Both films use a song as a narrative motif. Ride Your Wave uses an original song, "Brand New Story" by Japanese band Generations from Exile Tribe while Whisper of the Heart uses the classic John Denver song "Country Roads" (specifically Olivia Newton-John's cover). Both films follow a female protagonist who at some point during either film, realizes and works towards a goal that is personal to them. While both films are similar in that they're about young woman coming of age, they are quite different in subject matter/themes.

The curtains fall on humanity and the players are beckoned off the stage. However, despite this, life continues on. Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou And Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou are both Slice of Life series that take place after the apocalypse (for lack of a better word). Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou follows two young girls as they travel through the remnants of a destroyed city while Yokohama Kaidashi Kikuo is about the everyday life of a robot named Alpha. Both series have an episodic narrative structure and have a deep connection to the "Mono no Aware" style that Japanese fiction is known for. Both Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou and Yokohama Kidaishi Kikuo fall under what is known as the iyashikei genre as well. P.S. This is more of a recommendation towards the Yokohama Kaidashi Kikuo manga. While the OVA is pretty good and definitely worth watching if you like Slice of Life, the manga is an overall better experience and a must read.
