dupe: http://www.videosift.com/video/Music-scenes-from-Ghost-in-the-Shell

The other vid has two scenes including this one.

Thanks. I'm a big Miyazaki fan, and new to anime, so if you have any suggestions, I'd really like to hear them.

Does this not count as a duplicate? I'm sure I've seen posts being discarded for the same reason.

This video is being sent to Sift Talk for discussion - blog requested by jonny.

They are different, the other includes a scene before titles Tokyo city, and The Festival. This one is just the festival. Seems to me there was a sift talk about this not too long ago. I'll do some digging and see what I can dredge up about the issue

This post and its discussion seem to be on point. I realize that was a much closer call, because the original didn't include a completely different scene, but Lucky's comment seems particularly relevant:

The unwritten rule that's always been observed is to allow a near dupe if the content is very different (in this case it is not) or the dupe contains much more content in addition to the original post (again, not the case here).

After watching both my opinion is that this is not a dupe even if it does meet the FAQ definition. This one is much higher quality and in the correct aspect ratio. The amount of extra material in the original makes it unwieldy and probably should have been split, so having a subset is not bad in this case.

I don't know the history and don't wish to sound like I'm a soapbox, but FYI the FAQ seems clear on what is a duplicate (my emphasis):

22.Posting Guidelines

5. Search the site before submitting to see if the video has already been posted.

Duplicates will be *discarded. A duplicate video is one that shows a portion of or the entirety of content already on VideoSift. Small changes in content, like different background music, will still be considered dupes.

I tend to agree this is a dupe per the guidelines, sorry *discard
