I would like to see this as well.. It has been around for awhile, so I would think that there would at least be an English subbed version, somewhere. I don't speak french, but just from the first lines in the second link, it appears to be something about a new female teacher at a primary school in Kira???
I don't know if Saddles' words put me on that track or not, but yes, a bit of "...Poppy Hill' feel to it.

EDIT
I found this on IMDb: I typed in "La Chorale" and got this under 'exact title match'.
Japan, our Homeland (original title "Furusato Japan"
The 31st year of the Showa Era (1956) marked the tenth year since Japan's defeat in World War II. It was when Japan took its first step out of post-war poverty to rejoin the international community. In old downtown Tokyo, a teacher and her students try to pass down Doyo (Japanese traditional children's songs) as the root of Japanese cultural identity to the future generations.
My thoughts:
The 1956 years seems to connect and it does seem to involve a new teacher.
Both are by Akio Nishizawa
and seem to be released in 2006 or 2007
Perhaps someone with more French that I have could translate and see if any of the description above fits in with what is in the second link in Saddles' post.
Anyone, Parle vous France'

Edit again:
OK, there is an official web site listed in IMDb that is in Japanese, but there is a box with 'english' that gives a lot of info... and another box labeled "Story", WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!!
http://www.furusatojapan.com/
everything seems to correspond with what I can pick up from the French dialogue. The Japan website does have clips, music and Japanese dialogue...
