I couldn't find a way to insert the video on the main site, so I thought I'd do it here for no real reason.

Oh and as a slight warning, if you're the sort who's really anal about spoilers - particularly in the case of the anime Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, then I guess I'd recommend not watching the video or looking at the lyrics too closely. I don't really think it's all that spoiler-y, especially for those who have no clue about Higurashi or know the characters, but as someone who can sometimes be pretty anal about spoilers myself I can understand wanting to be safe.


Moving on, this song was one of my main inspirations for the protagonist of my story, Micah Ever After, Micah's character, and I thought it would make a good image song both in general, and to be used for this recent chapter, Chapter 8. It encompasses her feelings towards her brother, and summarizes her general outlook on just how much she wants to be with him and go back to how things used to be.

Now I'd have a hard time believing anyone but me would even care about this kind of thing (In fact, I'm sure about 90% of the people who see this post will have heard "Micah Ever After" for the first time either way), which is fine of course since this was mostly for myself.

? Although, as a sort-of-interesting-but-really-only-interesting-to-me side note, I noticed that I made it on the weekly trending, albeit way at the bottom. I have no idea how with my slow writing speed, but now I know why my views kept spiking every couple of days recently.

Oh, and for those who don't know what an image song is and are curious enough to read about it, here you go.

How long has it been since I've heard this song... still loving it, that gentle voice, the accompanying piano.
You just made me interested in your novel with this!

The Higurashi anime was, for an adaptation, simply not well made, but the story for itself without considering the manga and visual novel, was incredible

The anime is a piece of art, if you cannot afford the VN, the manga would be an good replacement

Another franchise in the same universe would be Umineko no Naku Koro ni, but i would recommend that you do NOT watch the anime, it is completely a waste of time and mental sanity, the ideal would be the manga or VN

I feel kind of guilty, since I didn't post this with that kind of ulterior motive (Well, maybe a little). Thank you very much though. I hope it meets your expectations.

I do love it when authors love their works or are at least dedicated to it enough to think of stuff like voice actors for the characters or assigning image songs.

I can certainly see the passion, and I love it.

Admittedly, I haven't seen Higurashi but I have done my fair share of digging for spoilers to know the plot and what it's about lol

Yeah, especially as it ends somewhere in between the story, without ever finishing.

Another one that fits in the genre would be Shinsekai yori (From the new world). Opposed to Higurashi/Umineko it doesn't have the timeloops, but the same general direction. The anime is well made too, though I think no one here is opposed to a bit of reading.

Very nice, and congratulations!

I love including music recommendations with my chapters whenever possible, too.
