Kurafu Kei is PUNK, and not sissy punk that most Japanese "punk" bands are. Check out The Piass, Kenzi (Anti Feminism) and G.I.S.M. Nagoya is my favorite genre :D

The Piass really can't be considered oshare because their music style is too heavy. Also oshare is more about being stylish which is DEFINITELY not what the Piass does.

@CaptainTurtels: Kurafu Kei is kinda similar to gothic / nagoya but its kinda more...vivid and less dark let's say so? For instance: THE PIASS.
