"'''Comrade K.K.'''" is a [[K.K. Slider]] [[List of K.K. Slider songs|song]] in the {{SER}} that first appeared in {{DnM}}. The song is reminiscent of traditional Russian folk music and especially {{Wp|Bard (Soviet Union)|bard music}}, a genre that was common among amateur musicians in the former {{Wp|Soviet Union}}. This is reflected in the song's title, with ''comrade'' being commonly associated with communism and Russian speakers. The song's Japanese name and album art refer to ''{{Wp|ryūkōka}}'', or early {{Wp|Shōwa (1926–1989)|Shōwa-era}} popular music in Japanese, which is also heavily influenced by European folk music and known for the heavy use of the accordion.

The song's album cover features K.K. Slider with hair, glasses, and a suit, a possible reference to the iconic ''{{Wp|ryūkōka}}'' singer, {{Wp|Tarō Shōji}}. In {{NL|short}}, K.K.'s portrait is against a gray and beige background with writing, akin to a classic Japanese record. In {{NH|short}}, K.K.'s portrait is against a purple background. The {{NH|short|nolink}} cover reads "けけ歌謡" (''Keke Kayō'') in kanji meaning "K.K. Ballad," short for the song's Japanese name "しょうわけけかよう" (''Shōwa Keke Kayō'') or "Shōwa-era K.K. Ballad."

The album cover for "Comrade K.K.", originally used for its Japanese [[e-Reader card]], features K.K. Slider with hair, glasses, and a suit. In {{NL|short|nolink}}, K.K.'s portrait is against a gray and beige background with writing, akin to a classic Japanese record. In {{NH|short|nolink}}, K.K.'s portrait is against a purple background, resembling pop art from the early 20th century. The {{NH|short|nolink}} cover reads "けけ歌謡" (''Keke Kayō'') in kanji, meaning "K.K. Ballad"; this is derived from the song's Japanese name, "しょうわけけかよう" (''Shōwa Keke Kayō''), or "Shōwa-era K.K. Ballad."
  
The song's North American [[e-Reader card]] artwork features [[Weber]], [[Iggy]], [[Rolf]], [[Lobo]], and K.K. Slider; they appear to wear buttoned-up ''ushanka'' style hats (a hat popularized in the Soviet-era) and performing Russian folk dance, with a building resembling {{Wp|Saint Basil's Cathedral}} appearing in the background. The Japanese e-Reader card artwork instead features the image later used for its {{NL|short|nolink}} album cover.
+
K.K.'s appearance on the album cover may be a reference to the iconic ''ryūkōka'' singer {{Wp|Taro Shoji|Tarō Shōji}}, who wore similar rounded glasses. Shōji was a prominent leftist figure who studied Marxist economics, which fits with the connotations of the title "Comrade K.K." K.K.'s appearance may also be a reference to Soviet-era Russian composer {{Wp|Dmitri Shostakovich}}, which relates to the Russian folk style of the song and the Japanese song title.

"Comrade K.K." is a K.K. Slider song in the Animal Crossing series that first appeared in Doubutsu no Mori. The song is based upon ryūkōka, or early Shōwa-era popular music in Japanese. Ryūkōka combines aspects of Japanese and western folk music. The live version in particular resembles bard music, a genre that was common among amateur musicians in the former Soviet Union.

The Japanese title (Shōwa Keke Kayō, or "Shōwa-era K.K. Ballad") and album art reflect the influence of ryūkōka, while the English song title reflects the influence of bard music; the term comrade is commonly associated with Soviet Russia and communist politics.

Album cover[edit]

Album cover in Animal Crossing: New Leaf

The album cover for "Comrade K.K.", originally used for its Japanese e-Reader card, features K.K. Slider with hair, glasses, and a suit. In New Leaf, K.K.'s portrait is against a gray and beige background with writing, akin to a classic Japanese record. In New Horizons, K.K.'s portrait is against a purple background, resembling pop art from the early 20th century. The New Horizons cover reads "けけ歌謡" (Keke Kayō) in kanji, meaning "K.K. Ballad"; this is derived from the song's Japanese name, "しょうわけけかよう" (Shōwa Keke Kayō), or "Shōwa-era K.K. Ballad."

K.K.'s appearance on the album cover may be a reference to the iconic ryūkōka singer Tarō Shōji, who wore similar rounded glasses. Shōji was a prominent leftist figure who studied Marxist economics, which fits with the connotations of the title "Comrade K.K." K.K.'s appearance may also be a reference to Soviet-era Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, which relates to the Russian folk style of the song and the Japanese song title.

The song's North American e-Reader card artwork is unique, and has a more overt Russian theme. It features Weber, Iggy, Rolf, Lobo, and K.K. Slider; they are wearing buttoned-up ushanka-style hats (popularized in the Soviet era) and performing a Russian folk dance, in front of a building resembling Saint Basil's Cathedral.
