  The premise for this music video came from my good friend Tommy G. He was pursuing the catalog here at the Org and noticed that nobody had ever posted a video for Maurice Chevalier. Most notably his very famous tune, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls." I was stunned. I couldn’t believe it! I asked him if he wanted to correct that, and he said no. However he could see my interest in the idea, so he suggested that I should make a video.
  
  I was tickled pink. I immediately went through his extensive anime collection and picked out as many titles as I could that would fit the theme.
  
  I wanted to implement a lot of the lessons that I had learned about making music videos. First, I wanted to approach the music video more as a choreographer, than as a director. I wanted to see this video as a dance, rather than as a play. I also wanted to make this video highly intricate and very meticulous. Most importantly of all, I wanted to keep a spirit of innocence in this video. I highly prize the pure innocence that all of these character's demonstrated in their own stories.
  
  I hope that I accomplished all of those goals to the best of my current abilities. Thank you for reading this, and I hope that you enjoy my music video.
