Slider]] has a handful of '''secret songs''' that can only be obtained by request; he will not play them randomly, only if they are given to him by name. They are still part of his [[List of K.K. Slider songs|setlist]], meaning that obtaining them is necessary for completing the [[catalog]]. The intended way to obtain these songs is to hear about them from other [[player]]s; additionally, [[villager]]s may have them playing in their homes, and will occasionally tell the player about them. When a secret song is requested, K.K. will express surprise before playing it. After this, he will give the player a bootleg recording, as with standard songs. Each game typically introduces three secret songs. |
− | + | Additionally, certain songs cannot be obtained at all, only being heard when the player requests a song that is not available in K.K.'s setlist. They're most commonly found when misspelling a genuine song's name, such as "K.K. Cruising" rather than "[[K.K. Cruisin']]". After hearing one of these songs, K.K. will say that it was "not [his] bag", and he simply improvised a tune on the spot; therefore, he doesn't give the player a bootleg. In each game, there are three of these "not my bag" songs (known internally as '''はずれ''' ''hazure'', meaning "miss" or "failure"), and they become properly obtainable secret songs in the following installment. | |
