On Octomber 17, was announced that the short ver of a heavenly blue PV, would be available on GyaO! for a week’s time for japanese IPs to watch. This was quite surprising considering that usually PVs are used to promote the releases they are for, and arent made after these have come out, especially since the song was released not only on “The Best Blue” but also as Anime ver single. According to this blog, they decided to make this PV because of the good response of people to the song (after the anime began broadcast in July of this year, the internet was abuzz with comments about how much people liked this song), and because “heavenly blue” has already been released three months ago, they had to hurry to make the PV.

The full PV is now available on japanese iTunes to download for just 400Yen (difference of LE and RE price). You need Japanese iTunes account to download.

Below is the short ver to see if you like it 🙂
