I'm not sure about Kira, but Gou is indeed a sequel to Kai and Rei

yes but I'm sure about Kira tho. Kira seemed like an extra filler to me.

Yep, but I think Kira is just an official fanservice, sometimes even out of character.

The canon storyline is as follows, in this precise order:

1.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (first season) (2006)
2.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Nekogoroshi-hen OVA (2007)
3.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai (second season) (2007)
4.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei OVA episodes 2 - 4 (third season) (2009)
5.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gou (fourth season) (2020)
6.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu (fifth season) (2021)

The side stories which are like what-if, theoretical scenarios and/or bonus, filler, fanservice content are:

1.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei OVA episodes 1 & 5 (2009)
2.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira OVA (2011)
3.) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kaku: Outbreak OVA (2013)

Officially? Yes. Lore-wise? There's a contradiction with the Rika in Gou / Sotsu and the Rika in Rei.

I prefer to think of it as an alternative timeline, but that's not what it is officially.
When people tell me to stream anime on CR instead of downloading from fansub sites.
