I play Animal Crossing: New Leaf - K.K. Slider's New Song (2) composed by Kazumi Totaka, Manaka Kataoka, and Atsuko Asahi.

Let's identify and examine the compositional techniques in Animal Crossing: New Leaf - K.K. Slider's New Song to enhance the gameplay and visuals.

K.K. Slider is a dog who performs compositions at Club LOL. His formal name is Totakeke, which is a variant of the name Kazumi Totaka, one of the composers for the game. When Totaka-san's name is listed as Totaka Kazumi and then Totaka K., the name sounds like Totakeke!

The opening chords contain a major seventh and two minor sevenths. These chords create a lounge feel and complements the setting where K.K. performs. The rhythms are dance-like. The melody is catchy, and K.K. Slider seems to like pieces that have a melody.

The phrases are of different lengths to allow for repeated listenings not to seem repetitive. The first phrase is 4 measures long, the second phrase 10 measures long, and the third phrase is 6 measures long.

Here is a video of many K.K. Slider's new songs!
