JUST WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OSHARE KEI? It doesn't seem to really exist anymore. I can't think of that many active Oshare Kei bands. Plus the number of new bands, arriving that choose to be Oshare Kei are low. The Oshare Kei scene has much less bands than it used to: Classic examples of Oshare Kei bands: Just what has happened to bands like these? What does everyone here think?

It has to be LAREINE for me. I don't like Versailles personally. LAREINE have this magical atmosphere to their music. Mayu in particular made the band shine, talented guitarist/composer. I also preferred how Kamijo sang in LAREINE, lol. I know not a lot of people do, but i do so. Their whole concept, costumes and music appealed to me more than Versailles. LAREINE were special. Yes, their music was more diverse than Versailles.

Well this sucks, at least release some music first before leaving lol.

Oh i forgot to mention CindyKate, i liked them. Hope they aren't affected and get a new label. Nobody has mentioned them yet.

Surprising news, although tbh these new bands that KISAKI signed weren't doing it for me. Nega are shit now, I only follow Megaromania, though they are kinda hit or miss now. Oh and i followed Em Grief when they were active, best UCP band. This label has been around for a while and they did have some great acts. Such as Vidoll, Mar’derayla and HISKAREA. I do think that Megaromania will get another label btw. Will be weird to see UNDERCODE gone though.

What the? I am actually a little bit surprised.

Indeed, i like the lineup. Hiro, Yuhsuke, Ruka and Haruki. Yay.

Yay they are returning. Shame about Kei leaving, I will miss him. But at least Kijin didn't leave, that would be the biggest blow to the band. I think he is the most talented person. Oh a mini! Waiting for more news.

Ugh another member departing, shame.

actually, he wrote at his blog that POPCORE is his last band WHAT?!? Oh crap. Sucks.

Lol. But i hope kiki goes to a new, better band.

Shame , everything was going nice for them too. 2 blows to the band, hope they can recover from this and find new members.

Wow this is awesome. K-suke and SIN, SIN, SIN.

Ah good to hear! Curious about the mini album.

AH, tamiiiii! He's a pretty good bassist, it's a shame he never joined a band or anything after SectMa. Nice to see mar take part as well.

I agree with you 100%, I liked how Sato was all happy go lucky all the time, they were a enjoyable listen. Why does everyone love Ginta? Sato did try and rebuild the band when everyone left, gotta give him credit for that.

I only liked Sato, such a shame they always amused me.

Yes. Well i have heard no news from them.

Sucks, i do think they will get a new vocal quickly though tbh.

Valicious is cool.

I will look out for that Vior Gloire album. Never really got into SUZAKU.

Will miss you about Pres, we had a few funny chats about BAISER etc lol. Take care and good luck with what you are doing.

Cool lineup, looking forward to it.

Ah i remember ROMANESQUE A LIVE. Nice news, will keep an eye on them.

Same.
