"Totaka's Song" is a 19-note tune composed by Kazumi Totaka that appears in several games that he composed the music for, including several 'Animal Crossing' games. It is usually hidden as an Easter egg and only heard under certain conditions. "K.K. Song", which appears in every mainline Animal Crossing game, is an arrangement of "Totaka's Song". This is a reference to K.K. Slider (whose full name is Totakeke) being a caricature of Totaka.

In addition to the "K.K. Song" version, "Totaka's Song" appears as a hidden Easter egg in Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, requiring the player to wait for several minutes while riding with Kapp'n to play.

Appearances[edit]

In the first-generation games[edit]

"Totaka's Song" appears in every first-generation Animal Crossing game as a secret song, in which the player must approach K.K. Slider when he plays music on Saturday night and request that he play the song "K.K. Song," which is a version of "Totaka's Song."

e-Reader card minigames[edit]

The Series 4 e-Reader cards P13 Boy (7) and P15 Boy (8) contain the "Who's Dunnit?" minigame, which has "K.K. Song" as its normal background music.

In Wild World[edit]

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, the song can be found in the same way as in Animal Crossing by requesting "K.K. Song" from K.K. Slider in The Roost. However, it is no longer a secret song and can be played at random when letting K.K. choose in this game and all subsequent games.

In City Folk[edit]

In Animal Crossing: City Folk, the player can find "K.K. Song" in the same way as in previous games, but it is also hidden as an Easter egg. When Kapp'n is driving the player to and from the city, Kapp'n will whistle tunes alternating between his sea shanty from Animal Crossing and "Marine Song 2001." If the player lets him continue whistling by not progressing his dialogue, he will whistle "Totaka's Song" after about seven minutes.

In New Leaf[edit]

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, when riding with Kapp'n to the Club Tortimer version of Tortimer Island, Kapp'n whistles a rendition of his sea shanty, while a ukulele plays in the background. About six and a half minutes into the song, Kapp'n stops and whistles "Totaka's Song" alongside a ukulele rendition of it, before returning to the normal song in a minor key. This can only be heard if there is considerable lag with the player's internet connection, as the player would normally arrive at the island long before it reaches the "Totaka's Song" section. "K.K. Song" is still present from past games and is randomly mixed into the Club LOL DJ set.

Official European website[edit]

On the original New Leaf European website,[1] when one clicked on K.K. Slider in the background, Totaka's Song would play.

In New Horizons[edit]

"K.K. Song" returns in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and it now can also play in the background on the portable radio.

Other appearances[edit]

In Animal Crossing Plaza[edit]

K.K. can be heard playing the theme in the plaza in Animal Crossing Plaza.

Nintendo 3DS themes[edit]

The "K.K. Slider at Club LOL" Nintendo 3DS theme features K.K. Slider and plays the live version of "K.K. Song" in the background. The "Cinnamoroll and K.K." Sanrio theme also features a special remix of "K.K. Song."
