I love that they didn't include all their singles in it, but I find weird that they included ANSWER xDD

well i normally wouldnt open a thread for one single anime, but this might justify a own thread imo.
 
they just announced a new Pokemon anime based on the original Blue/Red/Green games. so it wont be like the first pokemon season. it will be a legit adaption of the game.
 
sounds pretty cool imo.

These are the first that came into my mind. Besiddes the first three, they're not in any particular order.

Here's my list : Other than my favorite visual kei band the rest of em are pretty much all in the same category as for how much i listen to em/like em etc XD
 
1. ViViD
2. DaizyStripper
3. HERO
4. UNiTE.
5. カメレオ
6. DIV
7. REALies
8. Royz
9. xTRiPx
10. ν[NEU]
 
There are a few more bands i could replace any of the bands other than ViViD with but well judgin of how often i listen to each band's music i got on my pc these must be the the top 10 ones ;p And i have left out every heavy/dark? sound band i listen to like DIAURA/R指定/己龍 (i dont give a shit about what you think as heavy but for me these bands kind of music is the definition of heavy, im not metal shit type of guy but i can enjoy any kind of music as long as for some random reason it appeals to me ♥)

I was a huge fan of SID in their indies days. I still like their music because I think they have a crazy amount of flair, but somehow after they majored their music became more unattractive to me. I don't think the reason is them "becoming more mainstream" (or at least not entirely because of that) - I don't know - but they hardly write songs like Aikagi, Alibi and those from their "Ren'ai" album anymore

I LOVE ダウナー so MUCH <3

Haha cute but you kind of are. Osare is a joke term for oshare so yeah Nyasagi is right. Oshare means someone who's really stylish, osare means someone who thinks they're really stylish, but in fact they're not.

This is weird. I was under the impression that pretty much every new band popping up in recent months is of the lighter, colorful style and makes happy, strongly dance-oriented music with lots and loops and samples and autotune. Stuff like DEVI+TEC. Avidit, カメレオ or LUCHe.
Sure, it's not classic oshare but to me it's just seems like the next step of it.

I am not really into oshare, except for Aicle. because they were pretty unique, but I agree to what the people here have said. Old and classic Oshare isn't popular for the same reason as traditional or darker visual kei is- because they don't sell well anymore.
I personally don't think that heavier or darker visual kei bands are 'in' now- if that would be the case there weren't so many techno-dance rock bands who overuse autotune and are all "everything's love and peace! Let's Party!" In that case we could even dare to say oshare is somehow still alive in the neo visual trend- but only the cover in which the neo visual bands are wrapped to be sold better to fangirls and fanboys who wnat their bands to be "KAWAIIII!".

Whenever oshare kei is mentioned, one band comes in mind : An Cafe ^^ So like Zess is saying Realies are definitely leaning more to the oshare kei style but how exactly can oshare kei bands be defined nowadays ? >< If you take a classical oshare kei band like An Cafe and some others Aicle(unique awesomeness ),Aile,Juliette,Zip.er etc (got an endless list since when i got into vk i only looked for oshare kei bands lol) their style of music in nowhere to be found in the bands nowadays so in my opinion oshare kei must have developed to something completely different or stop existing >>> So i dont think you can call any band from the last years an oshare kei band since except the already ones that the most have disbaned no new bands come out claiming the title oshare-kei >< And like Champ mentioned bands like Devi+tec,Luche,Avivid in my opinion they can be said to be "neo" oshare kei bands but nowhere near the classic oshare kei style (Sorry if i didnt make out any sense because i wrote a lot as they came in mind ) (although i checked it 2-3 times >>)

oh D. how could we even forget the best oshare kei band in history

Accidentally wandered into this thread and thought I'll do a transliteration of the lyrics (into romaji ^^)
 
 
「~0~」
Te wo nobasu    Todokanai sora
Seijaku no yoru ni asa wo matsu
Saketa yami    Matenrou no shita
Ryoute wo hiroge tsubasa wo maneta
break the wall! break the wall!
exceed yourself!!
Te wo nobasu    Nijindeku sora
Yubisaki ni koboreta hikari to kage
Itsukamita,    ikutsuka no yume
Sono me wo akete sora wo niranda
it's impossible to go back.
our endless dream is started.
the time came.
Don't fear anything! fly!!
Habataita ame wo nuketa
Itsuwari no sekai wo koe
Tsunaida te nara hanasanu you
Gyutto tsuyoku nigirishimete
Nozonda keshiki no hate
Toberu to shinjiteru kara
do not fear it    motto takaku e
Kakureta tsuki no kumo wo harai    Kitto (kitto) mirai e
draw the dream    Asu wo irodotte miseru
Harewataru sora ni
Kako wo toikaketemiru kedo
Furikaeranaide
Tada mae wo muite
Kanaderu dake sa
Habataita ame wo nuketa    
Itsuwari no sekai wo koe
Tsunaida te nara hanasanu you
Gyutto tsuyoku nigirishimete
Nozonda keshiki no hate
Toberu to shinjiteru kara
do not fear it    motto takaku e
Monokuro no asa wo    Irodori egaku yo
Niji no kanata e
