Tsuki No Waltz
is a 2004 Japanese anime music video created for the popular NHK program ''Minna no Uta'' by director Atsuko Ishizuka and Studio Madhouse. Production ''Minna no Uta'', a showcase for independent Japanese animators and musicians presented on the public broadcasting network NHK, had taken notice of Atsuko Ishizuka while she was still in college. Initially a student of graphic design, Ishizuka had taken to animation and produced several short films entirely on her own before being hired by Madhouse.
