"Wagamama Na Ofukuro" is a super rare 1993 cassette originally released by Nakahara Masaya's own, label My Fiance's Lifework, and available now, fully remastered, for the first time since its initial release. The title translates to "Selfish Mother" in English, and the tape is known for its confrontational and irreverent approach to music. It consists of handful of tracks that features a barrage of harsh noise, feedback, and distorted vocals.

Despite its abrasive nature, there's a sense of playfulness to the music, with the artist incorporating samples of children's songs and nursery rhymes into the mix; a nod to Nakahara's confrontational and irreverent approach to music and art, which often subverts traditional Japanese imagery and cultural norms. His use of unconventional instruments and sounds, as well as his willingness to push boundaries and challenge established norms, make this cassette a standout in the noise genre.

In 1987, Masaya founded Violent Onsen Geisha ("violent hot springs geisha" - a reference to the traditional Japanese practice of hot spring bathing), quickly becoming one of the most well-known and influential names in the Japanese noise music scene, distinctive among others for frequently displaying a bizarre, sarcastic, and mischievous sense of humour.
