It’s time for another song by Akatsuki Records, ワガママ ONE DAY!
While I can pronounce ワガママ (wagamama) I had to look up the meaning, which is essentially spoiled / selfish, and can also mean “naughty child”. Makes complete sense given the song.
I’m sure you’ll pick up on the reasoning for that word in the title fairly quickly!
If I had to summarize this song in a few words, I’d have to say… catgirl daycare. This song pushes the style of Akatsuki Records songs I’ve covered so far into a new direction. We’ve had wacky / energetic, emotional / impactful, and now, whatever you’d call this one. I guess childish / energetic? In a good way though.
One thing I will admit is that it took several listens for this song to grow on me. With all of the background voices and.. dialogue, it’s a really chaotic song. Which I guess is why it needs a few extra listens to unpack.
At first I thought that this song was based off of the Touhou track Necrofantasia, which I believe is quite popular as I even knew about it. But it turns out there is another Touhou track that uses the same melody line: Necro-Fantasy. And this song is based off Necro-Fantasy, although it’s clear that there’s quite the similarities between those two Touhou tracks.
It’s difficult to compare ワガママ ONE DAY! to it’s Touhou counterpart, because it’s such an odd song! For once, I actually think that the Akatsuki Records rendition is more chaotic than it’s Touhou inspiration. Somehow all of the sounds and elements in ワガママ ONE DAY! just fit together really well. The parts where girls sort of break out in dialogue in the background are probably the strangest part of the song, but I think they make the song more interesting in their own way. Might as well commit to the chaos right?
I’m going to rate ワガママ ONE DAY! 4.5 / 5. It’s a catchy song, and I love the melody line / inspiration for this song (Both Necrofantasia and Necro-Fantasy). But it does take a few listens to really catch on, or at least it did for me.
That’s it for this week’s song!
What are your thoughts on it?
Until next time!
Thanks for reading.

Ha! Wagamama is a chain of Japanese style restaurants too. We had them in England and New Zealand. I miss their Chicken Katsu Curry. Great food.

Chicken Katsu Curry sounds amazing..!
I’m guessing they didn’t have catgirls though. They must be hiding all the catgirls in Japan somewhere.

No catgirls, but that would have been amazing. Their food is great and reasonably priced too.
