"K.K. Bossa" is a K.K. Slider song that first appears in Doubutsu no Mori. It is a slow, light jazzy tune that is based on the Brazilian music genre called bossa nova, or simply shortened to "bossa." It bears some resemblance to the popular bossa nova song "The Girl from Ipanema."
"K.K. Bossa" is strongly featured in the film 🎬 Gekijōban Doubutsu no Mori — receiving an orchestral cover as well as a live cover with lyrics, the only other song with official lyrics being "Marine Song 2001".
Album cover[edit]
The album cover for "K.K. Bossa" features K.K. Slider playing his guitar. The background features the "wave" sidewalk design found in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, and Frank, an eagle based on the Brazilian yellow-faced parrot, appears on K.K.'s shoulder. In New Leaf, the text at the bottom right of the cover reads "BOSSA." In New Horizons, the text reads the title of the song, "K.K. BOSSA."

| 大波 小波 さざ波 Ke・Ke・Ke 流れ着いたのは なに? 浜辺でみつけた贈り物 それは扉を開ける カギかもね... 扉の 向こうは 楽しい 風ばかりじゃない だけども しあわせのスウィーツ それさえ あれば なんとかなるもんだよ 大波 小波 さざ波 Ke・Ke・Ke 流れ着いたのは なに? 浜辺でみつけた贈り物 君が呼んだもの かもしれないね |
Onami sazanami sazanami Ke, ke, ke Nagaretsuita no wa nani? Hamabe de mitsuketa okurimono Sore wa tobira o akeru kagi kamo ne... Tobira no mukō wa tanoshī Kaze bakari janai dakedomo shiawase no suuītsu Sore sae areba nantoka naru monda yo Onami sazanami sazanami Ke, ke, ke Nagaretsuita no wa nani? Hamabe de mitsuketa okurimono Kimi ga yonda mono kamo shirenai ne |
A wave, a splash, a ripple Ke, ke, ke At the shore's end, what shall there be? A gift found on the beach This is the key to open the door... Beyond the door a pleasant time waits Not just the wind but also sweets of happiness As long as you have those it'll all be okay A wave, a splash, a ripple Ke, ke, ke At the shore's end, what shall there be? A gift found on the beach It might be calling out to you |
