Music Video
The promotional video for "Aozora no Namida" was directed by AT, and, like her previous two, was filmed at an unknown location. The PV starts off with the main character of Blood+, Saya Otonashi, preparing to fight a Chiropteran. The scene suddenly changes to Hitomi waking up on a staircase, looking around, and then walking down the staircase. The scene changes again to Saya killing the Chiropteran, the scene also constantly switching from Hitomi to this scene as Hitomi continues to "search" around the place. As the PV progresses, Hitomi stumbles upon Saya fighting another Chiropteran, with Saya losing control of her sword. Also, other scenes of Hitomi can be seen; Hitomi sitting on a bunch of rocks with steam around her, and Hitomi singing in a subway-like setting (this is also where the fight against the second Chiropteran takes place). Hitomi grabs the sword and kills the Chiropteran causing Saya to disappear with a smile. The end of the PV features Hitomi walking out onto a cliff to view a city being ravaged by more Chiroptera, her eyes glowing red.
