The Sound of Oshare Kei

“The Sound of Oshare Kei” highlights the colorful and contrasting sonic palette of a subgenre known for blending catchy pop hooks with aggressive rock elements and a bold visual flair. This playlist leans into that signature mix with tracks like SuG's "R.P.G.~Rockin' Playing Game" and An Cafe's high-energy "覚醒ヒロイズム〜THE HERO WITHOUT A 'NAME'〜", combining upbeat energy with stylized theatricality. There’s a playful tone throughout, evident in tracks like LM.C’s "88" and DOG inTheパラレルワールドオーケストラ’s sugary "ハルシオンキャンディ".

At the same time, there’s room for more emotional and dramatic cuts—like SID’s "嘘" and D'espairsRay’s darker "Forbidden". Bands like Alice Nine, ViViD, and Megamasso offer a polished melodic edge, while acts such as BugLug, Kameleo, and SHIN experiment with chaotic riffs and lyrical flair. As a whole, the playlist moves through bright, candy-coated rock to heavier, glam-inspired tones, keeping in step with the genre’s fashion-conscious and ever-evolving approach to sound.
