Door To Summer (Natsu no Tobira)
Triple Ocarina | Umineko OST Cover
Umineko OST meets Metal Triple Ocarina
Time for an all-new Umineko no Naku Koro ni rock cover. Yeah, you read right.
As seasonal boundaries begin to blur, the ocarina blooms and creates a Door between the classic Ocarina Heavy Metal Remix and J-Rock Ocarina.
This song was lovingly performed on a triple ocarina and two different 7 string guitars.

10 Facts You Should Know About Door To Summer
- First ever recorded 7 string guitar performance, and also
- First ever recorded triple ocarina performance by Gin, as "The Botanist", who first appeared in this MV as a protag.
- This MV was filmed in 3 different seasons, 2 cities and multiple types of weather.
- It is Gin's first MV to feature ducks and rain.
- The filming and recording took 354 days, counting from the date of dai kindly giving his permission to showing dai the finished video.
- The Botanist's face is never actively shown.
- Cut at 131 seconds, it is Gin's shortest (but dare I say sweetest?) MV to date. Makes sense, considering how long dai's original Natsu no Tobira is.
- Door To Summer's release was set just in time for Umineko no Naku Koro ni ~ Stage of the Golden Witch ~.
- Door To Summer was Gin's first MV to "premiere" on YouTube, as opposed to just being published. And due to how the stars aligned, Gin ended up missing the exact few minutes of this premiere. Curiously, perhaps this particular occurrence is actually more in line with The Botanist's personality.
- The ocarina in Door To Summer **** *** *****.

Door To Summer: Epitaph
The Botanist's to-do list is quite long, and then some.
Certainly, he already noticed that the Door To Summer works both ways.
However... Does he realize?
Does he understand that there is no turning back?
That he has gone through this Door god knows how many times?
Yet again, the Door To Summer announces the onset of a new journey.
But as we know, the sweet sound of this song is ephemeral at best.
