Since I don't know any Japanese as well I can't really provide you with a statement you can use but the next best thing would be to speak in very very simple English.

So I suppose something like:


 * Hello [name]さん,


 * Please excuse me for using English, my Japanese is not very good.
 * I would like to create an animation using [song]. It will be non-profit.
 * Can I have your permission to use the song?


 * [Maybe a really simple comment about how much you like them/like the song]


 * Thank you,
 * [your name]

Should be okay. I tried to make it as unambiguous as possible.
