"Wakkyanai (Z)" (わっきゃない(Z), It's easy^?) is the fourth single from the Japanese pop group °C-ute, released on July 29, 2006 under an indies label.

The character (Z) is pronounced as zetto (ゼット, zetto^?) (the Japanese pronunciation of Z) in the title, but the pronunciation is changed into ze (ゼ, ze^?) in song as in Wakkyanaize.

This 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, "Wake-nai-ze"^?) into the English idiom "it's easy", after being deformed deliberately to achieve an English-sounding title.

This 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^?)^[1] and was decided to be released in July.
