We have:

> Easy peasy + lemon squeezy (+ additional rhymes)

I've come across this expression:

> らくしょう + かいしょう + ??しょう

Where I was unable to clearly identify the third element, but it sounds like
じょ or じょう

My candidates for the words are 楽勝、快勝、常勝

Since I was unable to find expressions corresponding to them [(from
tangorin)](http://tangorin.com/examples/%E6%A5%BD%E5%8B%9D%E5%BF%AB%E5%8B%9D)
[(from
alc)](http://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=%E6%A5%BD%E5%8B%9D%E5%BF%AB%E5%8B%9D&ref=sa),
I decided to post this question.

  1. What are the words (Did I get them right?)
  2. Is this expression recognizable? Is it common or uncommon usage?
  3. Are there other expressions to convey "easy peasy"

words expressions
Word play: "Easy peasy" analog
1.楽勝 means " easy victory". 快勝 means "good victory" and it may not easily win.
常勝(じょうしょう) means that " always win".

2.They are recognizable and common usage.

3.I don't come across my mind now.

Of course the individual words are very common, but personally I do not
recognize this as a fixed expression. I found [one
person](http://namira229.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-1066.html) who wrote a blog
entry titled “圧勝。楽勝。快勝。”, and [another
person](http://ncc1701.jugem.jp/?eid=3188) with “楽勝。快勝。圧勝。”. Yet [another
person](http://www.tfm.co.jp/lock/staff/onair/2010/1109/) seems to have used
“楽勝快勝優秀賞” as a radio name. Could it be that what you heard was a one-off —
something just made up by the person?

There are several Japanese expressions that are similar to _easy peasy_ :

  1. ちょちょいのちょい
  2. 屁{へ}のカッパ (or カッパの屁)
  3. お茶{ちゃ}の子さいさい
  4. 余裕{よゆう}のよっちゃん

All of them except #1 may sound a little dated though. #4 is a lame Showa-era
joke, but I bet people who've heard of it will find it funny in an ironic,
hipster way by now. Also I might add 朝飯前{あさめしまえ} (lit. _before breakfast_ ) or
屁でもない (lit. _not even a fart_ ), but those seem more like metaphorical idioms
akin to “piece of cake”, rather than a word play like “easy peasy”.
