This album features 16 theme songs of Ghibli films: Nausicaä, Laputa, Grave of the Fireflies, Totoro, Kiki, Only Yesterday, Porco Rosso, Ocean Waves, Pom Poko, Whisper of the Heart, On Your Mark, and Princess Mononoke.
It comes with a 16-page booklet with the lyrics of the songs and small pictures from each films. The Kiki opening theme featured here is the "full" version of the original (1970s) Yumi ARAI song, while in the movie and the Kiki soundtrack the second half of the song was faded off.
Super Bit Mapping and the Pure Digital Link System were used to improve the sound quality of the new recordings.
