"Aozora" (青空, "Blue Sky") was the eighth single by the Japanese band The Blue Hearts. The song was recut from the group's third album Train-Train. This song was written in opposition to the continuing apartheid of the time.[citation needed] "Heisei no Blues" (平成のブルース), the B-side track, was not on the album Train-Train.
The song was covered by miwa in 2010, for use as the ending theme song of the animated film adaptation of Eto Mori's novel Colorful.[2] Mone Kamishiraishi worked with Glim Spanky on a cover of the song for her 2021 album Ano Uta -2-.[3]
In December 2019, the song was published as a picture book with illustrations by French artist Botchy-Botchy. Publisher is Gendaishokan and is only available in Japanese for the time being. The book also features a 2 pages original text written by Yoshimoto Banana, who is a fan of the band ´The Blue Hearts’.
