K.K.K.K.K. is the second studio album by Japanese musician Kahimi Karie. It was released on July 15, 1998 by Crue-L Records and Polydor Records.[9] In the United States, K.K.K.K.K. was issued on October 26, 1999 by Le Grand Magistery, following Kahimi Karie (1998) as Karie's second American album release.[2]

Like most Kahimi Karie albums, the songs are predominantly sung in English, though several are written in French. A song with lyrics by Karie herself is also included ("What Is Blue?"), rare in her early work.
