Animal Crossing Composer Inquiry
Hello! I am in search of some information. Would anyone here happen to know/have a source for who composed K.K. Slider's music throughout the Animal Crossing series? I would assume Kazumi Totaka would be the one who composed K.K. Slider's songs, but a source confirming this would be nice. Additionally, I am looking for the composer(s) of the aircheck (not live) versions of the same tracks (so for ex. K.K. Salsa vs K.K. Salsa (Aircheck). Anything would be appreciated. Thank you!

For the original N64 / GC game, all of the KK songs were seemingly made by Toru Minegishi. As he mentions here:
Quote:
Actually, Chorale, Bossa and Metal are featured on their aircheck versions in each CD, which leads me to believe that Minegishi composed those first, and the live versions were made later. To some degree it makes sense, since Minegishi appears with a credit of "Indoor BGM" in Animal Crossing and the aircheck versions are indeed heard inside the residents' houses in the game (and, as he mentions, they kinda sound like they were made on a "cheap keyboard"). As for the live versions, I kinda believe they might have been arranged by Kazumi Totaka, since in this interview he mentions that he had to "arrange 58 pre-existing songs in two weeks". My guess is that after Minegishi's aircheck songs were made, Totaka made their respective KK Slider covers (none of this is being explicitly said though). For further games, I don't know if there is much more info on who composed the new K.K. Slider tracks though. |
