Hi everyone. I'm going to do a major makeover on higurashi∞infinity to make it more suitable for the upcoming Umineko stuff. I am asking today if any of you have any ideas I could use as the name for the site. For some ideas, higurashi∞infinity was chosen as the name to represent this site with the "infinity" representing the endless June in Higurashi no naku koro ni. The infinity sign is also located on the logo for the animated series, and therefore was chosen. I need a name for both

Shikata Akiko, who is the already known artist for the theme song of the Umineko visual novel, will have a large role in the soundtrack, and will release a new song within the soundtrack titled "Katakoi", a full version of the song "Umineko no Naku Koro ni" and several other songs.

It has been announced that the upcoming Higurashi no Naku Koro ni OVA, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei, will contain 5 episodes. I am getting the impression that it will go straight to DVD, with no TV release, as the DVD release dates have already been decided, but I'm deeply hoping it will be shown on TV because a two-month gap between episodes seems like a bit much. It will be released on a span of 5 DVDs with one episode on each, with a total of three arcs. The release dates are as follows.
