Music Video

The PV for "Kagerou" was directed by Kakimoto Kensaku. It features Onitsuka wearing a kimono on a beach. She occasionally transforms into a flock of crows, only to reform in another position on the same beach. At times, there are two Onitsuka's shown at once. There is a yellow filter on the video in order to make it seem hot, as if it actually were shot in a "heat haze."
