Origin

In the Animal Crossing series, a traveling musician named K.K. Slider appears on Saturday nights. With his acoustic guitar, K.K. performs an extensive catalog of music inspired by a wide variety of genres. When K.K. completes his performance, he gives the player an instrumental "aircheck", which features different instruments and no lyrics.

Go K.K. Rider! is one of the songs K.K. could perform in the original Animal Crossing game. This particular song is styled after theme songs for tokusatsu series such as Kamen Rider. This arrangement mixes the vocal and instrumental versions of the song with an original bridge; the overall brass-heavy instrumentation references the theme song for the original 1971 Kamen Rider series, including the revving of a motorcycle at the very beginning.

Origin

This track is an arrangement of two music pieces from the Animal Crossing series. The first is the Town Hall theme, which would play when a player explored the Town Hall in Animal Crossing: Wild World, and the second is the Tom Nook's Store theme, which would play when a player browsed around Nook's Cranny; this particular arrangement most closely resembles the song as it appears in the original Animal Crossing. Both songs are very faithful to their original appearances, while adding orchestral additions as they progress.

Origin

This track is an arrangement of a song that was added to K.K. Slider's repertoire in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Bubblegum K.K., as its name implies, is influenced by bubblegum pop; the Japanese name, Keke Idol, also indicates that it is styled after the music of Japanese idol groups. As such, the song has highly synthesized instrumentation and a funky, disco-inspired style. This arrangement also incorporates the main theme for New Leaf, and was rearranged by its original composer, Atsuko Asahi.

K.K. Slider's Performance

In addition to the tracks listed above, if a battle is held on Smashville or Town and City on Saturday between 8:00 p.m. and midnight, K.K. Slider will be present. He will randomly perform one of the following tracks, all shared with Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U:

  • K.K. Cruisin' (アーバンけけ, Urban Keke)
  • K.K. Western (けけウェスタン, Keke Western)
  • K.K. Gumbo (ニューオリンズそんぐ, New Orleans Song)
  • Rockin' K.K. (けけのロクンロール, Keke's Rock 'n Roll)
  • DJ K.K. (ユーロビート, Eurobeat)
  • K.K. Condor (ぺルーのうた, Song of Peru)

Origin

In the Animal Crossing games on Saturdays nights, K.K. Slider is present at the train station, the Roost, Club LOL, or Resident Services (depending on the game). Once spoken to, he sings a random song, or a specific song via requests. All of the tracks listed above are songs from the Animal Crossing series which K.K. Slider can sing, and are unaltered from their original appearances.

Trivia

  • Unlike the last two games, the K.K. Slider songs can be listened to in the Sound Test.
