Stale Cupcakes is my absolute favorite Animal Crossing song. It's so peaceful and calming. I have it playing in my ACNH bedroom (the music box version). When my son was a baby (about 2021) I would sometimes play the Aircheck hour long loop in the room where he slept and he seemed to like it a lot.
I just ordered stale cupcakes from Nook shopping (I check the selection daily in anticipation for my favourites) (those being bubblegum, bazaar and Ily) and I can't wait to listen to it tomorrow :)
seriously, im not super familiar w all of kk’s catalogue but as soon as i heard hypno kk i was like. oh this is the one that played in the creepypasta new leaf town. memory association is no joke
I use K.K. Choral at the memorial area on my island. I dedicated my island to my cat since he passed away the day after I got my switch and a couple days before I got New Horizons. I go to that area to reflect or calm down, and that song with the waterfalls surrounding it really does something to me that I can't explain. That made me all the angrier (/lh, of course) when Kitty autofilled two days before I could amiibo Bertha in and she was playing that song in her house.
It feels like it's trying to tell a story some hidden message that's what I love about it it's like there is something else beside the simple tune it has
12:45 K.K. Dirge "Dirge" is pronounced "durrge". A dirge is a poem or song made in memorial of a deceased person (funeral). Points for pronouncing Étude right! I'm a huge fan of all the Asian KK songs, so it was hilarious to see your reactions! And does anyone else think the cover of K.K. Robot Synth just screams "Vocaloid"? The blue hair just makes me think of Kaito. (Kaito K.K.? No?)
I have farewell playing on the pathway to a little memorial I made for my dog who passed, I thought it was fitting. Then at the memorial I Love You plays :) it's good for short thoughtful times. Some of my favorite KK songs are KK Ballad, Island, and Bossa! Steep Hill also goes so freaking hard.
24:37 the music is supposed to sound random, it's based on a brazilian genre of music called samba where you have to make quick leg movements to dance to it, as a brazilian i actually recognize biggening of the song as it's a part of one of the most popular samba songs!
I always put it on outdoor speakers somewhere around Halloween for the added atmosphere when the villagers sing along - cranky villagers go *so* low, it's almost unreal, 10/10
Lolly is a permanent villager in my town. She likes to wear her orange comedian outfit and sings I Love You for half the day. It's a favorite of my villagers so we kind of had to adopt it too. We have a room in one of our houses devoted to all the Easter items. We play KK Faire, which we have dubbed "The Egg Song"
K.K Cruisin', K.K Bossa, K.K. Bubblegum, and K.K Jongara each have a room in my house. K.K. Khoomei reminds me of traditional chinese music. The weird sounds you like actually mimics what traditional chinese singing sounds like
k.k. khoomei is actually inspired by traditional mongolian throat singing, so that's close ! it honestly sounds like it could be a song off of sung tongs by animal collective.
KK Bubblegum is overrated, HEAR ME OUT. Edit: I don't say I dislike the song, it's just that you just hear it pretty much EVERYWHERE in Animal Crossing. Also why'd you force your villagers to just sing it for thousands of hours? 🤷🏻♂️ There are so many songs that are so much better than Bubblegum.
the amount of clear cultural refferences is so lovely. its like K.K. travels around the world learning about each culture and their music and makes a song for each of em. also kk cruisin is LIT
What I usually do is have a music player near the plaza -- this time, it's a jukebox, but on past islands, it was a DJ booth -- and advance one song forward every day except 1) when the dog himself is there, the player goes off, and 2) K.K. Birthday is skipped unless it is, in fact, someone's birthday. A lot of the album art is based on real-world album art. Sadly, the Animal Crossing Wiki article on K.K. Break doesn't identify what its art is based on. Bubblegum K.K. is "Keke Aidoru", or "K.K. Idol", in the context of a singing idol. Hypno K.K.'s Japanese name means "Napping Dream". K.K. Casbah's name means "Turkish Song". K.K. Condor is called Perū no Uta (basically "Peruvian Song") in Japanese, so, yeah, South American. K.K Faire is Haisai Keke in Japanese; "Haisai" is how you say "Hello" in Okinawan, Okinawa being a part of Japan. Khoomei is a popular kind of Tuvan throat singing, and Tuva is a federal subject of Russia. K.K. Love Song's start makes me think of an old 1919 song (so a couple of decades older than my mother) called "Swanee". (Be warned, some performances you might find were done in blackface, so you may not feel comfortable viewing them, regardless of singer intent.) K.K. Lament is "Keke Enka". K.K. Marathon's identity was one of the more surprising ones out there. It turns out to be based on a traditional type of Indonesian music called gamelan. Rally, Ondo. More traditional Japanese music; can't begrudge them it, really. I like to use K.K. Soul as the music for the apparel shop facility. I think K.K. Sonata is what I used for my restaurant facility on a previous save, and when I get it again, I'll change what it currently is to it. (I like to make the restaurant fancy.) K.K. Synth is K.K.-tronica. Well, Mountain Song is "Alpine Song", so not just any mountains, but the Alps. If it helps, think of "Mr. K.K." as if K.K. Slider were your teacher, as the Japanese name is "Keke-sensei", "sensei" being a word encompassing a number of professions, but most universally known is "teacher". Note that the album art depicts the girls as wearing sailor uniforms, while the boys are in gakuran. If you've watched anime set in high school, especially a co-ed high school, you've seen both. Which is funny because you're mostly -- outside of a few bits of the list -- just serpentining your way down the list of songs as they appear in a full menu for a music player. If they were in writing order, maybe you could expect to see trends, but this is mostly four songs in alphabetical order, then four songs in reverse alphabetical order, next row forward, next row reverse, etc.. Stale Cupcakes is really "Blue Onigiri". It's like, what is this 4Kids-inspired localization, guys? There's nothing like a stale cupcake, I guess.
Hypno K.K. Is my favorite song. It sounds like that because it’s being played backwards. Normally a note has articulation at the beginning of it and ends much softer. Since hypno kk is backwards the articulation happens at the end of each note which gives it the creepy vibe.
it's definitely up there with the top. i think, composition-wise, steep hill, two days ago, k.k. sonata, k.k. moody, k.k. milonga, k.k. lament, agent k.k., k.k. bossa and bubblegum k.k. knock it out of the ball park.
K.K Folk is an absolute banger! But I can understand why you ranked it low. And KK Dirge is pronounced “Durge” it’s basically an old style of music that was intended for Funerals. Really sorrowful and depressing.
22:15 Keke rally is supposed to be the song that is played at a Japanese festival (matsuri) where people dance along to. 29:20 It is a graduation song. The original title is “Keke sensei”=Teacher Keke and the cover art is of a class picture tacked onto a bulletin board.
When my friends would play new leaf we would randomly play pondering and we would all spam the pondering reaction and try to run out of the house at the same time That’s why k.k’s music is great, it creates memories!
Have no idea if he knows this, but Go K.K. Rider does have other remixes and covers is Super Smash Bros Brawl and onward! The beginning is played by a bunch of trumpets
Go kk rider is probably a reference to the japanese tv show kamen rider which is about this guy whose kinda like the power rangers but in a bug-like suit and he can ride a motercycle
@@tobysinbad hmm I'm pretty sure some Farmers do both but he was trying to go into the specifics but yes you are correct know where I live there are both farmers and Ranchers and I'm pretty sure something else
@@missfloor I don't remember pretty sure it's just Farmers when it comes to both but specifically cattle I'm pretty sure they called him Ranchers but like the comment below you says some places do stuff like that without a ranch so farmers but I'm pretty sure there's another one I just can't remember its name right now or what it does
Mr. K.K IS a graduation song! the text under it on the cover reads "Keke Sensei" (Sensei being the word used to refer to your professors and teachers in japanese), and the characters surrounding him in the cover are all dressed in school uniforms. i think it's pretty cute! my favorite song is a tie between stale cupcakes and I Love You, they're both just so pretty to me! i also really love k.k synth's live version, and the music box version from new leaf was also very pretty
K.k. Bubblegum and I have a weird history. So around ten years ago. Back in the new leaf days. I streetlassed their girl in the streetpass plaza. This girl (I forgot the name of her) her name town was named créme. I walked into her house and it was really pink. Bubbly and cute. And bubblegum k.k. Was playing. Then I went downstairs and literally the most TERRIFYING pattern of this creepy EERIE face on the wall. And it was small and dark 😭. I literally was shaking at my 3ds. Went back upstairs and I haven’t seen bubblegum k.k. The same ever since
Stale cupcakes was the first song I ever purchased on animal crossing and it was my favorite for so long. I was new to the game and I didn’t understand it was a song so it was sitting in my storage for so long until I realized it can be played on a speaker. I just got it for the silly name
K.K. Synth is my favorite ac song, it doesnt sound as good in acnh, but with that old-school pixel sound, it sounds almost.. fleeting? its hard to explain
kk "robot synth" is called that, and also sounds like it'd have lyrics, because it's a reference to "vocal synth" music. it's basically a program that's a digital voice library. kk robot synth has that sound because lots of vocal synth music is usually electronic/j-pop inspired! also, the cover art for it is most likely a reference to hatsune miku, the most popular vocal synth mascot ever.
My favorite one is Robot Synth, and I really like Gumbo and Drivin’ as well. Also Clyde’s favorite though I forgot what it was called. Bubblegum is great too.
K.K. Soul is one of my favorites because it sounds like something you'd hear in a dating sim, which is one of my favorite genres of game. It's always the tune I choose for my house's bedroom. It's like when you've reached 3/5 hearts and now I'll think about kissing you but you have to lose to me in smash first.
29:26 funny story-my band director in high school’s first and last name both started with K, so we called him KK. Needless to say, getting mr kk back in 2017 made me laugh 😂
For the first time I noticed the Aries Rocking Chair in the K.K. Break cover. I personally love the Aloha song, I always think about it when I get stressed and it helps me to calm down again. But there are is so much good music in this game!
"Chorinho" is pronounced with the CH sounding like SH, like in "shovel". Also, the NH part sounds like the GN part from "lasagna". Soulful K.K. didn't deserve a 2 though...
The song "Steep Hill" has always spoken to me. One day, I heard it and cried. It wasn't sad, it was just so deep. I believe that it is the most meaningful, deepest, and most memorable K.K Slider song. It feels as though it's trying to convey a deep and meaningful message. If you haven't heard it all the way through yet, I suggest you do.
You break my heart. K.K. Condor deserves to be at least 8, personally 9 or 10. And K.K. Synth is one of my favorites, its just so chill (seriously, it was my music in my Ice Theme room in New Leaf). And then some of the ones you put above it, just twisted the knife.
Really fun idea for a video! I was shocked to see "Pondering" somehow escape a 1 or 2... that song is just mad unsettling to me. In a similar way to K.K Hypno (Which I am also shocked didn't get the absolute lowest rating lol) Great taste for the upper ranking songs tho
So glad he gave Forest Life a 10/10! I have been listening to this every day when I play Animal Crossing (whichever version I'm playing) for the past 15 years. It's the only song for me. 😄
K.K. Dirge and Hypno K.K. are creepy songs. But I think Dirge is the creeper one because of the lower and more muffed sound. Muffed audio sounds a lot creeper than more clear audio.
Stale Cupcakes is my absolute favorite. It reminds me of the soft tracks from Super Mario Galaxy Close second would definitely be K. K. Robot Synth. Cuz VOCALOID, y'all shut up
So about Steep Hill. I was playing the HHP DLC and Shari was there. I kinda love Shari so I decided to give her a vacation home. Well one of her items is the flower record player and Steep Hill is the song playing. I’ve never been so immediately drawn in by an Animal Crossing song. It’s my favorite song from the entire franchise, it’s so amazing.
3:24 I like the music box version of it. 3:34 One of the best songs along with Ballad, feels like “shopping mall” music. 8:52 This sounds so nostalgic, similar to the Wii music. 9:18 Classic. 13:49 Yees 17:54 I love this as well 18:51 Another classic. 23:21 I like it 26:52 Could easily replace the hourly music 28:57 They should had kept it instead of replacing it. 31:37 I agree. 33:05 Good song and a bit sad.
K.K. "Chorinho" is pronounced shorrinho (nho is very difficult to pronounce but is similar to ño) and is based on the brazillian music genre of the same name, not as popular in other countries as Bossa Nova and Samba but still very neat!!
As much as I like K.K. Folk, it's actually Lucky K.K. that's written in the style of a traditional folk tune. It's got the A part B part structure you typically see and in general does a great job of representing trad folk tunes, but it's not the one with folk in the name for some reason.
my favourite k.k. songs are as follows: agent k.k., k.k. aria, k.k. ballad, k.k. chorinho, k.k. hop, k.k. house, k.k. lament, k.k. waltz, steep hill and two days ago. out of all these, my all time faves (i can't pick out) are agent k.k., k.k. chorinho, k.k. hop, k.k. lament and two days ago. i LOVE how k.k. chorinho got the attention it deserved. out of all the new songs, it seems to be the most underrated one. it is SUCH. a banger. i love the guitar at the beginning, and then how they key changes (i am a SLUT for minor-to-major key changes, they hit some spot in my brain). i love the latin/spanish-inspired ones in general- k.k. mambo, k.k. samba, k.k. tango, k.k. flamenco, k.k. moody, k.k. milonga, k.k. condor, with exception of mariachi, i don't hate it, i just feel like they could've gotten a lot more creative with it. and k.k. samba gets bonus points for leaning in heavy on the cuíca- one if my favourite instruments.
Hypno kk sounds like the strange but cool but weeird Adventure Time background music. Kk forest made me tear up a little from the nostalgia haha. KK Rider is legit. Sometimes I play its Smash Bros version when I drive, haha. KK Ballad still plays in my sisters house on our original Gamecube village. I have KK Condor in my house. The cover of KK Condor has the Nazca Lines which is a South American giant geoglyph. The cover art of KK Break reminds me of Funkadelic album art. KK Faire cracks me up. I like kk Groove a lot. Kk parade honestly i love it. I play polka when im in a weird Al mood. Everybody polkamon! Kk Western is one of my very favorites, haha. Two Days Ago and Only Me are good. Surfin kk was the one my mom put in her house. To The Edge my sis and I joked was someone farting and casually whistling it away
Pronunciation notes: Dirge is “duhrj” Étude was pronounced pretty well Dear god what did you do to KK Jongara Hazure is Japanese for “miss” or “failure” and is pronounced “hah-zoo-rei”, and there’s 3 total it seems. Anyways I did want to mention that K.K. Robot Synth’s artwork says “Kekeroido” in Japanese which is probably a portmanteau of K.K. (Keke-) and “vocaloid” (-roido). Mr. K.K. actually IS a school related song, as the album depicts a school photo and the text says Keke-sensei.
K.K. Bashment is the clear winner for me. It goes with everything and is just a vibe. I *think* it was a post NH release song so I don't think it's gotten its time to shine yet. I'm offended at the Safari rating though. 😂 That was my favorite in the GC days. I like it a little less since but it's still like an 8/10 for me.
Kk salsa was in my living room in new leaf for a long time. I put it on my beach in new horizon but then changed it to kk mariachi, but kk salsa has a special place in my heart, same for steep hill.
6:00 The song is a parody of Let's Go!! Rider Kick from the Kamen Rider franchise, you can go listen to the Shin Kamen Rider ver if you want a grand giant orchestra ver.
Mr. KK probably sounds like a “graduation tune” because it’s supposed to be like KK as a teacher. That’s why the cover art is them in school uniforms. At least I’m assuming. I have no proof aside from the fact that it says KK Sensei on the lil pink strip on the album cover.
Honestly the fact that dirge plays in the ganon amiibo villager’s house sorta wraps it back around to being charming. With the goofy but still scary chanting it’s the perfect villain theme for an all powerful lord of darkness trapped inside a grumpy chibi pig body.
Kk bossa is actually the only kk song ever given lyrics, it was used in the
anime.
it sounds like castaways lol
kk bubblegum has lyrics too, you can look them up on google
@@poloqbear5356it’s actually because the song castaways and the song kk bossa are the same genre of music, bossa nova :3
doesn’t bubblegum have lyric
@@NotRealChatGPT yea, but they were fanmade
Stale Cupcakes is my absolute favorite Animal Crossing song. It's so peaceful and calming. I have it playing in my ACNH bedroom (the music box version). When my son was a baby (about 2021) I would sometimes play the Aircheck hour long loop in the room where he slept and he seemed to like it a lot.
I just ordered stale cupcakes from Nook shopping (I check the selection daily in anticipation for my favourites) (those being bubblegum, bazaar and Ily) and I can't wait to listen to it tomorrow :)
stale cupcakes but put through the shell music box... the most beautiful thing i've ever heard
My main "problem" with hypno k.k. is mainly the fact that it reminds me too much of new leaf's aika village haha
It's so unsettling almost purely because of Aika lol
seriously, im not super familiar w all of kk’s catalogue but as soon as i heard hypno kk i was like. oh this is the one that played in the creepypasta new leaf town. memory association is no joke
SOO REALLL
same. i say i don’t like it but i’m obsessed with listening to it
KK Hypno sounds like it's trying to hypnotise me.
So happy to see K.K. Disco get the flowers it deserves! I always have it playing on my island because it evokes so much joy
KK Disco is my fave track along with Steep Hill. I love the lullaby versions on the clam music player too
I use K.K. Choral at the memorial area on my island. I dedicated my island to my cat since he passed away the day after I got my switch and a couple days before I got New Horizons. I go to that area to reflect or calm down, and that song with the waterfalls surrounding it really does something to me that I can't explain. That made me all the angrier (/lh, of course) when Kitty autofilled two days before I could amiibo Bertha in and she was playing that song in her house.
It is such a good music for that kind of scenario! I personally like the melody. Sounds classical ❤
Im sorry for your loss, i also lost my cat a while ago. I love this song too! Its so fancy!
Okay, Steep Hill got the appreciation it deserves. That's all I i needed to know.
Fr. Underrated song
It's probably my favorite in the game.
It feels like it's trying to tell a story some hidden message that's what I love about it it's like there is something else beside the simple tune it has
All i came for honestly, steep hill stan since 7 years old
Yep. I was gonna judge the entire video based on the score he gave Steep Hill and he had the right opinion there
12:45 K.K. Dirge
"Dirge" is pronounced "durrge". A dirge is a poem or song made in memorial of a deceased person (funeral).
Points for pronouncing Étude right!
I'm a huge fan of all the Asian KK songs, so it was hilarious to see your reactions!
And does anyone else think the cover of K.K. Robot Synth just screams "Vocaloid"? The blue hair just makes me think of Kaito. (Kaito K.K.? No?)
i've always thought he looks like he's cosplaying kaito lol
Reminds me more of Miku!
The Japanese version is named K. K. Roid, so 😉
@@RenegadeRaiden That's amazing!
I have an addiction to Splatoon so whenever I here the word dirge I think of deluge dirge 🥲
KK robot synth is most definitely based around Vocaloid and Hatsune Miku. Even the cover gives homage to it.
the Japanese name is even Keke-Loid!!
@@LuigiOdysseyREAL gtfo really?!
True😂 one of my favorite songs tho
the cover is actually very close to a different vocaloid, kaito (though kaito and miku are both from the same company!)
@@AmySayi also heard that the microphone kk slider holds is similar to MEIKO’s
I have farewell playing on the pathway to a little memorial I made for my dog who passed, I thought it was fitting. Then at the memorial I Love You plays :) it's good for short thoughtful times.
Some of my favorite KK songs are KK Ballad, Island, and Bossa! Steep Hill also goes so freaking hard.
yall kk lovers is underrated, i love that song.
100% agreed. Should've been way higher
You get it.
SO TRUE. The live version is my favorite and it just sounds so nostalgic
K.k. Lovers is MY FAVVV!!! that’s why I have it playing in my camping area
I used to love KK Cruisin’ so much that I found a few remixes of it and wow, some people really make incredible remixes of songs from really any game
K.K. Crusin goes SO HARD. Hands down my favourite animal crossing song
Agreed omg
24:37 the music is supposed to sound random, it's based on a brazilian genre of music called samba where you have to make quick leg movements to dance to it, as a brazilian i actually recognize biggening of the song as it's a part of one of the most popular samba songs!
You comitted so much crimes here and I didn't even finish watching
Your ranking of KK Dirge at that low is criminal. I would definitely play that in my house for my friends
I always put it on outdoor speakers somewhere around Halloween for the added atmosphere when the villagers sing along - cranky villagers go *so* low, it's almost unreal, 10/10
Kk dirge is just a banger
This KK Faire slander will NOT be tolerated. Its meant to be based off traditional Okinawan Japanese music.
I love K.K. Faire ❤😊🎉 x, it's my favourite one.
I don't know how many people here played this game but KK Condor reminds me SO MUCH of the songs you had to play as Link in TLOZ Spirit Tracks!
For me a few of the Spirit tracks songs reminded me of KK Condor, since I played AC way before haha
OH MY GOD YOURE RIGHT THATS WHY I LOVE IT SO MUCHH
Lolly is a permanent villager in my town. She likes to wear her orange comedian outfit and sings I Love You for half the day. It's a favorite of my villagers so we kind of had to adopt it too.

k.k. khoomei is actually inspired by traditional mongolian throat singing, so that's close ! it honestly sounds like it could be a song off of sung tongs by animal collective.
@gargoylegutz I thought it was Mongolian throat singing but when I looked it up it was deeper than that. So I wasn't sure
@@pandaninja_19 well khöömei is the throat singing, it *is* more than that, but that's the genre of the throat singing itself.
KK Bubblegum is overrated, HEAR ME OUT.
Edit: I don't say I dislike the song, it's just that you just hear it pretty much EVERYWHERE in Animal Crossing. Also why'd you force your villagers to just sing it for thousands of hours? 🤷🏻♂️ There are so many songs that are so much better than Bubblegum.
Feel you.
honestly i like it for my froggy chair storage room, but otherwise it is fairly overrated.
The most overrated track
i adore it but people have overplayed it
YES!
the amount of clear cultural refferences is so lovely. its like K.K. travels around the world learning about each culture and their music and makes a song for each of em.
also kk cruisin is LIT
What I usually do is have a music player near the plaza -- this time, it's a jukebox, but on past islands, it was a DJ booth -- and advance one song forward every day except 1) when the dog himself is there, the player goes off, and 2) K.K. Birthday is skipped unless it is, in fact, someone's birthday.
A lot of the album art is based on real-world album art. Sadly, the Animal Crossing Wiki article on K.K. Break doesn't identify what its art is based on.
Bubblegum K.K. is "Keke Aidoru", or "K.K. Idol", in the context of a singing idol.
Hypno K.K.'s Japanese name means "Napping Dream".
K.K. Casbah's name means "Turkish Song".
K.K. Condor is called Perū no Uta (basically "Peruvian Song") in Japanese, so, yeah, South American.
K.K Faire is Haisai Keke in Japanese; "Haisai" is how you say "Hello" in Okinawan, Okinawa being a part of Japan.
Khoomei is a popular kind of Tuvan throat singing, and Tuva is a federal subject of Russia.
K.K. Love Song's start makes me think of an old 1919 song (so a couple of decades older than my mother) called "Swanee". (Be warned, some performances you might find were done in blackface, so you may not feel comfortable viewing them, regardless of singer intent.)
K.K. Lament is "Keke Enka".
K.K. Marathon's identity was one of the more surprising ones out there. It turns out to be based on a traditional type of Indonesian music called gamelan.
Rally, Ondo. More traditional Japanese music; can't begrudge them it, really.
I like to use K.K. Soul as the music for the apparel shop facility.
I think K.K. Sonata is what I used for my restaurant facility on a previous save, and when I get it again, I'll change what it currently is to it. (I like to make the restaurant fancy.)
K.K. Synth is K.K.-tronica.
Well, Mountain Song is "Alpine Song", so not just any mountains, but the Alps.
If it helps, think of "Mr. K.K." as if K.K. Slider were your teacher, as the Japanese name is "Keke-sensei", "sensei" being a word encompassing a number of professions, but most universally known is "teacher". Note that the album art depicts the girls as wearing sailor uniforms, while the boys are in gakuran. If you've watched anime set in high school, especially a co-ed high school, you've seen both.
Which is funny because you're mostly -- outside of a few bits of the list -- just serpentining your way down the list of songs as they appear in a full menu for a music player. If they were in writing order, maybe you could expect to see trends, but this is mostly four songs in alphabetical order, then four songs in reverse alphabetical order, next row forward, next row reverse, etc..
Stale Cupcakes is really "Blue Onigiri". It's like, what is this 4Kids-inspired localization, guys? There's nothing like a stale cupcake, I guess.

Could you rate all Hourly soundtracks?
We all knows it’s 5PM from New Horizons ;)
Probably my favorite thing about New Horizons actually 😅
nice pfp😼
K.K. Soul is my favorite song. But I think objectively, Steep Hill is the best one of all. It's a total masterpeace.
it's definitely up there with the top. i think, composition-wise, steep hill, two days ago, k.k. sonata, k.k. moody, k.k. milonga, k.k. lament, agent k.k., k.k. bossa and bubblegum k.k. knock it out of the ball park.
K.K Folk is an absolute banger! But I can understand why you ranked it low.
And KK Dirge is pronounced “Durge” it’s basically an old style of music that was intended for Funerals. Really sorrowful and depressing.
22:15 Keke rally is supposed to be the song that is played at a Japanese festival (matsuri) where people dance along to.

That’s why k.k’s music is great, it creates memories!
The little videos you're using to illustrate the vibe are so funny
When your favorite song gets a 5/10 but then your second favorite gets 10/10. 😂
Samee but my fav got 7
my favorite got 8 and my other favorite got 5. kinda surprising because i thought the one that got a 5 was much more liked 😭😭
K.K. Moody 😭😭😭😭
Have no idea if he knows this, but Go K.K. Rider does have other remixes and covers is Super Smash Bros Brawl and onward! The beginning is played by a bunch of trumpets
Was about to say the same thing!
Doesn’t judge music on cover art:
Proceeds to give a song a 9 based on cover art.
i really liked the little clips you put with each song, fun references or just really funny haha great job!!
King KK, in my opinion, is very underrated. The whooshes and hints of Tom Nook’s town tune really give off a great vibe.
Go kk rider is probably a reference to the japanese tv show kamen rider which is about this guy whose kinda like the power rangers but in a bug-like suit and he can ride a motercycle
10:51 just so you know farmers are the ones that deal with plants
Ranchers I'm pretty sure are the one's that deal with cattle
but then who deals with cattle and plants.
@@tobysinbad hmm I'm pretty sure some Farmers do both but he was trying to go into the specifics but yes you are correct know where I live there are both farmers and Ranchers and I'm pretty sure something else
@@missfloor I don't remember pretty sure it's just Farmers when it comes to both but specifically cattle I'm pretty sure they called him Ranchers but like the comment below you says some places do stuff like that without a ranch so farmers but I'm pretty sure there's another one I just can't remember its name right now or what it does
Mr. K.K IS a graduation song! the text under it on the cover reads "Keke Sensei" (Sensei being the word used to refer to your professors and teachers in japanese), and the characters surrounding him in the cover are all dressed in school uniforms. i think it's pretty cute!
my favorite song is a tie between stale cupcakes and I Love You, they're both just so pretty to me! i also really love k.k synth's live version, and the music box version from new leaf was also very pretty
KK Slider songs are like Pokemon: each one is *somebody’s* favourite.
K.k. Bubblegum and I have a weird history.
So around ten years ago. Back in the new leaf days. I streetlassed their girl in the streetpass plaza. This girl (I forgot the name of her) her name town was named créme.
I walked into her house and it was really pink. Bubbly and cute. And bubblegum k.k. Was playing.
Then I went downstairs and literally the most TERRIFYING pattern of this creepy EERIE face on the wall. And it was small and dark 😭. I literally was shaking at my 3ds. Went back upstairs and I haven’t seen bubblegum k.k. The same ever since
holy moly dude
Stale cupcakes was the first song I ever purchased on animal crossing and it was my favorite for so long. I was new to the game and I didn’t understand it was a song so it was sitting in my storage for so long until I realized it can be played on a speaker. I just got it for the silly name
K.K. Synth is my favorite ac song, it doesnt sound as good in acnh, but with that old-school pixel sound, it sounds almost.. fleeting? its hard to explain
28:25 I was confused on why K.K. Tango was skipped.
it gets a 9/10 for me if that's any consolation 😭
kk "robot synth" is called that, and also sounds like it'd have lyrics, because it's a reference to "vocal synth" music. it's basically a program that's a digital voice library. kk robot synth has that sound because lots of vocal synth music is usually electronic/j-pop inspired! also, the cover art for it is most likely a reference to hatsune miku, the most popular vocal synth mascot ever.
My favorite one is Robot Synth, and I really like Gumbo and Drivin’ as well. Also Clyde’s favorite though I forgot what it was called. Bubblegum is great too.
Because of the animated movie K.K. Bossa is definitely my favorite
Having your birthday in lockdown gives kk birthday 10/10 for life
35:44 ahh yes, my favourite K.K. Slider song, K.K. deer gay
K.K. Soul is one of my favorites because it sounds like something you'd hear in a dating sim, which is one of my favorite genres of game. It's always the tune I choose for my house's bedroom. It's like when you've reached 3/5 hearts and now I'll think about kissing you but you have to lose to me in smash first.
Sigh, KK Hypno is so underrated… 😞
Ikr I love hypno kk :(
It's Lavander Town ❤
29:26 funny story-my band director in high school’s first and last name both started with K, so we called him KK.
Needless to say, getting mr kk back in 2017 made me laugh 😂
For the first time I noticed the Aries Rocking Chair in the K.K. Break cover. I personally love the Aloha song, I always think about it when I get stressed and it helps me to calm down again. But there are is so much good music in this game!
I’ll never forgive you for that Drivin score literally one of the best kk songs and it’s beautiful in every way
"Chorinho" is pronounced with the CH sounding like SH, like in "shovel".
Also, the NH part sounds like the GN part from "lasagna".
Soulful K.K. didn't deserve a 2 though...
Stale cupcakes has my heart when played on a music box ❤
I prefer he vocal version, but the music box version is my second favorite KK SLider song.
K.K. Stroll holds a special place in my heart since nowadays it brings me nostalgia of me playing New Leaf
The song "Steep Hill" has always spoken to me. One day, I heard it and cried. It wasn't sad, it was just so deep. I believe that it is the most meaningful, deepest, and most memorable K.K Slider song. It feels as though it's trying to convey a deep and meaningful message. If you haven't heard it all the way through yet, I suggest you do.
You break my heart.
K.K. Condor deserves to be at least 8, personally 9 or 10.
And K.K. Synth is one of my favorites, its just so chill (seriously, it was my music in my Ice Theme room in New Leaf). And then some of the ones you put above it, just twisted the knife.
Condor is like a 6 at best, Elijah was generous.
kk bazaar holds a special place in my heart as the first kk song i got
K.K. Western is soooo good to me!!! I love hearing my villagers sing to it lol. Has to be my favorite K.K. song!!! ❤❤❤
K.K. Disco just gives off good vibes
dead wrong abt K.K. Folk that song SLAPS
EDIT: AND K.K. SAFARI???? your taste is garbo those songs are some of the best 😭
REAL💔💔💔 SO MANY INCREDIBLE SONGS WERE PUT SO LOW (MOSTLY ETHNIC SONGS TOO SOBBB)
This helped me pick out some songs for my tropical themed restaurant. Thanks!
Damn KK Folk was done dirty 🥺
Really fun idea for a video! I was shocked to see "Pondering" somehow escape a 1 or 2... that song is just mad unsettling to me. In a similar way to K.K Hypno (Which I am also shocked didn't get the absolute lowest rating lol) Great taste for the upper ranking songs tho
I was genuinely mad when you rated K.K. Cruisin a 9/10.
imo it's pretty good but i'd probably give it a 7 or 8
Gotta hand it to KK, man's not afraid to try out every single genre of music out there
So glad he gave Forest Life a 10/10! I have been listening to this every day when I play Animal Crossing (whichever version I'm playing) for the past 15 years. It's the only song for me. 😄
My top 3 is:
1: K.K. Groove
2: K.K. Rock
3: K.K. Country
Love the video Elijah
K.K. Dirge and Hypno K.K. are creepy songs. But I think Dirge is the creeper one because of the lower and more muffed sound. Muffed audio sounds a lot creeper than more clear audio.
Stale Cupcakes is my absolute favorite. It reminds me of the soft tracks from Super Mario Galaxy
Close second would definitely be K. K. Robot Synth. Cuz VOCALOID, y'all shut up
FRFR K.K SLIDER = KAITO SLIDER NOW
So about Steep Hill. I was playing the HHP DLC and Shari was there. I kinda love Shari so I decided to give her a vacation home. Well one of her items is the flower record player and Steep Hill is the song playing. I’ve never been so immediately drawn in by an Animal Crossing song. It’s my favorite song from the entire franchise, it’s so amazing.
K.K. Bashment is my favorite track, it's so good
3:24 I like the music box version of it.
3:34 One of the best songs along with Ballad, feels like “shopping mall” music.
8:52 This sounds so nostalgic, similar to the Wii music.
9:18 Classic.
13:49 Yees
17:54 I love this as well
18:51 Another classic.
23:21 I like it
26:52 Could easily replace the hourly music
28:57 They should had kept it instead of replacing it.
31:37 I agree.
33:05 Good song and a bit sad.
Welcome horizons will forever hold a special place forever...when that title drops...man
Have you ever heard of Clay K. Slider? He makes real songs in K.K. songs
K.K. "Chorinho" is pronounced shorrinho (nho is very difficult to pronounce but is similar to ño) and is based on the brazillian music genre of the same name, not as popular in other countries as Bossa Nova and Samba but still very neat!!
If kk lovers (live) isnt rated high i will RIOT
I AM DISAPPOINTED AND MY DAY IS RUINED
As much as I like K.K. Folk, it's actually Lucky K.K. that's written in the style of a traditional folk tune. It's got the A part B part structure you typically see and in general does a great job of representing trad folk tunes, but it's not the one with folk in the name for some reason.
With all due respect, your opinion is wrong for KK balled. That shit is 10/10
I love stale cupcakes! I got it from my favorite villager, Aurora, so it is a really special song😊
You should rate every villager next
ProZD did a tier list video with all 391 villagers, if you haven't seen it! It was pretty good, I had fun with it.
K.K lullaby has a weird reversed part in it, i don't know why.
my favourite k.k. songs are as follows: agent k.k., k.k. aria, k.k. ballad, k.k. chorinho, k.k. hop, k.k. house, k.k. lament, k.k. waltz, steep hill and two days ago. out of all these, my all time faves (i can't pick out) are agent k.k., k.k. chorinho, k.k. hop, k.k. lament and two days ago. i LOVE how k.k. chorinho got the attention it deserved. out of all the new songs, it seems to be the most underrated one. it is SUCH. a banger. i love the guitar at the beginning, and then how they key changes (i am a SLUT for minor-to-major key changes, they hit some spot in my brain). i love the latin/spanish-inspired ones in general- k.k. mambo, k.k. samba, k.k. tango, k.k. flamenco, k.k. moody, k.k. milonga, k.k. condor, with exception of mariachi, i don't hate it, i just feel like they could've gotten a lot more creative with it. and k.k. samba gets bonus points for leaning in heavy on the cuíca- one if my favourite instruments.
Hypno kk sounds like the strange but cool but weeird Adventure Time background music.
Kk forest made me tear up a little from the nostalgia haha.
KK Rider is legit. Sometimes I play its Smash Bros version when I drive, haha. KK Ballad still plays in my sisters house on our original Gamecube village. I have KK Condor in my house. The cover of KK Condor has the Nazca Lines which is a South American giant geoglyph.
The cover art of KK Break reminds me of Funkadelic album art. KK Faire cracks me up. I like kk Groove a lot.
Kk parade honestly i love it. I play polka when im in a weird Al mood. Everybody polkamon!
Kk Western is one of my very favorites, haha. Two Days Ago and Only Me are good. Surfin kk was the one my mom put in her house. To The Edge my sis and I joked was someone farting and casually whistling it away
Pronunciation notes:
Dirge is “duhrj”
Étude was pronounced pretty well
Dear god what did you do to KK Jongara
Hazure is Japanese for “miss” or “failure” and is pronounced “hah-zoo-rei”, and there’s 3 total it seems.
Anyways I did want to mention that K.K. Robot Synth’s artwork says “Kekeroido” in Japanese which is probably a portmanteau of K.K. (Keke-) and “vocaloid” (-roido).
Mr. K.K. actually IS a school related song, as the album depicts a school photo and the text says Keke-sensei.
K.K. Bashment is the clear winner for me. It goes with everything and is just a vibe. I *think* it was a post NH release song so I don't think it's gotten its time to shine yet.
I'm offended at the Safari rating though. 😂 That was my favorite in the GC days. I like it a little less since but it's still like an 8/10 for me.
K.K. Bashment is SO slept on
The secret song played at the End of the video is my favorite K K song.
Kk salsa was in my living room in new leaf for a long time. I put it on my beach in new horizon but then changed it to kk mariachi, but kk salsa has a special place in my heart, same for steep hill.
6:00 The song is a parody of Let's Go!! Rider Kick from the Kamen Rider franchise, you can go listen to the Shin Kamen Rider ver if you want a grand giant orchestra ver.
26:49my favorite of all time 😍
Mr. KK probably sounds like a “graduation tune” because it’s supposed to be like KK as a teacher. That’s why the cover art is them in school uniforms. At least I’m assuming. I have no proof aside from the fact that it says KK Sensei on the lil pink strip on the album cover.
Agent K.K. is the most underrated K.K. song by far.
Mr K.K. is 100% a graduation song and nothing will change my mind. 10/10 job ranking it.
kk rider was one of my favs in new leaf, so nostalgic
Honestly the fact that dirge plays in the ganon amiibo villager’s house sorta wraps it back around to being charming. With the goofy but still scary chanting it’s the perfect villain theme for an all powerful lord of darkness trapped inside a grumpy chibi pig body.
marine song 2001 is my favorite kk song. no idea why i love it so much.
That weird sensual frog album cover🤣😭 I had never seen that before😭
K.K Cruisin’ was one of the first songs I got so it’s been playing on my island since I first got the game
K.K. Jongara is my absolute favorite K.K. song٫ could listen to all day.
I INSTANTLY searched for Steephill on this video, and Glad you put some respect on it. although I go 11/10 also the metal cover is worth a search
