Discussing Higurashi on Watanagashi Day, Celebrating Its 20th Anniversary

Sharing a shocking encounter through the game.

TsuN first encountered the series through the PC version. Back then, they didn't know much about the content and played it based on a friend's recommendation, but the fear they felt during a certain scene remains strongly etched in their memory. We reflect on the fresh surprises of that time, including the episode that left them shocked when they realized the connection while rewatching the anime adaptation later.

Memories of the songs that symbolize the series are revived.

The personality and the guest get excited talking about the music that symbolizes the series. The idea that listening to that opening theme brings back the tension of those days vividly is something every fan can relate to. We discuss the impressions both had not only on the impact of the music but also on the unique composition that touches the core of the story. There is a must-listen segment where the guest talks about a particular song and the memories associated with it.

The charm we want to look back on during this milestone year.

Reaching the major milestone of 20 years, both feel the depth of the work once again. The analysis that can only be discussed because we know the story, combined with nostalgic chatter about the past, is truly fitting for such a special day as Watanagashi Day. Even deeper topics follow, so please be sure to listen to the full episode.
