When the Gulls Cry
Well, weeeeell. Thanks to emilioxchaltier , I've now Umineko no Naku Koro ni!
So, let's talk a bit about it.
Umineko no Naku Koro ni is a visual novel (not an hentai one =_= and it's more a sound novel), created by 7th Expansion, who also did Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
The story takes place in the year 1986, on an island called Rokkenjima. The head of a riche family, Kinzo Ushiromiya, is near death, and eight of his family members arrive on the island to discuss how Kinzo's assets will be divided once he is dead. Also on the island are three family members who live there, five of Kinzo's servants, and his personal physician. After the eight family members arrive, a typhoon traps them on the island and shortly after people start to get mysteriously murdered.

There's three story arcs, just like in Higurashi :
1st arc : Legend of the Golden Witch
2nd arc : Turn of the Golden Witch
3rd arc : Banquet of the Golden Witch
The opening song is Umineko no Naku Koro ni by Akiko Shikata. It's half japanese and half italian.
There's also a second version.
An anime is also announced, but the date is unknown. However, there's a manga.
Butbutbut! There's also the Motion Graphic...
The Motion Graphics are videos based on Umineko, but with a different design, and with Shinra Etsuko for the songs.
The first one is Genyou no Chou
The second one is Nakanai Kimi to Nageki no Gensou
-Lyrics-
~Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Akiko Shikata~
Il vento diviene bufera
Infuriano i marosi
Il mare chiama mugghiando la Maga che ha vissuto mille anni
Ho tanto atteso questo giorno!
Ho tanto temuto questo giorno!
Il destino, chi festeggerà?
Oh Maga! Oh Maga!
Che cosa mi annuncerai?
Yo o watari yuku tsuki ni shio wa takaku michite
Umineko no naku koe wa fuon no kumo o maneku
Konjiki no noroi to nokosareshi kotoba to
Himeyaka na hohoemi wa kurenai ni nijimu
Tozasareta hitomi de nani o motometeru
Kowareta sono kakera o atsumete mite mo
Fureta yubi o koboreru kimi ni todokanai
Kazarareta kyojitsu ai ga nakereba mienai
Beatrice! Maga crudele!
Di bellezza senza pari
Beatrice! Oh! Di dolcezza capricciosa
Mai potrò liberarmi dal tuo incantesimo
Se questa pena deve durare, almeno una volta abbi pietà
Maiodoru chou no tsubasa yume to utsutsu yukikai
Furiyamanu amaoto wa makoto mo uso mo kakusu
Hirakareshi utage to erabareshi hitsuji to
Karamiau nikushimi ga sakazugi o mitasu
Torawareta sekai de nani o sagashiteru
Yurushiaeru kiseki o negatte ite mo
Koe wa kaze ni saraware kimi ni todokanai
Kurikaesu kodoku ai ga nakereba kienai
Yosete wa kaesu yorokobi kanashimi
Kurai yahan no umi e nagasou
Namida mo kizuato mo subete ga majiriai
Itsuwari no kimi wa yami no naka e
Rumore di onde. La voce del mare come un canto
Ascoltando sembra purificarsi la colpa commessa
Mi culla dolcemente il rumore delle onde
Sereno mi addormento e ho sogni felici
Tozasareta hitomi de nani o motometeru
Kowareta sono kakera o atsumete mite mo
Fureta yubi o koboreru kimi ni todokanai
Kazarareta kyojitsu ai ga nakereba mienai
Cosa vedranno quegli occhi chiusi
Pur raccogliendo i frammenti sparsi
Cola dalle dita che si toccano
Senza potersi unire fino in fondo
False apparenze dissimulate
Senza amore, non si vede niente
Senza amore, la verità non si vede
~Genyou no Chou - Shinra Etsuko~
Amaoto sekasu you ni
Futatabi maku ga agaru
Utagai no koro wa meguri
Tamesareru sadame to
Hikari matou chou-tachi ga ima temaneku
Sekai wa yagate deguchi o tozashi
Aa~ ai o mayowasete
Arashi ga nuritsubushita
Todokanu himei kazoe
Kanashimi no rasen tadori
Tomosareta ketsu i yo
Hikari yureru chou-tachi wa mata kurutta
Sekai no tobira akete izanau
Aa~ ai mo mayowase
Urei nokosareta kotoba dake tada kizande
Kawashita chikai hatenaki inori
Aa~ mune ni nemurasete
Hikari matou chou-tachi ga yobu gensou
Sekai wa koware yoru e to kakushi
Aa~ ai ga mienai
Umi ni hibiku ano koe-tachi o nee kaeshite
Hakanaki kiseki ikuoku no yume
Aa~ nosete maiodore
