For those of you who'd like to get a little more insight into the life of Shirakawa people, go watch 'Shirakawa-go' from Begin Japanology series. It's in no way connected to Higurashi, but it's quite amusing in itself and hell, last part of it is what you could even call a 'lesser Hinamizawa Syndrome'...
I saw a white truck on the road, they were trying to kill the person filming! But overall, it looked like a person with Haminazawa Syndrome running all around the place. Lol, nice
Imagine watching the whole thing at once and then walking around Shirakawa-go in the dead of night to take photos. And then you meet a convincing-looking cosplayer.
It's funny thinking about it now, but if that actually happened to me... I'd die from fear and shit my pants, then scream. In that order. :D
Dear You. There's about seven version of the song sung by each of the heroines from the game. The song in the video closely resembles Shion's and Mion's versions, but they all have the same melody.
Well I have to agree with ya there,Norway is nothing but cold,but look at Shirakawago,it looks great,peacful and lovely,Anyways I am living in Ireland at the moment,but I need to tell you it is horrible over here,the weather aint right Lol
Soooo cool... It is like the higurashi thematic park... *scratch neck* I supose there in Japan should be many other anime places around besides the common Tokyo tower... Would be great to stop by someday, maybe go hunt treasures in the abandoned dam project *scratch scratch* You can find some lost bloddy saw or a mutilated corpse Yeah... *scratch*
you better leave befores someone tries to murder you....Cough Cough..Rena..Cough..Shion..Cough exscuse me.....LOL!!!! i wish i can go their right now.
I have a Rika and a somewhat-done Rena cosplay, and I'm half tempted to go there just for the heck of it and just nonchalantly walk around like there's nothing strange about anything that I'm doing... just a normal day in the village... xD People might stare... though. But what fun is it without getting weird stares?
I speak enough Japanese to get around, but not enough to hold a decent conversation, however, so that might be a problem... ;_; Thanks for the video! :)
There's several things I will do before visiting this place:
1. Carry a bottle of anti-depressants ( Just in case the curse is real, But not taking any chances!!! I'm staying sane!!!)
2. Always carry a weapon and supplies of sort (A gun would be my first choice, hidden knives will be my second)
When I'm there:
1. Never talk to the locals, including very cute girls ( Because I'm not wannabe involve in crazy peoples' issues thus eliminating me from someone's list of people to be horribly kill)

o my god, can't you tell the difference between fiction and reality? Sure it's a beautiful place to visit but it looks rather boring... It kind of reminds me of the dominican republic in a way.
well yeah u got a point. it may be somehow boring compared to the city but could be way better than the city, i would to live there when im old because it looks so peacfull and theres no pollution.. also looks perfect for training and to clean your lungs with some fresh air.
hahahaha yeah! that would be awsome, to watch higurashi in hinamizawa and then go to the murder place of the chapter u have just watched.. nice ambitions :P
Anyway, Yeah, Seeing as before i even started watching anime that i wanted to learn Japanese and move there to get a nice job in Japan. I think Shirakawago would make an awesome Holiday place, As long as you take the Higurashi DVD's and stay there for a while... (Until you've finished the DVD's)
ugh...can anyone offer a translation? oh, and it's yamainu. also, i would totally freak if i lived there n watched higurashi. i would probably go insane n start killing everyone XD
Plus i don't think there are maggots that get out of peoples throat and all that stuff. The only thing i believe there might have been a cult like that there they might have tortured people.
If it was a real story it would had been a big fuss about that.
He was just pulling our legs by saying that. Although murders in small villages is just as popular as major city murders. Think Midsomer Murders novels.
