Animal Crossing: New Leaf — Hourly Music & Soundtrack
Nintendo 3DS · 2012 · 72 hourly tracks · 91 other tracks
Widely treated as the fan favourite. New Leaf keeps the series’ jazzy chord voicings but gives each hour a stronger melodic hook, which is why so many of these tracks turn up in study and lo-fi playlists.
The hourly themes are the heart of the New Leaf soundtrack (OST): every hour of the day has its own track, and the music changes on the hour just as it does in game. Below is the complete 24-track hourly list with durations — press play on any row to hear it right here, or open the radio with New Leaf selected to have it follow your own clock automatically.

How the weather changes the music
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf the hourly theme is re-arranged when it rains or snows — same melody, different instrumentation and mood. You can switch the weather in the radio's settings to hear any hour in any condition, without waiting for the real forecast.
