This is one of the most unhinged tracklists you'll find on any game soundtrack, and it knows exactly what it's doing. Asa kara Zusshiri Milkpot is a 2012 Windows adult game, but the music is playing a completely different game.

"201X - World War 3" sits right next to "Gaze at my Sour Cream Burrito" and "Fling Out my Funky Whey," and somehow it all works. The food-themed track names -- burritos, whey, boudin -- are absurd on purpose, and the compositions match that chaotic energy with funky, genre-blending arrangements.
The standout has to be the Chibi-Tech NES Vocal Mix of "このここねこのこ" (Kono Koko Neko no Ko). Chibi-Tech is a legendary chiptune artist known for pushing the Famicom sound chip to its absolute breaking point, and getting a remix from them elevates this from novelty to genuine chiptune collector's item.
Having the same vocal track in original, karaoke, instrumental, and NES versions gives you the full dissection of what's actually a catchy little song underneath all the absurdity. "HOT TOWN" and "HIGH SPEED!" bring the energy for gameplay segments, "SLOW LIFE" and "MAKE MOOD" dial things down for the quieter scenes, and "CONSEQUENCE" lands with a weight that the title earns.
"Milkpot Special - extra game play mix" ties it together as a kind of greatest-hits medley. It's a small soundtrack with an outsized personality.
