"K.K. Faire" is a K.K. Slider song that first appears in Doubutsu no Mori. It is based upon traditional Okinawan folk music from the Ryukyu Islands. The instruments include the sanshin (a banjo-like instrument), as well as the voice of an elderly man singing lead (K.K. Slider's vocal parts), with occasional cheerful chants (the high wind instrument) that are often heard in traditional-style dances at festivals.

The song's composition is extremely similar to the Okinawan folk song "Tancha Mebushi" in specific. The Japanese name and album cover may also be a reference to "Haisai Ojisan" by Shoukichi Kina and his band Champloose.

Slider playing sanshin with Cheri (June in the Animal Crossing e-Reader card) and Truffles dancing in the background while dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. In the Animal Crossing e-Reader card, the title of the song at the top position reads "K.K. Faire." There is no text in New Leaf cover, but in New Horizons, the text reads the Japanese title of the song, "ハイサイけけ" (Haisai Keke).
