes very nicely done
@@LittleJayneyCakes what happened to the original video? It says “•video”
This is so beautiful!
OMG! This is beautiful. Thank you for this cover. It is wonderful and so is your voice.
Why do i feel a slight pain in my throat
I wanna cry.. Most touching version of the lyrics yet.
This is still one of my favorite covers that you created.
Beautiful, truly beautiful. It is amazing what the fandom can accomplish. Thank you, beautiful voice!
in light of the remake of higurashi i am now back :p this cover is really good!
It is no remake. We were fooled, as Ryukishi07 is a troll.

Lucilia Ply also, the crying of cicadas is not the crying of the characters. stupid
Lucilia Ply maybe she interprets it like that, and don't call people stupid, that's rude
IchibanOjousama whoops I meant to send it to you ^-^;;
Himawari Uzumaki Thank you! I corrected it accordingly.
IchibanOjousama Thanks for the reply. I apologize for not being clear in my comment. I intended to merely point out the...amount of crying, not interpret the title as a parallel for the character's actions. It could be seen that way though.

This is still one of my favorite covers no matter how old it gets.
Espectacular cover, no puedo decir más, es precioso y cuida muy bien los tonos y acordes, simplemente bello ☺️🥰
...Wow... Just... Wow... Holy shit WELL DONE! This was so beautiful..
I've seen the first and second seasons so many times, never get tired of them. One of the few series where I just can't bring myself to skip the opening songs.
You have such a unique quality to your voice. If I were to see you singing live I fear I may fall in love~
So beautiful! I just remembered how much I loved Kai
Your singing > my life
I still need to finish Higurashi oops
this is such an amazing cover. so delicately executed-- your voice conveys the enigmatic and eerie aura of the original, yet it still sounds so very beautiful.
My favorite ending in all of anime. Thank you for making this.

Your voice is so lovely! I just subscribed today after watching your English cover of 'Seizensetsu' for Bernkastel and it was amazing! I really want to see you make another fandub of a Umineko song c:

Is there an instrumental version of the cover available? I really like the sound of the instruments being more deeper in tone compared to the original.
It's great
Your voice is amazing. Love this song. Can you please do the English version of the song "Waltz of the Moon Rainbow" by Kagamine Rin?
beautiful! i was wondering ---- i am planning on putting together a higurashi no naku koro ni kai english dub over this summer (2017). Would i be able to use this (with credit of course!) at the end of the episodes to replace the japanese closing?
Must know...how you....colored these....kawaii pictures!
What I wouldn’t do to have this on Spotify
Hi! Can I translate this in spanish? Please, is so cute!! T_T

Can you upload an instrumental version? Your voice is great! I just like instrumentals.
The song is called Taisho A. You should be able to find an instrumental version that way
Sam Geuvenen I think I wanted specifically her instrumental version. But thanks anyways.
