This is a Christmas/Holiday video
The song being used is Ave Maria, sung by Shinohara Emi. Some of you might recognize her name as that of the seiyuu for Kino Makoto, AKA Sailor Jupiter. I am not a Sailor Moon fan, but I will admit right here that Shinohara-san has a beautiful voice, so if anything, this video will be worth the download just for the song, and I say this with all honesty. While traditionally, Ave Maria is sung in Latin, this version of the song is sung in Japanese.
The Anime footage is from "The Dog of Flanders" a film I figure about 8 people have watched do most in part to Pioneer Entertainments shoddy handling of the title. Shame on you, Pioneer! But I figure that perhaps this anime will make people want to track down this classic animated film and watch it for themselves.
If you are looking for something to start getting you into the spirit of the holidays, check this video out...and give it a review or two
