Oshare kei is a sub-genre in Visual Kei. Only reason that i'm talking about this, as I feel it's important to know the stems in Visual Kei. Oshare kei is Japanese music and a fashion style, translating to "fashion conscience." The bands of the oshare kei genre, unlike those of visual kei, are bouncy and bright, their songs focusing on happy and positive messages like friends and relationships. Their style is colorful, sometimes similar to decora, but usually much more toned down. Other than occasional eyeliner and colored contacts, they rarely wear alot of makeup, also unlike the visual kei genre. Oshare kei started to appear around 2001, and was said to have been started by Ryo of Baroque in their PV "Anakuro Film".

This is An Cafe! I put one of their songs on here called "cherry saku yuuki".

LM.C- Another Oshare Kei band, this is 88!WARNING- THIS IS A LOUD VIDEO.

Oshare Kei fashion is mostly made up of bright colors and eccentric patterns. This style is called Decora and you will probaly see people dress up in over the top accessories with mostly pink on. In my opinion I feel that the style is a little over the top, but many people like the style and continue to dress up like this on Harajuku streets (since Harajuku is the fashion capital of Japan!).
