He occasionally also does voice acting for Nintendo games, including Yoshi from the Mario and Yoshi series.

Totaka's Song

The infamous "Kazumi Totaka's Song" is a short, looping song, earliest cited feature in X, that has been heard in almost every game he has worked on. Such games include Mario Paint, Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Link's Awakening, Yoshi Touch & Go, Super Mario Land 2, Virtual Boy Wario Land, Pikmin 2, Luigi's Mansion, and Yoshi's Story.

Other games which Kazumi Totaka has worked on, but have unconfirmed appearances of the song, include Wii Sports, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, and Wave Race 64.

Animal Crossing series

To hear the song in Animal Crossing or Animal Crossing: Wild World, enter the request "K.K. Song" from K.K. Slider between 8pm and midnight on Saturday nights. You will also receive an aircheck to listen to in your house (requesting is not required in Wild World). K.K. Slider has the real name of Totakeke, which is Totaka's name shortened in Japanese. Totakeke is said to be an animal version caricature of Totaka. This name could be derived from how Totaka's name is said in Japanese (the last name coming first), Totaka Kazumi.

To everyone who's studying with this music:

Checklist:

• A bottle of water, at least 1liter. Your brain works better if it has enough water and drinking helps you to concentrate💧

• Your charger. You sometimes don't even notice that your device's battery is going down, so better have it plugged in all the time🔋

• Your headphones. You will be able to focus more with headphones, because it blocks background noises. Also, if it's a late night study session, you won't wake up anyone🎧

• a tea or coffee. Coffee keeps you awake, green or black tea can make you feel more awake as well.☕

• Your study/work stuff: your laptop/tablet/phone , a few pens, paper or whatever you need.⌨️

•Anything else you could need, what about a heat pad, a blanket, a good lamp, your pet so you have a study buddy 🐈

Reminder : After an hour, you should stand up and walk a bit around. Better stop the music or put on different music for the break. Open your window, even if it's cold outside. Fresh air will make it better, trust me.

You could also lay your head down on your desk for ten minutes and listen to a podcast. Or, if you have to read a book, listen to the audiobook of it. You can also listen to the audiobook while doing another thing, that's even better than listening to music while reading the book.

I hope y'all had a good day, if not, that's okay too. Remember to take care of yourself and try to get some sleep tonight 😴🧸

( This comment isn't originally mine, but I think it can help a lot of people :)

I miss these vibes from the older games, I wonder if they'll ever go back to the more atmospheric chill kind of vibes? All the recent games feel like they're slowly drifting in a different direction

@craigland7349

2y↑19

It's not the games. It's you. You are getting older and it's just not the same anymore. I've been feeling the same the past few years. I have noticed it is all due to getting older and your mind just not being the same as back then.

@imjarrifried5819

@Craig Land That's what my mum said when I mentioned this to her :( it's so sad though, I really miss that feeling yk?

@craigland7349

2y↑8

I completely understand. I yearn to feel the way I did playing video games at a young age. Any time we play old games from our childhood, we are searching for those feeling we felt. We can get close sometimes but they will forever be out of our reach.

@RuriGokouMadoMura

2y↑29

@Craig Land
People do get older and things do change, I agree with that, but I think in this situation specifically, different music can also evoke different vibes. I didn't grow up with Animal Crossing (I got into it in recent years, so there's not much of a nostalgia factor to it for me,) but I think it's pretty plain to see that the first Animal Crossing game and something like New Horizons evoke completely different feelings with their soundtracks. The cozy feeling of having all the time in the world to waste playing games is something that can and does change/fade as one grows up, but a game's soundtrack can still evoke an atmospheric, chill vibe even with age. I'd say it's more that the games are going for a different feeling now, it's happened with a lot of video game franchises over the years.

@SuperDuperJamer

2y↑2

@Craig Land Unfortunately, I dunno if I can agree! I think some things could feel similar even if they're new. Shovel Knight's a good example, and Breath of the Wild, emulating rlly old games, rather than say Zelda: Skyward Sword which was felt... different, to the NES ones.

Wow. Why doesn't this have any views? In fact, why were the original Animal Crossing Population Growing soundtrack videos removed? Nintendo are really striking people posting the soundtrack of a 20-year-old game? Anyway, I am glad this beautiful piece of music is still available :)

Easily one of the most iconic hourly themes from the series 🥲

This honestly just makes me cry. Gives me flashbacks to when I was just a kid and I would play the Gamecube with my brothers everyday, especially AC. I miss when I was close to my brothers and we all weren't grown up.

@BillionairesArentYourFriends

Making new memories is just as special because you remember them much more and can appreciate the little things. It's a more calming existence. Being a kid is fun and you're innocent, but at some point, you want to be able to make your own decisions. Being independent is fun as long as you're young at heart. You never truly age, only your body does. Not your soul. Nourish it with emotions, from then and right now.

Beautiful. I listen to this song to cleanse my palette, either sonically or just life in general, it helps me calm down, think, focus on tasks I enjoy or just helps me enjoy having nothing to do, just sitting and not doing anything for a while, not necessarily enjoying life but not hating it either.

This hourly music in particular encapsulates the stillness of a stable life through its repetitive, placid and minimalist notes illustrating the uniformity of chores: cleaning, cooking, eating, drinking - they are all monotonous and require little energy. Yet in this is a sense of bliss despite its monotony, knowing that the sun will rise up as it always did, and you will get to appreciate life's stability again. Learn to enjoy doing the bare minimum, and you will never feel dissatisfied; nor will you feel the need to expend laborious amounts of energy to chase highs, and, consequentially, suffer from the lows of exhaustion.

@hereliescontempt

@@elwinamaya1889 i definitely recommend it. I wasn't sure about it but I got new horizons and it's one of my favorite parts of the day now. But you don't even need to play the newest one, you can play any of them. Even if you don't have any nintendo consoles, you can emulate the old ones. I'd definitely go for wild world or the original!

@jaye4521

The BGM in the first Animal Crossing is tonally so different from everything that came after it. It has this really amateurish, lo-fi sound to it. Like, as a deliberate style. Lots of simple loops and repetitive instrument samples that make me think of some random person messing with a Casio keyboard. Perfectly fits the game's mood of being a broke beatnik moving into a small, lazy town and just kinda drifting from day to day.

@hereliescontempt

1y↑4

the drums sound like a TR-808 drum machine, the guitars sound like an early iteration of some kind of string emulator or synthesizer, and the bleeps and bloops are just synth hits - likely just a sine or square wave with a very short attack and very short release. hope this helps
