Using Anakama music for Fan-Animation

TL;DR: Can you use Ankama's music for fan animations?

Hello, I'm currently doing a personal animation project, sort of a fan-animation to the World of the Twelve universe, and I'm nearing it's end.

As for a soundtrack, since Ankama's music is so unique in style, its hard to find anything similiar to it, and I thought it would be a neat way to pay homeage to the game(s) I've enjoyed since I was in middle school over a decade ago.

The problem is that the music is copyrighted, but either way, I was wondering about Ankama's stance on usage of their music for non-profit, fan-animations. Am I allowed to use it as I have no other intention than my own satisfaction and eventual viewer's.
If need be, I'll sit in my room and make the music whistling and drumming chopsticks on my table. I'm not kidding.

Thanks.

PS: for anyone curious, here is most(as in, there are some of them not uploaded since they're not really anything special) of the cuts, uncolored.
