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.

Returning from Brawl, this track is not merely a remix of the title screen theme from Animal Crossing: Wild World, but a whole medley of tracks from the game. This track includes the title screen theme, the Museum theme, the 3 p.m. theme, the Loan Paid Off jingle, the 6 a.m. theme, the Nook's Cranny theme, and the Town Hall theme before looping again. This song was rearranged by its original composer, Kazumi Totaka; it retains a very similar style to the original soundtrack, but with a more upbeat, techno-inspired touch.

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 mellow arrangement begins with the song from Animal Crossing: New Leaf that plays in the main town area between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. in clear or cloudy weather, then transitions to the song that plays on the town's Main Street once it has developed enough. The song was arranged by Manaka Kataoka, one of the composers of Animal Crossing: New Leaf and the original composer of Outdoors at 7 p.m. (Sunny). Compared to the original songs, the medley has very similar instrumentation with a faster tempo and a light, electronic drumbeat.

In the middle of the song, the "Look What I Found" jingle that plays when catching wildlife in New Leaf can be heard interspersed through the song.

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. Like the Go K.K. Rider! arrangement, it combines the style similar to that of the aircheck with K.K.'s vocals. As such, the song has highly synthesized instrumentation and a funky, disco-inspired style. This arrangement also incorporates the "DJ KK" remix of the song, as well as the main theme for New Leaf; it was rearranged by its original composer, Atsuko Asahi.
