'''K.K. Ballad''' is a [[K.K. Slider]] song. It is heavenly and makes you feel like you are looking at the world, at yourself, from outside yourself. It has an orchestra, simple 70s ballad drums, and a plinking, steel drum all the way through, being the melody. [[Peggy]], [[Puddles]], [[Rhonda]], [[Liz]], [[Ed]], [[Ellie]], and [[Molly]] all play this song in their homes.

"K.K. Ballad" is a K.K. Slider song that first appears in Doubutsu no Mori. Its style derives from the modern meaning of "ballad," as in a 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 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."
