The word “oshare” means stylish or fashionable. Musically speaking, the sound is more pop or punk and the lyrics and themes are more positive and bright. The Oshare look is more colorful and cute. The clothes too tend to be more like street fashion than other types. Baroque is considered the pioneer of Oshare Kei with their formation in 2001.

"Why do you look like you're a Final Fantasy character?!"
That is often the question the new age VK's get. With their amazing almost gravity defying hair, crazy unique outfits, and crazy colored contacts and circle lenses.
This subgenre is a spin on Oshare Kei, being its “black version.”
Most Japanese glam bands today, have turned down the less dramatic androgynous gothic look, and had gone to a more bad boy, sexy. crazy look.
Fun Fact!: A lot of the in Final Fantasy VII characters have their looks based off of Visual Kei.
Koteosa Kei
PUNK KEI
Where did you get your outfit?!
Punk style is more street friendly, with it's more simple yet unique outfits. When you see someone coming down the street wearing this, they are most likely very bold people. They don't care what anyone thinks of them and make all the old people say. "YOU CRAZY KIDS!"
Most people who wear punk are mostly teenagers, on the weekends in japan. (Epsecially on Sundays.) The school kids have a chance to wear whatever they want. Most popular place to strut your stuff and show your your unique style in Japan as a teenager, is in SHIBUYA!
