Animal Crossing (Gamecube): Every Hourly Theme - Cherry Blossom Festival Variations

Just recently found out about the Cherry Blossom Festival versions of all of the AC hourly themes. I really enjoy the changes they made to some of these! There wasn't any sort of video compiling these all together so I decided to make one myself.
Here is a place where you can download all the songs: downloads.khinsider.com/game-...

Still my favorite Animal Crossing OST. These tunes are so much more memorable than the ones in New Horizons.

[@fletchqc9900]

I feel like animal crossing soundtracks have been going on a downward tangent ever since the first game. Acgc really felt like each and every single hour theme fit the time of the day it represented, acww and acgc had some really good tracks but they felt too similar to one another, acnl was boring and acnh was straight up annoying.

[@BillionairesArentYourFriends]

Why does New Horizons' music sound like it's mocking me? Some of the afternoon tracks make me feel like someone is annoyed with me somewhere.

[@fletchqc9900]

@@BillionairesArentYourFriends i mean, the same feeling is present in the gamecube game with 2pm and 3 pm. Makes sense. During those hours you're usually either bored out of your mind, sleepy as hell for no reason, or working/at school just waiting for the day to end already.

[@BillionairesArentYourFriends]

@@fletchqc9900 I disagree but only because I don't think gamecube had those mellow tunes during those times. Gamecube captured those hours very well, and they were quite the opposite of how you're describing. Kids are usually getting home from school and the tunes are upbeat to match the mood...New Horizons is the opposite. It creates that mood you're describing, but not everyone is bored or sleepy in the middle of the day. Although considering my point was the songs sound somehow sarcastic (as if the day is just kinda...ya know, going). I don't even know how to describe it. I always put different AC music on over New Horizons. Minus a few songs, they're just so medicore. They're so dull. Although 5am gets a shout out.

[@ellapropella258]

@@fletchqc9900 In my opinion acnl had one of the best soundtracks and wasn't boring at all! Especially 5pm is soo beautiful :)

[@Dezarros]

I love these so much. The cherry blossom variants make every track so relaxing, and it's perfect. It's a shame this was never done for future games, even if the event only lasts a week or so.

[@izzywave6906]

it would’ve been perfect in new horizons tbh for fall cherry blossom and festive season

[@BillionairesArentYourFriends]

A week was a lot a long time ago it feels like with the pace of things nowadays

[@555redkid]

If I recall correctly, this event only happens for 3 days compared to 10 in future games, they definitely could've and I always wonder what the New Horizons themes would've sounded like in a style they did for these themes.

[@catsdogswoof3968]

I mean rain shine or dime should have Them

[@guildmastercharlie8881]

So cool how they made cherry blossom variant for every hourly track. They didn't have to but they did😊🌸🌸

[@user-jy8kl3um9u]

I love how all the late 20s and 30-somethings are rejoicing in our childhood together right now in 2023. I miss GameCube games that bring back my childhood/teen years. I'm now playing this music for my baby to enjoy :)

[@TheJokeExplainerr]

No one: Roald: O_O

[@allisonsephora]

8am and 9am 🥰💕🌸 so much nostalgia that it honestly makes me cry. 💔 The happiest days.

[@Vendetta162X]

There were more song tracks in this game than I first thought playing as a kid. It's no wonder this game felt it had heart; they were dedicated enough to add in these details that go over our heads, but are there to make things dynamic. You do not get that at all from New Horizon and it's such a shame.

[@BillionairesArentYourFriends]

New Horizons spit in it's ancestors faces. It's a spin off. Although I do like it, but it's not Animal Crossing. No God powers in AC.

[@oreocookie1331]

100% agree. NH just felt lifeless to me.

[@bepis_real]

Thank you so much for preserving these! I had a pretty tough time finding all these tracks in clear quality online, or at least in one place.

[@someonesbrain4153]

GameCube seems like the only one who does this when it comes to cherry blossom season.

[@kreiselsina]

this is by far my favorite AC playlist 💛

[@AlyCatVR]

Coming back to songs from the GCN era makes me sad because the songs now just aren't as good. The only hourly tune I tolerate in New Horizons is 12 PM. These hourly tunes, I can listen to on repeat endlessly and never get sick of them. Thank you for uploading this!

[@AkatsukiMidnightCat]

Oh my more people who think like me about the horizons music. Cant stand it for long as well. Love the old ones i wish they bring them back ;(

[@Frenposter]

That time of the year again, folks!

[@pichubro77]

The music from the GameCube is just in a league of its own

[@Little-Dude]

There are many more music tracks for the GC Animal Crossing than can often be found in playlists and such online. There are different tracks/variants for weather and events that are often overlooked. Thank you for uploading this!

[@Neithan_Hirsch]

Hearing this at 6am on school is just perfect

[@sareli.]

Thank you a lot! I've discovered one of the hourly songs with this cherry blossom version in a compilation video and I didn't know if it was a fan remix or if it actually existed in the game. I can't describe the feeling of discovering 24 more songs of one of my childhood games... The 7AM one just made me feel completed inside. So many memories!! I just want to go back to winter 2004 and catch some bitterlings at night to sell next morning! I really really appreciate your work bringing these themes to light... I was about to put my old game on my wii to check it out myself. My hero!

[@frenchiesottises8193]

I feel like the cherry blossom variants don't get enough love. I usually see the snow variants or some other tune like the rain theme or the New Year's Theme. I wanna see more love towards these variants cause something about them really speaks romantic/sweet to me. Nobody asked, but here's my favorite ones out of this list: 7 A.M., 8 A.M., 9 A.M., 3 P.M., 4 P.M., and 9 P.M. I love them all to death, but these six really stand out to me. Small P.S.: Big nostalgia when it comes to these variants cause I fished so much that I found out April was the best month to fish for red snappers. I don't know if this was intentional, but I made some big bucks because of it. There was also a lot of barred knifejaw too, but red snappers were at their peak in this month.

[@HaileyAndNathan]

I listen to this when I have writer's block, and it seems to really help. Thank you for uploading this!

[@michiino2954]

the music feels so aesthetic, I love these lol

[@joshuadouglas2962]

I only discovered these yesterday. So beautiful. Yet another reason to try and get my hands on a copy of this game. It's the only AC I never played.

[@kerorocastle]

these variations were my favourite as a kid, and being able to have the luxury of listening to them like this is so nice, thank you for your hard work and uploading this!

[@johnisfunny]

A piece of art

[@masonbuckwalter7384]

Yaaaay thank you so much for uploading this I’ve been always looking for the complete hourly cherry blossom 🌸 themes ... and sidenote in my population growing town I had Anicotti and Roald so this thumbnail is perfect 💗

[@gdawg1585]

9 AM sounds like something you'd hear in Stardew Valley

[@foresttemple2393]

THANK YOU💖 These are the best variations in the game!! (along with a lot of snow tracks)

[@Fliflo-oziz]

Very cute songs

[@matjb]

Thank you for uploading this. This takes me back to the good days. This was always my favorite time of year in this game.

[@codingpileofdirt]

I personally never got to play the original Animal Crossing, but thanks a lot for uploading these!

[@deidaraakun]

3pm ;_;

[@Wapako]

I will never understand why after 11 am is 12 pm, it should be 12 am, then 1 pm. It make no sense to start to 12 and then going back to 1.

[@PommeVanille]

Thank you so much for making this compilation

[@joepines3278]

So wonderful, thank you so much

[@katmie]

Thank you for this! Love listening to this :)

OH GOD I WAS LOOKING EVERYWHERE AND COULDEN'T FIND IT AND THOUGHT IT WASN'T UPLOADED BUT IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!! :O

[@harerodent453]

I didn't know there were cherry blossom versions of the hourly music 💀

[@momoapples]

Next month couldn't come sooner

[@cirodev]

[@nylorin]

Ty

[@gdawg1585]

Was the Cherry Blossom Festival only for the Japanese release of the game?

[@tendog]

I think it was in the US version too!

[@gdawg1585]

@tendog I just found that out its in both games but some features are changed in the U.S. version

[@milkymaru4950]

i love animal crossing music. but new horizon´s music doesn´t hit as hard unfortunately :

[@arandomeronyoutube1145]

[@tombo4967]
