Cutie Queen Vol. 1 (キューティークイーン VOL.1, Kyūtī Kuīn Boryūmu Wan) is the first album by the Japanese pop idol group Cute, released on October 25, 2006 on the Zetima label. The album was released in limited and regular editions. The limited edition included an extra DVD.
The album debuted at number 7 in the Daily Oricon Albums Chart. It ranked 15th in the Oricon weekly chart, staying in the list for 3 weeks. As of 2011, it remains C-ute's 2nd best selling album.
The single "Wakkyanai (Z)" (わっきゃない(Z), Wakkyanai Zetto; It's easy) was released on July 29, 2006 on fb indie label. Its title is a play on words being that "Wakkyanaize" itself has no true meaning. It is only an indirect translation of colloquial "Wake-nai-ze" (訳ないぜ) into the English idiom "it's easy", after being deformed deliberately to achieve an English-sounding title. The song was their initial original tune, and was first sung on November 27, 2005, at a fan club event. In June 2006, it was chosen as a theme song for "Kodomo Mirai-Haku 2006" (こども未来博2006, Science-Expo for Children 2006) and was decided to be released in July. This was the final release to feature Megumi Murakami.
