In the video Aoi sings under the light of a big blue moon while standing on a cliff and lying in a bed of blue flowers surrounded by torches. With orchestral strings and acoustic guitars complimenting Aoi’s powerful vocals, “Lapis Lazuli” is an amazing addition the legacy of one of Japan’s longest running fantasy series.

If you are in Japan, here is the version of “Lapis Lazuli” which is available on YouTube. For some reason, it is not the full version.
