"When They Cry + Kai" |
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
| It is in the 58th year of Showa. The summer starts earlier than usual. In June, they’re enjoying the sound of cicada at noon and buzz of higurashi in the evening. |
| Here, Hanamizawa Village, which locates on the rim of 20th prefecture, is a small village whose population is less than 2,000. However, "it" repeats every year. |
| Hinamizawa Village Consecutive Unnatural Murders (1979 ~ 1983). |
| Every year, on the fixed day of June, one person dies and one person disappears. It is a death chain from the fight related to a big dam construction plan. The incident that was hidden in the middle of Showa revives. |
| Whether it is a plot or an accident...or a curse? |
| The person who’s supposed to be there doesn’t exist.
The person who must not be there does exit. The person whom you met last night doesn’t exit. The person who is there doesn’t live. |
| Is the tragedy inevitable? You can do nothing but succumb to it? |
| However, do not submit yourself to the tragedy.
It is only you that can face it. |
