[edit] Removal/Addition of Bands from Oshare Kei list

I saw fit to remove Baroque from the Oshare Kei artist list. They were originally a visual band who saw fit to drop it and instead wear jeans, t-shirts and bandanas. It's not Oshare any more than any other Visual Kei band who saw fit to drop their visuals. -Silvanos

Visuanvi is a well respected database (much like the Internet Movie Database, except for Visual Kei) and the information there is generally reliable.

http://www.xxice09.x0.com/free/vol8.htm This is a "dictonary of Visual Kei terminology." It states that Oshare began in 2002 in the Kantou area of Japan and is focuses in Kantou and Sendai.

It states "バロックが始祖とされている。" - Baroque was the founder/creater/originator. It also includes the comment that "And Baroque withdrew from being Oshare Kei. 'Oshare Kei' from the beginning and what we call 'oshare kei' now are different."

Baroque was only Oshare when they were independent - they dropped the "Oshare" or "Visual" component when they went major. Look at the videos for "Anakuro film" and "Uta" if you are interested in "Oshare" Baroque. Many very important Visual Kei bands dropped their Visual look, that doesn't mean the weren't influential on bands that followed. Denaar 08:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Milphinne misspelling.

It's not Millphine. It's Milphinne, and even used in their URL. Please stop changing it.

[edit] Incorrect dates.

I was going to edit the incorrect time frame stated for the Band Boom, but it's not worth it. This entire article is crap, and the only way to actually fix it is to completely rewrite it.
