KK Slider Songs in Animal Crossing New Leaf: The Basics
Every Saturday night, the traveling musician K.K. Slider performs at Club LOL (or the Train Station before it opens), and each Animal Crossing New Leaf KK Slider song you receive can be placed in a music player in your home. New Leaf contains 91 collectible songs, and the same list appears in Happy Home Designer and the Quiz Show minigame of amiibo Festival.
K.K. hands you a free song after each live performance, but random picks only go so far. Many songs are request-only, meaning K.K. will never play them unless you ask by their exact name. Understanding how the system works is the difference between a half-empty music shelf and a complete collection.
K.K. Slider performs on Saturday nights. Show up, request a song, and he gives you a copy for your stereo after the show ends.
| Mechanic | Detail |
|---|---|
| Total obtainable songs | 91 |
| Invalid (unobtainable) songs | Animal City, Drivin' |
| Free song per show | Yes, one per live performance |
| Request-only songs | Must be named exactly when requesting |
| Shared catalog | Also used in Happy Home Designer, amiibo Festival |
Genre Guide: Picking Songs by Mood
K.K.'s catalog spans an enormous range of genres, from waltzes to heavy metal. When you don't have a specific song in mind, choosing by mood helps you build a varied collection instead of ending up with five ballads in a row.
Chill & Cozy
- K.K. Lullaby
- K.K. Bossa
- K.K. Waltz
- Hypno K.K.
Energetic & Fun
- Rockin' K.K.
- Go K.K. Rider
- K.K. Salsa
- DJ K.K.
Quirky & Memorable
- Stale Cupcakes
- K.K. Dirge
- K.K. Metal
- Space K.K.
Tracks like K.K. Bossa, Forest Life, and Bubblegum K.K. are long-time series staples and great early picks for a new town's soundtrack.
Request-Only Songs and Exact Spelling
Several songs in New Leaf exist only if you request them by name. Get the spelling wrong and K.K. plays one of his "invalid request" tunes instead, wasting your Saturday night performance slot.
| Song | Request Requirement |
|---|---|
| K.K. Étude | Must include the accent mark over the E |
| Señor K.K. | Must include the tilde over the n |
| Two Days Ago | Request-only in New Leaf, obtainable freely in some other games |
| K.K. Birthday | Only played around your birthday period |
K.K. Étude was renamed from K.K. Etude in City Folk, and New Leaf requires the accented version. Similarly, Señor K.K. needs the tilde. Without correct punctuation, you get an invalid-request song instead.
The Hidden Invalid Songs
When you make a request K.K. doesn't recognize, he plays one of three special "hazure" tunes. Two of them are named in the game files: Animal City and Drivin'. Neither can be collected in New Leaf, but following the series' tradition, both became obtainable secret songs in the next mainline game, New Horizons. A third invalid tune, Farewell, follows the same pattern.
How to Complete Your Collection: Step by Step
Attend Every Saturday Show
Visit Club LOL on Saturday night after it opens. Even without a request, K.K. gives you one random song per performance — the backbone of any collection.
Request Songs by Exact Name
Ask for specific titles each week. Prioritize request-only songs like Two Days Ago, K.K. Étude, and Señor K.K., since random picks will never unlock them.
Trade with Other Players
Duplicate songs can be traded or given to visiting players, and you can receive theirs in return — the fastest way to fill gaps.
Mail Songs to Villagers
If you mail a song to a villager, they will play it on their stereo, adding variety around town.
Track What's Missing
Compare your album wall against the full 91-song list and request the remaining titles in batches.
At one song per Saturday, random picks alone take well over a year and a half for all 91 tracks. Exact requests and trading cut that time dramatically.
Collection Checklist and Beyond
Music Collector Milestones:
- Attend your first Saturday performance at Club LOL
- Request a request-only song with exact spelling
- Collect all fan-favorite classics (Bossa, Waltz, Rockin')
- Mail a song to a villager and hear it played
- Complete the 91-song obtainable catalog
Beyond K.K.'s own tracks, New Leaf's soundtrack includes hourly themes, location tunes like The Roost Theme, event music for Toy Day and Halloween, and Kapp'n's rowing songs. These play automatically around town, but only K.K.'s albums can be collected and displayed in your home.
Each song you own shows up as album art in your music players, making the full catalog a satisfying visual trophy wall for your house.
FAQ
Q: How many Animal Crossing New Leaf KK Slider songs are there?
There are 91 obtainable songs in New Leaf. Two additional songs, Animal City and Drivin', are played in response to invalid requests but cannot be collected in this game — they later became official secret songs in New Horizons.
Q: What happens if I request a song K.K. doesn't know?
K.K. plays one of three special invalid-request tunes. You won't receive a copy of these songs in New Leaf, so double-check spelling — especially accented titles like K.K. Étude and Señor K.K. — before requesting.
Q: Can I get every song just by attending shows?
No. Random performances only hand out songs that don't require a request. Request-only tracks such as Two Days Ago must be asked for by exact name, and trading with other players speeds up the rest.
Q: Do villagers use the songs I give them?
Yes. If you mail a song to a villager, they will play it on their stereo in their house, so you can share your favorite tracks around town.
