A remake of the vocaloid video "Witch -Witch Hunt-" with the Umineko cast... or, if you prefer, an Umineko Au story.
Yes, in my mind there's a plot behind this, but you're free to make up your own.
"Umineko no Naku Koro ni" by Ryukishi07, 07th Expansion & Square Enix
Scenes from:
"Turn of the Golden Witch" by Suzuki Jiro
"Banquet of the Golden Witch" by Natsumi Kei
"Alliance of the Golden Witch" by Soichiro
"End of the Golden Witch" by Aki Taka
"Dawn of the Golden Witch" by Momoyama Hinase
Cast:
Megurine Luka (Beatrice),
Kagamine Rin (Shannon),
Kagamine Len (Kanon),
Kamui Gakupo (Ushiromiya Battler)
Hatsune Miku (Furudo Erika)
The song is, of course, 'Majo -Witch Hunt-' (Witch -Witch Hunt-) by Megurine Luka, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Kamui Gakupo & Hatsune Miku and the translation is, of course, not mine.
'Majo -Witch Hunt-' (Witch -Witch Hunt-) by Megurine Luka, Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Kamui Gakupo & Hatsune Miku
Now, please take a look, at this sad story.
Now, don't forget to have your handkerchief ready.
In a faraway place, there was a witch.
She fell in love with a prince.
When the time-stopping magic was forgotten
The time of happiness began to reach its end.
Pinned to a cross, I look up at the sky,
(Repent! Repent!)
while the voice of prayers dies down.
(My devotion has evaporated into nothingness.)
If you're going this far as to call my love "witchcraft",
(Repent! Repent!)
then I will envelop everything in my flames of hatred.
(Death is weighing down upon us!)
Now, please take a look, at the seemingly burning sky.
Don't forget this flame of justice.
In a faraway place, there was a witch.
She deceived and seduced a prince.
For the one who was once under the witch's charm
The happy time is now over.
Tied to a cross, she calls for the devil.
(Repent! Repent!)
Before she loudly chants her wicked spell,
(Virtue has become vice.)
Cast judgment upon her sinful witchcraft.
(Now everything there is)
Envelop her in the sacred flames of righteousness.
(has derailed from the right path and gone mad.)
Such foolishness of the hollow people.
(Repent! Repent!)
The redness of the setting sun burns on.
(Death is weighing down upon us!)
When the time-stopping magic was forgotten
The time of happiness began to reach its end.
Pinned to a cross, I look up at the sky,
(Repent! Repent!)
while the voice of prayers dies down.
(My devotion has evaporated into nothingness.)
If you're going this far as to call my love "witchcraft",
(Now everything there is)
then I will envelop everything in my flames of hatred.
(has derailed from the right path and gone mad.)
Do not forget the reason behind these tears of blood
(Repent! Repent!)
red as burning flames!
(Death is weighing down upon us!)

For me it seems like everything was happy until Erika appears and turns Battler against Beatrice. Erika is maybe someone who opposed this relationship or is actually in love with Battler. Then, Beatrice's existence becomes known and is killed for the reason of being a witch/"deceiving" the prince or whatever Erika told Battler to turn him against Beato. Then, at the very end Battler understands he was deceived by Erika but it's too late.
Am I wrong? I'd like to hear your explanation anyway c:

@VelvetMarionette This is also a possible explanation. I'll send you a message with some others as I don't want to stop others from coming up with their own explanations and sharing them.

I found this in an animesuki thread of Umineko Music/MAD videos and I have to say this is truly awesome. There's few songs of vocaloid that I like and I'll have to include this one too! Also, the edit was astonishing, you made an excellent use of the manga pictures to go along with the song :D I'll be looking forward to more things like this.
Oh and I'll also look for the original vocaloid video right away! XD

@VelvetMarionette I'm glad you like it. Not all the Vocaloid songs are great but some are absolutely awesome... and some of the Vocaloid video are amazing! ^_______^ THANK YOU so much!

This left me speechless, and I wanted to smack a lot of the characters. :<
Poor Beatrice. :<

@HazelMage Yes, sadly the original 'Witch -Witch hunt-' video is a sad story so for this remake the only think I could do to soften it a bit was to make Battler regret Beato disappeared... but yes, Beato was rather unlucky in this...
