Trivia
During the filming for the earlier "Majo no Takkyubin" (Kiki's Delivery Service-lit. Witch's Express Delivery) (1989), there was concern that the name of the film, along with the character "Jiji", a black cat, would create a trademark conflict with Kuroneko Takkyubin (Black Cat Express Delivery). Kuroneko Takkyubin is like UPS or FedEx in the US and has a black cat as its logo. A compromise was reached when Kuroneko Takkyubin agreed to act as a sponsor for the film. "Mimi wo Sumaseba" (1995), set in 1990's Japan, features "cameos" by several of Kuroneko Takkyubin's distinctive green and tan delivery trucks, including a shot of one in traffic early on, when Shizuku arrives at school, when she and Yuko are walking from school, and during the closing credits (where the logo is clearly visible). There may be many others in background shots. See more »Goofs
(At 22:56 - 23:20) When Shizuku first follows Muta the cat into Mr.Nishi's antique shop. Just as Shizuku watches Muta enter the shop - we are shown a golden pig statue sitting on the ground being used as a door stop to hold the shop door open, you can see that it's head is angled so that it is pointed/looking to it's right (to the left from our perspective.) But in the next scene we see that the Pig's head is not angled to either side at all - and is instead shown looking straight ahead. See more »Crazy Credits
In the credit, we can also see Shizuku and Seiji riding on a bicycle. See more »Soundtracks

This is a simple story of the meeting of kindred spirits. I was completely captured by the pace and the atmosphere of the film. If you have any trace of romance in your soul and/or appreciate finely crafted animation and direction, you'll love this.
I, like thousands of other people, had a holiday romance in my early teens. This film sparked off all kind of memories I thought I had buried for life.
My 10 year old daughter also loved this and demanded to know when the sequel (based on the Manga story "Happy Time"?) will be made. (Hopefully in the same style, although, unfortunately, the original Director died a year after this was made.)
