For those of you that are unfamiliar with it, Totaka's Song is a simple 19 note melody created by Kazumi Totaka, a sound designer that has worked on a broad range of Nintendo games over the years. Totaka's Song first appeared in X – a shooter for the original Gameboy – as a hidden secret and ever since, it has become something of a tradition that it appears in nearly every game that he works on. In all fairness, it could be in every game that he's worked on; the tune is hidden so well each time, it's not unreasonable to think that nobody's managed to find it yet in the few games it's not confirmed in.
Evidently, the song has been discovered in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. After scanning the DJ KK Slider amiibo card into the game, placing a turntable for the first time will trigger the song. Here's video proof of it:

Hehe...that's cute. Where in ACNL is it please does anyone know? Don't recall hearing it before
@Toadsfriend You can request kk song, or have a very slow connection when connecting to the island over the internet.
What, no fair. It as disgrace that they're locking something as important as this easter egg behind an amiibo paywall.
Lol, I'm only joking . This is a cool little thing to have in the game. I've not got his card yet, but I might pick up a few more packs at some point. I'm almost tempted to get this game just so I'll have a use for those cards.
I don't get what the song is suppose to be. Is it something that if you hear it, you like explode with happiness or something?
@Artwark It's just a song in loads of Nintendo games haha, just a nice little extra!
You also get the song by downloading Louie from the 3DS upstairs. At least I did.
@Just_Ethan the song was locked behind DLC in MK8
@Just_Ethan that's not the only way to get it, it's one of the music furniture pieces some villagers unlock
I find it funny how this song keeps returning. I like how it becomes something of a hunt to find it in every game he is involved in!
If K.K. Song being in an Animal Crossing game counts as news, then there should be an article on how hearts will appear in Zelda U. Then again, that hasn't been confirmed yet, has it?
Ate Amiibo cards the new "hard-to-find-sell-onEbay-for-a-billion-dollars-thing"? I still haven't bought any, haha. Prolly just gonna stay out of this one, as I really have no interest in ACHHD anyway. However, I will buy the KK Slider Amiibo FIGURE when it comes out. Because KK is the bomb-diggity.
Maybe it's in every single video game ever created but we just can't find it.
Not sure why everyone loses their mind when they find this.
@Sanicranfast
No it isn't:

Dude looks pissed in that pic! Haha.
Nice!
I have KK Song music boxes in every room in my ACNL house.
Laughing at everyone saying "Oh no! Amiibo-locked content!"
Obviously, they haven't played enough Animal Crossing. The song is called K.K. Song and has been in every AC game since the beginning. The song is also unlocked by regular villagers. This is not breaking news at all. Everyone please check your facts.
Whilst it hasn't been proven that "Totaka's Song" is available on every game the sound designer worked on, it should become pretty standard for the song to appear in every major Animal Crossing title considering it is one of K.K. Slider's usual songs, and we all know what his Japanese name とたけけ (Totakeke) is based on you-know-who.

"taka's Song first appeared in X – a shooter for the original Gameboy – as a hidden secret and ever since, it has become something of a tradition that it appears in nearly every game that he works on. "
Just read the article. K.K. Song is actually his recurring secret tune. K.K.'s initials actually stand for a similar spelling of Totaka's name, that's because K.K. Sliders is actually based off of Totaka himself.
Fun fact, this guy also voices Yoshi.
Everybody who's like, "This is just K.K.'s Song!" K.K.'s Song IS Totaka's Song... K.K. Slider is a character based off of Kazumi Totaka. They even look alike.
@KodyDawg Oh okay, gotcha. And thanks haha.
@Shugo
Yeah that wasn't really clear to me from your comment.
