"K.K. Jongara" is a K.K. Slider song that first appears in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Jongara is a style of Japanese folk music in the Tsugaru-jamisen genre, from the Tsugaru area (now the Aomori Prefecture). The song is fast-paced and dramatic, with a call-and-response between K.K.'s guitar and whistling in its mid-section. The aircheck version is primarily a duet between two shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument, with additional percussion and vocal chanting, as well as being played in a much less dramatic key, and simply repeating the "chorus" of the song.

Album cover[edit]

Album cover in Animal Crossing: New Leaf

The album cover for "K.K. Jongara" features K.K. Slider and Phil dressed in Japanese traditional clothing, and playing their shamisen under a cherry-blossom tree. K.K. and Phil as a duo may be a reference to the Yoshida Brothers, a Tsugaru-jamisen performance duo. In New Leaf, there is red illegible text written down the middle vertically under a logo, while in New Horizons, it is under a flower and more clearly reads the Japanese title of the song, "けけじょんがら" (Keke Jongara).
