"'''K.K. Ballad'''" is a [[K.K. Slider]] [[K.K. Slider songs|song]] that first appears in {{DnM}}. Its style derives from the modern meaning of "{{Wp|ballad}}," as in a {{Wp|sentimental ballad}}, rather than the traditional storytelling format seen in classical ballads. The song is slow-paced with a melancholic melody, and its aircheck features a string section, a light rhythm, and a plucked violin playing the lead.
 +
 +
The song has a distinctly different melody in {{DnM|nolink}} and {{DnM+}} than in the international release of {{PG}}. The change remains in all subsequent games. It shares this trait with "[[DJ K.K.]]"

"K.K. Ballad" is a K.K. Slider song that first appears in Doubutsu no Mori.

The song has a distinctly different melody in Doubutsu no Mori and Doubutsu no Mori+ than in the international release of Animal Crossing. The change remains in all subsequent games. It shares this trait with "DJ K.K."
