Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro.
Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games (and punishment games for the loser, usually him.) Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi. The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryuugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Hojo. So.Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa (based on the village of Shirakawa, Gifu, a World Heritage Site),which has a population of approximately 2,000. I'm sure you'll see it too once you start reading the translation. Already, after having only played through the first bit, I'm amazed how much deeper the emotions and understanding are in a text version of Higurashi over the anime or even the manga version. I'll probably start posting what I have done tomorrow. Needless to say this Guild was the first so, lucky you! If I could get a separate sub-forum for the translation that would be great.
Anyway, I sent out a message to all the Higurashi-based Guilds that whoever let me join their Guild first would get exclusive rights to my translation to post to draw in more folks etc. At this point I have the prologue and the first two days completely translated. I only have the first game at this point but I've been steadily working my way through it. Hello! So, I'm currently working on an English translation of the Nintendo DS Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kizuna series.
