This album is a collection of music inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's storyboards and sketches from the acclaimed film, Whisper of the Heart. Includes four vocal tracks.

Whisper of the Heart is a beloved animated film from Studio Ghibli, directed by Yoshifumi Kondo and released on July 15, 1995. Based on Aoi Hiiragi's 1989 manga, the film features a screenplay by Hayao Miyazaki and marks the first Ghibli feature directed by someone other than Miyazaki or Takahata. This poignant tale, which introduced surrealist painter Naohisa Inoue to the studio's roster, reflects Kondo's unique vision before his untimely passing in 1998. The film remains a testament to his artistic legacy and Ghibli's enchanting storytelling.
